June 1987, Madonna was rushed to the Cedars Sinai hospital for an X-ray after her then-husband—Sean Penn hit her across the head with a baseball bat. At the time, they had been having a heart-to-heart talk about reconciling.

Madonna did not make an official complaint because Penn was about to serve a short jail term for attacking a film extra and violating the probation he’d been given for punching a fan. It was a decision she would come to regret. In the late afternoon of December 28, 1988, Penn scaled the wall surrounding the Malibu house and found Madonna alone in the master bedroom.

According to a report filed by Madonna with the Malibu sheriff’s office, the two began to quarrel. Penn told her he owned her “lock, stock and barrel”. When she told him she was leaving the house, he tried to bind her hands with an electric cord. Screaming and afraid, Madonna fled from the bedroom. Penn chased her into the living room, caught her and bound her to a chair with heavy twine. Then he threatened to shave her hair. Penn was “drinking liquor straight from the bottle” and the abuse went on for nine hours, during which he smacked and forced Madonna to perform a “degrading sex act” on him.

He went out to buy more alcohol, leaving Madonna bound and gagged. Some hours later, he returned and continued his attacks, then finally untied her. Madonna then fled the house and ran to her car. Penn ran after her and was banging on the windows of her Thunderbird while she spoke to police on her mobile phone. Fifteen minutes later, she staggered into the sheriff’s office.

Wow. I had no idea this had ever happened. Makes me look at Sean Penn a lot differently, even if he’s a more stable less ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING person now…

Friendly reminder that Sean Penn and other abusive white celebrities are not demonized the way that Chris Brown is and when Rihanna said she still loved Chris Brown people were ready to hang her. But Madonna gets all the sympathy in the world.
#double standard

The bold.

This is realllllllllly weird lmao

This is really NORMAL.
Except we never see it-so it is terrifying and uncomfortable when it happens.
(Mostly because people would laugh or be unkind)

I own a sex shop. Once a woman bled on our chair during an interview. She was horrified and felt ashamed because it was in some way unprofessional. We weren’t bothered. We said ‘what better place to work on being ok with your body than at a feminist sex shop?’
Bleeding is normal and dealing with it is one of the most pervasive ways women are complicit in their silence.

Some men bleed too. How would you react to that? For many men who are Trans the act of bleeding is a security threat.

Fuck off with your lolz.

Reblogging again for above commentary ^^^^^

So happy that the above commentor included trans* men.

The new Lara Croft looks ugly as shit, why did they do that?

They wanted to make her less of a sex symbol

booooooooooooooooo new laura croft sucks

Making someone less of a sex symbol is beyond what they did. She looks like a slender beat up Rosie O’Donnel 

are you serious, she’s hot as fuck

She got dirty and roughed up from adventuring and tomb raiding? NOOOO she needs to stay clean and sexy gfdHDSFHFDGHDSUfdniugDFG <sarcasm>

I actually think the newest Lara is pretty…?

They made her realistic. Normal human proportions as opposed to having two balloons in her vest that would get hella painful when she’s trying to do something like, say, tombraiding. Trust me - this is a vast improvement.

Not to mention they also ran tests on how big they could make her boobs before men started looking at them first and not her eyes. I think it’s amazing.

BELIEVABLE FEMALE CHARACTERS AHHHH GOD WHY WHY EvURY1 no gurl no play game why need this want bewb now.

No no no no. The newest one is the best of them all. She isn’t over sexualized. I played the game and within minutes I fell in love with her. This new Lara starts off as just this archaeologist with some survival training. Throughout the game she becomes this badass and full of confidence through all the trials she had to face.

i don’t think i’ve ever agreed with anything more than what this man is saying

watch this. seriously

yes yes yes yes yes

this is amazing

this guy is so sick 

I needed this right now. Anyone taking finals needs this right now.

This is a lesson that I’m still trying to learn. I’m better than I was in high school, but sometimes I still fall into this trap even when I try not to. 

This is glorious spoken word and it’s an incredibly important message. 

My professor played this is class the other day. It was very powerful.

ALYSSA. LOOK.  THIS IS IT.

this made me have an existential crisis (which happens multiple times in a week anyway but still)
