Isn't it legal and regulated in Columbia? Way to shame these sex workers.

Wrong, the Yes means Yes law allows for vigorous physical consent without verbal consent.

It's okay, I hate deconstructed anything. Also #friesoneverything. #primantilife

I was in until you said deconstructed. If I wanted just the ingredients, I'd skip the restaurant.

You are missing the enthusiastic physical consent that undertones my example.

Agreed, my convincing usually just means I offer the person a ride home in the morning (if their reason for not staying is they have something early or work). It is pretty effective. "Hey, I'll set my alarm and drive you home." Oh, thanks, "Yes" I think I will stay the night. Boom convinced in the affirmative.

I was under the impression that Affirmative Consent still allowed you to "convince" (god I wish their was a less creepy way to say that) your partner to sleep with you. It just means at the end of the "convincing", there is a firm "yes" instead of the absence of the a "no."

When you cite the cancer risks of fracking, you should cite scientific research, not a .org that gets their citations from more anti-fracking websites.

I was corrected by another poster. It was the serpentine belt. It wasn't my car, so I really wasn't invested. I just knew I changed a belt.

That is a distinct possibility. It was my buddies car and I was the only one with tools. He was directing the show.

I am fairly certain it took 20 minutes to change one on a Jeep Liberty. You just untensioned the tensioner and fed in the belt. Maybe it was a different belt, but it was really easy.

Depending on what happens, street harassment is legal (bad policy). Assuming no touching or threats happen, it isn't against the law.

Well they did tell me I shouldn't of had such a nice phone or watch in that area. I assume that would count as victim blaming.

I would never presume to speak to what every woman knows or does. I am glad you are comfortable speaking for all women. I will use you as a sounding board in the future.

I don't have to imagine a fake situation. I was mugged in college. I was walking down the street and got punched in the temple. I was knocked out and robbed (watch/wallet/phone). The police told me they don't investigate property crimes under $2,000 dollars and if I didn't see anything, they couldn't find anyone.

Aren't most common sense tips geared towards people with no common sense? Sure, you are intelligent and know things. Some people are super dumb and don't. (I am not saying only dumb people are at risk for rape, I am saying only dumb people have made it this far in life without know general safety tips).

Well yeah, that is how information campaigns work. For instance, click it or ticket, everyone knows to buckle their seat-belt. Or breast cancer awareness. It is certainly overkill even if it isn't bad advice.

They are geared toward potential victims, much like some of the advice given.

I am substantially more likely to have a violent crime committed against me. I am not trying to play the who is more likely to have something bad happen to me game. If the advice works at all, you should do it. If you don't, it still isn't your fault if something bad happens, but for your personal safety, it may…

That isn't true though, we have tons of anti-terror advice campaign. "If you see something, say something (Brought to you by the NYC MTA). "Is this your bag?" etc. etc.
