ADULTOSAUR in: THE ACADEMY PERSON

I'm sorry to "recommend" your comment, but thank you for commenting.

I feel the same, I have shared with friends and some of my family. And the response is always "well why didn't you....". It's so hard not to blame yourself. And I agree. Unless you've been there, how can you say what you would havr done? Big hugs to you and lots of internet love. Hopefully when we all share, we can…

And all the people who miiiight acknowledge that her ptsd is real only because she's a veteran, but would otherwise dismiss it because it's "just" from sexual assault and that's disrespectful to people who've seen combat and blah blah. Those are my favorites. The ones who think they get to decide who gets to have ptsd…

And someone wants to give these idiots better access to guns on campus. This poor woman. She's a hero. I'm glad she was able to report them and I hope the Air Force speaks up for her.

Don't forget out racist present!

And as far as the accusations about the Academy being racist? Yes, most members are white males, but they are not the cast of Deliverance — they had to get into the Academy to begin with, so they're not cretinous, snaggletoothed hillbillies.

If we're not after their resources, we're after their guns.

I normally don't wear makeup due to a combination of laziness and not liking it, but I had my makeup professionally done last year because I was a bridesmaid. It looked so cakey and weird to me in person, but I looked amazing in pictures. That insane looking makeup definitely serves a purpose.

oh, uh, i misread the title.

The first "young, hot little girl" who shoots a "nice boy" trying to assault her at a frat party where both of them have been drinking will be the first "young, hot little girl" prosecuted for it. When women actually do use guns to try to protect themselves and/or their daughters from abuse, they go to jail. The…

Hmmm. To grab a gun and shoot your classmate boyfriend friend date teammate person attempting to rape you and live with the guilt and with the possibility of people not believing your version of events, OR to be raped and live with the trauma and have those same people blame you for not having a gun or not using it.…

Exactly, it also plays to the idea that all rapists are strangers in dark alleys needing to only be shot to be stopped when most rapes occur with people women trusted or thought safe. The gun won't come in handy with bfs or dates or great friends met on campus. This is bizarre on so many levels. It is as if people…

Seriously. I'm a pretty staunch pacifist - I can't see myself taking someone's life for pretty much any reason. So to tell me the solution to rape requires a bloodthirsty enthusiasm for gunning someone down...yeah. And I guess if I don't carry a gun and brandish it at every potential assailant, I'm totally asking…

I'm not anti-gun, but I think it's incredibly naive how so many people think that all problems can be solved with guns. When it comes to rape, the gun solution seems to be framed on the "stranger jumps you from the bushes" model, which as we all know only accounts for a small portion of rape. Most rapes are done by…

Classic uterus envy.

Another species, indeed.

I think that is also why it's so important to be especially kind and courteous to people in these types of service jobs that don't often have much prestige in our society. Likely they are working completely thankless jobs just to support themselves and their families and the last thing they need is someone to come…
