Ok I’m actually quite shocked with the fact that this great insult to a whole nation hasn’t been brought to people’s attention. Miley Cyrus, during a performance in Nuevo León, Monterrey, publicly twerked and used the Mexican flag in a completely grotesque way. I’ve never been a big fan of Miley but never judged the decisions she took, but she completely dishonored one of the most powerful symbols used to represent my country. She now faces a possible fine or a minimum 36 hour arrest for the public humiliation made on that stage. Regardless of who you are or how much money you make, nothing will ever give you the right to mock people by disgracing the country they belong to. Have some respect.

found this gem in the 1996 Cornell Women’s Handbook. it’s what to say when a guy tries to get out of using a condom

[daichisthickthighs-deactivated2]

i just love the sassy ones

‘it doesn’t feel good’ ‘neither does sleeping alone bitch’ ‘maybe u should try the next size down lol’

[roboticutie]

‘it spoils the mood’ ‘so does your attitude’

[companionsofusall]

[id: page in a book that shows, “Condom Comebacks.” It lists excuses people use to not wear a condom and good comebacks for it.

 Excuse: Doesn’t feel good.  Comebacks:

Neither does sleeping alone

Maybe you should try the next size down

If you’re uncomfortable using condoms then let’s try something other than intercourse

Excuse: It spoils the mood Comebacks:

The mood will come back

So does your attitude

Excuse: It takes too long Comebacks: 

Then you need practice and there’s no time like the present

Let me help you put it on.

A condom can make sex last longer

We have all night. What’s the rush?

It’s worth the wait

Excuse: You won’t catch anything from me Comebacks:

I know I won’t, because either we use a condom or we aren’t having sex.

Yes, but you might catch something from me.

Excuse: Just this once it won’t matter Comebacks:

Then just this once I’ll have to say, ‘No.’

It only takes once.

Why for example, does a twenty-two-year-old man pursue a sixteen-year-old adolescent? Because he is stimulated by her? Obviously not. They are at completely different developmental points in life with a dramatic imbalance in their levels of knowledge and experience. He is attracted to power and seeks a partner who will look up to him with awe and allow him to lead her. Of course, he usually tells her the opposite, insisting that he wants to be with her because of how unusually mature and sophisticated she is for her age. He may even compliment her on her sexual prowess and say how much power she has over him, setting up the young victim so that she won’t recognize what is happening to her. Even without a chronological age difference, some abusive men are drawn to women who have less life experience, knowledge, or self-confidence, and who will look up to the man as a teacher or mentor.
