Horrific. Anything less than consent is rape.

The first image is Thea Wellband, who plays the teenage rape victim in Unwatchable.

The second image is Rose, nine years old, who was raped so violently her hips are permanently damaged.

Well...the first statement is far from a guarantee. But fair point.

5 Stupid, Unfair and Sexist Things Expected of Men

“But men undoubtedly get screwed up by this stuff, too. Not screwed up as badly as women, to be sure...  but not trivially, either.”

And the follow up piece.

Women don’t owe you anything.

Not a hello.

Not a conversation.

Not a thank you (in response to your compliment harassment).

Paraphrasing Dave Chappelle, "crazy" is just shorthand for "I don't understand this person." This is a choice excerpt, asterisks added by me for emphasis. "More often than not, I suspect, most men don’t realize what we’re saying when we call a woman crazy. Not only does it stigmatize people who have legitimate mental health issues, but it tells women that they don’t understand their own emotions, that their very real concerns and issues are secondary to men’s comfort. ***And it absolves men from having to take responsibility for how we make others feel.*** "

Terry Crews: Modern Day Masculinity Can Be as Damaging as the Taliban

While you probably know Terry Crews from Brooklyn 99, Everybody Hates Chris or his time playing in the NFL, you might be less familiar with his work as one of the most progressive and thoughtful voices in gender criticism. The actor--who just published the book Manhood: How to Be A Better Man - Or Just Live With One--recently took part in the What Makes A Man 2014: Maps to Manhood conference and sat down with Elamin Abdelmahmoud to discuss feminism, consent and what it means to "be a man" today.

Man Stabbed After Attempting To Protect His Girlfriend From Tenderloin Catcaller

Still think catcalling's an innocent pursuit?

This myth—that feminine dress is primarily designed to attract male attention—exists for a single reason: It enables the societal-wide sexualization of women. After all, if we believe that she wore a pretty dress today because she is trying to pique men’s interests, then suddenly catcalls, sexual innuendos and ogling seem legitimate (because she was essentially “asking for” that attention). And if she says that she is not interested in a man’s sexual advances, well then she must be sending “mixed messages,” because she was clearly trying to “tempt” or “tease” him given the way she was dressed.

Empowering Femininity

When you notice beliefs (in yourself or in others) that have no *clear* empirical evidence for them, always ask yourself, whose interests are being served?
