A Modern Sexual-Assault Tale
Man: Hello, I'd like to report a mugging.
Officer: A mugging, eh? Where did it take place?
Man: I was walking by 21st and Dundritch Street and a man pulled out a gun and said, "Give me all your money."
Officer: And did you?
Man: Yes, I co-operated.
Officer: So you willingly gave the man your money without fighting back, calling for help or trying to escape?
Man: Well, yes, but I was terrified. I thought he was going to kill me!
Officer: Mmm. But you did co-operate with him. And I've been informed that you're quite a philanthropist, too.
Man: I give to charity, yes.
Officer: So you like to give money away. You make a habit of giving money away.
Man: What does that have to do with this situation?
Officer: You knowingly walked down Dundritch Street in your suit when everyone knows you like to give away money, and then you didn't fight back. It sounds like you gave money to someone, but now you're having after-donation regret. Tell me, do you really want to ruin his life because of your mistake?
Man: This is ridiculous!
Officer: This is a rape analogy. This is what women face every single day when they try to bring their rapists to justice.
Man: Fuck the patriarchy.
Officer: Word.

2. No pathetic body image references or stereotypical fat jokes (even from Melissa McCarthy who stars in that hideous fat bashing show that I dont even recall the...

Here's a quick way to check if you have the right...

Ask yourself “Is it my body?”
If the answer was no, then surprise! You don’t have the right.
That. Is by far the BEST thing I have ever heard/seen anyone say about the right to get an abortion.

I AM SO HUNGRY
I plan on going home and stuffing myself with toasted Turkish bread, hommus, avocado with lemon juice and sliced tomato with lots of sea salt and pepper. And wine. Bliss.

One day… I think the black cabinets and bold pink make it much less twee. Yeah? Yeah.
