Why is female on female sexual abuse never talked about?

There are a lot, lot more female abusers (who do this to women and men) out there than commonly thought.

A few reasons it is under-discussed. One is that women always get the benefit of the doubt; men almost never do. A second is that you’re seen as weak — even as a woman — if you let another woman abuse you. Makes no sense, but there you go.

I personally knew (one is dead) or know three different women who have been sexually abused by other women. Since I don’t know many people, that indicates to me it is far more common than reported.

But women getting the benefit of the doubt occurs in all areas. As one commenter points out, “No one believes that a woman can harm or hurt someone even if they are witnessing it happening right in front of them.” Men only wish they got the leeway and the lenience that women routinely receive.

Instead, men are told we are “creeps” for just occupying space, doing nothing at all.

Yes. Canada will become “Norther Dakota.”

I don’t think Canada will collapse, though. Just become a lot more like Mexico, as they let in too many feral third worlders, and will incur the consequences of that.

Kicks

If you’d written that story, no one would’ve believed it could depict anything possibly true.

But the real world disagreed. We’ve decided to sacrifice women so migrant rapists can get their kicks. What the fuck are we even doing here?

American auto companies killing their EVs and Americans not embracing EVs is fucking insane. Just a huge idiotic self-own. No matter what doofish decisions are made now, the simple fact is — despite the screechers on the left and the right — that electric vehicles are the future. The rights’s absolutely moronic “batteries, solar and wind are gay” is just as dumb as the left’s most braindead beliefs, and probably more consequential.

And part of why EVs are inevitable is because they mean total energy independence from Gulf states and other places we’d prefer not be sending truckloads of money to as well as relying on for basic operations.

You Have Misunderstood Friendship.

The idea that people should simply exclude half the human population from the pool of potential friends is extraordinary to me. If you genuinely cannot fathom why anyone would ever have a friend of the opposite sex, I would suggest that you cannot really fathom friendship at all.

I know that one has been in my “Links” posts, but wanted to say a little bit about this. I also find it nearly-unutterably idiotic the idea that men and women cannot be friends. I’m extremely grateful for my women friends. I am not “orbiting” them (whatever that means); they are not orbiting me. We hang out. We do fun things. We watch movies. We share thoughts, ideas, and advice. We laugh.  We visit museums. We go to restaurants. Just like male friends (though most of my friends are in fact women).

The fear beneath the dogmatic claim that heterosexual men and women cannot be friends is, of course, that friendship might lead to romantic or sexual attraction, with all the complications that could follow, particularly if one or both people are already in relationships. But this concern reflects a curiously immature understanding of human relationships. Mature human beings generally move through the world encountering many attractive people while simply not acting on that fact. Attraction does not compel any action and, in partnered adults with rudimentary impulse control, it generally functions as an observation that passes through the mind and passes out again.

Exactly. I find all my women friends beautiful in different ways. That does not mean we have to sleep together. Anyway, why in hell would I want to hang out with someone of either gender I did not find attractive or interesting in some way? Sounds stupid, like something a clown would do. And I’ve spent my life attempting to avoid clownish shit.

Men who cannot be friends with women and vice versa are intellectually stunted and not full human beings. Simple as that.

Cuts

Chill Annoying, Clowns

The economist idea that AI is not eliminating jobs is ludicrous. Of course it is. The best models now can do about 95% of 10% people’s jobs already. All white collar, of course. In a few years, it’ll be 40% of white collar jobs.

That MBAs won’t cut jobs like Freddy Kruger slicing up people is fucking absurd. Of course they are and will.
