Thank you for that chuckle-snort.
Some brevity to take the edge off my rage headache from some of the other excessively long threads was pleasant indeed.

Goddamn it, she is just so adorable!

I'm sorry you were victimized as a child.

I tend to be the same mix. I love cooking for our game nights. Really gives me a chance to shine, but I am also very logical and methodical. I like playing team games so people don't hate me. I can get very competitive though, so I never play gambling games.

Probably. People forgive and forget many who have done a lot worse, especially if they are otherwise skilled or charming people.

No, he was sexually harassing her. Sometimes confronting a person with power (him being the founder of his company gives him status and power) has negative repercussions, especially in male dominated fields. He used his inquiry in a business related situation to start a sexually-related discussion, which was…

Thanks. My situation: I work late at night in a position which could potentially be dangerous for me and he was my partner. He's old enough to be my dad, and some of his kids work in various locations in my place of employment. From the first day of training him (I have been at my company for 9 years-8 at the time-…

Obviously not. I grew up as a tomboy in an area where most women are expected to be just as rugged as men (or be incredibly dainty flowers if they aren't). Joking conversations I have with my friends are always private and are always engaged by both parties. No a one-sided sexual solicitation attempt where she is…

I'm not a lawyer, so I cannot affirm what he said constituted something illegal, but it certainly did not seem to be friendly banter between friends. Particularly because she did not engage him or return the banter.
I don't know why you are calling me an ass because I strongly stated my opinion on the subject matter,…

Thank you! I get so incredibly disgusted at the responses to things like this it is difficult for me to articulate my feelings. I have been sexually harassed by an older male coworker before and it was horrible, especially since it started small and gradually escalated. I never thought I would be in a situation like…

One, he owned up to it. Two, no we should not be lenient on men who harass women. Period.

Questioning the context of something like this and excusing is flagrant public display of sexual harassment is exactly what the problem is. This guy as a professional had no business throwing in sexual innuendo/propositions in his business request, publicly or privately. It's the leniency on him while focusing on how…

To quote my esteemed and lovely sister who is a bartender:
"Do NOT get me stated. I work in Beverly Fucking Hills. The most entitled, cheap, arrogant, pricks come into my bar. Some of them come in demanding items that aren't even on the menu. "I want what I want when I want it! Wah!" Well how the fuck does it feel to…

Haven't played it yet (just watched a video on it from IGN last night) but it makes me laugh thinking on how dependent on save spots we have become. I remember gaming on our Amiga as a kid and some of those games were ridiculous. I revisited one (The New Zealand Story) on an emulator and holy shit. Couldn't even get…

I am generally a pretty polite driver and I will allow people to merge in front of me with limited hassle, though I typically am a laneupper. I live in the middle of nowhere, so it very much is not the kind of issue city folks have to deal with.
However! I draw the line at the bridge where I live. I had some dickbag…

Nah, I know exactly what you mean. I know a ton of emotionally screwed people who cannot bear to be alone and equate sexual contact as a meaning in their lives. I feel sort of bad for them, because being comfortable with yourself is pretty much a baseline to start any healthy relationship.
I've never been one for…

It feels like that moment once the post coital hormones have deflated and she's having that coyote ugly moment...only she's awake and he's making himself at home. Which is not really his right as a hookup, though the rules are hardly defined in stone anywhere.

It's good to hear a positive view from "the other side" though. If a woman wants to go out and have a string of non-committed dalliances, more power to her. We have been in a culture where it has been openly accepted for men to do this and women to be shamed for it. The double standard is awful, and I highly doubt…
