Could you um, just wear sweat pants or something? For the same effect? No?

Don't worry! Just rock it. :) Having dressed-up for conventions before, the fun you will have will totally eclipse whatever unfortunate circumstances you'll run into, if any.

My plan, if I ever do end up in a situation where I give my boyfriend sexy pictures (who is a very good man and would NEVER do something like that, even if we broke up on horrible terms... But I can't predict every situation - maybe his house gets robbed and computer stolen, who knows), is that I take really, REALLY…

I understand Russian, but hrm. I don't think I want to watch that, I get enough bullshit about "no needing to go see a doctor, just meditate the illness away!" from my mother's crazy friends. D: What makes her husband interesting?

Ah, I see. I know this was a thing in the Victorian era (specifically the atrophy of the abdominal muscles, which caused all kinds of problems during pregnancy), but I didn't know it was possible to do it to such an extent.

Hmm. That actually sounds like a good idea if you're not like me (i.e. prone to start slapping the slapper back because I go from zero to HULK in 0.5 seconds; the one time I tried getting my boyf to motivate me to get to work is the one time I totally lost it, got angry and started yelling at him. Which... wasn't very…

That photo at the bottom. D:

Well, yeah.

And Paul Ryan's too, apparently. Birds of a feather and all that.

Yeah. They're "looking" for them. Probably to give them a high-five and send them on their way. They're as corrupt as the government they serve.

No problem. :) L&O SVU has come a looong way and they're [generally] pretty good about things like that now.

The athlete example was kind of a stretch, I went back to it afterwards and realized it didn't actually make a lot of sense. I guess I was trying to make the example that if a professional athlete got beaten up, no one tries to bring up the idea that because they've gotten pummeled legally before, it was totes okay to…

Sorry, that was an over-simplification. The statement doesn't really preclude the act of gathering evidence - that's still a necessary part of any legal proceeding. The trouble comes that after the evidence is gathered, it's still perfectly normal to question the victim's word and by doing so completely invalidate any…

Okay, maybe I over-simplified the situation. I don't think that the word of the victim is all that should take to convict someone - clearly, evidence need to be collected. But sexual assault is the only case where it's extremely common to call the victim's word/past into question after evidence of the act is gathered.

It seems fitting that just yesterday, a fictional TV show about catching rapists had the main character end the episode with [paraphrased] "Sexual assault cases are the only cases where the victim's word isn't good enough - we need to prove that the crime actually occurred".

But.... I don't really think the episode was saying that. I don't recall them ever saying that it was okay that she was raped because she was a kinkster (as they first assumed she was one), or that it was completely normal to rape submissive women because that's what they wanted.

The episode wasn't making that point. Instead, what they're doing is underlining the grim reality that anyone who isn't an innocent lilly-white virgin doesn't get a fair trial because the jury assumes they were a slut who never says no to anything.

He's my hero for today! :D I just went and read up about some other investigative work he's done. Good on him to take accusations seriously and investigate potential cases of inappropriate sexual relations with minors and solicitations of child pornography.

No. The article makes it sound like Bailey got arrested for his photos, but he actually wasn't. Jason Fetner got a warrant because in his comments on CreepShots, Bailey referenced sending inappropriate photos to underage students and other illegal shenanigans - and he surrendered his phone voluntarily, on top of that.…

Yyyyeaah. No to the "surprise him with a finger up his butt". And I say this as someone who primarily has the sort of sex with guys where he's under me with a phallic object up his ass. I believe anyone (guy or girl), even if s/he would otherwise be interested in anal play, would be like WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK…
