This is true. In addition, pretty much most cases of pedophile sex offenses. Jerry Sandusky, Jimmy Seville, Catholic priests, Jared Fogle. NONE of them were acting alone. All of them had a pretty strong network to support their abuse. People will argue that it’s because of fame. It isn’t. It’s a deliberate social…

They are. They’re just not likely to be prosecuted for it.

I absolutely agree!

I was absolutely agreeing with you 1000% and really valued your comment. You were one of the few to have heart and not be cruel toward these people. Sorry if I was inarticulate/unclear. I was just really touched by your kindness and maybe responded too quickly!

My impression is that these people were basically squatting/homeless because of extreme poverty that most people can’t relate to. People think they can, but that’s most likely the self righteousness talking. These women, children, and pets were all suffering terribly and were still trying- even in the face of what…

A type of social ideal regarding people having agency in sexual situations could easily arise from education about consent. I think it very likely would. Then on top of that a growing social shame for those who are interested in forcing those boundaries. Right now I think a large part of the population doesn’t feel…

It’s not true- which is why it’s hard to believe. Especially pedophiles who have offended have a huge recidivism rate. Almost guaranteed. Once they do it. They’ll do it again if able to. Even drastic measures like voluntary chemical castration seem to have little success. My roommate for 4 years ran therapy programs…

It would be with you.

You’re right. Stripper office parties and the like usually bother feminists because they are also usually Quakers. It’s a known thing. So uptight, dude. There are a few radicals out there though.

Me too. Sprockets! Now we dance.

Is “gay” a new slang term for “lying”? I don’t get it.

Just friendly ribbing within the theme of whether people work out at all times in their “workout” gear or not. It’s just as silly to work out all the time but drive a car to run errands instead of walking/biking. No need for assumptions at all about what another woman is wearing/doing. Because basically who cares? The…

Ooh! I hope they use bleeps. Like blooper bleeps. I hope at least 1/4 of the dialogue is bleeped. I will love this movie nearly unconditionally but enough bleeping could ensure it meets the highest entertainment standards available under the circumstances. Crossing my fingers for bleeps!

That’s a beautiful success story providing victim support! Very encouraged that women have practical resources beyond counseling. I’m on the lookout for those organizations and will look into the one you mentioned. Would love to see this become commonly accessible. Thanks for spreading the word!

Wow! You are amazing- thank you for what you do and the info! May sound silly but I don’t know what to google to find these organizations. In my area I’m haven’t been successful. Might you know what to search nationally? I’d like to know for the sake of girls leaving home for school to other states and for possible…

Are you working out like a fiend and then driving to get groceries and run errands? Totally fine if you are but it’s just as weird as people wearing athletic clothes to run their errands on foot and/or carry heavy stuff. Maybe more weird. Endearingly weird. Are you single with a minivan by chance?

Yeah! You should wear whatever you want however it works for you! I’m not a mom with young kids but I fetch and carry a lot of heavy stuff both at work and while running my own errands on foot. I would think being a SAHM also requires some physical work. I don’t need to be judged as “pretentious” for wearing what gets…

Ahh! Thank you so much. I do often land more on the punitive/long incarceration side when it comes to most violent crimes. Not so much with many other types of crime. Information can and does change my opinions though. Even if I’m pretty firm in them. I’ll be rereading and rethinking!

I would love to see trained advocates on call for rape/abuse victims. Someone to protect them and be with them for every step of the process and guide them through the shitty justice system. From reporting (if the victim chooses) to rape kit and onward. Groups and advocates that publicly put pressure on prosecutors…

Questions for anyone who Mage have an idea; Are these “she wants it rough” and/or “she wanted to have sex with me and any guy I invited” defenses related to hardcore porn that depicts similar actions being common in our society? Or were these excuses always commonly used? I’m asking because it is so baffling that…
