BREAKING NEWS
Common sense reveals that there is no correlation between self-respect and whether or not you show your tits on the internet or how many people you sleep with.
I'm looking for a mad man with a box.

Trigger Warning: Child abuse

Some people have questioned my using the term “child abuse” to describe Mr. I-shot-the-laptop. I am using the term accurately.
This is the Duluth Model Child Abuse Wheel. The Duluth Model is pretty much the standard model for describing how various forms of domestic violence works, in this instance child abuse. I direct the attention of skeptics to the segment...

jumblejo:
Contrary to (inexplicable) popular belief, red flags for abuse aren’t always long sleeves in the summer and mysterious bruises/multiple hospital visits, but also a near-fanatical determination to present your family as perfection itself, or an adamant refusal to talk about home life at all.

Trigger warning: rape, sexual assault, general grossness of all humanity

Now would be a great time to resign in protest.
What they just did, which was, let me remind you, posting screencaps of a woman’s rape that was uploaded to youtube, that goes so far beyond the pale of human decency….
I cannot believe they thought this was okay simply because they hid the...
“We do not do trigger warnings. Ever. As a rule. I don’t believe in them, period.”
– Jessica Coen, Editor in Chief of Jezebel.
Trigger warnings are icky! Unlike photos of women being raped, of course. Those are totally OK and can actually drive your entire “feminist light” business model.
I might have to re-write my motto: My feminism will be rape culture friendly! And you know,...

the war between whether people should eat animals or not is just stupid and distracting when we factor in how our food in general is produced. Yes, our food system treats animals like crap and is environmentally unhealthy, but the way the majority of fruits and vegetables are produced is no better. Soil is depleted of its nutrients, diverse land is destroyed...

This is the Domestic Violence Power and Control Wheel. Related trigger warnings apply (and note that it is based specifically on male/female relationships where the man is the abuser).
Note the following points included on the wheel:
-Displaying weapons
-Destruction of (victim’s) property
-Humiliation (of victim)
-Monitoring and controlling the victim

kfadich:
Stop assuming pregnant persons were not careful when they had the sex that got them pregnant. A persons sex life is no business of strangers.
Stop attempting to shame uterus bearers into thinking that the only purpose for sex is procreation. People have sex for a number of reasons… none of them are the business of strangers.
Stop telling people that you don’t know what to do...
