People LOVE doing this to WOC, especially black women. People don’t call Anne Hathaway Princess Mia. They call her by her damn name. Don’t get me started on “Precious” and “Crazy Eyes”.
Loved her - this was, outside of Nolan’s movies, the best of the Batmans
Audra McDonald, Anne Hathaway, and Raul Esparza (left to right) in Shakespeare in the Park’s 2009 production of Twelfth Night as, respectively, Olivia, Viola, and Orsino.
McDonald and Hathaway are kissing, and McDonald is holding a sword crosswise in front of all three, which Esparza is gripping the end of. He is leaning on Hathaway’s shoulder.

12th Night is my fave
[TW: Sexual Assault]
His lips crushed mine, stopping my protest. He kissed me angrily, roughly, his other hand gripping tight around the back of my neck, making escape impossible. I shoved against his chest with all my strength, but he didn’t even seem to notice. His mouth was soft, despite the anger, his lips molding to mine in a warm, unfamiliar way.
I grabbed at his face, trying to push it away, failing again. He seemed to notice this time, though, and it aggravated him. His lips forced mine open, and I could feel his hot breath in my mouth.
Acting on instinct, I let my hands drop to my side, and shut down. I opened my eyes and didn’t fight, didn’t feel… just waited for him to stop.

This is rape culture.
Young women are taught to think of this passage - which describes sexual assault - as erotic. Young men are taught to force their will on young women, regardless of any (non)verbal cues, because sex is conquest and women are objects - not something to be done between two consenting individuals because it’s pleasurable for both people.
The most frightening thing about this excerpt is that many survivors of sexual assault who have disclosed to me describe stories that sound exactly like this one.

The lines before that:
He still had my chin—his fingers holding too tight, till it hurt—and I saw the resolve form abruptly in his eyes.
“N—-” I started to object, but it was too late.
And after he assaulted her she punched him in the face but due to his “super human strength” she broke her hand, said “Don’t touche me!” and then:
“Just let me drive you home,” Jacob insisted. Unbelievably, he had the nerve to wrap his arm around my waist.
I jerked away from him.
And then:
When he got in the driver’s side, he was whistling.
AND THEN while he was driving:
“…There is so much I can give you that he can’t. I’ll bet he couldn’t even kiss you like that—-because he would hurt you. I would never, never hurt you, Bella.”
I held up my injured hand.
He sighed. “That wasn’t my fault. You should have known better.”
And then:
He grinned over at me. “You kissed me back.”
I gasped, unthinkingly balling my hands up into fists again, hissing when my broken hand reacted.
“Are you okay?” he asked.
“I did not.”
“I think I can tell the difference.”
“Obviously you can’t——that was not kissing back, that was trying to get you the hell off me, you idiot.”
He laughed a low, throaty laugh. “Touchy. Almost overly defensive, I would say.
I took a deep breath. There was no point in arguing with him; he would twist anything I said.
Then when she gets home, to where her father, Charlie, the police officer, is:
“Why did she hit you?”
“Because I kissed her,” Jacob said, unashamed.
“Good for you, kid,” Charlie congratulated him.

I didn’t read the citation first. I read the quote. I thought I was reading a woman’s account of how she was about to be raped, not a fucking passage from a romance novel.

Don’t forget the second kiss scene later on too - where Jacob manipulates Bella with threats of committing suicide to get her to submit to him:
“I don’t have to do anything deliberate—I could just do my best for my pack and let what happens happen.” He shrugged. “If you could convince me you really did want me to come back—more than you wanted to do the selfless thing.”
Then:
I knew he would take advantage of the situation. I expected it. I held very still my eyes closed, my fingers curled into fists at my sides- as his hands caught my face and his lips found mine with an eagerness that was not far from violence.
I could feel his anger as his mouth discovered my passive resistance. One hand moved to the nape of my neck, twisting into a fist around the roots of my hair. The other hand grabbed roughly at my shoulder, shaking me, then dragging me to him. His hand continued down my arm, finding my wrist and pulling my arm up around his neck. I left it there, my hand still tightly balled up, unsure how far I could go in my desperation to keep him alive. All the while his lips, disconcertingly soft and warm, tried to force a response out of mine.
Oh, and after she mentally breaks and kisses him back? Yeah – then we start in on the victim blaming:
It stunned me when Edward chuckled reluctantly.
“And I thought I fought dirty,” he said with grudging admiration. “He makes me look like the patron saint of ethics.” His hand brushed against the part of my cheek that was exposed. “I’m not mad at you, love. Jacob’s more cunning than I gave him credit for. I do wish you hadn’t asked him, though.”
And then:
“Why aren’t you angry with me?” I whispered. “Why don’t you hate me? Or haven’t you heard the whole story yet?”
“I think I got a fairly comprehensive look,” he said in a light, easy voice. “Jacob makes vivid mental pictures. I feel almost as bad for his pack as I do for myself. Poor Seth was getting nauseated. But Sam is making Jacob focus now.”
I closed my eyes and shook my head in agony. The sharp nylon fibers of the tent floor scraped against my skin.
“You’re only human,” he whispered, stroking my hair again.
IT’S OKAY BELLA. YOU’RE ONLY HUMAN. IT’S YOUR FAULT BUT EDWARD FUCKING FORGIVES YOU.
I have no words, NO FUCKING WORDS for how GODDAMN ANGRY these books make me.

TIP ON HOW TO GET OVER YOUR FEAR OF THE DARK:
As soon as you turn the lights off start masturbating. No monster wants to see that shit. While doing it, stare at the corner and whisper, tenderly, “this is for you”.
And then the shadows growl at you and say, “Mine. You’re all mine.”
Proceed to have a secret relationship with the monster in your closet to make the shadows jealous.
Plot Twist: The Monster wants a threesome with you and the shadows.

.__. okay. Now I’ll go work on my Thorki fic. I am so very sorry. I just had to do it. Even though it sucks…none of the images are mine. Just my stupidity is mine.
Labour unrest has spread to at least two more platinum mines after police killed 34 strikers and wounded another 78 at the Lonmin platinum mine last week.
Al Jazeera’s Haru Mutasa was in Rasimone miners from the Royal Bafokeng mine have joined thousands who are protesting at the Lonmin mine.
The striking miners say they want a pay increase and their living conditions improved.
“Right now this group seems fairly peaceful,” Mutasa reported.
“They say they will continue to strike until mine managers give them their pay increase but mine managers say this is impossible because the industry is struggling and they can’t afford the 300 per cent salary increase the strikers are demanding.”
Police have been posted nearby in case the protests become violent, but their main concern is that other mine workers across the country will strike as they have threatened. This could have a detrimental effect on the country’s economy.
Thandi Modise, premier of North West Province where the platinum mines are located, warned on Tuesday that the protests may spread further if authorities don’t deal with the massive and growing inequality gap that has many South Africans feeling they have not benefited in the 18 years since black majority rule replaced a racist white minority government.
South Africa has become the richest nation in Africa but still has more than 25 per cent unemployment - nearly 50 per cent among young people. Protests against shortages of housing, electricity and running water and poor education and health services are an almost daily affair.
That poverty is contrasted by the ostentatious lifestyles of a small elite of blacks, who have become multimillionaires, often through corruption related to government tenders.
‘Ominous development’
There are growing political implications of demands for higher wages spreading to other mines, raising fears the instability could inflame protests at more of the South African mines that provide 75 per cent of the world’s platinum.
South Africa’s miningweb.com Web site calls it “a possibly ominous development” that could have a “devastating effect on the South African economy as a whole with metals and minerals sales providing such a large part of the country’s export income”.
South African President Jacob Zuma traveled to the troubled Lonmin mine on Wednesday after striking miners there heckled a committee of government ministers sent to help the grieving community with identification of bodies of slain miners, burial arrangements and bereavement counseling.
Platinum mines, already hit by low world prices and flagging demand, especially from vehicle makers who use the metal to control carbon emissions, may not be in a financial position to seriously consider the demands, some industry analysts say.
The shutdown at London-registered Lonmin PLC mine at Marikana where the shootings occurred has cost hundreds of millions of dollars in share value.
The company said on Tuesday it may have to renegotiate with bankers debt payments that are due on September 30. Lonmin also said it will be unable to meet its annual target production of 750,000 ounces.
