Holy S do not go to a car wash in the middle of the night where I live. Actually do not go anywhere in the middle of the night where I live.

All you silly motherfuckers, talking about Chicago, or NY. Downtown Houston is the devil’s sweatbox. When I get into the car at 8 AM and the thermometer is in double digits I consider it a relief. It hit 90 yesterday and I thought fall had arrived. Houston is where sweat comes to sweat.

Born and raised in California; I spent a weekend in Florida this August. Humid heat isn’t pleasant—you always feel sticky, even fresh out of the shower. But extreme dry heat is worse. You can just feel the sun beating down on you mercilessly and there’s nothing you can do except try to find some small scrap of shade

Well to be fair the NFL’s parity was pretty bad up until free agency in the 90's, that said the Cubs are probably still worse, 112 years without a championship...

Here’s my argument for NYC, feel free to disagree: It’s incredibly hot, humid, loud, closed in, blah blah blah. So is everywhere else. BUT you don’t drive a car if you’re like 85% of the residents. You take the subway. Ever been on a subway platform in July? It’s the devil’s asshole. You’re standing, maybe in a suit,

I’ve been to Vegas in the summer, mistake, and the dry heat is awful. That being said, it is totally different than walking through 100 degree 70% humidity in Chicago. Just feels gross and your hair puffs up.

Or the Broncos salary cap schenanigans which allowed them to win a Superbowl...

I’m not sure if you responded to the wrong person or just overlooked my snark. But either way, I’m not going to therapy.

Don’t worry, you just stirred up a Jezzy hornets nest. Just do yourself a favor, and don’t reply...you’ll be here all day.

I think you are willfully misunderstanding. As others have said in this chain, men simply aren’t conditioned with this fear. It’s possible and it does happen, but most men don’t have this internalized fear of being raped because it’s not an ever present threat. When I was 15, my english class read the Handmaid’s Tale

You seem pretty offended, otherwise you wouldn’t be angrily replying to all these comments.

You must be confused. This is the internet. There’s no room for reasoned, respectful disagreement here.

I have no way to quickly gather the stats for that. But I guarantee you if I compared accusations of sexual assault made against 105 players from a college football team vs. the same accusations made against 105 guys age 18-22 taken from the tallest office building in whatever city you live in, the football players

If you’re a large male who doesn’t drink or do drugs, lives in a safe area and doesn’t travel much, your chances of being raped are incredibly low and exponentially lower than a female who does those things.

Pretty sure they’re a false flag troll.

So let’s say you have ONLY seen colors orange and yellow and I describe to you red as orange with less yellow, would you be able to imagine it? Because that is what you are asking. We, men, can only empathize and that’s what That_Other_Guy is doing. Is it perfect? No, humans are not a perfect design. Our brain plays

I am a man who has been raped, and a man who has been beaten so badly I nearly drowned in my own blood (two separate incidents). I still say I do not know what a woman who is raped goes through, just as I would not expect someone who has never had a near death experience to empathize for me rather than with me. And 5

It doesn't hurt to try. Any time I can discuss a serious topic with someone who disagrees with me and avoid name-calling, I try for a little while.

You’re going back and forth with someone who took issue with the particulars of the way you stated that rape is an awful, abhorrent thing. There was absolutely nothing wrong with your original statement. You were doing the right thing from the start.

Why bother.

He drugged her and raped her, took videos and pictures which she found out about, and then she went out with him again? What the hell is wrong with this girl?
