I'm thinking about all the reports of her being a bitch back then and wondering how much of that was perception because she wasn't here for certain types of attention.

we can literally never win. as i said below, we're taught it's up to us to protect ourselves. but if they don't like how we protect ourselves then we're doing it the wrong way and we're the problem. and then if something happens anyway then it's bc we didn't do enough to prevent it from happening. growing up as a girl is traumatizing.

Sorry to interrupt a serious thread with this, bc obviously I completely agree but where do you get your taskmaster gifs from? I've tried normal Google searches but that can't be all there is out there, there must be a better way lol

lol I usually google

Best way for me to find something I'm looking for is I'll type the show/name and emotion like "Taskmaster angry gif" or "Greg Davies mad gif" and that will usually turn up enough results for me that I'm able to find what I'm looking for. It's not perfect and I've been meaning to collect them all in one place on Imgur but thus far I'm too lazy for that type of organization. I hope this helps!

Too lazy for that kind of organisation is the story of my life lol. Thanks <3
If it helps you, there's a tumblr page called taskmastersource that has a good bunch of gifs

I feel like men think we should be protecting ourselves against the 'bad' men but not penalizing them, the 'good' ones by having our defenses up. Men will lecture women about how they shouldn't put themselves in dangerous situations by being alone with men and then offer to protect those same women by driving them home. Maddening.

They only think about themselves and will never care to understand that, as women, we'll never know what type of crazy we'll get from them for the most insignificant interaction.
