Elected officials currently in office applying the same “logic” about “real rape” that I’m more used to seeing from YouTube trolls.

TRIGGER WARNING for discussion of sexism and rape culture specifically.
I’m making this because often when I’m arguing or debating with people online, it’s frustrating to dig around for good links, make sure they are as good as I remember or as people say, and do it in…
WatchI really hate how the girl who gets breast implants says she can “go out and do normal things and buy normal things with my friends like shop at victoria’s secret” What exactly is normal?
