Malfunction

Use "New Math" as your starting point: "Every answer is right as long as you get an answer and remember that numbers are relative." Or you could take the Fruedian view of math... "You are not good at math because you mom didn't change your diaper one day when you were a baby." Then there is the skydiver's view of math: "60 seconds to the end of your life, 13000 feet to the ground, 7 other jumpers with me. What was the jump sequence again?" Remember, the professor is only 1 chapter ahead of you and the answers are in the back of the book...

Been Lurking, but suddenly had a huge impulse to respond to this bold comment. Val, do you really believe that rape should be one of the last things a guy should be thinking about? Come on, with all the rape charges flying around like they are going out of style, should I really be ignoring the fact that only 30% of the female population (1 out of 3 PEOPLE, so 1 out of 3 females and 1 out of 3 males) have some sort of vd but potentially 100% of women can claim rape? Should I really believe that vd is more of a threat than a rape charge? You of all people should know (since you have the research) that once rape is claimed, it is either convicted or the charges are dropped. Hardly ever is a rape charge ruled in favor of the defendant, and less than 1% of that is ruled in favor of the defendant if the defendant is male. When cases are ruled on and judgments made like the one in the first post of this thread, it opens the door to any woman anywhere claiming rape anytime, and they don't even have to say "NO" for it to be upheld in court. And you say you don't see men having to tread lightly in today's day and age? Rulings like this put men EVEN MORE on the slippery slope, as if we weren't already. Would you like to know how quickly a rape charge can be brought forth? I had a girlfriend of 6 months, and finally we decided to consummate our relationship. It was agreed on and during the act, there were no clues, subtle or otherwise, that would make either of us stop. Afterwards, we laid together for roughly 5 minutes until she got up to get a cigarette; I went to the bathroom. By the time I came back, she was dressed, and walking out the door, and I was facing a rape charge the next day. Tell me, where was the rape? The court system agreed with her until the day of the ruling when she dropped all charges. The slippery slope has been an issue for me and (generalizing) men since the courts first ruled that "No means No and Yes could mean No, depending on the situation." Since the majority of this thread has been dedicated to the original post, my response is as well; it should NOT have been a rape charge because she DID NOT SAY OR IMPLY "NO." She simply implied that she needed to go home...hell, I need to go home too, but I didn't say "NO," did I. Granted, Cali has already passed that ridiculous law. IMO, it hinders men's rights almost to the point of where women's rights were before the Women's Lib movement. Men now can not look at, talk to, touch, kiss, have sex with, call, visit, listen to or argue with a woman in today's society or face the possibility of herassment, rape, domestic abuse or gender discrimination.[soap box -- getting off now... the soap box that is... damn, another herassment charge coming from someone] Rape is such a quick trigger response for many women and it is a probability response for the rest. Regardless whether you have or will or want to claim rape, the probability is there because the judicial system in America has decided that we don't need the burden of proof in rape cases; it is always guilty and proven guilty. -Mal

yeah, but the (pardon the pun) cover up for Janet was just too much. I had a wardrobe malfunction once, and got charged for indescent exposure. The wall looked like a urinal to me!!! I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend to the death your right to say it. - Voltaire

Funny,I am currently in the same situation. I see my girlfriend maybe once a month if I am lucky. I do get to call her about once a week and emails are a quick way to just drop a note. My circumstances were work and money related. I love her with all my heart, and I would never do anything to lose her. I treat each day like I go home to her. With love, it can work, but it has to be done by both people. I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend to the death your right to say it. - Voltaire

Maybe I am in the minority, but I too took offence to Janet's performance, after a couple seconds of trying to figure out what I just saw. Then to hear the excuse of "Wardrobe Malfunction" was equally appalling. edited: because I felt rewording was needed.
