Leon Trotsky? What’s his Twitter handle?

Antonio Gramsci? Did he invent Instagram?

      Off topic: The term “sex pest” refers to someone who pesters for sex, i.e. persistently asks or makes advances even if the other person said they aren’t interested or are specifically averse to this person. It’s a form of badgering that is functionally aimed at wearing someone down until they consent despite not wanting to because they feel pressured or are sick of dealing with this person putting them in that position but don’t have a way to shut them out. It’s a specific group of abusive behaviors.

      A violent rapist is not a sex pest, and the type of marital rape seen in ASOIF is also closer to that than pestering. What ASOIF has is not sex pest shit, it is rape shit.

        This is not really how any British people I’ve ever known (and I’ve known a few cuz I was an exchange student for a bit) used the term and I think it originated there. So…

        That’s genius. I reasonably enjoyed the series first time round and have wanted to re-read it but I’m not sure if I want to go through all the rapey parts again.
