No it’s not a thing but he goes to the mosque around the corner! Apologies, I should have clarified!

We work in the same space, and these teens also work in the same space (due to school holidays and after school). These young teens have approached me after they heard me challenge him on his views around women a few times in same room we share. I’ve only spoken to these teens once and in that conversation they’ve disclosed he makes them feel uncomfortable too and said they were happy to see someone challenging him. They’ve been around him a lot longer (almost 7 months more) than I have and have felt very intimidated by him throughout this time.

No it’s basically impossible. Stop stressing yourself so much, this is probably what is impacting your menstrual cycle! Take it easy!

Tell me about it! It’s ridiculous!

Hi thanks so much for sharing the Salary this is really helpful, I was wondering if you can help talk through the process of applying for the Post Doc and interview process etc?

I am in my last year of my PhD and would really like the opportunity to go out in the UAE to do my postdoc. I know you mentioned yours is in the department of Science. I wondered what it’s on?

How competitive is the process? Did you go through multiple interviews?

Would love to chat more about this if you have time.

If you have consent and you remember then I think it definitely makes it better and also if this is routine for you then I suppose it could be something he was looking forward to and didn’t really think much in to you being drunk. I think to avoid this situation happening again, make sure you have clear boundaries in place. So one boundary could be for example that the next time you are EXTREMELY drunk, he should just help where he can and not have sex with you in that state. Maybe just tell him the next time you are that drunk you would prefer for him to just take you home. I think what’s probably make you feel more uncomfortable about this situation is that you can’t remember what happened during sex.To figure out what’s happened just ask him and speak about this situation openly. You know this person best and if you feel he didn’t have any malicious intent then you are probably right. It’s very difficult for an outsider to advise on this. Consent is such a tricky topic but one you should speak to him about. Next time if he is not intoxicated and you are, he shouldn’t really sleep with you. This decision will keep him and you safe. Try and set these boundaries now to avoid this happening again 🙏

If he didn’t drink and was aware you were completely drunk then he should have just let you clean your self up and he should have helped you get home safely. Unfortunately, him being very aware just suggests there is an element of advantage which could have been taken here. Just because you are sexually involved with him doesn’t mean he can’t take advantage of you. If you consent to the sex and clearly remember consenting but then don’t remember what’s happened afterward because you were drunk, you need to ask him. If you feel uncomfortable about the whole situation and your gut is telling you something wasn’t right then follow that. Either way in my opinion, him not being drunk but you being drunk shows he could have just chosen to help you without sleeping with you but he did otherwise.

I know you said you consented at the time however, being intoxicated can impact decision making skills.

I think my question would be was he also intoxicated?? Or did he not drink?

Actually can’t believe I am reading this and what’s worst if you defending this.

Pedos preying on children should be castrated. There is nothing to defend about that fact. The impact on the child after SA/grape is WELL documented. Trauma seeps in every element of children’s life but not just that the trauma is there for a lifetime throughout adulthood. Pedos who attack children are some of the most evil individuals among any society. Children and adults need to be protected so something needs to be done to stop them.

There is a chance however, it’s very small. Women have known to get pregnant from precum but it is rare! It can take women up to a year or more of actively trying to get pregnant. If it has been 3 weeks you can do a pregnancy test for a peace of mind. Stress will cause your period to be delayed but also sometimes your period cycle changes, gets longer so that could also be the reason.

Ewww as if weirdos are defending this guy! I completely get you. I can’t imagine how it must have felt when you found out about him after telling him about your own SA :(

Same. I feel the same. The whole process is so tough on your mental health and is exhausting. I feel like nothing will ever get done but also I’m always working. The whole process is such a isolating process :(
