Abusive people don't abuse everyone. Their victims aren't always abused in the same manner either.
So just because you say someone was "always nice" to you doesn't mean they didn't seek ways to exert power and control over others.

Timara (she/her) @timaraI recently discovered this (via TikTok) and thought it was timely to share. It's a power and control wheel.11:55 PM - Mar 03, 2024![The Power and Control Wheel, which lists the different areas of each and provides examples.
1. USING COERCION AND THREATS

2. USING ECONOMIC ABUSE
Preventing her from getting or keeping a job, making her ask for money, giving her an allowance, taking her money, not letting her know about or have access to family income.
3. USING MALE PRIVILEGE
Treating her like a servant, making all the big decisions, acting like the "master of the castle," being the one to define men's and women's roles
4. USING CHILDREN
Making her feel guilty about the children, using the children to relay messages, using visitation to harass her, threatening to take the children away.

I'm gonna need some rom-coms where they are happy just as they are and don't need a s.o. and I'm gonna need some action movies where the female lead has hair that makes sense for her role and doesn't always look like she just got a $200 blowout before opening fire on the bad guys...K Thanks

It really shouldn’t be some outrageous act for a woman to walk in the woods by herself. She deserves to feel relatively safe if she knows a bit about the woods. Or a walk on deserted city streets at night. And yet here we are talking about bears and men. Women deserve to not be afraid. Makes me mad

While we're on the subject of better class of men what about all the missing Native Women, the Child Brides of the christian religions, the current rise of sexual assaults in India, the Romani child bride's and being forced to marry if your caught alone with a boy even if you weren't doing anything

AmaganQuiltsCrafts @CoffeeAndBooksTo the person who said 'women needed to find a better class of men.'

I hate it when someone gives advice they're not qualified to give. They don't have the range or the depth. They're loud and wrong and think they're just as qualified as someone with experience and expertise.

At age 12 a 45yr old neighborhood bear never sexually assaulted me.
At 13 a car full of older bears didn't follow me for a mile as I waked home carrying school books telling me how sexy I looked.
A bear has never told underage me that I had an old soul then groomed me.

I have never had to pick up my mail at my parents' house and not my mailbox because of a bear.
Bears don't cut car break lines either.

I, too, have never been followed on a dark empty highway by a truck with 3 bears who only stopped when I drove to a police station and stayed there until the police detained them.
I've never had to show a bear my driver's license to prove I was under 18 so he'd get off me and stop trying to rape me

Liz Adams @BoudI never had to take a detour then make it clear I was heading for the police department because of a bear. I never had to park illegally, close to my condo rather than walk far, from the nearest legal spot late at night, and get up early to move my car before it was ticketed, because of a bear02:45 PM - Apr 29, 2024

DO YOU KNOW WHAT A FEW GALLONS OF ACETONE DO TO A FIBERGLASS CAR? Think Wicked Witch and water in Wizard of Oz. No one got hurt...just lost their car. Moral of the story....don't be a dick..don't prey on women.

#ProjectPetty update:
I got a manilla envelope out, filled it with 1/2 of blank paper, sealed it, left it on the island.
There are two sticky notes on it. One has the address of our local FBI field office and the other has a checklist of items inside.

Controversial opinion consider the battle of over raisins here (which I love, all dried fruits actually) but I hate marmalade. I don't get it, it has to much texture, the flavour is funky, it doesn't schmear well...just why?
