    Hey asshole, I've never watched that show, so I have no opinion on it. If I were to follow your playbook, though, I guess I'd have to reflexively like it just because you've spoken against it. Oops, no, I'm not an idiot like you are, so I will continue to hold off on forming an opinion about something I haven't seen. You probably should do that, too, it might help you to avoid the frequent embarrassment of posting articles that don't say what you claim.

    If he's your friend, you don't want to be excessive in your response. But I would confront him when he's sober. Tell him calmly but firmly what happened, that you don't think it's okay, and that he needs to formally apologize to your girl. If he's a friend, it's not much to ask.

    I guess the reflexive dumb rep means Dinner couldn't find the lie. Not surprising.

    that's the side of it all women know that guys often don't pick up on.

    They are so accustomed to it that even when violated they default to "it's not worth it" to speak up or call it out. It's as much a facet of what they have to put up with in life as getting stuck in traffic.

    In order to change the culture, it's important for good men to call out the predators and pressure then to change - even in the private moments or the casual setting...but it's also important that we continue creating a world in which women refuse to submit to "that's just the way it is" sort of thinking.

    Your "friend" is specifically part of the problem for doing it, but y'all allow him to continue being part of the problem if you don't make it CRYSTAL clear to him that decent people don't behave that way and if that's the sort of man he is, he's out of your life.

    Harsh behavior deserves harsh consequence.

    To cut to the chase/answer the thread title: they show you a picture of this guy and wait for the counselor to get the dolls ready so they can point to where he touched them.

    "that have slept with my husband" is clearly not how one describes a rape victim.

    Bill had affairs, of which we are all aware. Consensual relationships as far as anyone has said - THOSE are "have slept with my husband"

    All that said, as with gturner - we're having a serious fucking discussion about a subject that goes beyond partisan politics and your dancing clown act is unwelcome in the thread. Piss off to some place where it's better suited asshole.

    the OP is about millions of women who've been sexually assaulted be entitled men from all walks of life - who exactly is the target of the hit?

    No. Nevermind. Just fuck off. There WAS a civil discussion ongoing before you two scumbags showed up

    Made up privileges?

    You are of the opinion that both males and females are equally likely to be potential victims of groping, assaults, or rape?

    Seriously?

    I don't think it's something he routinely does, it was just a dumb drunken moment.

    I was 15 years old when a dowdy woman claiming to be a mermaid grabbed my cock.

    I still remember the surprise on her face as she told me she'd never handled a nine-incher. And I'll never forget the restrained tears forming around the corners of her eyes as she realized induced arousal was out of the question.

    Confused and indignant, I left to bang my high school girlfriend.

    Thanks, fam. Feels good to get off my chest.

    Could you find a polite way to ask me to fuck off? This Chinese caricature reinforces disgusting stereotypes and I find it totally inappropriate and offensive.

    Rape victims deserve to be heard and justice given to them.

    Unless it was Bill Clinton. All those sluts wanted it.

    You don't give a single fuck about sexual assault.

    You know what's sexual assault? A predator transvestive tricking a member of the opposite sex that they were born that way.

    What happens when you solicit uncorroborated tales of alleged "assault?"

    You get a tidal wave of estrogen-fueled sob stories by young women using tales of victimhood to find a sense of community & belonging. You're a member of the "club" if you can claim to have been victimized by an evil man. You also get older, angry, bitter women looking for revenge because they've never gotten over being dumped 20 years ago by the ex-husband who got tired to dealing with their bitchy bullshit.

    I think some of this is a matter of gender perception. If you are a guy and another guy comes up a d grabs your dick you immediately get aggressive. I am putting aside the gay meat market. You are risking getting a punch in the face if you grab a guys crotch uninvited. With a woman you may get a slap in the face, but unless you are grabbing a female mma fighter you can take the potential hit.

    Guys do not get it because being a victim of this is not a situation they can relate to. However, guys can think about it this way. What if you get punched in the face or a decent ass kicking? The person assaulting you got the better of you and no one saw it. Do you go tell everyone, or do you want it to go away? Living with the bruises might seem to be a lot easier than facing all the people who know you got your ass kicked even if you were totally a victim. This is why bullies can get away with it because you feel ashamed of letting it happen to you even if you could not stop it.

    This is why a lot of women and victims do not say anything. You don't have to relive it every time someone asks you what happened. You do not need to see the look of pity that tells you that you were a victim. You do not have to be reminded that you were weaker. You don't have to have people implying you asked for it or deserved it. Guys just do not get manhandled like that.
