"The problem with depicting abusers as full-time monsters is that when a person is actually experiencing abuse in their own life, they'll think 'oh but he's the sweetest guy most of the time so he can't be an abuser ' or 'but he's not ALWAYS horrible, he's usually amazing, so he's not an abuser', and they'll make the mistake of thinking they mustn't really be being abused when they actually are."

Men get judged for being 'too feminine', women get criticized for being 'too masculine'. Gender policing affects us all."

"If telling men 'don't rape' instead of telling women 'don't get raped', is like telling thieves 'don't steal' instead of home owners to 'lock your houses', why don't we hear more victims of home invasion being told 'you got what you deserved for having such a beautiful house on display for everyone to see' ???"

"Erotic role-play is a powerful sexual outlet which can orgasmically release us from the shackles of convention and normality to express a side of ourselves we otherwise would not have opportunity to convey."

"Be wary of a self-professed 'nice guy'. Anyone who is always going around saying they are 'just trying to be nice' are most often, anything but nice. -If you're truly kind and loving, you don't have to 'try'. It comes naturally."
