Not legally, it isn't. Simply not saying the word "yes" does not make sexual contact illegal; most of the world would be in prison if that were the case. I'm not sure I've ever actually uttered that word in the 25-ish years I've been getting busy with the fellas. Is that a thing that people do?

For a site that's at least notionally philosophically opposed to mean-girl bullshit, this site sure does sling a lot of mean-girl bullshit.

Since mom was the one who filed three grievances against the school, I'd say she either already knew or was down with it when she found out. Props to her for not living up to a Texas stereotype.

Extra style-points if is a pulp lesbian romance novel from 1957. Those are the best, I'm already picturing the cover illustration.

Its beyond me at this point. I'm still really angry because that twat is still there and still doing it, and frankly I want nothing more than for him to be ruined completely — fired, no unemployment benefits, lose his house, his car, his family, everything. But that won't happen. In any case, the company knows now…

Whatever, man. Its the world, bad shit happens and you have to deal with it. That was a cakewalk compared to the really crazy-awful shit people around me are dealing with. The real point of my saying it was to point out that there is a pretty big gulf between "say" and "do" when it comes to asserting boundaries. …

Which isn't easy, if your entire upbringing has told you that you are not allowed to say it.

We have to stop raising our daughters to be "nice" and constantly worried about how other people feel.

is it rape if you don't say "no" and not fight it at all?

For what?

The point she's making, which is worth listening to, is that people who in most other circumstances would consider themselves — and probably be considered by others — as rational, confident, assertive, and generally together can be derailed in stressful circumstances. The fact that those circumstances may have been…

"How does he not see that this is terrible idea?"

"Just tell me, I won't get mad" is the CLASSIC lie! Its the ultimate trap, there is no getting out of it, fellas. I overheard an argument on my front porch between an ex-roommate and his girlfriend. The gf was saying over and over again "I won't get mad, I promise! I swear I won't, I just want you to tell me…

It is not visible to others. The only way someone can see under my clothing is if they manipulate an object to obtain a view that is not available to humans.

It is a reasonable expectation, to a reasonable person, that when I am clothed I have the expectation of privacy under my clothing. The only people I hear arguing otherwise are men; certainly I have not heard any women's voices declaring that people are entitled to take pictures of our genital area that is covered by…

Manipulating a camera to put it underneath someone's clothing is very much analogous to reaching your hand down someone's pants.

I categorically disagree with that. If I have to manipulate a camera to get a picture of a part of your body that is not otherwise visible, there is no material difference in the intent or outcome regardless of the garment you have on.

Its visible to the camera lens only if it is manipulated to get an angle that is not accessible to the human eye. That means, pretty much by definition, that it is not on "display". If a human can't see it, then it is not on "public view". Just as I do not have the right to reach my hand down your pants and snap a…

1) If you have to reach a phone under a skirt or otherwise adjust it to any angle that will capture an image that is not accessible to the eye, then it is not on "full display".

How is something that is not visible to the eye on "full display"?
