Hours and hours and hours and hours and HOURS of fights and unbelievably long and exhausting conversations just to fuck a few extra people?? No thanks. Ain't nobody got time for that.

Sounds like the younger guys you knew were just a little immature.

Really? You think everyone who was posting those offensive comments was white? Everyone? Mmm-hmmm, tell me more about these people and their tunnel vision.

It is a good sign. I wonder what the larger cities in India have when it comes to things like rape crisis centers? I tried searching around on the net but couldn't really come up with anything. In many rural areas and smaller towns in the US, rape crisis centers are pretty much non existent but men and women still…

Exactly. I really get frustrated when I read things like, "Who rapes a 70 year old!?" in the comments. Like the woman is too old and unattractive to be attacked, and who in their right mind would do that. Whether 20 or 70, no one should experience sexual assault and there should always be outrage against the crime. No…

So glad you're around in these threads to share some straight talk and also detailed history. It's saddening but also helpful. Thank you for the effort.

If you really didn't need to know, why not just change the topic? Gently ask about her thoughts or feelings about how life has changed if you don't want to hear about the nitty gritty? Also, giving birth can be pretty traumatic; god forbid a friend discuss it with someone she trusts. :/

Along with more stories about people living in cabins and on farms and away from light pollution, I'd like to read more stories about your life growing up in EE.

I need so many more stories like this.

Thanks for the invite. I'll bring some whiskey and homemade cookies.

Also I can back a day later to post that what that priest did is a horrible injury and should not have happened. That is absolutely horrible and while not rape, those kinds of violations can still leave lasting impact. For some priests can be like father stand ins. Yuck.

Hugs to you. There has to be some way to find a kindred spirit. Meetup for mums? Playgroups? I so wish you didn't have to feel alone.

Ugh, it's true. You didn't take it out on your wee ones. You sweet woman. What a wonderful story. I hope you and your family are well.

Netherlands rule.

Or how about the fact that COMPLETE STRANGERS will jump into a gang rape circus on a bus or wherever just because it's happening. Yes, sexual assault and other horrific crimes happen everywhere but there is something especially surreal and terrifying about being alone and all of a sudden having one rapist make the…

You are amazing and this post is amazing and I'm sad that it's Friday night and most people will be too drunk and will miss this post.

She had the sense and ambition to make something of the company while he had some pretty weird boundary issues. Go watch it again. Also, bitches get shit done.

Every culture throughout the ages uses horror and death via "entertainment" for catharsis and fear exploration, though. Did no one ever read you fairy tales when you were younger?

Awww, you guys. It'll be ok. I promise.

You should find yourself a Jungian therapist! You'd have fun!
