You construct your own sentences, correct? Then yeah, I will hold you responsible for the words that you say. If you check the other comments on this article you will see that it's really not that complicated of a word to understand.
I understand this. I was making a point about your unnecessary use of redundant qualifiers. Rape is always violent and forced by the nature of it being rape. Unnecessary and redundant qualifiers make it seem like you're considering only rape plus physical assault to be rape. Especially when you're trying to parse what…
Laws aren't meant to "fight against" "violent rapists" they're meant to punish rapists. Rape doesn't have to be "violent" to be rape. Rapists don't have to be "violent" to be rapists. Coercing someone into having sex with you is rape, and having sex with someone who is unable to consent to sex for any reason is rape.…
Yeah, I'm getting to the point in reading these comments where those are my thoughts exactly. Some people like their hair short, some people like it long. I've dyed my hair every color had it short (not a pixie though) and I've had it pretty long. I wear my hair long because I like it that way, not because I'm scared…
This comment is absolutely spot-on.
MTE. I don't understand how so many people are willing to agree that you can consent to give up your right to consent. Unless the waiver 100% spelled out "you will be touched in a sexual manner by a random, half-naked stranger" then you never consented to that happening and you never even received adequate warning.…
"concerned about the implications of a hyper-sexualized environment"
EXACTLY what I came to the comments to say. That's completely the vibe that I got from reading that letter.
Yes, that is insulting/annoying. I've had people say stupid shit about my small feet as well. But that DOES NOT, in any way, make the story you commented on any less terrible nor at all analogous to your experience.
I knew someone was going to make this statement. Yeah, I said England to mirror the term "English restraint". SIGH.
"which is waiting with proper English restraint until Jan. 5, 2014 to premiere."
::sigh::
Oh please. For some people it's not. Lots of people explained this already. I've had 16 years since I was physically capable of getting pregnant to decide what I would do if I had an unwanted pregnancy. If I got pregnant tomorrow it would absolutely be a no-brainer that I would have an abortion. And why would…
For serious. I can't believe that someone who came into this thread and vocally judging everyone who was open and honest about their abortions is complaining about the resulting "hostility". You get what you give, buddy.
No, the conservative myth is that a woman WILL feel guilt and suffer from mental illness because she chose to have an abortion. It's just as false as saying that women who have had abortions are more likely to get breast cancer. It's a falsehood that is meant to misinform and coerce women who are considering abortions…
Here's a great tumblr post with links that explain the various abortion procedures.
Then you should have simply accepted that your assumptions were wrong instead of coming in here and telling women they're callous. Not only did you not do that, but in the same post you're once again judging people's reactions to their own abortions. Way to go.
