Look Faethe, I don't know you from Adam, here I am posting these long articles that I've read to share information with you and I'm not getting much back from you in the way of letting me know if you've read up on the issue you're bragging about or not, so how's this: either let me know you've read the article, and…

Are you a parent? Because the consensus that I've gotten from all of the ones I know is that losing their kid is the worst thing that could ever happen to them. Making an honest mistake that results in the death of your kid has to be even worse. It's just callous and wrong to suggest that the dad, especially, will…

I accidentally killed a rabbit 23 years ago. I still haven't gotten over it. He will probably move on but I seriously doubt think he will get over it.

Oh go fuck yourself.

I've heard it's like that for passports because they want to be able to identify your corpse should you die overseas.

to be fair to the austrians, they REALLY like order and tidiness (i studied abroad in Austria last semester). nudity is a-ok in its proper place (aka the spa, low-cut dirndls, ads, etc). ANYTHING outside of place is a shock to the austrians. I can only imagine how much consternation a bare bum in a window must have…

It's relevant to a DMV worker who has been told to make sure that ppl don't try to pull of a "disguise" for their photo.

Someone got upset cuz they accidentally thought a boy looked cute. Oops.

My first thought is to be surprised that there's a DMV employee in existence who gives this many fucks about anything about their job.

I wouldn't post pics of any kids online.

I would like to state the following, in this woman's defense: I am a tech-savvy(ish) 32 year old woman. I know that the internet is a sketchy, sketchy place, and I know enough about internet safety to avoid posting my location, birthdate, etc. HOWEVER, when I first got Instagram I had no idea that it was a public…

"virginia woman finds out about the internet"

*facepalm* You are not good at trolling. "victim-blamer" isn't an insult, it's descriptive. Because THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE DOING. If you don't want to be called a victim-blamer, stop making lame arguments that blame the victim.

What you're saying is "it's not your fault you were raped, but you probably got raped because you did this thing that was your fault". You're setting up a series of reasons why the woman is at fault for her rape.

It is NOT victim blaming. Rape is a crime. Like any other crime, there are ways to reduce your chance of being a victim. It is not women vs men, it is women vs criminals.

The whole point of most date rape stories is that there was nothing to avoid - no danger to see - until the moment there WAS something to fear and it was too late. These rapists are not 'bad men'. They are unprincipled, unfeeling, entitled men who think they have a right to do whatever they want to smaller, weaker,…

Our country has a ridiculous obsession with sports, and it does more harm than good. I know people are going to argue that "oh, but it gets students access to education" but how often are the athletes expected to ignore the education part in favor of the sports, to get a degree that means nothing? And of those…

Ok, here's my take on this as a rape crisis counselor, and a social worker: It sounds like he was trying to understand the situation - probably not to find out how much blame he can place on you, but to create a situation in which he could "see" it. Maybe was was looking for a reason why someone would rape, maybe he…
