Man, if that happened to me and I had to completely change my hairstyle I'd bawl my eyes out too. I like my hair the way it is, thanks much. If your god is so petty that he'd consider that absolutely justifiable and normal feeling a sin then what exactly makes him worthy of worship?

The privilege displayed by some of the people posting in this thread saying she shouldn't have gotten pregnant is astounding. Birth control isn't nearly as accessible there as it is here. You have to be able to both afford it and have time and transportation to get to the doctor whenever you...

You know, talking to your kids is an option here. I know it's hard and stuff, but that's kind of what you signed up for as a parent. You can't just shelter, shelter, shelter and then "Oh hey you're an adult time to go face the real world now!" Sheltered kids rebel. Sheltered kids are not...

If you think comprehensive sex-ed is taught in every school in every area then I've got a bridge to sell you. The only education I got on the subject is what I taught myself, and if my parents caught me reading anything pertaining to sex I'd get chewed out. When I asked to go on the pill when...

Just wanted to say that it's really cool to hear about matters of consent being taught to kids. It's something that ought to be part of comprehensive sex ed that's taught to every kid in school by time they're old enough to become sexually active. Kudos.

I never understood why making kids act something out was deemed to be necessary. Did they think that teenagers are too dumb to understand "Hey, you're going to get hit on sometimes whether you want to be or not, a polite no is all that's required." without having to go through an awkward...

Or we could make contraception and education on how to use it more widely available. My husband and I are polyamorous, and I've had a condom break twice with a partner other than him. Know what I did? Went and immediately got the morning after pill, and bam, no unwanted pregnancy. I was able to...

It will stop when everyone puts him on ignore and stops responding to him at all.

So my husband and I should be celibate and remain so for the next several years until we can afford to start a family? Yeah, no. Also, just because intercourse seems "overrated" for you, doesn't mean it's not super important to other people.

As someone who's been turned on by spanking since childhood (I was fascinated with any cartoon that depicted it, acted it out with dolls, and felt horribly violated and gross when a family member swatted me on the butt once) the concept of adults spanking children really just... grosses me out...

I read the first eight pages of this thread, got tired of Mach derailing and taking over yet another thread and skipped to the end, only to find that after 46 pages it's STILL being argued. It doesn't help having him blocked if everyone still spends all their time responding to him, guys!

Yeah, I'm just going to leave these here: Camel's in the Tent Crazy Wolf Uninvited *barf*

Good. Now maybe the next bunch of idiot dudebros who come across a drunk chick and view her as an opportunity instead of a human being with a right to bodily integrity will remember this and think twice before they lay a hand on her. Can't wait for the victim blaming brigade to show up, though...

I really hate any of that "real man" or "real woman" nonsense. We're all real, none of us are imaginary. It's dumb. To me, someone who is healthy and would make a good partner is one who knows what he or she wants, has reasonable expectations, and can communicate those effectively and make...

Wait, I was supposed to sacrifice a human for this? Well, crap. I've been doing this all wrong. EDIT: Hey OP, I'm a pagan! BOOGA BOOGA BOOGA

Anyone else care to comment on the inherent stupidity in withholding a student's diploma until they swear that they take an oath freely?

Boy, was it weird seeing THIS pop up in my subscribed threads and having no recollection of ever posting in it. Then I backtracked and found my old posts. I have been with this forum for way too long.

I can't even figure out exactly what's being argued in this thread. Is he suggesting that having sex ed, talking about sex or even having it before marriage, and basically not treating it as some big thing means you can't connect with your partner? Because hoo boy, that's wrong. Putting sex on...

Okay, but how much of that is hardwiring and how much of it is due to being socialized from birth into "boy" and "girl" categories and being taught what all that entails, up to and including that boys are stronger and girls are weaker?
