Bag of Hamsters posted:Frankly, there was no winning for her. Either she leaves because some guy sending off skeevy vibes is making her unasked-for drinks [and then interrupts everyone else's good time because she's 'paranoid'] or she does what she can to make sure the drink is safe - which is what she did. And then got kicked out for it. she could also just politely refuse the drink with any number of excuses rather than accusing the host of the party of being a potential rapist. refusing the drink is fine, he should have asked before he started handing out drinks. "no, thanks, i've had enough" is a great excuse. "are you trying to poison me" is not a good excuse everyone was drunk and dumb in this story, and said drunk poo poo that caused problems

White people do probably know more about white people culture wrt the narrative that is peddled to us to incite racist beliefs among whites.

Why do so many of you think this guy was wearing a "I will drug and rape you" shirt? Vast majority of the time a woman is drugged to be raped, the rapist seems like a nice guy. Besides, she asked a coworker she knew well enough if she watched the drink be made and he overheard it. She didn't come right out and say "You could have drugged that to rape me" she continued to decline the drink while he inferred all kinds of poo poo and made a scene.

I have the time to fruitlessly try to educate you dips about the insanely high rates of acquaintance rape because I no longer attend private happy hours. I also have been promoted only once in 15 years. Have you never been in a social situation where everyone else wants to do something and you don't, but you go anyways because you're the ride?

Pick posted:Wait did someone suggest that SBC helps reclaim the unfair perception of African American culture? Look at the end of the day, twisty rhetoric can get you a decent grade on a college essay, but the contents of those stories absolutely reinforce a racist narrative. It's like how pride parades have done jack poo poo in the last 20 years to make straight people think homosexuals aren't just a horny pain in the rear end. It's not fair but the rules were written by the power brokers. I get what you're saying but this attitude also puts the onus on individual members of a race to "represent" their entire race in public. No one is asking you and me why we're ok shooting up Walmarts full of Mexicans, for example. I think we can extend the courtesy to a POC to be allowed to post about their hosed up shitbag lives/decisions without fretting about what it says (or what we worry others think it says) about their race or whatever. As teenage witch said, it doesn't matter how good or bad you behave - at the end of the day you are what you are in the eyes of a racist.

And let's say she decides to submit to peer pressure and take the drink because he's making a scene and he says "Okay, sorry about that, you can stay" and it ends up that she was right to be cautious because he drugs and rapes her? I feel there would be a lot of "Why would you accept a drink from someone you don't know that well and didn't see being made?" because she absolutely must be at fault somehow.

She tried to quietly ask her friend if she saw the drink being made, the guy started directly confronting her about it and demanding explanations, and made her do the socially awkward thing of either caving and taking the drink against her boundaries or verbalizing her reasons for refusing the drink, instead of just letting her quietly pass on the drink. Honestly if it was me I'd probably take the drink, ask my friend if she'd seen it made, and then toss it specifically in case the guy acted like a giant argumentative baby about it like he did. AITA for not knowing my BFs ethnicity? quote:My BF and I have been together for roughly three years. The last time we talked about his ethnicity was within our first couple of dates years ago.

These motherfuckers both made the post and then submitted it to Reddit to vote on their relationship. AITA for wanting my girlfriend to wear makeup and take care of body hair? quote:I know how the title sounds, hear me out. My [26M] gf [24F] takes forever in the bathroom. Upwards of 1 hour, sometimes closer to 2. When I playfully ribbed her about this, she'd get irritated but nothing major. 3 months ago I was playfully teasing her and she flipped out. She said she won't do anything anymore, and true to her word she hasn't shaved, waxed, or put on makeup since then, and wears her hair looking like bedhead. I told her that I got her point and would appreciate it if she resumed doing things that I also do to stay presentable. Her head hair improved a bit (although not even close to how it was before) but she still has hair on her legs and underarms, semi-unibrow etc. Now she's saying I have to pay her to resume taking care of herself, which I find crazy as I'm not her sugar daddy. Why should I pay for her to upkeep herself like she's my sugar baby?

Really though, women can’t win. If we’re overly cautious, we’re seen as being bitchy and suspicious. Have a little trust in someone? Whoops, your friend just date raped you even though you probably were into him in the first place.

AITA for grounding my daughter because she called my SIL a “slut”?quote:My daughter (14yo) posted a picture of a family get together on social media. A boy from school recognized her aunt from an adult film and messaged my daughter about it. I believe he sent a video to her as well. Before this, she had no idea her aunt was in the industry. It appears that boy spread this around the school and my daughter is being teased for it. I notified the school and they are looking into it and will plan to educate the students about sexism online.

I feel like this must be a guy myth, like Stranger Danger: the idea that someone who would roofie a drink would broadcast unmistakable creep vibes and be easy to avoid. There's no way to tell, and right now you probably know at least two or three people who've attempted date rape but would never suspect.

chitoryu12 posted:AITA for grounding my daughter because she called my SIL a “slut”? The daughter is the only real victim here. While SIL didn't consent to being doxxed, she absolutely did consent to having her videos passed around and the negative social consequences that are affecting not only her, but this kid who is still in middle school. For practical reasons she shouldn't keep an online presence that is connected to her real name and family. She exposed her niece to this risk. The fact that people look down on adult film actors kind of sucks, but she's the adult here and should have taken steps to protect the rest of her family who are not involved in her career.
