Can you imagine if everyone created a memorial in the place someone died?

Of course we do, we do it all the time, but death is a sensitive subject to confront. Public spaces don't just belong to the grieving.

No one is saying that the family can't grieve after a week, but that they don't have a right to take over public space as a memorial indefinitely. Can you imagine if everyone did that anytime someone died in a public way? Or even private? Would you want a room in a nursing home with memorials to every person who…

When I was in junior high, it was Polo.

It's also an ownership attitude. I made you, so your body and mind belong to me; you are not an independent human until the law makes you that way.

Well, girls are apples just waiting for some guy to pick them off the tree, right?

OK, let's assume you're a decent dad (it's not an easy leap for me, but I'll try and take it), and your daughter is comfortable talking to you about her sex life, her vagina, her ovaries...and all her womanly bits. Great, she's going to come to you and talk about that with you.

Because "slippery slope" is a fallacious argument.

Just because someone doesn't have a huge amount of self-confidence or has some trouble be assertive does NOT mean they are incompetent of making decisions for themselves. I find it funny that you think someone who lacks the confidence to stand up for their rights should be denied plan B (and likely also an abortion)…

Doesn't sound like the author was confronted very publicly OR vocally. The guy muttered something and she was the one who escalated the confrontation by verbally antagonizing the guy. Then, when that wasn't enough, she deliberately made physical contact AFTER the guy was a sleep. The author comes across as a…

LOL...a guy has a RIGHT to proposition someone for sex? A RIGHT??? Tell me you're just trolling.

Well, that's blasphemy. There's no mention of GOD! My relatives would all send this out, but it would have to have god and jeebus mentioned at least half a dozen times.

I've never understood how colleges can prevent victims from going to the cops off-campus and how they seem to have control over the process and whether or not a rapist is even prosecuted.

So, a "known" prostitute can't be out, going about her business (the non-sex-for-money type), without fearing unlawful arrest because, well, she's a whore...what rights does she have?

Why do you think her past arrests should be relevant when at the time of this arrest there was no probable cause for her soliciting and instead the cops solely used her clothing as grounds for making the arrest?

It's that you think your experience is what everyone experiences and are dismissing a common experience of many women who DO get those comments.

He may find someone who meets much of that on the surface, he'll idolize her and then when she shows herself to be human, he'll devalue her and likely treat her like crap for not living up to his fantasy. Of course, I just wasted years of my life being married to a narcissistic psychopath (idolize, devalue,…

No one else in the 80s was being suffocated in their classrooms by 15 pre-teen boys marinated in Polo cologne? I'd rather breathe in the sweat of an entire Polo team and their horses than choke on that cologne.

Well, if you think physical contact means zombies grabbing at your leg rather than being pushed up against a wall and having your neck licked, then there actually IS a lack of true consent. It would be the same with doing a public fetish scene with an agreement for X activity and then Y and Z being included.

The problem is that woman's entire premise that she's doing this because we're all sexually repressed. You can have adult content without the need to include licking someone's neck.
