Let me see if I understand this. This writer is ostensibly trying to present her positively, yet describes her as "earnest as quinoa?" I get that the writer is probably trying to be clever, but "earnest as quinoa?" Earnest as quinoa. That phrase is going to rattle around in my brain for at least the next for…

I dunno. Vegan farts are kind of unstoppable.

legally, no it's not, and I 100% would not try it with someone, ever, unless we'd talked about how it was something one or both of us wanted to try, and the other person agreed that it sounded fun.

Yup. And somehow the need for all that communication ahead of time hasn't stopped people who are into BDSM from having sex. It's almost like it's a strong drive that people will do lots of things to satisfy.

I'm glad you mentioned that men are victims, too, and that rape and sexual assault also occur in non-heterosexual pairings.

For real. I've had sex where I've been "coaxed out of my comfort zone" and I wouldn't consider it rape at all, but it was definitely terrible and unsatisfying.

"California's affirmative consent law requires affirmative consent to be obtained before a sex act qualifies as "consensual."

The truth is that, except in the first flush of infatuation, both partners are rarely equally excited. At any given moment, one person wants sex more passionately than the other. What's more, whether due to nurture or nature, there is usually a difference in tempo between men and women, with women generally requiring…

And someone who requires convincing is not yet in a position to offer "affirmative" much less "enthusiastic" consent.

The truth is that, except in the first flush of infatuation, both partners are rarely equally excited. At any given moment, one person wants sex more passionately than the other.

I'm tired of this. We focus on teaching women not to be raped; now we are starting to focus on teaching everyone around a potential victim to stop her from getting raped. There is still so little that is actually geared towards the criminal themselves.

I never watched 7th Heaven. Apart from the super uncomfortable and ridiculous heavy religious overtones, the father just creeped me out so bad. That rictus grin, those watery cow eyes... *shudders* 13 year old me had good instincts.

Yes, this is irrefutable proof that the "fappening" is as much (if not more) about power than sexual desire. How dare a woman speak out about having private pictures stolen and disseminated? Let's put her in her place! *massive eyeroll*

That's literally exactly why they are tormenting her. They feel entitled to women's bodies, especially attractive women and double especially for celebrities. So when these women don't play by the script (Apologizing like THEY did something wrong when it's the hackers who are the ones who are bad) they want to punish…

Good GOD, give this woman a break. Why are they tormenting her? Because she won't take it quietly? This makes me sick...

Literally Hitler? Really? Literally? Hitler?

We punished them by wanting freedom and not wanting to be slaves.. :'( :'( WHAT HAVE WE DONE?!!shiftone!

Don't be ridiculous. You punish white people by existing in the first place!

I thought we punished white people by going to their schools and marrying into their families.

Thank you for your calm and genuinely nice critique. I have put a lot of thought into my original comment since I wrote it. I have come to realize that I did not word it the best. I was in between meetings and rushed. It is hard not to get defensive when people jump down your throat though. Rather than taking the time…
