You don't know what the fuck you are talking about. That is not stockholm syndrome. At all.

Sulkowicz says Nungesser held her down and forcibly anally raped her. She doesn't claim something ambiguous.

I'm sorry, but someone isn't just being "polite" when they giddily accept an invitation to a party and when they ask to hook up again...with their rapist.

I'm both a victim of rape and of child abuse. I have written kind words to my teenaged abuser (whom I believe to be a good adult now), but I sincerely have tons of trouble with the idea of telling my acquaintance rapist, weeks after the rape, that I need to have a "NonServiam-Rapist love sesh" because I haven't seen…

It's regularly used as a noun. "When comparing females to males at the company..." and the like. It doesn't offend me when used that way, even if it is using female as a noun, because it's doing the same by using males.

Yes, true, but as I said to another commenter, it's used pretty regularly as a noun. "Females at X company make, on average, less than males in the same or similar positions" and that kind of thing. It just doesn't seem offensive in that context, probably because it's congruent since men are also being referred to as…

Yes but that's not the only way it comes up. It's sometimes used as a noun. "Females at the company make, on average, less than males in the same or similar jobs"; or "Plaintiff, a female, alleges that...." and that kind of thing. But, typically in those documents and discussions men are referred to as "males" so it…

Well, your experience counters the theory offered here: That using "females" is a sexist attempt to strip women of their subjectivity.

man theres a lot as a former college athlete i take issue with some of these points

Sherman's comments and that line of rhetoric is played out. You're playing D1 football on a large stage, with all the social perks that come with that and a chance to play football and make millions on the horizon, and getting a college degree for free...spare me the "I'm so busy and broke" bullshit- so is everybody…

That's good to hear!

Somehow I suspect the letter itself was the impetus for a lot of those canceled RSVPs.

I'm a Times New Roman in the streets and a Wingdings in the sheets.

Well, yes. We, as a group, assume that King Neptune is attended by strippers as part of his royal retinue.

Merlan, you worked at the Observer. Dallas is one of the titty bar capitals in our fine country so I can tell you that Emma is wrong on a few points. You NEVER take your credit card to a strip club. They WILL overcharge you since you are usually drunk and defenseless by the time the tab comes. That's how the…

Pretty much all of your horrified fantasies of us all arriving as a nervous giggly unexpected mob of 60 stingy assholes who only brought $40 each/did not tip/generally behaved in an obnoxious and disrespectful way are false.

Yea I bet if this letter alone didn't make 40 less people show up her personality would have.

Back before my face and body submitted to gravity, I spent two years shaking my ass at a relatively 'classy' chain in the south. We had to wear gowns on the floor while cruisin' for customers, and if some of the more *assertive* ladies happened to catch anyone giving extras in the VIP, they would get the shit kicked…

I just...nope.

I was a sailor for 10 years we blew more than $40 in the first half hour.

They are going to ruin that club's night.

I love how she considers herself part of a 'safe crowd' that the strippers will be happy to see.

HA.

The strippers were happy to see corrupt, jaded, chauvinistic pigs like the lot of sailors I…
