back from the ashes

I have literally no idea how you're getting that from what i've said here. At no point have I said things are worse in the West than anywhere else. I've only said the are bad here...which in my view they are. I don't think you're wrong, and haven't said so. I just don't really know what it is...

Ahahaha good shout my friend! You also seem nice. Wouldn't it be crazy if it turned out we knew each other in real life?! @Padawan - What do you mean by "legitimate" sexual assaults? Like "legitimate rape"?

I'm on board with the Socratic method. My daughter's 3.5 yrs and from day 1 she was listening to opera&classical music, I used to read her poetry and classic literature to get her to sleep. When she was old enough to take notice/interest in things I switched to what she was interested in but I...

Why thank you very much. In "real life" i do hang out with some radical fems (and lots of them are fannies) so I'm always keen to point out that while i am a feminist, that means nothing more to me that a belief in equality of gender. For me, feminism should be the default. Withdrawal of...

Sorry to hear you've had so much of it. It's completely shit, eh?

Yeah i got that, just didn't get what the gif was saying in response to that. I haven't said - and wouldn't, because i don't believe it, that things are *worse* in the western world. But I do think they're pretty effing bad. Strangely enough, i'm also a woman who has traveled extensively. You...

yeah absolutely - didn't meant to say that it's somehow less bad for non-LGBT people. Not sure it's relevant at all but was more meaning that in my personal experience, guys who *know* i'm gay and *know* i don't like sex with men have still pressured me into consenting, which makes them bigger...

I'm keen not to come off as one of those mental feminists that linger online these days, but yup! And all the "it wasn't rape, they just regret it now" stuff...adds up to a real problem. A pal of mine recently reported a rape and my gf had to go give a statement cause she knew the guy who's been...

also, i was really just saying that of my female friends it's a 70% ratio - that is genuinely my experience, but i wasn't trying to universalise it.

Not sure what the IT crowd gif is meant to mean.. Gonzo the fact that you wouldn't normally perceive those acts as sexual assault is indicative of the problem i'm talking about!

No worries, don't think you're being cunty at all! I probably should have put my point better - i don't think Scotland is worse than anywhere else for rape problems, i think all of the english-speaking West (UK, USA, Canada etc) has a terrible problem with rape culture. Only mentione my...

Yeah this is a very sensitive subject. I've never actually been raped, but i have been sexually assaulted, and i have been sort of cornered into sex with guys for fear that if i say no it'll happen anyway. I'm a lesbian, and i don't actually enjoy having sex with guys, but there you go. I've...

where be the wooman?! 18 days boiiiiiii
