They want to make the subtle implications. Example, when someone makes a meme about Israel and American politicians but says "jews" instead of Netanyahu. Sometimes I want to add that nuance for them, and other times I'm like nah, they meant that. npub1tv5j2h2742ht2a6490cdzypsxah5wlge5qyutadgphw884ynt8mqg4jlst hmichellerose so ...its okay for a woman to consider a man dangerous by default and keep her distance from him to avoid SA? npub1tv5j2h2742ht2a6490cdzypsxah5wlge5qyutadgphw884ynt8mqg4jlst hmichellerose depends who started it and if they were at the same level of intoxication. and having not been there I can't say. But someone who's too intoxicated to consent is probably also too intoxicated to text the group chat about the "free pussy" upstairs. npub1tv5j2h2742ht2a6490cdzypsxah5wlge5qyutadgphw884ynt8mqg4jlst hmichellerose not quite sure what you mean. But no one can consent to anything when they are heavily intoxicated, male or female. they can't consent to sex, they can't consent to givng you their new iphone, nada. If you encounter a heavily intoxicated person you help them to bed. You give them a sandwich and a cup of tea, you absolutely do not try to have sex with them, you do not try to talk them into giving you their wallet, etc.. male or female. they are too altered. help them, don't try to take from them.

We aren't there now, but we should be. Even if we assume that one out of 10 people would commit rape, in a busy room, if 9 out of ten people would stop a rape, then your daughter would be totally fine. We have such a big cultural issue with excusing rape and looking the other way when it happens. That is very fixable and we need to fix it like yesterday. npub1tv5j2h2742ht2a6490cdzypsxah5wlge5qyutadgphw884ynt8mqg4jlst hmichellerose https://youtu.be/TdrL3QxjyVw npub1tv5j2h2742ht2a6490cdzypsxah5wlge5qyutadgphw884ynt8mqg4jlst hmichellerose And just cuz I think It’s hilarious, I’m showing you a glamorous photo of me while I tell you a very unglamorous story.

I sat at the bar with the friend that I was there with, but it happened that there was another dude sitting a few seats away. He was very friendly. He chimed in on the conversation. He was very likely a bit autistic and told me all about the sports he likes. At some point in the evening he bought me a drink. We debated what to put on the jukebox and sang and danced along to Destiny's Child and N sync. When it came my time to go I said good night and thanked him for the drink. He said "thanks for your existence" and gave me a hug. And here is the thing, I think he meant that. I don't think he was trying to get laid, or trying to close a business deal, or trying to be in the right place at the right time to climb up some social status hierarchy. I think he was just genuinely happy to have shared a slice of life with another creature. How often do you encounter a person who tells you "thanks for your existence" and means it?? npub1tv5j2h2742ht2a6490cdzypsxah5wlge5qyutadgphw884ynt8mqg4jlst hmichellerose I’ve read a lot of things on Economics, I have a whole degree in Economics! But the below are the ones that I think about the most. Which econ books/writings are your favorites and why? Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell – I love this book for it’s ability to explain topics in such a simple and easy to digest fashion. The Mystery of Banking by Murray Rothbard – taught me more monetary theory than my whole university degree. The Use of Knowledge in Society by Friedrich Hayek – Far too dense to share with normies, but it does such an amazing job of explaining that prices are how we crowd source info on the needs and wants of a society. Why Nations Fail by Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson – I think about this book nearly everyday. There are so many theories out there as to what makes a country “great” and this book destroyed my ability to take nearly any of them seriously. npub1tv5j2h2742ht2a6490cdzypsxah5wlge5qyutadgphw884ynt8mqg4jlst hmichellerose O it's complex. But ya know most predators were themselves victims. Assault can leave someone pretty messed up and if you manage that trauma by leaning into anger(misplaced anger) and by trying to prove it won't happen again by dominating before you can be dominated... then you become a predator. npub1tv5j2h2742ht2a6490cdzypsxah5wlge5qyutadgphw884ynt8mqg4jlst hmichellerose Men are perfectly capable of being both horny and respectful. Rape is not caused by testosterone. Rape is caused by poor moral values. Rape happens when there is horniness mixed with the concept that it’s appropriate to dominate/denigrate/control others. npub1tv5j2h2742ht2a6490cdzypsxah5wlge5qyutadgphw884ynt8mqg4jlst hmichellerose https://blossom.primal.net/4cbabd5e185c99f3384f1eaecc896ffe7ff65a6d80d11dc9a736aab5efebb6ff.jpg npub1tv5j2h2742ht2a6490cdzypsxah5wlge5qyutadgphw884ynt8mqg4jlst hmichellerose If you are someone who has ever asked yourself “if they were assaulted why did they act like everything was fine?”, or “why didn’t they report it sooner/at all?” or “If they were being abused why didn’t they just leave?” If you ponder these things, if you genuinely want the answers, I have them for you! The answers can be found in two books… Trauma and Recovery by Dr Judith Herman Virginia Roberts Giuffre’s memoir Nobody’s Girls And I’d highly recommend reading them in that order. I need to warn you, these are tough reads. They contain stories of the worst of humanity, they are graphic. If you want to understand how the human mind manages trauma, those books are where the knowledge lies. npub1tv5j2h2742ht2a6490cdzypsxah5wlge5qyutadgphw884ynt8mqg4jlst hmichellerose But you can't teach people to be decent, can you? If you have to explain to someone why coercing someone into sex is a bad thing to do, then really you just need to stay away from that person. npub1tv5j2h2742ht2a6490cdzypsxah5wlge5qyutadgphw884ynt8mqg4jlst hmichellerose Consent is very easy to understand when you think about assault/rape like theft. You have a shiny new iPhone. You are hanging out with friends and one of them asks you to give them your new phone. You decline. This friend then waits for you to get nearly black out drunk and then asks you again and when you are busy rambling on about it they take your iPhone. Theft. You are alone with a friend in their car. they ask for your iPhone. You say no. They are twice your size. they push you into the corner, doors locked, and ask you for your iPhone another 15 times in a row. You know you aren't leaving that car with your iPhone, you stop struggling and let them take the iPhone so that you can just leave the car. Theft. Do you get it? npub1tv5j2h2742ht2a6490cdzypsxah5wlge5qyutadgphw884ynt8mqg4jlst hmichellerose https://blossom.primal.net/4192681e21950737cbf3aa9d9c043150b48f30d3229d07c43020e5c9d206e0c3.jpg npub1tv5j2h2742ht2a6490cdzypsxah5wlge5qyutadgphw884ynt8mqg4jlst hmichellerose Rape isn't a man vs woman issue, it's a cultural issue. Y'all would be shocked at the number of men I know who have also been assaulted. This issue comes from our zerosum hierarchical mindset. Rape is never about sex, it is always about power. For as long as we have a desperate need to be "above" overs, rape culture will continue. npub1tv5j2h2742ht2a6490cdzypsxah5wlge5qyutadgphw884ynt8mqg4jlst hmichellerose https://blossom.primal.net/58b52e72f5280b527237d59ca0feb6579089c2d71c6c95b3c2c0f7e282b81c21.jpg npub1tv5j2h2742ht2a6490cdzypsxah5wlge5qyutadgphw884ynt8mqg4jlst hmichellerose When I was in my early 20’s I went out drinking one night, by myself, a not infrequent occurrence… I was lonely. One evening there was some dude sitting next to me at the bar. We talked for hours. In hind sight I can see that I talked for hours and he humored me. I was lonely, that felt amazing. I wasn’t really that into him but we had a lot of fun and wound up going back to his place to sleep off all the drinks we had. We messed around a bit, but nothing much. We had only just met each other. In the morning he walked me to the train station. There were no issues. We kept in touch via telephone. One time he called me and invited me to come with him and his friends out to Arizona! I didn’t have money for a vacation. He insisted that he would cover it, the flights were cheap and he already had the room booked. I was very clear with him that I barely knew him and I didn’t know if I wanted to have sex with him. I told him very clearly that I didn’t want that to be the expectation. He said that was just fine, he wanted to get to know me, it would be fun. So I agreed to go. I was lonely. As soon as I got there and he picked me up I knew it wasn’t going to work out. When I was sober he was just crass and uninteresting. But I was there, it was only the weekend and so I decided to lean in and give it a try. We went skinny dipping in the hotel pool. That was fun. The second night we went out for drinks with his friends. He brought me my second glass of wine. I began to drink it and was in a great mood, was chatting with everyone and went outside to smoke a cigarette with new bar friends. As I was standing outside smoking I started to feel really weird. Like the alcohol hit me way too hard. I had only just started my second drink. I went back in and told him that I was feeling funny. “It’s probably just the heat. Drink your wine!” was his response. I did drink more of the wine. Before I even got to the bottom of that glass of wine I started to feel like my body was just shutting down. It’s a terrifying sensation. I told him I felt horrible, he suggested we head back to the hotel. I remember trying like hell to stay awake in the taxi. I remember trying to walk through the hotel lobby. I don’t remember much else. I woke up the next morning in the hotel room clothed, but not wearing the same clothes as I was the night before. I genuinely have no idea what happened to me that night. Your guess is as good as mine. The though of course crossed my mind that he may have drugged and raped me. But I immediately pushed that thought away. It’s such a horrific idea to hold, the idea that someone could really do that to you. I asked him what happened last night and he said “you weren’t feeling well. It was probably heat stroke. It gets people all the time out here.” I don’t have a problem with heat. I love heat. I live on a tropical island! It was absolutely fucking not heat stroke. But I chose to just believe that story. My whole life I’d been breathing in the victim blaming culture. The shame of what might have happened was far too intense to look directly at. Of course it would have been all my fault. If that’s what happened then it’s just proof of what a stupid slut I am. Why was I there if I did want him to fuck me? I should have chosen better. Of course it’s on me to always choose right. If he had rapped me that would be evidence of what poor choices I make. Evidence of how stupid and worthless I am. I chose to believe that nothing happened. I took a shower and tried not to vomit. I told no one. My period was a month late. I spent that month living with a cloud of shame hovering over me. It’s not a story I like to think about. I can think of him now only as a grotesque monster. Indeed he wasn’t a good looking dude at all, but it wasn't his face that made him monstrous. I can’t even remember his name. I don’t want to remember. But these experiences get trapped in our bodies. When we swallow them down they fester and poison us. We need to speak about these things. We need to tell the story as it was. We need shame to change sides. I don’t know exactly what happened to me that night, but I do know that I was drugged and that the person who drugged me is the person who owns the shame of that evening. npub1tv5j2h2742ht2a6490cdzypsxah5wlge5qyutadgphw884ynt8mqg4jlst hmichellerose I saw a post asking how the Cornell 7 story might have played out differently if the 7 had been black men.

I think that is dangerously wrong, and ironic. Our current cultural concept of being a “real man” is one of the best examples of the effectiveness of exclusion panic. We train boys from a young age to act invincible… show no weakness! This is a horrific thing to do to them. It makes them blind to themselves, cuts them off from community, cripples their humanity. But very often they absorb it, accept it. Why? Because if they don’t they will be excluded, ridiculed. They kill off parts of themselves because the exclusion panic is too great. Too effective. The concept of the "manly man" is dependent on exclusion panic to survive and perpetuate. npub1tv5j2h2742ht2a6490cdzypsxah5wlge5qyutadgphw884ynt8mqg4jlst hmichellerose Here is what is monumentally stupid about gender wars: We are interdependent, anything that is bad for half of humanity is bad for all of humanity. Let’s say that we find some flaw in humanity that only applies to men or women. Well, if it’s a problem for half of humanity, it’s a problem for all of humanity. The only reasonable response is to help improve the situation for the betterment of all of us. Should we find a flaw in one half of humanity and we try to use that to belittle, degrade, or diminish half of humanity, we are harming humanity as a whole. Do ya see that? npub1tv5j2h2742ht2a6490cdzypsxah5wlge5qyutadgphw884ynt8mqg4jlst hmichellerose This is so, so simple y'all. Men need women. Women need men. Anything that is bad for half of humanity is bad for all of humanity. The end. Gender wars are an utter fucking waste of time. An obvious rage bait divide and conquer. Please stop falling for it. npub1tv5j2h2742ht2a6490cdzypsxah5wlge5qyutadgphw884ynt8mqg4jlst hmichellerose Humans are a social species. A profound terror of not fitting in is built into us as a survival instinct. The more you deny it, the more susceptible you are to it. To manage it, learn to notice your exclusion panic and make conscious choices about it. npub1tv5j2h2742ht2a6490cdzypsxah5wlge5qyutadgphw884ynt8mqg4jlst hmichellerose I really highly recommend studying human sexuality for the very, very selfish reason that it will dramatically improve your enjoyment of your love life. And cuz I’m such a thoughtful person, I’ll tell you my best ever tip for having a better love life… Context. I know, that sounds super unsexy, but please trust me, it’s the sexiest thing ever! For pretty much everyone, but generally even more so for women, context sets the bounds of your ability to enjoy an encounter. Also generally for women, safety is a primary concern. Even if they are currently in a safe and healthy relationship, quite likely the hypervigilance necessary in previous times in their life is still with them. Parasympathetic nervous system activation is necessary for arousal. Translation, if you can’t relax, if you don’t feel safe, you’ll never have an orgasm. This is of course a complex topic, exceptions apply, but that’s a good TLDR to remember. For me personally, to have an enjoyable experience, I have to feel safe, heard, understood, respected. If those elements are not in place, then my guards(hypervigulance) will stay with me. My guards will only take the night off if I’m convinced that I’m actually connecting with my partner. If I’m convinced that I’m actually being seen. So for me that pretty much always means a lot of conversation. A good date night for me nearly always starts with a long conversation while sharing a bottle of wine. Creating a relaxing conversation. Chiseled abs, fancy moves, a great playlist, none of that moves the needle for me. It’s all about the conversation. But you need to know what your context is. I’m really very boringly a pretty standard issue woman. And my trauma and complexities are also pretty standard issue. So if you are woman, my context is likely to work well for you too.

It’s just a word, and words don’t really matter, it’s just a sound. But, intentions do matter. I don’t care about the word itself, I care about the intention. “Bitch” is a good example. I will at times call a friend a “crazy bitch”, but in a playful context where it is clear that my intention is joking or even complementary. That same friend may have just yesterday encountered some asshole at a bar that got mad at her when she wasn’t interested in him and called her a “fucking bitch!” In that context it’s clear that his intention was to insult her and to insult her specifically because she is a woman. And this friend is going to respond to these two situations very differently. Same word, very different intentions. It’s always all about the intention.

Israeli citizens and residents including Jewish settlers are not subject to military courts. Also there is some due process, appeals are allowed, though they must be heard by a special court, and it seems that the standard procedural safeguards have been weakened. But the law does prohibit mitigation, commutation, or pardon, and it sets a 90-day deadline for execution after a final judgment.
