close all prisons and release inmates, make hospitals free, and open US borders completely

Also a valid assumption. I think it’s her age that made me go for the continence reason.

I’m currently studying my post-grad in continence management, and for a second I really thought that Jane Fonda’s pad link was going to be for some sort of adult continence product she was advertising.

Jezebel, What Are You Doing? Days of silence on the topic, and then what comes forth is not actually the thinkpiece on sexual coercion and the “ways consent can feel blurring”, on how predators purposefully use bullshit excuses about “miscommunication” to get away with it, about how Ansari is more representative of…

Intermittent fasting is definitely a thing. Whether it’s a thing beyond a potentially disordered attempt at weight loss is another question, but it’s definitely a thing.

I did this about 10 years ago. Living in an apartment complex and noticed some shady goings on with the people across the courtyard. Kids in and out but never for long and the kids looked unclean and hungry. Went on for awhile and finally I needed to do something. Called the police. The place got raided. Turned out…

Sometimes people do experience orgasm when they are raped. It is a physiological reaction. Many survivors feel ashamed and conflicted if they experience this, and many preparators use this to manipulate and further abuse their victims. It is still rape.

Actually (and I’m not defending all these assholes who signed the letter) sometimes women orgasm while raped. It is a thing that can happen. It’s basically your body reacting while you’re dissociating (from what I’ve read). It’s incredibly traumatizing for women who experience it because they are already told that it…

Even if the CoS is exploiting the women that doesn’t mean that Haggis didn’t assault them.

The thing is, the CoS does keep records of anything and everything that their members talk about during auditing. So, the CoS could be doing some serious bullshit here, but it doesn’t make the accusations untrue.

I believe the CoS would do this, absolutely.

Women CAN orgasm during rape, it has nothing to do with consent, it’s just a biological reaction to stimulation that has nothing to do with a person’s frame of mind.

Absolutely. If anything it’s the body’s coping mechanism in a violation. It’s traumatic psychologically on the victim not something they enjoy whether they physically orgasm or not. I mean, men can be raped and forced to have an erection. It happens. It doesn’t negate the lack of consent.

Not excusing anything, but in fact, some women actually have. It’s underreported because, of course, idiots think it really wasn’t rape if she had orgasm.

The thing is they’re claiming the Church is behind the release but they talk about it being extracted from the guy during that e-testing nonsense. So effectively it could be that the allegations are true but they’re using the bad image of the church as smearing by association themselves.

Anyone heard of Scientologists actually doing this as a smear before though? I know they’ve used general tactics of labeling them malcontents, using family members still in the cult to shame them publicly, and have attacked their credibility so I can see this would be something they’d at least theoretically do...

I’m guessing you’re joking for the punch line, but women can and do orgasm during rape. It’s a sheer biological response and in no way takes away from the violation. In fact, I’ve heard it only adds to it as it’s another facet of their body they are unable to control during the rape. They feel their own bodies are…

STOP victims particularly children, male rape victims and adolescents have been known to feel immense shame because their bodies orgasmed. They hate themselves, feel dirty and like their body betrayed them. Bodies can react without cognitive input. It does not mean it wasn’t rape. It does not mean the victim enjoyed…

What this story clearly illustrates is that child predators do not operate in a bubble or in the shadows. Far, far, FAR too often they are enabled by the silence of other adults around and it goes on in plain view - ALL. THE. TIME.

I have the flu, but my fever broke. I’m getting better, and right now that feels huge.
