... It seems like you could probably guess there was going to be a debate in the comments, if you don't want to read the debate in the comments, maybe don't click on the comments.

I wouldn't want them smoking marijuana in a school either.

agreed that it could be rape. Because obviously, if someone is in a romantic relationship with someone, there's no way they couldn't want sex. Even if they were fifteen years old. She's been called a slut and a whore for having a child when she never even wanted to have sex. That's why I'm a feminist, and for the billions of men and women who deserve to see their mothers, daughters, sisters, wives, and selves as equals of their husbands, fathers, brothers, sons, and selves.

Also, if you want an example of how anyone personally has been oppressed, I'll tell you a story: when I was a kid, my grandfather molested me. It was never anything below the belt, and so in my child's mind, I didn't think there was anything wrong with it. When I was seventeen, he took it farther. I didn't dare say anything until I was 18, and then only because I was worried he might do the same to my little sister, all the while he'd kept taking it step-by-step farther and farther. I finally took it to the police, but since they know my grandfather, they pushed it aside as me just trying to get back at him or something.
It wouldn't be any less awful if it was reversed in gender, and it could theoretically happen, except they knew him through church. He was a priest, which is something that only men can attain in their religion. Because women should watch the kids, while men make the decisions.
My best friend was raped by her boyfriend, but because they were in a relationship, no one

They were a family who tried to make it to California before the winter, since they didn't have enough money to wait, so they risked going through the Rockies in the fall. Unfortunately, it ended up snowing and they got trapped and had to eat their horses and then each other in an attempt to survive.

I don't see how your comment answers my not-really-a-question, either? I was not asking your opinion about feminism, I was asking what this post had to do with equality.

If you have enough bandaging, you're supposed to form a circle around the object, preventing it from being bumped. Never put pressure on the object (since you could push it farther in), but around it.

For half a second I thought you said "I cannot agree with this" and the rest of the comment really confused me before I read it again cx This is all too true!

What exactly are you supposed to do about it? It's in the past, and believe it or not, some of the people on funsubstance aren't old enough to actually have their voices counted in the government yet, even if they live in the USA

And yes, we should teach kids to not care so much about what others think, but I think a lot of people assume that's the only step we need to take, rather than /actually stopping bullies/, because oh, they can just turn off the computer. It's not that big a deal.

I don't see how this post has anything to do with not being able to be equal.

I understand what you mean about the technology, but at the same time... What were you doing on your electronics? Generally, I'm having conversations with other people. I'm connecting to more people, and as an introvert, it helps a lot to not have to diddle with smalltalk that doesn't matter when instead I can talk about things like the novel I'm writing or my college plans.... Especially as before I got into technology, I would read. And reading isn't a bad thing, but that's not really conversing to anyone, let alone the person you're with. If you have something to say to someone, you'll talk, otherwise, why does it matter what you're doing?

Some girls have sex without "being mature enough to"? My best friend had a child when she was fourteen, is that mature enough that she should realize that all men are clearly awful people and you should hate them? Or that she should realize that she needs to have protection (even though she had never been taught that, because I live in a religious area).
Also, condoms break, even birth control isn't 100% effective.... and no one ever had regrets from oral? Funny, cause I'm preeetty sure you can still get STDs, and it's not so easy to use a condom on your tongue.

I expect people to not try to TRICK me into kissing them, even if I had hinted I might want to. Hint: closing the gap is consent. You don't have to give verbal consent to let someone know you want to kiss them. Hey, if you're dating someone and they don't say they DON'T want to be kissed, go for it, but tricking them? Really? Hell, even just kissing me if you honestly believe I want to kiss you is fine with me, as long as you let me go if I try to stop you. He tricks her, and then holds her there, even as she raises her arms to stop him. And for the record, I have seen this movie. Several times.

Okay, there is a high percentage of women who have families picked out already to give their baby to and just can't give their child away once they meet them and hold them. It's one of the hardest things to do. And sure, they might love them and want what's best for them, but that doesn't stop them from getting angry when the kid's not as cute and causes a bunch of trouble. It doesn't stop the bruises, or the realization for the mother just how freaking hard and expensive it is to raise a baby, and then a child. Not to mention the fact that in some places, you legally can't give a baby up for adoption unless the father signs as well. Not to mention the fact that thousands of kids age out of foster care every year because they weren't ever adopted, do we really need more children to add to that?

We do need to make it much more clear though that it is not the fault of the person who got raped, since even if they weren't actively avoiding any chance of it (because that's impossible), it's still not their /fault/. We should teach people how to better protect themselves, but just like telling people not to walk through shady areas at night to avoid getting murdered, it's not 100%. It still happens and there's no way to classify everything. People make mistakes, and I think the idea behind "teaching them not to rape" is that victim blaming in cases of rape is still a thing, and it needs to stop. There /might/ have been more you could have done, but pointing that out isn't helpful. It's still the rapists fault.
