Saw Duran Duran last night from the second row. The show was KILLER. Nile Rodgers and Chic opened, and they brought the damned house down.

The toughest situation taught me, I need to trust my own judgment and speak up for myself. That gets me into trouble when I don't.

As cliche as it sounds I learned that I am strong than I think I am. A few years old I ended up homeless after my relationship broke down due to my mental illness. I had tried to commit suicide and was living in a homeless shelter but will help of a fantastic charity and very lovely lady called Elaine I got through…

Bwahaha. I thought Mark Anthony as in Anthony and Cleopatra and it was like one of those bogus Marilyn Monroe quotes

I agree with you in regards to both levels of this — in terms of both violence/rape and also people dealing with themselves.

Most rapists have girlfriends or wives.

I was about to step away from the computer for the night but saw this and had to share:

RIGHT? Just, “take your shoes off and come out here with the fleas and mosquitos” is basically welcoming 24 hours of misery. I like my outdoors paved, thanks.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Rape is not about access to sex, or lack of confidence. The onus of rape prevention must always be on people respecting each others’ boundaries, and not the responsibility of the female gender to have representatives willing to take ugly dick for the team before they grow violent.…

Hey there. I wanted to ask you a kind of philosophical question (and I may even pose this question on Saturday Night Social tomorrow): Do you think it’s possible for a man who believes feminist ideals (e.g. equal pay for equal work, that a woman should have the right to chose and control over their own body, etc.),…

I hate that pseudo profound shit, The Weeknd. Only 15 year olds and 40 year old white teachers buy into that shit

Prostitution is legal in my country. Although it’s great that sex workers have legal rights and are somewhat protected by the state, you’re wrong about it reducing rape/male violence against women. My country has some of the worst violence against women statistics in the world, including rape and domestic abuse.…

“and am extremely pro-sex-worker.”

I’ve read a few biographies of courtesans in the 18th and 19th century, and many of the most successful were neither pretty or young. One woman is reported to have had a young—late teens—man come to her to find out why she was so popular, as she was then around 70 years old (she must have taken really good care of…

Well said.

Men who don’t have sex for a while tend to get very pent up and bitter, and very very unhealthy mentally, because they wrap so much of their self worth up in their ability to have sex.

I love it every time that you post. You get a lot of really awful responses sometimes, but you have actual information and it’s a wonderful treat whenever you share your perspective. Thank you, and please don’t stop.

As long as it’s better than that godawful movie.

Does the work negatively affect your ability to connect with others, specifically men in what would be considered “normal” relationships. Do you enjoy the work but say you regret having to make the choice to do it?

Best wishes to you. It’s shitty that people give you flack for a job you previously held. I suspect former Enron and BP employees (who quantifably killed people) can speak of their previous jobs without shame. But you can’t because reasons.
