I’m sure there is! My boyfriend is a high school teacher and he usually has a few shots or beers when he gets home.

Yup. That was 100% it.

She was just mad that SHE got a C.

Thank you. I am a little taken aback by the number of responses here that basically equate to: “Tough luck, the syllabus is the syllabus, so suck it up and get naked in front of your professor because art.” Ummmmm, no. And it’s not OK just because there is a substitute requirement to “get emotionally naked.”*

I’m not a teacher but good lord, dealing with some of my idiot classmates, I always wonder how you people do it. Do you know how many times I (as a student) have told someone else to stop bitching about not knowing something because it’s in the fucking syllabus? The same syllabus that the professor said on the first…

I do know something about art and I am a performance artist and this is just ridiculous and offensive. No one should have to perform naked in a college course at any age or level. The dude is clearly a pervert who is totally getting off on this. This is absolutely unnecessary. I also happen to have taught a little,…

Did you go to SF State, Mark? Because I also had to write the summary of my sexual history and watch porn in a group setting.

Yeah, I ended up cutting off the friends who were stupid about this whole thing. And I don’t mean stupid as in didn’t know how to handle it.

is there a nearby women’s/dv shelter? they would be able to help with legal stuff/safety stuff/visa stuff most likely!

In some countries (like the US), you can be eligible for some kind of visa or residency status if you were the victim of a crime committed while in that country and you assist the police in solving that crime. It is, however, always very difficult to claim eligibility when you are currently in a country unlawfully.

If you haven’t responded to or acknowledged his attempts at contact yet, then I would continue not acknowledging it or responding to it. Responding, even to tell him to stop, could just make it increase since he would then know his actions got you to respond.

Go with the emergency fund. You’ll be used to not spending that part of the money, and if the relationship goes tits-up (because I’m a terrible pessimist), you’ll have first/last/rent in hand to find a new place.

Yes, of course, ‘yes means anal’ is just a harmless joke, and certainly not a perpetuation and defense of rape culture. Oh, wait a second....

I felt so cold and unhappy after reading that. My father was very open about not wanting me because I am female. Being unwanted is a horrible thing to bear.
