You know it’s gotten bad when you feel creepy wearing your own bathrobe alone in your own home!

I dunno, I’ve known so many creepy kinky “shibari masters” who go for the whole kimono/robe thing that this isn’t news.

Great. Another thing ruined by assholes.

Sex is a desire, not a need. Food, air, water... these are needs. Trying to provide a good quality of life for a person with major cognitive issues is important, but sex isn’t a need and toddlers can’t consent. It gets tricky when people are further along developmentally but still dependent, but at this end of the…

I can say with a degree of certainty that I’m absolutely 100% sure, in a way that I have never been about anything else in my life, that I would not trust a man - any man, not a hook up, boyfriend, potential husband material, etc. - to take a goddamn pill every day, and alternatively to be honest about taking one. I…

I can see the argument if they’re talking about it as a supplement to existing birth control. The odds of fucking up 2 (or 3) forms of birth control simultaneously are a lot lower than fucking up just 1.

I know I felt a strong sense of relief when I got a vasectomy, even though my wife never stopped taking the pill -…

I know you *shouldn’t* laugh at misandry on principle but I cackled uncontrollably at this.

I don’t understand your point. I get what you’re reaching for but, in this case, this guy was not an adult or even teenager, who was “locked in” a body that couldn’t communicate.

She raped that man. It’s just that simple. And she lied to and cheated his family.

And, yeah, I know there are assholes on both sides and women can lie about being on the pill too.

Guys would just lie about being on it to get bareback.

His perspective is missing because he’s been carefully evaluated and found to have the cognitive capacity of a toddler. If he could communicate, specialists would have found a method to facilitate some communication. What she was doing was complete woo.

A Tom and Abby wedding special would be good but number one on my wish list would be a wedding special for AJ and Andre.

I’m not sure where the line should be drawn, but if someone has the mental capacity of a toddler, there’s no way they could have a consensual sexual encounter. I’d think the tricky part comes with folks who have more moderate intellectual disabilities, where they could understand and desire sex, and communicate…

I’ve followed this story for years and read every detail of it. It disgusts me that this rapist is now only getting four years. She’s a delusional nutcase who raped a man who has the mental capacity of a toddler. There’s no other side to it.

“how the hell an ethics professor misses the red lights”

The general phenomenon, of which this is a specific illustration, is probably that anyone who has received prestige as an Ethics professor knows a million fancy ways to rationalize to themselves whatever they want to do anyway, under this or that alternative argument (and also a million fancy ways to condemn the…

I appreciate the fact that you took the time to put the appropriate amount of works in your comment

Nah, I choose to believe that they’re in it for real, and made an comment about a Netflix special kinda jokingly, the way you joke about things you really want to happen but are pretty sure probably won’t happen but are making a joke about just in case it can nudge people in the right direction. People do that all the…

Now they all are outta work, work, work, work, work, work, work.
