Exactly. I'm not a parent, but I've babysat for quite a few toddlers, and they are incredibly smart and attempt to be manipulative. Toddlers are at the point where they've already developed a lot of human survival techniques like lying but haven't learned the societal standards of behavior that go along with those…

I should have phrased that more clearly. He never said that to me, and I honestly don't think he thought he "deserved" anything. He was very, very drunk (more so than I) and much larger. He overpowered me trying to make out with me, couldn't hear me as I was muffled, and just kept progressing. When I was finally able…

Agreed. My sexual assault did not come from a place of power; it came from a drunk friend who though I shared his feelings and moved forward without consent. I believe that often acquaintance/date rape comes from the same place; it was not about asserting their male power, but about them refusing to recognize signals…

I completely agree with this. I feel that they idea that rape is about power reduces other factors; when I was sexually assaulted, the person was a friend who had apparently been very attracted to me, thought the feelings were the same, and tried to get what he thought was coming to him. Was it about power? Yes,…

Then everybody knows that they have followed God's divine plan of marrying one person and sticking with them no matter how much they hate each other*, unlike the heathen sluts.

Agreed. Although there aren't any in my area and I've only had Chick-Fil-A couple of times, I see this as being similar to refusing to shop at Wal-Mart. Sure, I would save money if I went to there, but it's important to me that I not support that.

The media tried to get in contact with the wives, but they were zonked out in their afternoon "wine and xanax" nap, a la Betty Draper, or assisting the pool buy in cleaning the filter.

Yea, there have been a couple of times where very close guy friends of mine have complained about this, and I was close enough to be very blunt and point out that the other guy wasn't an asshole, he was just more conventionally attractive. Did they like it? No, but they did have to admit that I was right.

There's a whole lot of space between a girl actively giving you her number or asking you out and thinking that any woman who doesn't recoil in horror in your presence wants to bone you.

Uhm, being a friendly person in customer service is not a "trick." There may be some girls who play it up, but I never did.

I've used this line a couple of times...there seem to be some guys (not all) who really don't understand that guess what? Women like hot guys, too! We want someone who gets us wet, and if you don't, it's not going to happen. Does it suck for you that I don't find you attractive? Sure. But if you're not going to date a…

Any woman who has spent time as a coffee shop girl knows this. Apparently, a smiling hello and remembering what they drink since they come in every day means you're "leading them on."

Oh, I understand that. I'm an atheist myself but was raised Evangelical, and my parents and little sister are excellent examples of liberal Christians who really do follow Jesus' values. I still think that the teachings of Jesus are wonderful moral guidance. I completely respect the rights of religious people who…

If you shoot the wrong assailant, he'll be sent to Heaven with Jesus. Win-Win!

Same here...thankfully, I snagged his American little brother (as I call the boyfriend.) Sure, he lacks the charming accent, but he makes up for it by looking like David Tennant.

Hey, sometimes those stubborn indigenous people just won't see that Jesus is about peace and love, so you have to kill them. What are you gonna do about it?

Yea, if we're talking about cheap drink-to-get-drunk beers, Labatt and Molson are miles ahead of their American counterparts.

If Jesus wants you get better, you will. Otherwise you will die from dirty sinning and heathenism.

As do I...my parents are conservative Christians who accept that I have sex but pretend I don't, and the last thing I'd want them to find when they are already grief stricken is my under-bed restraint kit, whips, etc.

Yes, because being uncomfortable with someone jerking it in public around children=prudish sense of sexual shame.
