Ok bear with me, this post is made with 100% respectful eyes. You know that subset of Pride and Prejudice girlies whose motto is the most attractive thing a woman can do is wear less clothes and the most attractive thing a man can do is wear more? Well… #dimension20 #titantakedown

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.
