Jesus Tap-dancing Christ, how I loathe rape apologists.

Do you want to know who bears 100% of the responsibility when a woman is raped? I’ll give you a hint: it’s not the woman. I don’t care how they dressed or how “arousing” they are.

Fuck off with this victim blaming.

What in the world does 'in the cleft stick' mean?!?
