The history buff in me cringes at the mentions of Chivalry:

But, Texas has a 36 month exception to age of consent. An 18 and 16 year old dating could not, under any circumstances, violate age of consent laws. What law did they allege was being violated?

Talking to scientists who have studied this, the misuse of antibiotics by over prescription and patients not following instructions has had a far greater impact.

Randall Munroe nailed it:

I hear you. My situation was not unique. I saw others treated like I was and like you describe. I was never suspended, though. I suspect this is because my parents would ask questions and learn that I was not the aggressor, that the same set of kids attacked me repeatedly and the administrators and teachers had done…

That is the story of me in Middle and High School. When I was bullied I fought back because stupid, naive adults told me to and it felt good to punch someone who hit me. Nearly every time I fought back, I got into trouble, but the administrators and teachers ignored the ones who started the fights. One time I was…

Did you tell her why and she does not understand, or is it so obvious to you that you are assuming it is obvious to her?

Nothing is too small? Really? What are some examples of actions or situations that were considered "too small" and nobody called when it was actually serious?

You realize orgasm and pleasure can be dissociated, right? You might assume the orgasm is inherently pleasurable because you only experience it in times of intense pleasure. However, like hunger and the desire to eat*, whether a taste is delicious or nauseating, feeling a cut and feeling punishing pain and other pairs…

Yes, I know, and there is an introduction and conclusions for sub sections. I don't roll that way. If I do it, I do it correctly. Even if the summary or abstract are supported by the data (I rarely doubt they are), if I am not looking at the experimental design and reading the results and checking the references, I…

Wow, 213 pages. I do not care enough about this to read this report any time soon. Thanks for the tip, though.

Searching PubMed, the overwhelming majority of research seems to be on:

I was always under the impression that the funnier women had more sex partners.

I agree 100%. You do not need to make up anything about the pro life movement to excoriate their positions.

If you are serious, I hope they have also taught them about the 5th and 6th Amendments because you might need them if you handle your family problems with assault. Just saying...

I think you are confused. It is a 10 foot rod, not a 10 foot "pole." There is an important difference... I am being sarcastic, of course. I find such semantics silly, too.

Afraid is not the correct word. The reason to not offend someone is not that you are afraid of their offense. I have never intervened because I was warned not to do so over 20 years ago by my mother, my sister and more than one female friend (unless there is ongoing physical violence). It seemed unanimous and has not…

"onlookers intervened in only 21 percent of the incidents of sexual aggression, which is a dismally low number"

She was in jail because she could not come up with bond money. She was in jail, not prison. In other words, she was awaiting resolution of her case. The author linked to the original story.

Oh, sorry, I work at a university. I do have access.
