Yeah, I’m a woman of color and I think framing this as a competition for who gets to be chosen by hot white guys is missing the point about as much as it’s possible to.

Do we really have to make it about who gets “chosen” by men? A woman’s worth and beauty is not based on whether or not a hot dude wants to fuck her. I agree with your second sentiment though!

I think you might mean well (I hope) so I’m actually going to respond to this.

Referring to women as “females” definitely helps your credibility here...

Choosing to cheat on your partner is never an “honest mistake.” An honest mistake implies that a person does not realize the thing they are doing is wrong. If a person honestly believed that it was ok to cheat, they would have no reason to hide it.

People like to use the “everyone cheats” or “humans are just not monogamous” arguments to justify their own priorities and poor impulse control, but man, what a weak excuse. If you can’t be faithful to one person, ok, but you need to be up front about that, and they need to be able to choose whether or not your…

Don’t die, bro. You’ve got this.

If your partner already fears the worst, fess up. You’ll cause them way more psychological anguish by denying that it happened. There’s nothing more tormenting that knowing something in your gut, but having your lover repeatedly deny it.

Not funny...nothing in your post is funny.

But to my point—are you arguing that no child of 14 has ever been mature beyond his/her years with regards to sexual discretion?

It is also beyond question that individuals are often outliers from particular groups....But I would also imagine that there are 13- and 14-year-old girls who already have the decision-making skills of an average 18- or 19-year-old.

I compared the Bowie story to drunk driving. Just because it doesn’t seem like there were any victims in this particular encounter, it doesn’t mean that what he did wasn’t wrong. I’m glad Lori Maddox has nothing but good feelings about everything that transpired, but Bowie was the adult in the situation, and he was…

I loved Bowie’s music, but a 14 year old can’t legally consent. He’s a rapist whether she liked the experience or not.

Nobody fucks with DeJesus.

Holy fuck...but you know, having guns is the most important thing...

There is a documentary in the works! I backed it on Kickstarter!

Middlemarch. Hands down. It’s got that piercing insight into small-town life that I love, paired with Eliot’s deep human sympathies and incredible wit. It’s one of those books that not only showed me a slice of the world, but taught me to know myself better. It’s beautiful, and powerful, and I cannot recommend it…

Do you not know what that means? It’s not about being ashamed you’re white.

Not a single person anywhere on this thread or in the post said you should be ashamed. Not a one. Literally no where. Perhaps listen to the song and reread the post.

Yeah, why didn’t this protester with a small sign lay out a detailed 10-year plan to reform public school funding in Chicago, retrain police in use of force and implement community oversight of the department, and create a jobs program for the city?
