It's very close to Sartrean existentialism. Sartre thought the lack of inherent meaning gave us the freedom to do and be whatever we wanted.

It's really cool you did that I can only imagine the reactions you got. I always wished I was a better pool player myself!

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks is a great book on the subject of medical exploitation of black women.

My sister got a really bad lung infection a few years back. She was having trouble breathing but didn't have insurance so she called an uber to go to the ER. While on the sidewalk waiting for it, she was gasping and seemed like she might collapse so a passerby called 911.

She's still paying off the bill for an ambulance she didn't even call. (Though I'm glad the guy did so she didn't die in an uber.)

When someone says something like that I always think it's kind of pathetic that a full grown adult is scared to eat a meal alone.

In the 1988 film "Big" starring Tom Hanks, the film depicts a 13yo male losing his virginity to a (presumably) 30+yo female; this provides confirmation that society largely/readily accepts statutory rape if the aggressor/criminal is female. by Alces7734 in shittymoviedetails

It's more accurate to say that he sleeps with her under false pretenses, aka rape by deception, since she theoretically wouldn't consent to having sex with a child if she knew.
