It’s distinctly(read: most likely) possible it was my own stupidity, but I used to have legitimately unlimited TMobile LTE(I often used 20+GB/mo) and I could never get my VPN to actually work on my Samsung or LG. This was pre-Binge On days so my only incentive was to see if I could make it work, though.

I was homeschooled(in the scary religious way) and it always blows my mind to see people come out of the woodwork to rail against it. Growing up it was always the one big positive in my life that took away from all the other negatives, and it gave me such a significant leg up in life. I was taking a full-time college…

Yeah, that really stuck out at me and I’m surprised the Dr. didn’t mention it. Not only does he have severe Oneitis, he’s starting to get into “but it’s all her fault!” territory, which, yuck!

I’m not particularly disagreeing with you. But there are some people in some situations that are unable to deal with it themselves(or have attempted to get authorities involved and they weren’t taken seriously) and are unwilling to block for the reasons I listed above.

I think the thinking is that there are some situations where people don’t take kindly to being blocked and will escalate things with you(stalking, getting physical, spreading rumors, etc.). If you keep feeding them a little bit and their interest peters out on its own, then they’re less likely to become malicious.

Sounds like even if he had ever had sex he was probably doing the world a favor by never having it again. Teen boys are so overwhelmingly douchey he probably saved a lot of stupidity.

I realized after discovering a picture of my fiance’s ex(THE ex, the one true love) that I look EXACTLY like her. He can’t see it, but I certainly do, as to others I’ve spoken to that knew her(some of his friends). It’s a bit weird, but there’s a reason he’s marrying me and not her, and I look at it like that instead…

Everyone will shit on you, but I 100% agree. If you can, do it. Homeschooling has such a stupid/horrible stigma due to the whackos on the right doing it, we NEED level-headed well-educated kids on the other side.

I just can’t believe how many people seem to lack simple human decency and empathy when it comes to rape culture. Like, what? How??? I know why in my head but it doesn’t stop it from hurting my heart.

AGAIN. This is my personal experience in schools where THE ENTIRE POPULATION is POC. I know all the statistics and I’m VERY well aware that schools essentially feed young black and hispanic men and boys into the justice system for minor crimes. But at the schools I’ve seen first hand? The girls get it worse. Period.…

I’m listing, in my experience working with at-risk kids in schools, what happens. I’m not nessisarily replying to the article, but to a comment on it. See?

Amen. I volunteer with an organization that has a cadet program(Civil Air Patrol holla!) and there are very strict rules about senior members and cadets, and even cadets over 18 and those under 18.

Because the enlightened and reasonable stuff is an act. It’s an attempt to be cool. They don’t honestly care about people as whole, just perhaps the one or two women in their lives, and others are just objects, which comes out on these types of posts.

I know it intellectually but I still sometimes have fantasies about becoming a rapist-killing vigilante.

Yeah, I know, I’m just kind of venting. But I do agree with you.

Yup. People are quick to make it a race issue, which is BS, because it’s not. It’s a money and power issue.

Yes, well, this is Deadspin, the men’s blog. Victim-blaming and misogyny come as no surprise here, or on Gizmodo. MRA is in full force, but I kind of know how to deal with it as I sometimes visit Reddit.

The link between schools and juvie is really scary. I’ve heard cases of cops being called because girls wouldn’t submit to dress code. Girls fuck up once or twice in school and they go to JJAEP, while boys who fuck up are “being boys” and sent to the alternative school.

I live in Texas and I’m not surprised as there’s a different culture for “problem” girls. The standards are impossibly high and there’s a lot of backwards thinking that girls should behave a certain way, and when they’re frequently traumatized and they don’t behave that way the punishment is far greater than for boys.…
