So we must NEVER EVERRRRRRRR do anything in public that might trigger someone? It’s not that I don’t agree with you. If he were beating her in public, even with her permission, that wouldn’t be okay, but it’s just a dog collar and leash. Eating in front of someone with an ED can a trigger. Loud noises can be a trigger…

Apparently it’s still the 1700s in Chechnya.

Oh my gosh, wow. Something similar (but way less crazy) happened to me when my first boyfriend I’d met at youth group raped me at a church bbq. When I told my mom, I got grounded. When a 20 something year old that creepily hung out with my crowd of friends drugged me a couple of my girlfriends and then assaulted us on…

My Christian school did this with one of the teachers that was sexting a student back ~2007. When the grapevine finally spread to parents about 3 months after the school found out about it, parents unrelated to the student reported it and it blew up in their faces. These teachers/pastors on weekends were facing so…

My honeymoon plans in Hawaii just got a lot more fun.

Ah interesting. We don’t have laws like that here. It’s just flat out 18. We all know that kids won’t listen to an age of consent with each other. Lol.

Yeah, it’s not like that most places. Statutory is about age in most places.

I just included both options because, like I said, I don’t know anything about this story, just the briefest of the brief.

Interesting! Totally didn’t know that. Adding it to the brain database. Our age of consent is 18, but we also have the Romeo and Juliet clause for people under 18 who were dating before one of them turned 18. So if that person is now 18-20 or so, they could get away without doing more than community service, if…

Honestly, I have no clue. I don’t know anything about this story. I just got curious after browsing through it.

The age of consent in Virginia is 15, but it could have happened in DC, but the age of consent there is 16. So it’s not statutory either way. Most people would say EWW at either option. This guy is just a dirty old man. (reposted from another comment)

However, sleeping with your underlings in business is disgusting and…

Age of consent in Virginia: 15.
Age of consent in DC: 16.

No statutory, even if it is super gross. >_<

My fiance and I have both slept with well over 100 people each. Him, probably well over 200. Neither of us counted. Lol. It’s a two way street and we respect that we had lives before each other and as long as we’re clean, it doesn’t really matter. =]

Of topic, but your username is AMAZING.

My fiance and I both slept around a lot back in our days; we’re both probably into triple digits (not combined). Neither of us has made a baby, nor do we carry any diseases. We have been honest about this since day one and openly talking about stuff like that. I know some of his exes and he knows some of mine. The…

Blur all the offensive things!

How can Tea Party republicans vote to decriminalize marijuana because big government is against their policies, but then they vote for government to regulate more than half of their population’s private lives? WHERE IS THE LOGIC?

Personally, I don’t believe that this is something that can be fixed with anything easy. All you can do is encourage women to join these types of fields, such as STEM, so that in the coming decades it appears more balanced.

I honestly think that the gender imbalance when it comes to “experts within the field” falls…
