TRIGGER WARNING: RAPE
Anonymous asked: I have a friend who studies law and we got in an argument regarding rape the other day. He claimed that most cases never get to court because they find out that the woman exaggerated or made it up (or something like that, I’m not good with the legal terms he used). Could this really be the case? I haven’t found any statistics, but since reporting a rape isn’t...
Anonymous asked: I remember my 7th grade science teacher (and science teachers also taught health at my school) ended one class by saying, "And guys, you always have to be careful around girls, because if they want to get you in trouble, they can. All they have to do is say you raped them, and it's their word against you. And they will always win, sure it's really messed up, but they will." I...

morninggloria:
Not to toot my own horn, but I think this is important for people to know.
The Susan G Komen foundation has announced they’ll cease providing grants to Planned Parenthood, which uses the funds to provide mammograms to low income women. Komen claims that they’ve ceased funding because PP is under investigation by Congress, but the reality is the new VP of Policy is rabidly...

Anonymous asked: How do I make someone unfollow me? Like block them on Facebook?
Anonymous asked: How does one report to tumblr?
Please Read and Share →
This is a tumblr called “Forbidden Shares.” If you’ve ever tagged anything “don’t reblog,” chances are they will eventually reblog that post, if they haven’t done so already. They claim that they don’t mean to offend, but I personally find the idea of reblogging something that the OP explicitly asked not to reblog very offensive. Their ask is not...
Glamour asks men to make resolutions for women →
Glamour recently asked a bunch of guys what resolutions they wish women would make? Why? They didn’t say, but I’m guessing because this is what masquerades as journalism. Here are the translations of these resolutions:
1. “I’d like it if in 2012, women would stop chatting on the phone, checking their teeth in the rearview mirror, flipping their hair and drinking coffee—all while...

Anonymous asked: How often do you get questions like that? (Asking why you use the word bitch)? Have you ever considered making an FAQ for t3h n00bs?
Anonymous asked: Why is your blog called "Bitches' Guide to Etiquette" considering that bitch is often used as an offensive women applied to women or used to talk about men who "are acting like a woman"?
Anonymous asked: i already know that cheating is a big sign to walk away, but do you have any advice for when you stay with the person and work it out?
Anonymous asked: For the girl with the girlfriend problem: You said she gets embarrassed when you try to talk about it, but keep trying. Do not push her limits, but explain to her that the more practice you get, the better you are a kissing and the more comfortable you become with your kissing style because of the braces. :)
Anonymous asked: I hope you won't break down on me with homophobic response, but I have this girlfriend. We've been dating for awhile now, and I asked her if we could kiss. Not even make out, but just kiss! She gets really embarrassed and flush faced, and avoids the topic whenever I bring it up. She claims that she doesn't want to because she's afraid she'll be bad at it, because she has...

Reblogging Asks
The poster who reblogged your ask doesn’t seem to be aware that the reblog icon they’re seeing is a feature of the fantastic Missing e extension - a common mistake. But to reblog asks, all you have to do is install the extension. The feature, if it’s not turned on by default, is under the lower-case e menu on your upper-right, Post Features, Better Reblogs.
idol-hands asked: I wish many of these asks could be re-blogged.

carefullythinking asked: Bitches, I hope you don't mind, but all I want is someone to vent to. I wouldn't mind if you just deleted this or whatever; I just feel better when I know ONE place where someone will listen to me. I'm tired of people putting me down, acting like I don't know shit. I'm NOT stupid. I'm NOT useless. I'm always helping people and NEVER do I get appreciated for it....
Anonymous asked: Hey! Saw your thing about feminist arguing, and I think that using Michele Obama not being able to make policy is a terrible idea because the country elected her husband, not her, to do the policy making. She really just has an honorary title, nothing more. Instead argue that there hasn't been a woman president because society feels threatened by a woman president. Better argument overall.
Anonymous asked: I think the negative stuff the last ask was referring to is the overwhelming transphobia/cissexism, racism, etc. that many feel is present in the movement. It's the only thing I can think of.
wherehaveallthecowboysgone asked: My lovely boyfriend, who I have all sorts of debates with on feminism, sexuality and gender, has just informed me that one of his friends wishes to debate with me on feminism. I was wary of this, but prepared to be more accepting if it was about the negative things that feminists have done and the problems with the movement. Then he told me that it was because this friend didn't think we...
Anonymous asked: Hey bitches, I have a bit of a problem. So I started seeing this guy recently. Nothing too serious, but I really like him. It's everything you'd want out of a proper relationship! We get a long great, have fun together, and I can really be myself around him. The problem is... he told me the other day that he doesn't like to have sex really all that much. I do. Yikes. Cuddling and...
Anonymous asked: I'm the "Ex's current" anon. I don't want us to become really great mates (as that's the direction we're headed) only for her to find out and think I've kept things from her intentionally. I'm also a bit uncomfortable about the fact that he hasn't told her. Would it be more appropriate to approach him? Like I said, I don't want to become best...
Anonymous asked: How do I get in touch with my inner bitch?
Anonymous asked: I'm getting to be very good friend with my Ex's current. The thing is, he told me she knew we had been an Item and it became apparent very recently that she doesn't. I've never been in this situation and I don't know how, of even if, to approach her. A not eof proper etiquette in the situation from the Bitches would be immensely appreciated!
Anonymous asked: For every relationship I've been in... for at least part of each relationship, I've been The Other Woman. I am so disgusted with myself, yet I've pretty much resigned myself to believe that this is all I'm worth, so I might as well take what I can get because I'm not good enough to be anybody's priority. I know you can't really cure my self-esteem issues, but do...
Anonymous asked: Is it okay to have a romantic relationship with someone while having a twice as satisfying completely sexual relationship with someone else?
Anonymous asked: How do I tell my boyfriend who doesn't really want to share me, that I also want to have sexual relations with a girl? I don't want a relationship with someone else, and I don't want to be on the receiving end of the relations. I really just have this strong desire to perform on a girl. I know he won't be very happy with the idea, since we talked about threesomes and he said...
Anonymous asked: How do you stop thinking of the other guy as a forbidden fruit? What should you think of him as instead? (I'm the same anon, but I have the same situation)
