Yes. As a survivor myself, I think I do. What would you have had the university do? Force her to file a report when she said she didn't want to. That would be a swell thing to do to someone whose agency was taken away once! Why not do it again!!??

Sure. The victim didn't even want to file a report with the university, so the university should compel her to go to the police against her wishes? Yah, makes sense.

Yup, read it. Understand it very well, too. But perhaps you should take your own advice.

Yeah, kind of think I am somewhat of an EXPERT on what happens to rape victims and how they react. Guess what? We all react(ed) differently! Imagine that! Some of us get mad, some get even, some get depressed, some get angry, some can't make decisions and some don't want to be fucking coddled like a 7 year old with a…

Oh, I did read it. I especially liked the part where the victim's mother was IN THE ROOM with the dean and her mother mentions the assault. Perhaps her mother could have offered some guidance? Perhaps the victim could have, you know, answered the dean's email the next day where she stressed that the decision was…

Honestly, these are adult women. Just because they are college students doesn't make them more needful of hand-holding. An 18 year old who is not in college is not afforded special help in navigating the legal system, so I'm not sure why these young women are at such a loss as to what to do. Is someone from the…

An evil meat-like product popular with the PA Dutch. The story goes that once you take all of the meat from a pig, then use the rest for sausage, what's left is mixed with cornmeal, made into bricks and sold as scrapple. *shudder*

Gray is the reason that I won't eat and won't allow my daughter to eat scrapple. Grey food... no legit food should be gray.

But I thought all of those refugee children coming from there are really just drug mules and ebola transports?

I actually had a creationist tell me that the fossil record was a hoax!

Are we headed for a world where the automated phone system tells you enter your account number followed by the hashtag?

Meh. It's really not that great. Tastes like—- mayonnaise.

I just bought Duke's for the first time last week (in PA) and it's basically the same as Hellman's. I don't note a real difference except in price (Duke's on sale for $2.49; Hellman's regular price, a hefty $5.99)

Ugh. Is shin-length a thing now? A really unflattering, fugly thing?

You may be able to score it online at Best Buy. Their Black Friday sale starts Thursday night and a lot of times sale prices aren't exclusively in-store.

Dammit! How old am I???? When the original Do They Know came out, I knew every single person featured in the song and video. I'm sorry to say that besides Bono, I don't know even one. Who are these people? Why are they on my lawn??
