Oh, come on - making a sweeping, generalizing, blanket statement about groups of people is pretty foolish. I suppose some people of my generation - the Baby Boomers - can be narrow-minded - just like people of ANY generation - but to declare that all people from a particular generation behave in a certain way is…

Now, just because some people older than you have not treated you well doesn't mean all older people are like that. And your insinuation that all adults older than you are mean-spirited and narrow-minded makes *you* seem a bit narrow-minded.

Hee, hee! :)

Totally asinine.

The statistics you quoted just made my head spin - technical jargon is just not my thing. I suppose there are some women who engage in this behavior, under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, particularly crystal meth (which is known to kick off violent, sexually-charged behavior); however, this must be pretty…

True.

Thank you - so well-said. As a shy teenage girl, I was like this. And as for women being either "serious" or "non-serious", we are a blend of both.

I agree about the Reese's eggs (although I'm not sure about a gooey, microwaved version). I am literally sickened by the Cadbury eggs and Peeps - those things are grotesque.

I see what you mean, and I agree. Well-said.

Very well-said, and not rambling at all. I admire your compassion and sense of justice - and I completely agree that compassion and justice are meant for all.

Ok.

All of us rape survivors know the fear and trauma of that terrible experience.

Understood! :)

Agreed. Betsey Johnson is an exceptionally talented designer. I have two dresses designed by her, which my mother had bought for me; they are lovely - their design is simple, yet elegant, feminine, and very pretty.

Re: your screen name - Yes, I do realize "dancing horses" is in reference to that nitwit Ann Romney...But I do love horses, too!

I've always admired Willie Nelson, and after reading this article, I admire him even more!

I do understand what you mean. Of course, when people are either intoxicated or high, they are not capable of consenting to anything - which is why it's horrible - and illegal - when the aggressors in this type of situation continues to escalate their obnoxious behavior. And sure, most people have experienced the…

You are very welcome. I wish you well.

Yes, it's almost surreal when encountering - and trying to reason with - folks who are either deeply entrenched in their misogyny, or in complete denial about the very real damage caused by misogyny, or those who KNOW misogyny is damaging and don't care. It's really draining to try to reason with those who don't wish…

I do understand you're point of view, and certainly I agree that everyone's right to consent should be valid.
