I had to stifle my giggles to keep from waking the kiddo. All the stars to you!

My friend from school (small town) died by suicide in our early 20’s. The funeral service was done by a man who was both a pastor and police officer - in fact the very one who came to our classroom every year for 5th and 6th grade for DARE. He spent most of the service speaking of Jesus, whom my friend didn’t believe…

Thank Allah that our atheist-Muslim commander in chief declared himself president for life.

A gif tumbr I follow, also run by a woman, has been putting MORE Deen gifs up. When someone asked her nicely if she thought that it was a bit disrespectful to be posting those gifs, she told them to fuck themselves and unfollow her. I have since unfollowed her. Ugh.

No, I didn’t say he should or shouldn’t show interest in women if he wants to remain a virgin until marriage. I was responding to your idea that YOU don’t find Channing Tatum attractive. You are not dating him, pursuing him, writing him love notes so your attraction to him doesn’t make a good comparison. Tebow was…

Yeah, but would you pursue him, write him love notes and openly date him because Tebow did that with this woman. Its not the case that Tebow isn’t attracted to her specifically because he wanted to date her and given that she’s the one that broke it off he presumably wanted to continue.

Its also a complete logic fail from the sentence wording. The onus is on the girls for letting - a word implying consent - boys take advantage of them - a phrase which implies lack of consent. If the boys are taking advantage there is no letting happening.

Why was that officer not trained sufficiently enough to subdue the man walking in the street without firing a gun at him?

While he does come to mind, it is nowhere near just him at his jail (not prison) that subscribes to extremely low amounts for food expenses. My son’s father was incarcerated and that got me interested in the topic. In college, I spent a semester doing independent study on the prison industrial complex in the US. Its…

Which is horrible because I read somewhere they only spend $1.75-2.00 on avg per prisoner per day on food.

I have noticed this as well. Its really odd and sad at the same time.

I apologize. I probably am overly triggered by this entire thread and not necessarily your post to which I replied. It was a sort of knee jerk reaction to feeling shamed for consuming media that is helpful to me and being told (not by you) that I’m gross and no better than rapists. It feels like I’m being robbed of my…

I can’t speak for others, but when I consume nonconsent/reluctance material, I am not imagining or getting off on hurting others. I am literally inserting myself in the narrative. I’ve discussed it with my therapist because it freaked me out as I had less than zero desire for it before being raped. I’m subverting what…

That sounds like my rapist as well. He knew all the right things to say. I felt like I hit the jackpot in okc dating. Then we met up and he proved everything he said was a lie.

I’m a rape survivor too. I don’t want to minimize your feelings on this, but by several of your successive comments in a row it appears you are confusing real-actual-rape with onscreen-simulated-rape done by consenting performers. I get turned on by the latter but the former makes me ill and is triggering. I don’t…

Listen, I’ve been raped. It was horrible, it still affects me but I’m getting better through therapy. I also enjoy nonconsent/reluctance erotica and porn. Why? Because its fantasy - its not real. I’m not masturbating to news stories about rape victims. Real rape is disgusting and dehumanizing. I don’t wish it on my…

Personal anecdote:

That’s actually a brilliant idea. If he is only charged with the murder of a police officer that is what the media and then the public will latch onto. But charging him with terrorism actually sends a very strong message.

Thank you. Even if the woman has a mental illness it is no reason to mock her. Its not funny, cheeky or edgy. Its mean.

Why are mentally ill people a joke? Do you make jokes about burn victims or cancer patients or persons with physical disabilities?
