Thus, if you're mad at your boyfriend, you don't dump him, or even just talk to him and get your relationship back on course; you go and sleep with his friend. That way, the friend gets sex, too, and your role as a woman (read: put here for guys' pleasure) is affirmed.<br /><br />And now that I understand the mindset of Cosmo, I await with bated breath the day the aliens come and end our race with orbital bombardment.

Why? Because they only heat a small area before it dissipates! That's the whole point of the thing!

The other thing that is going on with me is...Jude,<br /><br />The other thing that is going on with me is that anything that sounds like "only rapist can stop rape" makes me feel very scared and helpless" I know that nothing is foolproof but I need to know that there are things that will make me less likely to encounter rapists. Locks, alarms, not ever being alone with men I don't know very well and who have never hurt me or another women,being very careful where I go without a bodyguard, stuff like that. <br /><br />Other women have different rules, mine are way too restrictive for many. Not following them would never make anything my fault or any other woman's. It is just a cost benefit thing. The idea that you should have only ever drunk things you opened yourself is absurd, what are you a spy? Yes doing that gives you a higher level of protection but the social cost is utterly ridiculous. And if I decide to relax sometime and see a man I haven't vetted like I was planning to give him a top secret clearance no one had better give me shit about it.<br /><br />The other thing that bothers me is the idea that no one else has responsibility besides the rapist. Really? Not even my mother when she knew exactly what was going on? Not a direct eye witness? Not the victim certainly but no one at all? So those are some of my personal issues that probably show up in my comments.Falconnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770580070906411828.post-59102600267235005712012-03-20T11:35:14.060-04:002012-03-20T11:35:14.060-04:00Just don't think about it you mean?

I don't expect to get stabbed because I don't make myself a target. I wish I had even better security but I am not out where the crime has been. I have locks and alarms and allies. I wish I had a dog. So no I don't worry much but if I did expect to be stabbed at any minute I would be doing something *very* wrong.Falconnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770580070906411828.post-50407020340663980222012-03-20T03:21:30.094-04:002012-03-20T03:21:30.094-04:00The problem with that is figuring out where the li...The problem with that is figuring out where the line between "safety conscious" and "outright paranoid" is.

A friend of mine is a mechanical engineer who specializes in heating and cooling system design, and she researched this for her Ph.D thesis. Turns out they can pin gender differences down to the fact that men's clothes on average have higher R-value (that's insulating ability) than women's cause they're generally thicker and cover up more of 'ya--at least in the context of professional workplace clothes.writelhdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03717311559866135208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770580070906411828.post-27289195081203496092012-03-19T10:31:48.633-04:002012-03-19T10:31:48.633-04:00Unfortunately, this is also reasonable behavior fo...<em>Unfortunately, this is also reasonable behavior for someone who wants to get laid again.</em><br /><br />Seriously, Cosmo, I think there's been some confusion between "signs your FWB wants to date you" and "signs the person you're sleeping with finds you attractive". I wouldn't consider any of those behaviors out of line for a random hookup who was enjoying the experience, courteous, and/or interested in the possibility of a repeat, never mind that <em>Friends</em> With Benefits are supposed to be not random hookups or even fuckbuddies but friends, i.e. people you interact with and enjoy the company of outside of bed as well, at least so far as I'm aware.mpclnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770580070906411828.post-90978947681168130452012-03-19T10:00:41.417-04:002012-03-19T10:00:41.417-04:00In my experience, in girl on top he can get a pret...In my experience, in girl on top he can get a pretty good view of the base disappearing and reappearing, if she's sitting up and he's laying back with his head propped up on pillows (for that matter, if she leans forward she can get a decent view too).

Um.... what if the guy was actually a half decent friend and said "actually I'm not going to take part in some petty revenge game against my best friend?" Sucks that the guy cheated on her, but... why is revenge being touted as 'ooh so naughty' in a good way (which seems to be what they're implying here.) What about, you know.... acting like an adult? No?<br /><br />I walk home alone all the time. I live in a relatively safe area, a small city mostly populated by older rich people and students. I get told ALL THE TIME (by parents, friends, uni staff, anyone who thinks it's their business) that it's NOT SAFE and I shouldn't go out if I can't get home without walking alone. Hah - fuck that! I'll take reasonable precautions to help ensure my safety, of course, but simply not going out? Fuck that!
