I’m sorry if I’ve offended anyone in my few hours on this site. I have my logic and I have my opinions, plus the language that goes with them. I have no beef with anyone, really, and I hope no-one has any beef with me for this:
Everyone’s a critic. Grow the hell up and get used to it. Yeah, I’m still in high school, and yeah, I’m pretty outspoken for my age and grade. I have a facebook, but I don’t go around blowing up people’s newsfeeds with my random rants. I’ve been through some tough shit, so you’ll have to be patient with me.
Try posting your stuff in the MPSIMS area (Mundane pointless stuff I must share). Don’t be put off by the title - stuff in there is often neither mundane nor pointless.
People are nicer in there. They will give you sympathy, and often good advice.
This is the pit. People are not nice in here. Sometimes they are even gross.
It’s cool. When women speak out there’s a chorus of voices trying to shout them down. I think the community could stand to give newbs a little more slack than they’ve been lately. Especially when a woman is telling about her experience of unwanted sexual solicitation/harassment/assault. There are many who don’t want to hear about those behaviors and how prevalent they are. All the more reason for women to speak up about it.
I’m kind of a complicated person - costody battles and having a front row seat to my mother’s abusive boyfriends have done that to me…I might go check out that Mundane pointless whatever, but I kinda like it in the Pit. Hell, I’ve been in many pits, and this one ain’t much different. Guess that’s why I’m such an angry person.
I’m pretty sure I just explained that, actually. Really, I’m just some random-ass kid with a temper. Hell, from what I’ve seen, what person here isn’t?
Yes, you’ve got it, we’re all a bunch of misogynists here. (And gross. Don’t forget gross.)
When newbies who are men speak out, all of us guys get together and support them. We only shout women down. Because we’re secretly all guilty whenever a pig tries to hit on a nice girl.
Actually, this is just pitting, I guess. Like I said, I have no beef with anyone here. I’m just new and thought this would be the perfect place to rant. to Get some new (if slightly disturbing and perverted) opinions on the shit that makes me angry.
I don’t like dictionaries. The definitions are long and confusing. I much prefer a thesaurus, although I don’t own one, currently. I’d google it or go to thesaurus.com, but I’m here from mobile view.
While there is often a tendency in our culture to pay more attention to men than to women, and there are also times when sexual harassment and violence against women is downplayed or dismissed by some people, that’s not what went on here.
Firstly, from the information we have, the college kid’s sole crime was hitting on St_Jimmy. There was, at least from what we know so far, no harassment or assault. Making small talk and trying to get a member of the opposite sex interested in you is not a crime, nor is it harassment until the person tells you that he or she is not interested. And it’s definitely not assault.
Had St_Jimmy’s story been about actual harassment or assault, my experience on this message board tells me that there would most likely have been a fairly substantial outpouring of sympathy and advice. As far as we know, though, all the guy did was deliver some fairly lame pick-up lines and tried to “give [her] money and shit.”
I’d like to know whether St_Jimmy told the kid to take a hike. If she did, and he kept hassling her, then he’s a douchebag. But if we’re the only people she has told about her annoyance, you can hardly blame the guy for trying. You do actual harassment and assault victims no favors by lumping their experiences in with some college kid who’s just trying to get a girl interested in him.
