(42,364 posts)Remember when that horrible case came out of the football players drugging, raping and filming a girl they had drugged?
My youngest son was in early HS at the time. I told him about it while driving him from band practice.
His response: "That's disgusting."
I love my kids.
youre doing it right.

He hasn't disappointed me.

(297,468 posts)She's going to buy her son a video camera? Yeah, that's a brilliant idea. Nothing says "I'm not a creep" like asking a girl if you can videotape your encounter so she can't accuse you of rape. That's a real turn-on.

(32,703 posts)I don't know any 25 year old women who wear this much makeup.
Especially ... eyebrows? Looks suspicious AF.
Just sayin'
On edit: I'm talking about the photo of Laura Loomer, but maybe she has a reason to post a fake photo (?) so she can't be traced in real life. (I don't know and don't care)

(28,081 posts)and I can't say I was able to tell the religion of any of my cab drivers - except the one who had a rosary hanging in the cab, I'm pretty sure he wasn't Muslim.
Of course, I wasn't really thinking about it.

(61,690 posts)I asked the oldest if he felt that white men were under attack. He said yes. He said that he and everybody else in the country are under attack by the Republicans. Other than that, no. He sounded mildly exasperated.
My next oldest son fills his Facebook feed with posts that say things like "coercion is not consent" and "I believe her. I believe you."
Our youngest is still a teen. I see no evidence of disrespect for women.
It's not rocket science. Respect people. Don't attack them.

The simplest answer is often the best solution.
The key to not being an asshole is .....
Don't be an asshole.
