Exactly!
It has to do with the fact that it's not sex that rapists are after: it's control. Yes, some of them may well "just" consider it sex, but the crime itself is recognized as controlling another person. A physiological response to whatever is happening psychologically. Some victims climax during rape, and that's…
GROSS.
I didn't mean to be flippant or dismissive. But I really am surprised that the campus police 1. wouldn't know that, and 2. WHAT THE FUCK?
Oh, what the fuck. As an activist for survivors of sexual violence, I thought it was common knowledge that rapists often can't maintain erection, let alone ejaculate. I didn't assume it was necessarily common knowledge among the general population, but at least on campuses with crisis centers and law enforcement.
I'm a quarter black, and I get "exotic" all the effing time. I'm half Irish and then my father is half English and half black. People used to rudely ask "what are you?"
Amen. I can't drive when it's very hot in the summer because when I leave my air conditioned office and step out in 95+ degrees, I pass the fuck right out. I'd be at risk for hitting my head or falling onto a griddle. I'm sure people without my disorder are at just as much risk considering they're standing and it's…
Beautiful.
Ooh, I'm the same way. I don't even want to try hypnotism because I'm afraid that once I'm not afraid, it will prove to have been life-saving, so I don't want to get rid of the phobia. It's so fucked up. I entertained getting on a plane for a family gathering, and BAM. Nope, guess I'm staying here this year. I do…
I got my nose and belly button pierced when I was 28. Do it!
I had no idea until reading this thread that this wasn't something everyone had! I grew up in a pretty WASP-y area, though. And there were lots of Irish Catholics, too.
For what it's worth, I'd misread something before posting this. I do know that Dartmouth is a private school.
Yes, thank you. I'd misread something, which I pointed out elsewhere while joking that this is what I get for my public school education, but that seems to have disappeared. But it was simply a matter of misreading and then not deleting.
No shit?
Ty Conklin was the motherfucking man. (As was Jason Krog. Hobey Baker anyone?) I don't mind if BC/BU dominates, as long as it's not fucking Maine. Anyone in Hockey East is welcome to the national title as long as 1. UNH is already out, and 2. It's not Maine.
I saw we were a "coach" state, and before even seeing the word "hockey," Dick Umile was out of my mouth. University of No Holidays when I was there (cough lateninetiesearlymillenium cough).
Oh, it is! I love adding ginger to my juices since it brightens everything. I'm of the "eat the rainbow" school of nutrition. There have been times in my life where I think juicing would have quickly deteriorated into some form of anorexia. Happily, that's not the case anymore, and I do enjoy juices with my…
Oh, godDAMNIT, NH. If he's going to call me a vagina, I suppose fair is fair as I call him a dick.
