157. you might want to put...
that disclaimer in all your post in this thread because you come across, especially in that exchange with solomon, as an sexist asshole.

just being honest.


fellas need to do a little role-playing. imagine your wife, daughter, sister, mother, trully is raped (lets assume in this hypothetical that it is beyond a doubt), but for whatever reason, she isnt believed. she was alone, drunk, didnt report it in time, knew the guy etc. how would you feel? and im expecting a knee-jerk, not logic.

and try this one, i do this one alot. you are walking home, at night, alone. and a guy comes up walking in the same direction. black white brown, doesnt matter. there could be people around or the streets completely empty. what do you do. i know i tense up hella quick. i quicken my step, i put my keys in between my fingers, i size him up. i do this every time im walking alone. and rapes between strangers happen only 20 percent of the time. but just imagine how that feels to constantly need to be on guard because you never know how a guy is going to react.

and granted im pretty friendly with people and im pretty confident in myself and try not to let fear rule my life. but im not stupid.
