This issue is definitely touchy (no pun intended). My cousin was sexually abused when he was just 5 years old and acted out a lot of sexually inappropriate behaviour to the point wherein no school wanted him around. He never physically touched anyone else but he would make lewd comments. At age 10, he hung himself…

"My point, and others' points on here, is why do we have to go through the filter of how a white man sees injustice when the person going through the injustice can write about it themselves."

I bet he did start puberty quite late and something tells me he still isn't an actualized adult. I think you're correct that "reach puberty" does mean the beginning of the process but his ages were confusing since 14-15 is when females usually complete pubescent maturation. One fact remains: this man is an idiot.

Gross. It would make me think of his disgusting ass. He had much more vulgar threats as well.

I've only known one guy who was actually from Iran and he still is the only one to threaten to rape me. He grabbed my shoulders and I told him to let go and he said, "you think you can decide? I can have you if I want you". Lovely guy. He was friends with my roommate. He threatened me a few more times and I…

This guy! ugh!!!! He's so full of shit. His little scientific fact is incorrect. Females do not "reach" puberty at age 9 or 10. Females begin puberty at age 11 or 12 and outliers do begin at 9 or 10 but we do not "reach" or complete till around age 14 or 15. For some reason his "facts" gross me out because it…

The US military outed her as transsexual BEFORE her official announcement so how is it a timed strategy. She's never denied her transsexual identity. Any cursory search will reveal that this is not new information. In fact, it was presented at trial by a psychologist. ( http://www.courthousenews.com/2012/03/13/446……

My husband is Finnish and he has a mighty beard. Suomalainen sisu!

Men grow beards to hide all their deep dark secrets. This is the same reason that some women have big hair. You can hide years of pain within those hair chambers.

No offense but I grew up in Idaho and you need to give it time. You'll meet them eventually. I met the weirdest nutters in Idaho. Its why I left and will never go back.

As a former Boise resident, I like to point out to non-Idaho Built to Spill fans that the line, "from Ada to Irene" is a reference to the North End of Boise. (this is a complete non-sequitor)

Barbie already had a career as an astronaut in the 80s. I actually really loved my astronaut Barbie because she had awesome tights and fun boots. She also came with a short skirt in case she was going out on the space station for a fun "evening?". I"m not sure how the day / night is structured when you're in space. …

Honestly because the vast majority of people understand that when I say I'm married, it means I'm not trying to hook up with them and understand that it is, in fact, a deterrent. Its the small outliers that seem to be unphased. I just step away from them.

I submitted something to a joke advice column in a magazine and I had dudes sending me messages on facebook. ((((((((((((creeeeeeeeepy))))))))))) The weirder aspect was that in my question, I mentioned that I was happily married. Apparently my name and location got them all worked up?

They can just request a copy from our friendly internet archivists at the NSA.

I have ALWAYS made less than everyone. In my last position, my employer actually told me that she paid me $8 less per hour than the previous person in my position who was also, inept. She would joke about how inept and unskilled that person was and how I was so overqualified for my job and she loved that she got me…

Her fear of The Company is the same mental mechanism that makes organizations like Scientology so fearful for detractors or members who become skeptical. An unseen entity can be incredibly frightening. She probably still fears and believes in The Company.

Sociopathy is not a rare condition. That is a cultural perception. Most sociopaths don't kill or act out in this way though they do tend to violate laws. Societal construct does indeed direct appropriate behaviors because what is prosecuted is what is considered abnormal to society at large. Therefore, if beating…

Awww... Thanks for that. I love my parents.

Seriously, if these fools want cash, I want to see some money dances happening. I'll toss them dollars but they need to earn it with the Mexican money dance.
