is it weird that I don't really care about any of this, I'm going to get an id bracelet, that donates my body to science. The funeral business is such an extortionist industry, I would hate for my loved ones to be burdened with such an unnecessary expense.

"But I did realize one thing: these "social experiment" clips have to stop before someone gets hurt."

Really, just to be humble. Not a pushover, humble.

Also, I just want to say that I'm not sure how this is more morally wrong than anything else. It's not directed at you, but everyone else commenting on this thread. Are all of these people calling out their friends and folks as scum because they refuse to date a dude who's 5'2 or just brunettes? Or because they…

I have a serious, long term problem. I'm desperate for a solution. I am not sexually attracted to my husband in the slightest.

Geek Love needs to be an HBO miniseries directed by Guillermo del Toro.

Geek Love was great! It had that outlandish plot but never got overly gimmicky; it was touching and funny and her brother was SUCH a dick.

Celebrity Edition!

ASK. Seriously, if you're in support of same-sex marriage and you're planning a hetero wedding, ask if they provide the same services to LGBTQ couples. If they don't, move on.

To be fair, most gay couples don't have the same sort of wholesome, Christian values that Elvis and his 14 year old girlfriend did.

How would they like an image of a dead, bloodied woman and a twisted coathanger on the floor next to that one, with the phrase, "When abortion was not safe, legal and accessible, women died. Save women's lives - protect choice."

I didn't make my point. My point is, that outside of this escorting situation, I think sending nusdes is more about poor cognition and immaturity than self respect. I don't think the sex you engage in is any measure of sex respect except for when you're specifically having sex to feel better about your lack of…

I wasn't real clear in my first post. I wanted to ask why you conflate self respect and modesty.

Oh, diddums, just no. You have vomited out hundreds of words attacking victims, their parents, and their fault. Your sarcastic rejoinder that, "durr, so-RRY, I didn't know I had to——" is idiotic, because in my replies I have offered numerous options for blaming predators. You could, for example, ask what…

I frequented Whisper for a while because I liked the spirit of the site. I didn't immediately realize it caters to the 18-24 demographic. There's also a lot of teenagers on there. Seriously, less than 20% of the users appear to be over the age of 25.

I have a wild reckless crazy idea: how about how about we blame preying on kids on the Predators doing the preying? How about we BLAME THEIR parents? How about we blame the bystanders who didn't do shit? How about we blame the web sites that don't enforce their ToS? How about we blame the men who refuse to…

You're victim blaming. You see sexual assault not as the act of these rapists, but as a failure on the part of the victims——-and her parents, which is an epic stretch. You should be criticizing these predators but instead you rather strenuously avoid them. Why is that?

Your experience as a music teacher lends you exactly no authority to speak here, which would be why your conclusions are wrong. And, let's be honest, pretty fucked up, to boot. I've conducted parent training and have worked with kids for several years (in a treatment setting), and can say that the research says that…

Yeah? In what capacity have you worked with them? Because claiming that parents have control over their adolescent of any age (really, any age after 10) such that their child's fuckups are all their fault isn't just short-sighted, overly broad, and just plain dumb, it also ignores the relevant research in child mental…
