I wish there were some better charge for crimes like this than "assault." Something like, "Being a drunken dumbass."

She should go get two doses of Plan B - one to take right away, and one to save for the next time this happens.

ridia commented on Frat Brothers Raise Money To Cover Trans Member's Top Surgery After Insurance Company Denies His Claim.
@1, insurance does often cover medical needs that are not necessarily defects, such as pregnancy and childbirth.
@10, there's a big difference between female parts on a happy woman and female parts on an unhappy man.

Ugh, this guy is also probably one of those weirdos who thinks women in labor shouldn't get painkillers because God said they should suffer.

Hey chemists, you need to come up with a different name for hydrophobic molecules. The alkanes are complaining that they're not afraid of water, they just think it's against God's plan.

It could be a regular old assault, not domestic violence. Or it could be that the author is a bi woman, and was in a relationship with this man before and is now in a relationship with a woman. Or maybe some other situation entirely. Whatever the details, the guy sounds like scum and I hope he heeds the restraining order.

1. Don't wear your hair in a ponytail, because rapists like to grab ponytails. Oh, and don't do braids, either. Actually, long loose hair can also be a good rapist handhold. Or medium or short hair. Fuck it, shave your head bald, because if you have any hair at all you're just asking for a rapist to grab it.
2. Rapists choose women with clothing that can be removed quickly. So, wear something that can't be just yanked off, like overalls. Oh wait, rapists carry knives that they can use to cut the straps on overalls, so never mind. Wear really tough clothing, and lots of layers. Perhaps some chainmail. Oh, and as a last layer of defense, wear a chastity belt. To keep your rapist from stealing the key to your chastity belt entrust it to your husband, or to your father if you are unwed.
3. Most rapes happen in the morning, between 5:30 AM and 9 AM. Try to avoid being outside during that time period. If you have to go to work, you should talk to you boss about letting you come to work later so that you aren't commuting during Rapist Time. But make sure you leave work before 4 PM, because from 4 to 10 PM is the other time when the most rapes happen. Also, the other times when rapes happen are between 9 AM and 4 PM, and from 10 PM to 5:30 AM.
I'm sharing this because it is important information that every woman should know! You need to follow these rules to stay safe! If you're not following these rules, don't be surprised if something horrible happens to you.
