Here is a quick note on rape and physiological arousal, particularly as it pertains to male victims of rape.

I just want to say before the comments get full of people doubting Shia LaBeouf that anyone who continues to claim he wasn't raped is a rape apologist, a victim blamer, and an asshole.

Yup. The internet is forever, Elizabeth.

This is a very polite and neutral expression. 13 year old me with acne, braces, and wild mood swings would not have been able to hold it together for a turkey pardon in front of the international media. Sasha and Malia will turn out just fine.

"I prayed for hours" is code for "I scrambled for support from my racist asshole buddies but even they side-eyed me and backed away slowly, so I finally got it through my thick skull that maybe this was a stupid idea and here is my insincere apology."

I'm okay with this.

I guess if you're Black, female and under 18 you're supposed to wear a school uniform at all times so people can differentiate you from all the teenage bar floozies. And after you turn 18 military garb or clothing clearly displaying your university's logo.

Lauten deleted the post and apologized, saying that after "hours of prayer," she realized that she was wrong.

Lauten's press release mentioned that she prayed about this after all the backlash.

... comments she made about the Obama girls looking like bar floozies with bad attitudes

It was an honest mistake... she meant to call them thugs.

I just read this on the main thread and holy shit. I thought MY story was terrifying. Whatever that things was mocking jesus in front of you, just omfg. It's like it was trying to use whatever thing it thought it could do to scare you!

The biggest part I'm calling bullshit on is that he has a girlfriend.

He also claims to be some kind of master criminal check cashing czar:

I am not a paper clip I'm actually a binder clip.

I am a baby otter.

Full disclosure: I'm only pretending to be a man. I'm actually a footstool.
