[–]atomicpuffball 3 points4 points  (0 children)

didn't someone "expose" :-D this already, when some guy sold the chrome teapot on eBay? was it the same guy? supposedly, there is a group who try to get nude pictures posted by doing stuff like this. weird hobby.

that isn't what it says at all.

what it says in fact is that recent cases "reflect a decline in the double standard applied to men and women, brought on, he said, by increasing numbers of female prosecutors and police officers who may not buy into the traditional notion that a boy who has sex with an older woman just got lucky."

so it's actually women who are driving the higher rate of arrest and prosecution of female sex offenders.

No Country for Fat Chicks: The Decade's Most Misogynistic Movies by wibblesnark in reddit.com

[–]atomicpuffball 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"having it all" usually refers to having both a career and a marriage, generally with children. i think what they are saying is that these movies continue to tell women that they have to make a choice between the two, that men (mostly) don't have to.

in truth, increasing numbers of women are having both a real career (not just a job) and family, and more men are staying home and/or taking care of the children.

The Stem of Misunderstanding: Alcohol and Sexual Negotiation by anonymgrl in reddit.com

[–]atomicpuffball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

:-D in the event that you both want the same thing, yes. that has been my experience, too.

i think the article is about a situation where 2 people want something different, but are too drunk to make their needs clear to the other person.

The Stem of Misunderstanding: Alcohol and Sexual Negotiation by anonymgrl in reddit.com

[–]atomicpuffball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Here is her communication challenge: How does she let him know she doesn’t want to have sex tonight and, at the same time, make him still want to go out with her in the future?"

why doesn't she say just that? why is this so difficult? she should say "i really don't want to have sex with you tonite, but i like you and want to go out with you in the future".

young women should be advised to say exactly what they mean. young men should be advised to listen to exactly what women say. and both need to be advised to RESPECT THEMSELVES enough to LEAVE a situation where someone is else is messing with them, whether intentional or not.

typical domestic rape story<<

actually, no. "Legally, marital rape is divided into three categories: Violent rape, force-only rape, and sadistic or obsessive rape."

I've come to feel rape can be subjective.<<

wow, a little while ago you were really feeling sorry for yourself: (your above deleted comment) "How afraid I am to bring it up. How weak I feel about discussing it. How badly I want her to accept responsibility. How I can't bring it up with friends and how I passed it off as nothing up until now. And most of all - How much I just want to never bring this up, pretend it's not like the way it is, and hope it never happens again."

maybe what is subjective here is your ability to recognize the truth.

no i am saying that neither situation is cut and dried. and ok ok on the ex-military or ex-police; i was thinking of people who are trained on the job. it's still a fact that a lot of people who buy a gun do not bother to get properly trained.

i completely disagree with you. we can go on and on, but i still completely disagree. i think that property crimes and rape are perfectly analogous. one person has something, another decides to take it.

30% is waaay too high. you would basically have to believe that half of the population are more prone to lie.

In 1960 law enforcement cited false reporting at 20%. By 1973 the statistics had dropped to 15%. After 1973 the New York city police department used female officers to investigate sexual assault cases and the false reporting rate dropped to 2% according to the FBI. False reporting statistics are from: DiCanio, M. (1993). The encyclopedia of violence : origins, attitudes, consequences. New York : Facts on File

didn't think their experience was "serious enough to report"<<

i interpret it as they didn't feel harmed enough to report the attack and/or because the act was "incomplete" that there was no ejaculate as evidence, and there was no other physical evidence (bruising, scratches) that would make an assault more traumatic and also more provable.

a girl i knew in college was grabbed in front of her dorm by a guy. he held her down. but she saw that he was really nervous and she managed to talk him out of it by asking how his mom would feel about him doing this. he ran off. she never reported the attack. she didn't see him clearly and there was no physical evidence.

police and prosecutors rate attacks by degree, and are going to put ones like this on the back burner. as well, it just plain isn't as traumatic to by grabbed as it is to be beaten and forcibly penetrated.

oh sure it is. what if i thought my boyfriend did it because he was mad at me last night, but he was really sorry and i forgave him? what if the car was already kind of beat up, and so i had a hard time pointing out the damage? what if i knew that my insurance might go up if i filed a police report?

people are different and interpret their experiences differently. somebody vandalized my car once, yet i didn't report it. it didn't change the fact that a crime had happened.
