That would make the issue body shame, and risk saying 'I'm ok with not having any privacy because I'm proud of my body,' which actually just reinforces the body shame issue in the first place, effectively saying that you can look good enough to be shame-proof so looking good is what matters here.

I shouldn't be harsh about it.

I'm going to be the asshole that says it — no, no we can't stop to discuss that, because the issue at hand is statutory rape, and we shouldn't be distracted from it by shiny things.

Seriously? We're going to have to deal with a major hollywood movie that shows a woman in her 40's having an affair with a teenage boy, then makes that out to be HIM abusing HER in some way?

maybe I'm naive, but I think the housecleaning is coming eventually.

Assuming you're a straight guy (as I am) — have you honestly never been attracted to a woman because of what she was doing? That's all this was. She was saying his actions were attractive. I don't know about you, but I notice women being awesome sometimes, and find it attractive. It works the same way for people…

I think I lived in your town until third grade. Do they name an Okra Queen every summer? Is the high school football stadium still the tallest structure? (maybe that's just how my third-grade brain remembers it)

Part of Cersei's power draws from her being the one attractive woman the men in the story *can't* easily see naked. She holds it back as a source of power, and that's part of what makes this particular scene so pivotal (and utterly unsexy)

My ten-year-old has cued up The Lego Movie, and the pizza man is on the way.

I have no intention to defend him, I'm simply asking someone to clear up my confusion — they raided the home, and are now trying to figure out if anything they found is illegal? Seems backwards somehow. Not precisely how investigations are supposed to work.

Both are tissue filled with so much fluid that they become something close to rigid. I suppose it's probably not a bad comparison, really.

Didn't you mean to spell that Riunite? $3.99 sounds about right.

"The most generous reasoning I have is that they felt it would slander Brown's character, diverting attention away from his murderer, maybe paving the way for a mistrial or even acquittal if it ever comes to a court case."

Precisely. I've seen some reports that outside anarchist groups are showing up to start problems.

When my youngest turned 9, I gave him one of those simple cell phones that can call me, a trusted neighbor and the police, taught him which streets were the boundaries of where he could go by himself, and turned him loose in the neighborhood after school and on weekends.

Yes. I wonder how many victims don't know they have this option. I wonder how many know it and don't want things to drag on further. I wonder how complicated it is to pursue one of these, how much time it takes, if it requires a lawyer, etc. It may be out of reach for many victims. I have no idea.
