There’s also the feeling that the person who commited the crime will 1) not experience adequate reperussions 2) if they do, they still will not feel adequate remorse. I guess this is just another way of saying “lack of control,” but there exists a hopeless feeling that there will never be adequate justice that sets…

Cosigned. He was also absolutely fascinating to listen to. http://www.npr.org/2013/06/21/193…

Rape is also a crime of power, where the victim feels helpless and out of control. Telling themselves that it was their own fault is a very common way of taking power back; changing the narrative so that the situation was due to their own actions - even wrong ones- allows them to feel like they aren’t so powerless.

We all need to feel in control of our own lives and destinies. That, coupled with the heavy undercurrent of victim-blaming we’ve all been socialized into, makes that reaction next to impossible to fight. :(

Hello, fellow maracucha (your avatar *is* Maracaibo, right? ). I came to say exactly what you just said.

Nothing is funnier than hearing men talk about something they know nothing about. “No, no bro, I swear, she had, like sextuple D’s!” Sure, bro. Sure.

you were far more kind than i.

i don’t think it was flippant. everyone’s stories enrich the whole.

People like going to clubs and watching people tell jokes on stage. What’s next? People will watch video of people who go to clubs to watch people tell jokes on a stage? When will it end? .... ....

I was praying for some Jez drama today, and this self righteous know it all really has not disappointed

Okay, since you read the infographic, care to address any of the points it made?

Well, the fact that you have a right to your opinion is obvious. You seemed to be upset that people didn’t like your opinions. I mean, I can ask the same of you: Where did anyone say that you didn’t have a right to your opinion?

It’s only going too far in your opinion because you could not resist it. I’ve done just fine resisting the “biological imperative” to procreate.

My family is vegan can I get a special dispensation for more babies please sir?

You did actually read it, right? I mean, if the overpopulation isn’t as big of an issue as we think it is, you should be relieved.

yes, but not always socialism (as i pointed out upstream but i am a gray); let us not forget that the church actively persecuted those who taught liberation theology (although, hey, it existed!) in the 1970’s/80’s and that the church was supremely complicit in fascist dictatorships in el salvador, in chile, in…

Oh sure. But not every opinion is worth the same.

Among other things...

My future children are going to be hard motherfuckers from District 1. Y’all have been warned
