Serious / Re: Let's Talk About Rape
« on: February 20, 2016, 02:09:43 AM »
Unrelated to my above reply to the topic:

Part of me understands the thought process behind "I'm a straight guy and I totally wanna have sex with that super hot girl over there, whether she wants to or not" kind of rape.

What *truly* baffles me is the "I'm a straight guy and I'm going to rape this other guy to punish him/assert my dominance" kind of rape. And the "we're 20 year-old straight males robbing a house, and we're going to gang-rape the 90+ year-old granny who lives here" kind of rape.

What the fuck.

Warning: poorly-organized rambling inbound:

Quote
How have I personally been affected by sexual abuse?
Indirectly, I have. A girl I dated a number of years ago had been raped by a previous boyfriend.

It ultimately didn't work out between us, but for entirely unrelated reasons.

It's very strange finding out someone was raped. Something changes about them. Not that I cared for her any less, or thought she was damaged goods or something. It's like some of the light fades from behind their eyes, or some of the glimmer is missing from their smile.

She would have good days and bad; mostly good.

It's a difficult dynamic to navigate. On one hand, you feel bad for them and want to help them and make them feel safe/comfortable. On the other, you know you shouldn't treat them any differently. Knowing when and how to split the difference is something you're always aware of. Even though I wasn't the one raped, a fraction of the burden of recovery/safety is on my shoulders.

In more friendly relationships, she seems fine. Coworkers, friends, family. Rape and sex are weird things to mix. There's a distinct, but narrow difference between the two.

I still think about it occasionally, even 6-7 years later. We don't really even talk, outside of the occasional "how's your Doctorate going?" or "holy shit Scalia died"

It's a complicated thing, one that's difficult to put into words - especially well-organized ones.

The tangle of thoughts and emotions gets more complicated when you know who the person is who raped her. He's someone I know.

Someone I've known for almost two decades.

He moved away after he and she broke up, but well before she and I got together. He has no Facebook, no Instagram, no Twitter. Totally dropped off of anyone's radar that knew him. Last I hear he's working a construction job somewhere on the east coast.

She never reported the incident. I tried to probe the issue, and she was not interested in the slightest.

I don't know how I would react if I ever saw him again. Would I pretend I know nothing about it? Would I punch him in the face? Call the police?

I have no idea.

I'm glad Sanders' plans are getting so much critical attention. If something doesn't fucking work, I want to know. That's the only way to hold people accountable.

I think it's also worth noting how white and how conservative Kansas really is

In 2014, 86.4% of Kansas was white http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/20000.html
89% are Christian http://www.pewforum.org/religious-landscape-study/state/kansas/political-ideology/conservative/
And quite Republican http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/03/09/in-kansas-tktktk/

I bring this up because I've spent a good amount of time in Kansas, and even though I'm from one of the most conservative areas of California, Kansas is a whole different place.
I don't see any problem with this.
Never said it was a problem, just giving the landscape. Kansas isn't exactly your BFF if you're a liberal, a minority, and not an outspoken Christian Evangelical. Considering Obama is all of those things, the picture that was posted doesn't particularly surprise me.

He just called what he said "disgraceful"


Goodbye all of Trump's supporters

Just saw a news report:  Trump's drones actually say that Trump is "correct."

What the news also, fucking hilariously, pointed out was that while Trump was bitching about the Pope questioning his faith, he questioned Cruz's evangelical faith not too long ago.
Can't say I'm surprised. Inconsistency and cognitive dissonance is the platform of the Republican party.

If you live in the midwest US where there are literally no hills, then yes you'll be fine. Oh and good luck getting up to speed on the freeway...

The Pope is just another person with opinions to me, nothing more.

Who happens to be the head of one of the largest religious community with extremely strong influence lol

I'm not saying he doesn't have influence over people. I'm saying to me personally he isn't anybody special and his word shouldn't carry more weight than anyone else's.
Even though you aren't Catholic, you aren't willing to admit that he probably has a better grasp on what is more Christ-like than regular people?

over the past few months (MONTHS) i've been a lot more lax about my own grammar
i still recognize its importance but i've also found valuable rhetorical effect with going all lowercase and no punctuation

I fucking hate posts like this.

Not enough information to know who you're referring/responding to, nor enough information to know what the fuck your post is about.

Why even post?
Because I'm a shitposter.
It's what I do.
Then don't bother with Serious.
I honestly see no value in incentivizing marriage, though.
People are abandoning it because it fails so often. Marriage is basically a promise to eventually hate the other person.
Last I heard, the "marriages fail so often" were skewed by numerous remarriages. the number of people who get married once seemed relatively normal.

Also, are people actually abandoning marriage? I said this before - I know people are getting married *later* than prior decades, but are there really fewer people getting married?
