In her defense (!), she does say that the clothes don't meet the standard of their household, and doesn't seem to be judging people who find those shorts perfectly fine. For all I know, she's judging the shit out of them, but that's not how it reads to me.

I'm sorry you went through that, but I admire you for reporting and pressing charges. I was too afraid. Double star for your response to the lawyer!
My dog smiles, and my roommate says she smiles like an alligator. It's true! (Both of her dogs are smiley as well, but the rat terrier is evil, so that smile is no good.) Excuse the Red Sox jersey, my ex was overseas, so I'd buy things to send him funny pictures.
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.
