@frugal: That is a GREAT line of thinking. "He doesn't objectify ME, so whatevs."

@jezehell: Yes, but you insinuated that both Sarah and I were defending this woman because we, ourselves, like to flash our breasts. Which, though it is not the case, is irrelevant, and added nothing to the argument. In fact, it derailed the discussion.

@jezehell: These situations do not exist in a vaccuum.

@rollergirl76: I have seen it — the barroom scene seems to be a staple of rape crisis center training. I think it perfectly captures how terrifying it is to be sexually assaulted, and a lot of people would benefit from watching it.

@tiny_danza: Because s/he can control nudity.

@stinkfactor: Some college campuses do offer such classes, whether for credit or as part of a sexual assault counselor training program. The first organization I worked with was in the town I went to college in, but not affiliated with the university. The organization I work with now is through a hospital here in NYC.

@jezehell: OK, seriously? Did you really just say that to Sarah? She is the last person I'd expect to flash a GGW crew, because she has tremendous self-respect. I'm in the same camp, but I recognize that this is because I was raised in an egalitarian household where I was taught that my self-worth did not depend on my…

@KittenFluff: BTW, I have undergone two extensive sexual assault counselor training programs and have four years of experience as a hospital and phone counselor. I am a certified couselor in New York State. In other words, I am not pulling this shit out of my ass. Before I went through the first training program, I…

@jezehell: I am talking about a class specifically about sexual assault awareness. Taught by experts in the field, who have more knowledge than you do. Yes, personal responsibility is important, but nothing a person can do makes it his/her fault when s/he is sexually assaulted. Sexual assault victims already deeply…

@jezehell: Seriously, you lack compassion. And you obviously have no understanding of the intracacies of sexual assault. Please take a class. Immediately.

@stoprobbers: Have you read the article I posted above? Please do. Francis is a rapist. And he physically attacked a reporter for the LA Times who was doing a story on him.

@jezehell: I'm guessing you are also one of those people who believe prostitutes cannot be victims of rape?

@jezehell: Dear God, please take a class on sexual assault awareness.

@jezehell: There is no such thing as "begging for harassment." Similarly, there is no such thing as a rape-able offense.

@Easybreezy: An understanding that women are human beings, not objects. Which he will never have.

@morninggloria: @screwtapeletters: Agreed. Especially based on the information in this article: [www.latimes.com]

I'm not at all shocked that a member of the GGW crew would (allegedly) sexually assault someone.

@KittenFluff: *expanding. Gah!

I supposedly look like Patricia Clarkson (or I did in college before my face started expanded exponentially), so I'm glad she was a Do!

I thought "SOS" was Pussycat Dolls and felt guilty for liking it. What a weight off my shoulders!
