HA!

I mean, I guess that is her right. But if she wants to be understood and taken seriously she'll use the word in the way that it is defined.

You are why I have hope for humans.

Yeah rape only effects like, what? 6 people a year? Totally not an important issue or something systemically/culturally enforced worldwide.*

You've obviously experienced some shit in your life, and I'm not here to discredit that. I will say for most men, rape and sexual assault is not something that is taken as a daily threat. In current societies, we've gendered what kind of violence "should happen" to men and women. For men, it's being mugged and beat…

Here's my two cents:

When I was a wee-one, my mom worked full-time as an RN and my dad stayed at home and made the meals, did the lundry, cleaned the house, took care of my sister and I etc., so now when I see other dudes who can't do these things, I'm perplexed. Of course, I'm not judging these people because I am aware of how we…

Thank you, that's exactly what I was thinking.

I have similar feelings, and am glad that you shared yours.

I think you're right to feel that way. I'm not a WOC, but I share that sentiment. Firstly because of this thing called US History, and secondly because there was no discussion before hand about such dirty talk.

That is what I am saying. God forbid us single ladies do anything for ourselves. There must be SOMETHING wrong with us if we are not actively trying to get back into a relationship because then, and only THEN do our lives have any meaning.

It should be difficult to charge the person sending or receiving? In any case, the only thing to do in that situation would be to report what was sent right away. How often does it happen that one receives CP without a searching for it, though?

If they're 18, I think they should be charged. 17 and under I agree they shouldn't be charged.

Well you're about as charming as a turd in a box of Cheerios. When did I say distributors shouldn't be charged?

I'm positive possession of CP, no matter the manner of obtaining it, is illegal.

You didn't have to be condescending, that was quite rude. It's implied in the article and in my first sentence that the recipients of the photos knew what they were being sent. Also, if you're receiving CP from anybody, you probably know it's CP, so yes, you should be charged. I realize no evidence to the contrary…

Dude, you and like, two other people are spewing that hate. That's it.

Obesity is both of those things.

I love how much Roth freaked out. Every time I hear her talk about obesity or diets, or anything involving health, it just seems to me like she is desperately trying to convince herself that what she is doing or saying is right, and that she isn't dealing with some sort of sewed vision of what health is.

In my experience, I did have a point where I said to myself I needed to get help, but I do realize that is different than "talking myself out of it". I agree, I think she should have been a little more precise, or at least careful, in how she talked about her depression, because she had a chance to disspell the…
