Here is a quick note on rape and physiological arousal, particularly as it pertains to male victims of rape.

MY ANECDATA DONT WANT NONE IF YOU GOT FACTS HON

She Who Stays Woke, Kara Brown, Our Lady Of Killing It. Teller of Truths and Dispeller of Lies, Ruth Shader Ginsburg, Presider of Shade Court. (h/t to Bears for that last one).

I'm going to be blunt.

These people seem to be doing this in retaliation against our sister site Jezebel, but you guys are the ones suffering. Sorry about that.

Right. Heterosexual, cisgendered, happily married man in his 30's who definitely felt the, "Every girl's friend, no girl's boyfriend," shit in high school/college.

You know what, I have a question, Dr. Nerdlove. So many of these questions that you address boil down basically to "I treat women like objects, but they don't react like objects. Why?" That is to say, so many of your answers end up needing to include baseline information like "He's not your competition because this…

What I find so scary about this incident and Elliot's connection to these PUA groups is that what he did is the logical end point of the Nice Guy™ ethos. Nice Guys™ go through life with this sense that their love is unrequited and that they are being under-appreciated, all while never actually indicating to the object…

Over and over again, I've seen commenters, bloggers and even a few media types make comments about how much 'better' it would have been if Rodgers had just 'had sex with hookers'. As a sex worker, I can't tell you how appalled this makes me. Please, stop wishing more of these monsters on us. We already deal with (and…

What the hell is your problem?

Exactly. If a white guy identifies as a black man, the first thing he does is starts taking black people hormones and then...

What an embarrassment. Didn't Sam even stop to think of how this would affect the straight, white bloggers of America?

I said it to him and I'll say it again to you: If at any point you feel like the person may be too drunk to give consent—even after you have asked and received it—just stop. Or don't have sex when alcohol is involved in the first place. You guys are making this way more difficult than it needs to be and if you really…

Exactly. This whole thing is basically just a massive derail which completely obscures the main point of discussion, which is that authors should stop writing about rape as seduction. I'm done with this thread.

If you feel that you are going to have an issue making the right decision then don't have drunk sex. That's all I can tell you, dude. From what you have gone on about thus far I'd say that is probably your best bet.

Carry on, my wayward nuns. There'll be peace when you are done.

Hi, this is Roxy of WTFPlus. I have respectfully asked you guys not to write about or link to me several times, because you guys write all kinds of crappy, toxic, irresponsible, and damaging stuff about women all the time. Can you stop? Please?

Hello all. I go to Fond du Lac High School and actually did the artwork for this story. I worked very closely with Tanvi Kumar when she wrote this piece and can honestly say there is nothing she could have possibly done better. (I'd also like to give the highest praise to our wonderful instructor, Matt Smith. He…

I do not find Mia Farrow's graphic illustration of the destruction of their family due to Woody Allen cheating on her with her teenage daughter to be as shocking as the actual destruction of their family due to Woody Allen cheating on her with her teenage daughter.
