Whoa, I think someone I know is very well acquainted with a Celeste Ricciardi (from the catburglar link) who lives in NYC. Trying to figure out if it's the same person... #pakistanattackonfemalecafeteri...
I don't understand how castration is an effective punishment for rape. Castrated penises can still become erect, so the rapist can still rape...if anything all the castration will do is eliminate any DNA evidence (semen) from being left behind in or on the victim. Sound's like this French dude just wants to keep on going, but not get caught. #pakistanattackonfemalecafeteri...
@distractedbyshinyobjects: I'm going to assume the French guy thinks it'll take away his sex drive/doesn't know that erections can still occur? I've actually heard that a lot from guys and girls I know, the idea that castration makes it all go away... #pakistanattackonfemalecafeteri...
The fallacy there is that rape, or the desire to rape has anything to do with sex drive. It's a violent crime that's about power and control - not arousal. #pakistanattackonfemalecafeteri...
@distractedbyshinyobjects: That is not necessarily true. Most rapists are capable of enjoying consensual sex as well. Some people have a fetish for rape - it is the only kind of sexual contact in which they are interested. Not all rapists are rape fetishists. I believe the difference is similar to that between child molestors who are known as "opportunistic" abusers, and those who are genuine pedophiles. #pakistanattackonfemalecafeteri...
Whenever I hear someone suggest the U.S. should "share" Afghanistan with the Taliban, I think about the female half of the population and what that would mean for their lives. #pakistanattackonfemalecafeteri...
Miley embrace your Destiny. Twas written in the Disney scrolls embedded in the cryogenic head of Walt Disney that there will come a girl who, "will lead us into the new age of mass marketed and hypersexualized pre-teens. Yay, it is just like the old age but with more cross platform promotion and less New Kidz on Blocks". And let us cling to our stripper poles of righteousness and tweet, Amen.
@mistersathingtonfroggleby: There is most definitely alimony in PA...either that or there's a nasty judge who played a very cruel trick on me a few years ago.
Maybe I am still recovering from the after-effects of last night's The Office wedding sweetness and my overactive hormones, but that quote by Cherry Jones almost brought me to tears.
@lorem oopsum: I was wondering if I was just hormonal, because everything has been making me choke up for days, and The Office last night was really the capper. I started tearing when I was reading about Betsy-Tacy in the other thread, and I have never read the books. Maybe it's in the water?
