I’m sorry to hear about your rape. I have a daughter, and we talk all the time about these sorts of things all the time.
Trying to teach her how to be situationally aware, and that respect is earned and not owed. I also told her how to use some of her self-defense stuff and that the non-lethal stuff is always something you can apologize for if you got the wrong vibe and acted out of an abundance of caution.
For men and women both, the trick is wanting what you’ve got. That includes your experiences. It’s never the circumstances, its who and how you made it through the shit.
I’ve been divorced now going on the third year, and I’d love to meet a woman who was like minded but totally her own person. Haven’t even started looking.
As a Christian woman, I am disgusted and appalled at how rigged and unbalanced our systems are against men. I don’t get it. I am so sorry for your unjust treatment...but grateful you started this thread despite the anger and pain it is bringing back to you and your family. God bless you and know that your words of caution will possibly help some guy down the road who may have had his eyes opened a bit. (I just now said to hubby...never be alone in a room with a woman at work!)
I would challenge that law in federal court. Equal protection..........................
“They never even got back to me. DISMISSED”
My educational degrees are Geology, Pharmacy, and Chemisty. I have degrees in Geology and Pharmacy and also almost aviation. When studying pharmacy I was a flight instructor and taught the kids in aviation. I could have also had a degree in aviation if I desired but my prime motive was to finish pharmacy school and make money again. The oilfield went down the tubes in 1983 and my geology degree was no longer of value. I went back to school to become a pharmacist. A couple of courses and I would have had an aviation degree but it was of no importance. In Pharmacy I have enough chemistry for a degree in that school but the chemistry department did not recognize out pharmaceutical courses as valid chemistry.
That is just a turf fight between chemistry and pharmacy. That is okay as we pharmacy grads made a lot more money than the chem grads. The rare times I have been called for jury duty I have been dismissed. The prosecution does not want logical thinkers schooled in science.
No, I have never been asked to do jury duty. No lawyer is gonna want a doctor on the jury.
