I feel like they should have respected George’s feelings about this, but regarding cannon and his daughter with a wife, we bi/pan people do exist and may have relationships with people of any gender!

Good, too bad he didn’t consider the consequences of shooting a man repeatedly before he could finishing putting his hands up. Though I can’t help but think his breakdown is over the loss of his career.

Thank you! I’m not stoic, but after finding my SIL’s dead body I went into shock and became super calm (appearing) because I was trying to process the trauma and trying to help my SO. SIL was 100% not murdered, but for the first time in my passess for white life, the police were incredibly suspicious of me (trying to…

Oh my god I had no idea he was dead. I was very young when I watched Xena.

People who are identified as potentially gifted or learning disabled typically get tested by a school psychologist.

I find that terrifying. I can’t believe I’m in the top 12% of savers for my age group.

I’m the only person on my “team” with any ability to say “no” because everyone else absolutely requires their job to pay the bills (mind you, this is a pretty good paying professional job). It sure feels good and gives me peace of mind.

My parents have always had a joint account that my dad’s money would be automatically deposited into, because with his job, she needed to access his money when he was out of the country to pay the bills (she worked, but obviously he was the “breadwinner”). That’s the only situation I can think of where it is really…

It’s not a matter of getting illegal drugs. Just this specific type, since they stopped being manufactured in the 80s.

A lot of states don’t use rape, but different “degrees” of sexual assault. In my state, sexual assault in the 1st degree (past the age of consent) requires force or the threat of force. It is then also considered “aggravated” if a weapon is used or implied. Sadly, it is the 4th degree (lowest possible-a misdemeanor)…

I generally agree, but I saw a few other posts where women didn’t want to have sex, but still consented (not conceded, which the author didn’t even do, she clearly did not consent at any point) out of obligation/not wanting to be viewed as a prude/prior history of trauma that makes them feel obligated to consent to…

As long as you try to listen, work hard to understand, don’t try to tell women that you know more about their experiences, acknowledge when you mess up/learn from it, you shouldn’t be given a hard time.

I’m very sorry that happened to you and your friend. I don’t know your gender, but I’d imagine for men, it would be hard to say, “Oh _____ was just asked to leave because she sexually assaulted me.”

There are still a lot of current movies that show if you are persistent enough, you can “win” the womans affections. But when I watch movies from even the 80's and 90's I’m absolutely sickened by the rape scenes, stalking, refusing to take no as an answer, etc. being shown as “romantic.”

I don’t think playing “cat and mouse” games is a good idea. I have never done so. But, women do that because of sexism! She’s quite a bit older than me so would have had far more indoctrination about how women are supposed to view sex (god, the movies from those times are awful with portraying “romance” with women…

I was very confused reading all the comments of “it doesn’t meet the legal definition of rape!” I live in the US, but in my state there are also different degrees of sexual assault and there is no such thing as being charged with rape.

I agree that sexual compatibility is important, but don’t forget that it can wax and wane over the course of relationships for men and women.

It’s not even about getting the legal definition of rape, it’s that those are harder to convict.

Would she be willing to join a support group or utilize some of the sex therapy and couples therapy resources available on the internet and work on them with you? My biased opinion is that a trained therapist is better, but I do think you can use some of those things to increase self-esteem, decrease resentment, and…

I’d also like to point out, that until it happens, you don’t know how you will react. I’ve always said I would cooperate with a mugger, my life is worth more than money, yet against all my logic, I became combative with a man who had me in a hallway (to the extent I could, as he had managed to lift me against the wall…
