I'm sorry to hear that about you as well. And I agree, we probably have more in common than originally thought.

Again, if I bend over in skivvies and point at my asshole I'm not asking for rape and don't consent to anything either. But I'm still presenting an image about who I am as a person. You cannot deny that's false.

As a survivor of rape I don't think any woman is 'asking for it'. As a person who lives in the real world your actions are going to always be filtered by those around you-it's called context. While no one has the right to rape anyone, portraying yourself and highlighting your sexual organs (literally pointing to them…

I'm a straight woman so her sexual appeal is lost to me. I think it's a bit trashy to put yourself in this position. Don't get me wrong, all kinds of people have sex, masturbate, etc. with whatever partner of their choosing and I'm not here to rain on that parade. She willingly posed with her fingers directing you to…

So you conflate my argument that disliking you photographing yourself pointing to your vagina (in what another poster had said was a porno) with being a crazy, Obama-hating, woman-shaming, racist uncle? Ok then... You seem super, well balanced :D.

I'm a straight woman so it doesn't confuse me in the slightest. But if you don't want to end up as the poster child for sluttish behavior, don't degrade yourself. Just like if you don't want to end up on people of Wal-Mart, don't dress all crazy. If you're totally cool with it then by all means, carry on. Don't be…

Yep!! Raise your daughters to be class acts like this...! Then be surprised when they're treated like pieces of meat.

Yep. She wasn't raped. It was implied that she reduced herself to sex because of the focus she put on her vaginal area and the idiots who saw a joke made fun of that. She looks trashy and the people who made the joke are even worse.

Touche. I misread your argument and became defensive because on this thread I simply asked for others to not let emotions dictate their opinions. And guess what? I failed to do that in my reply to you. My apologies for the misunderstanding.

You said 'That's cute!' which is condescension if I've ever 'read' it online before. I said let's compare anecdotes which you might have perceived as judgmental and nasty. I made an assertion and you came at me with your assertions while insulting my intelligence.

To be 'that person'... she was deliberately pointing at her vagina in a come hither and 'I want to f*ck you' attitude. It's disgusting because that trope is all too often trotted out but I think she's a bit reckless for posing like this to begin with and whoever uploaded it is even worse.

No. I said we had one person's word. Although another commenter linked me to a story in which the same accused boy is having another family take legal action against him.

Haha! You're condescending. And predictably probably passing on your attitude to your children to mock and be rude to any individual who doesn't think exactly like them. Way to go... parent.

Let's refute your anecdote with my anecdote!! That'll sure solve the problem.

Actually, the linked article only quotes the father's words about it. You are showing me evidence of otherwise so I concede there is more to this story than the Jezebel linked article showed. No, that's not what I said. I said the linked article with the buzzword of bully (argue against it all you like, but it is a…

I don't remember much about being five but I do remember thinking if my friend stapled my finger it wouldn't hurt (which holy shit it did!) and a couple of the boys chasing me around and pulling my hair. Oh and falling off of the monkey bars and having the wind knocked out of me. Five year olds aren't too reliable…

No. Not for emergency restraining orders as someone else upthread has stated.

These are playgrounds. Playgrounds are designed to give the maximum amount of watchfulness while allowing kids to have fun. This isn't a case of 30 kids in your home shutting doors and running upstairs/downstairs where you had to chase them all. I think a swift kick to the head would leave any child on the ground to…

No, you have one account in which a father alleges that several other students complained. You do not have evidence to support that claim.

That sounds horrendous and while I'm sorry your daughter had to go through that, I believe that your overwhelming support and seeking out justice for their shitty behavior gave her more positive attributes and attitudes in spite of everything. Of course we don't want people we love to go through things like that to…
