When my father was growing up, he had two pairs of pants. It's one of the few stories I know about his childhood, because he didn't talk about it a lot. Then, one day, he came home to see his neighbor wearing his other pair of pants! He was about to do something when his mother grabbed him and said, "That boy's…

I should read the dates on things...but I don't. I have no idea why it popped up as current. You know what's really scary? When people respond to stuff I TOTALLY FORGOT I wrote. At least you remember...and I am sure you are still awesome.

Are you married? Have you ever had a long term relationship? Sometimes, couples with a history of trust and such activities wake one another up with sex. And there might come a time when either the woman or man does NOT want it, for whatever reason. So, the other person, who has already started, should stop. But…

Ogre, don't let ThrewASpannerDarkly's nonsense get to you. You are clearly a great guy and your rapist wife is lucky to have you! ;-) Seriously — you sound awesome and your wife sounds awesome and don't let idiots on Jezebel get to you.

It's the end of the conversation because Ogre took your black and white world and made it grey and you don't know how to respond. The fact is, people in a close relationship DO something initiate sex with their sleeping partner without EVER having discussed it. There exists between them a trust, perhaps a history of…

Link, please.

Many factors went into the implosion of Wall Street. The fact is, a person's character does NOT always tell us what kind of a job he or she will do. I have known wonderful people who really weren't very good at their jobs. I assume they were doing the wrong job, but still — they weren't good. And I have known…

You've been told by numerous guys that once you hit 30 you no longer have any dating value? Well, it was kind of them to let you know they were worthless losers so you could save time you might have wasted dating them.

The US Department of Justice — it's their info. I have no idea where you get your info — some authorless paper online? Uh, no.

Ad hominem attacks — the sign of a weak polemicist. You should stop insulting ME. I have nothing to do with Weiner.

I haven't quoted any feminists. I have given you statistics from the U.S. Bureau of Justice. That is not exactly a feminist organization.

That is the second time you have used an ad hominem attack — it doesn't strengthen your position any. How about you answer some of my questions? Why should I read that? Really? If you can tell me that it has been subject to rigorous peer review by respected institutions, and can prove it, I will take a look at it.…

Who WROTE this? What are the author's credentials? Again — what academic and professional scrutiny has this paper received? I don't even know who the author is — why should I believe anything it says?

Who published this? Who funded it? Why should I read it? What is trustworthy about it? What kind of reviews has it undergone? What academic scrutiny has it been subject to?

What if the husband doesn't want to get divorced? What if he makes it extremely difficult for the wife to leave him? What if their are reasons — health insurance, a family member's illness — that makes divorce impossible? Are you saying, then, that a man who doesn't want a child should be forced to pay for it if he…

Oh, yes — part of that mythical 40% of rape cases. So, now you are saying that men who make women pregnant (or boys who make girls pregnant) were raped. I mean — you are saying the males are victims of rape, but the females, and then they have to pay child support on top of being raped. Sorry, but no one believes…

I am defining rape as forced sex. You claim — with no proof whatsoever — that 40% of rape is woman-on-man. You must know that's not true and you must know that no one will believe you — why do you want people to believe that? What is your real agenda here?

Are you seriously asking a woman to imagine what it is like as a rape victim to be asked by law enforcement that her rape was not a crime? That happens to women EVERY day. I know you believe — because you said you did — that 40% of rape is woman-on-man. That is not true. It's not even possible. As I already told…

You think that 40% of rapes are woman-on-man? Are you insane?

The CDC never, ever found out that 40% of rape was woman-on-man. Maybe in your fantasies. Actually, the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics states that 91% of rape victims are female and 9% are male, and 99% of rapists are male. BTW, that 9% of male rape victims — they are overwhelmingly raped by other men, not by…
