I know what a metaphor is. Yours just wasn't a good one.

Apparently so is replying without being condescending and snarky.

The statistic is from criminological stats figures in Canada. So maybe they differ where you are from. And the data considers the dark figure of crime as well. Just because a case does not go to trial does not mean a rape did not occur is the premise. Though your condescension that I must not be intelligent enough to…

I love how you were so protective of your friend. I'm like that too if anyone tries to mess with my friends/loved ones they mess with me. And I can go into crazy mode so nobody wants to mess with me ;) I never had attempted rape to stop but guys harassing and forcing themselves at the club or this one dude that made…

Well if you read the whole thing she did eventually do something. So I guess your annoyance is she didn't act immediately? Maybe she did not foresee it escalating to that point. We can't know what's in an obsessive or stalker's mind after all.

Just to understand your meaning: are you saying that anyone who takes prescription meds, no matter no low the dose and how little effect it has on them psychologically, can legally never consent to sex? So these people are just constantly being raped by virtue of taking prescription drugs??

See my response above to Eric for the reasoned response. Also honey no gums were flapping except maybe your own, as I am typing my responses.

Do not try to justify an old man hitting on a young GIRL. That is out of line they should not be doing that. There is nothing flattering about that don't delude yourself into thinking otherwise. Where I am from that would be sexual harassment of a minor. Who knows if the perv doesn't have pedophilic tendencies or…

Proof or it didn't happen. And your anecdotal experiences of meeting mean women's studies faculty is not proof. I can just as easily make an empty claim as yours and say all men's right activists or men are the biggest drama queens in the world. They hate everyone. If I presented that as an accusation it would be…

I've heard one theory not for you to debate over just to consider. That statistically the trend is men can be successful and financially well off just completing trade school or 2 year college. Whereas women even when they go to university often still make less money but they make much more than women that just…

Actually men are far more likely to complete suicide. The numbers are relatively close for attempted suicide. Get the trends right ;)

The social sciences and many stats databases have access to the info you seek. Go to google scholar (type in "google scholar" in the search engine if it doesn't appear as a tab) and type in your questions to find journal articles that deal with the underlying causes of single parenthood— hint there are many many…

You can block with IM but I don't think so with emailing or texting— if he uses a different number every time and she'd be having to change her number every time. My point was instead of asking what's wrong with her why not ask what's wrong with him?! Unless you feel men are justified treating anyone they want to like…

I doubt it I'm in Canada. Though I suppose people can lie about their location and create multiple false profiles o.O

If you can't see how driving and rape (or if you want to call that crime sex) are different than there is no point trying to reason with you.

We are not even talking about the same thing. I am talking about someone who was passed out and could not consent to sex so basically their body was violated while they were unconscious or about to pass out. You are talking about someone who had a couple drinks and regrets the one night stand.

It's up to you but I'd say do all that now! Better to get rid of that sort of stress and drama from your life sooner rather than later. Subconsciously it is probably bothering you even if you are not actively thinking of it. As long as your life is not at risk— police really do suck at enforcing restraining orders—…

False equivalency. A person drunk driving made the choice to drink and drive. A person raped while drunk only made the choice to drink not be raped. See the key difference in your flawed opinion? She/he only has responsibility for his/her actions and not for the rapists actions. Regardless of the state of the victim,…

Illogical asshole alert. Blaming the victim for being harassed and asking her what's wrong with her? instead of asking the harasser WTF is wrong with you?! Dude leave her alone, no means no. Go away means go away.
