They've stopped. I had the chance to explain it to most of them, and I got some grumbling replies, but a few "huh...I think about that" replies as well. And he's 11 now, though small for his age, and people seem more open to it at that age.

Precisely!

Not a multilane highway, but it is a busy, four-lane road with stoplights at every block. I'm on my phone so I won't try this, but I'd imagine you could find the rough area on Google streetview and check it out. This was on Georgia Avenue in Silver Spring, Maryland. I don't know roughly what mile.

Awww. Thank you.

Lol. I probably have. Wouldn't surprise me.

this is happening where I live, so two interesting notes on the law:

Nope. Professional bodybuilders go through a cycle, timed for competitions. They have what they call "bulking" months, when they eat as much as possible and work out heavily. At the end of a bulking cycle, they're more muscular but more flabby. Then they have "cutting" months when they cut the calories and work…

I have a theory that they actually designate a few scenes where he needs to be extra big, shoot most of the film with him in reasonably good shape, then take a break from shooting while he bulks up for those last few, and shoot them. There are scenes where he is distinctly 20-30 pounds heavier than in the prior scene…

While every word you wrote is true, I do see a reason for this discussion. It's about where to apply the resources of activists.

"But as is the case in all these stories, there is one thing Nungesser and Sulkowitz agree upon: the University they both chose to attend has failed them. They just each think that happened in different ways."

And I see it's fixed. Wow. Thank you for the quick reaction. :)

You realize you just ran the name yourselves, in that quote? Please black that out and don't participate in what this ass is doing.

I am not familiar with the UVA campus, myself (I took the prospective student tour 20 years ago, but frat row wasn't part of it). But I have been on the campuses of several big Southern state universities, and on all of them, the frats were clustered together on a single street in identical-looking houses. It would…

It's also true that this is still unfolding. Everyone needs to take a big step back and give it time.

I'm a straight, cis-, white man, age 37. Most of the conversations I have end up being with other straight, cis-, white people, many of them male. There are rooms in this world mostly filled with straight, cis-, white men, and I can get into them.

If we've agreed as a culture that 'she didn't fight back' isn't proof of consent, then the fact that he didn't stop it isn't proof of consent.

1) This is brilliant.

I have taught comprehensive sex-ed to 14-year-olds twice. I will say this — many of them DO get their idea of what sex is like from porn, and many of them do have very unrealistic expectations because of that.

I agree. I just think it's important to acknowledge that this particular case is part of a larger cultural divide that plays out over whales constantly. Look into Japan's whale hunt for "scientific research" and how much of it ends up in restaurants. It's a controversy even within Japan these days, as I understand…

They did not unknowingly serve sei, or serve it posing as sushi. They went out of their way to get it, it is considered a delicacy in Japan (though there is a generational divide there where some older people eat it and many younger people consider that a problem), it wasn't listed on the menu but was produced only…
