Same in Art school and art history. :/ I remember being a confident person out of undergrad, then grad school... It was like if I said anything it was bad. If I spoke up and had a different view (which was supported by evidence) I was a terrible person. My colleagues looked at me like I was awful. I use to get told…

It was an interesting book. A lot different things in there. I remember lock picking and a few of the different explosives. For me it was more like 'huh, so this is how stuff is made, neat!" I have a bit of rage monster inside of me, I would also be devastated if I ever hurt anyone.

That can work. I use this in situations when I'm feeling good. It's typically on bad days or when I'm not expecting an attack because it comes out of nowhere when I am typically disarmed. e.g Doctor's office's with terrible staff and in front of an entire waiting room.

You never have to give specifics! ^_^ I'd like to think it wasn't common. After some of the crap I've been through I'm always a little worried that I am gonna fully transform into a rage monster.

Ya reading the Anarchist's handbook when I was in HS certainly scared people back then. It was also concurrent to Columbine, which also helped stopped things. But when you are 29, and stuff goes down, it's pretty hard to play the imaginary violence card. Maybe because I am mentally ill, I don't really like using that…

Exactly! It's frustrating. Then you labelled with 'a history of abuse' and then get assigned to group therapy because there's clearly something wrong with ME. /eyeroll It's not me. Yes, I could be more assertive, but it's been my experience that is doesn't work. These people are manipulative. I don't know what it is…

I have no idea how to deal with bullies. When I was bullied in HS, I went the conceal don't feel route. When it happened again in my late twenties I told fucking everyone, and went into therapy. Both made me feel isolated and alone because in neither situation no one had a bloody clue what to say to me other than…

WTF No WUNDERBAR??? What grave injustice do you Americans live in where you do not have this? Or that Cadbury bar with peanut better and pretzels = best period ever.

Ummmm No. I'm sure this is fantastic for other people. But fuck no. I don't like sleep cuddles, it's too damn hot. I don't like waking up with someone around me. I need to pee, and I'm trapped, fuck off. Sometimes I just really don't want to be touched and I happier when I get to sleep 8 hours with out some cuddler…

The ob/gyn resident shocked me, because they picked that area to do a residency, you might wanna know about something that's been around since the 70s.

As the joke goes "What do you call someone that got a C in med school?"

WTF??????? Who says that? ewwww brain hurting. ahhhh

I once a had a review that I never let anyone ask any questions and told students to look it up for themselves. In truth, I had a single student that asked literally 12 questions every class. After having to define too many words I told her to look it up. Yes, I'm a horrible teacher.

Edited to add: Totally not the…

That one wasn't so bad for me . It's the menstrual cup learning curve and then the overfilled cup that gets me each time. Oh OB, you were so comfortable.

Back when I first started WoW in TBC you couldn't be an asshole or no one would play with you. Then they introduced randoms and you could go through people like tissue, so everyone became an ass. I tended to be the trolly when I was healing or tanking, but that was only to other trolls. e.g "Oh you said something…

That's like a friendship romantic fantasy, that became real! (OMG Did you hear there's a protector of the small graphic novel coming out?)

I took magic as feelings, and a lot of people are emotionally repressed, so it's kinda realistic. Awful, but I think everyone realizes that the parents did wrong by hiding her and making her suppress everything. I'm guessing that's why let it go is so popular, because most can relate to having to hide something about…

I think you are talking about yourself. I haven't resulted in name calling or anger, you have. Which makes me curious if you are feeling guilt and shame. Psychological abuse is abuse.

Coercion is forcing someone against their will.

How is making someone have sex against their will not a violation of their body?

Actually feminism speaks for both male and female victims/survivors of rape. Patriarchy makes it difficult for men to come forward as victims of rape because they are often criticized for being less of man. So both parties are allowed to realize "hey wait, I didn't consent to that." So yes, both parties can be…
