I'd imagine they aren't putting all their weight on the women haha. You can use your arms to hold upper torso up a little.

That's usually a last ditch effort because someone wasn't taking previous hints that they're not into them. Generally, I have a boyfriend, but I will tell you I'm not interested—that is what is important, not that some other guy "got" me first.

It is stupid. But some violent people, who are violent due to psychosis, do want to prevent themselves from being violent. People do go to hospitals saying, "I want to kill ______ so I need help." But overall, yes, the piece of paper is pointless. It is meant as a tool to prevent liability. It's sad.

Self harm contracts are intended to inform people of what supports they can use if they feel like harming themselves or others. That is not age appropriate though, they are used with adults. And they are more of a liability thing, as I learned in grad school that they aren't effective (well duh).

Obviously I don't think she is healthy. I don't think we are disagreeing here, aside from me pointing out that she may have started to work on this trauma in her treatment.

For all you know she did talk about this during her treatment. They are bound by confidentiality and would not call the police. Healthy people do not want attention in this way.

They didn't diagnose her, or even say her father did it. They said her behavior (publicly) is similar to people who have experienced trauma. That is fairly straightforward.

Yes, it is actually validating for many people to understand that it is part of the cause of their mental illness.

I agree with the sentiments of your post, but in the case of PTSD for sexual assault survivors, the rape does cause the mental illness. Not everyone who is sexually assaulted develops a mental illness, but of those with mental illness, a much higher percentage of them experienced a sexual assault preceding the…

Wow this sure got a lot of people defensive about how in their case it's not because it's a man....not sure if it's a reading comprehension problem or what...

Thank god I'm not the only one who found that part of the article off. I would be happy to have another *person* there too, man or woman, because there is strength in numbers. The fact that my partner is a man doesn't make that situation any safer than if my partner was a woman. That's all.

That's her stage name.

Or society could change it's values so that it isn't more lucrative to be a dancer than an educator?

I don't believe she is white. Her dad looks hispanic. This doesn't mean the criticisms don't apply about cultural appropriation though.

Probably varied, but it is a public school in New York.

Losing your virginity is often a scary event for women (due to worrying about it hurting) and so their muscles are tense, which makes it hurt. When you are aroused, your vagina will more easily accommodate penetration.

If you're talking about the small "diamond" shaped area, that is not the same thing they are referring to when they say thigh gap. They mean the thighs literally don't touch anywhere when you put the knees together.

Hip shape and width, yes. I have no idea. It doesn't look more or less attractive, so I don't get it.

Smaller penises were the beauty ideal. Large ones were vulgar, comical, and gross. I think it may have had something to do with their preference for young males. I imagine future cultures will question our art similarly regarding women's bodies...
