Oh good. A troll who thinks that it's the people who notice the use of racist dog whistles who are the real racists. I just can never get enough of those!

Apparently he thinks black people don't buy cars, beer, movie tickets, etc. They just steal everything!

I suppose you think Bailey and Britt deserve to be shot and killed too? Just going by the usual police brutality apologist logic.

It used to be that people saw Neanderthals as primitive and stupid compared to modern humans. Then genetic testing revealed that people of European descent have some Neanderthal DNA while people of African descent do not. Modern humans migrated to Europe while Neanderthals still lived there and they intermingled…

I'm glad you have a support system to help you. My only advice is to try not to feel guilty about whatever anger or resentment you might still feel towards your mother. Or if you feel numb. It's a complicated situation and there's no wrong to way to go through the grieving process. Just feel what you feel.

The #notyourshield tag is chock full of white male 4Chan/8Chan members who are socking as women and POC. There are screencaps of them coaching each other on how to sock. They "SJWs" hate cishet white men and love everyone else so they believe that if pro GG stuff comes from a woman or POC, those of us who oppose…

There are few novels that don't deal with feelings at all. Maybe some sci-fi like Asimov's Foundation series. But that's about it.

Same. I've got no problem reading books about relationships or family but I don't like sappy goopy romances at all. I do like V.C. Andrews as a guilty pleasure and maybe that's chick lit, but otherwise, no.

High Fidelity by Nick Hornby. I don't know if I'd call it a romance exactly, but it is about a relationship.

Well then, happy Thanksgiving!

I like you too!

Also,

I can't cosign this. That bottle is too small.

So? Rape is rape. College students who are rapists will find a way to rape. They don't magically become rapists because alcohol is present. They rape because they're rapists. Futile efforts to get college students not to drink won't change that.

This dude's reluctance to blame someone other the victims for rape makes me think he's sexually assaulted a drunk woman before.

I never claimed that drunk women aren't at risk for rape. In fact, I already said that alcohol is a common tool that rapists use. I said that removing alcohol from the equation wouldn't stop rape from being a problem. Rapists would use other tools instead. You're focusing on the M.O. instead of the perpetrators…

Smoosh!

We already teach women these strategies. It doesn't work. Because most rapists are not strangers. They are friends or boyfriends/husbands. People that we trust and feel safe around. You can't teach women to avoid rapists at all times because they don't wear "I'm a rapist" tattoos on their foreheads.

Alcohol is one tool used by rapists it's not the cause. A tool that would actually be less effective if we stopped scolding victims for alcohol consumption. Rapists target drunk victims in part because they know people will disbelieve the victim is she was drunk.

Anger at oppression is different than anger at a marginalized group gaining more rights. You seem to be in the latter group.
