hate to say it, but part of ending the stigma around sexual assault means not assuming every woman blames herself. yes, female socialization encourages it, but that doesn’t make it a given, and the goal of all of these campaigns is to eventually diminish the proportion of women who do blame themselves. it is entirely possible, and increasingly common, for women to experience sexual assault and not feel shame or guilt, which we should be happy about. but instead, there are only so many times you can hear “you know it’s not your fault, right?” before it sounds like “it was your fault”. and there’s only so many times you can hear “don’t blame yourself” before it sounds like “you should blame yourself”. because it feels good to say, doesn’t it? sure, you don’t believe she’s guilty, but you do believe she should feel guilty, so that you can disabuse her of the notion. just something to consider.

((Can-They-Kill-Macbeth-themed murder mystery party where the victim is Macbeth and you have to narrow down which of the guests feasibly could kill him under the "no man of woman born" prophecy as well as find out who smuggled a piece of Birnam wood into the venue. My brain is huge))

i deserve a medal for not publicly clowning on people who put hate opinions in character and ship tags. maybe im just from 2010s fandom but i just think its like... basic manners that you dont put your posts about how you don't like [x] in the #[x] tag? and by extension there is a part of me that wants to clown on people when i see them doing this. i refrain because i know i should be the bigger person and just block and move on but god DAMN i deserve a treat for it sometimes

ok but you know what's kinda funny??
this past week and then again when i started the episode i was thinking how there hasn't really been much interaction between mawin and tinh? like, we're in episode 8 already and i still don't feel like tinh likes mawin back (in a crush sort of way)?
and the funny thing is that roughly halfway through the episode i was contemplating this and then went "ok but what if. and hear me out. mawin and ton lmaooo". bc they've been interacting quite a bit recently, you know? and i was just mostly thinking that as a joke
AND THEN. IN PART 4. MAWIN AND TON?? HELLO?? MAWIN GETTING STOOD UP BY TINH?? TON RUNNING INTO MAWIN AND HANDING HIM THE FLOWERS???? HELLO?????????
i thought i was joking but. am i onto something here?????????? help????????????

Just got drinks (as a group) with a man who, upon finding out I am gay, said "Huh. You know, I had a sexuality crisis when I was younger but I was paranoid about stds because it was the 90s so to test the water so to speak I scheduled my first prostate exam."
I said "So what was the concensus?" and he said "Oh it went fine."
