    Why So Much Trinity Bashing?

    All of these converts lived in Jerusalem, not just the priests. I'm going to regret asking. What does the book of Isaiah have to do with the Nazarenes?

    Why So Much Trinity Bashing?

    Stick a fork in me, I'm done.

    How shall we correct this injustice?

    The POINT is that a woman can be black and blue from head to toes, and it's still a he said, she said, and it seems like only the he said matters. There is no such thing as an assault that is consensual. People who enjoy BDSM are not assaulting each other.

    How shall we correct this injustice?

    I'm not an expert. But to the best of my understanding, for people who enjoy BDSM, it's always consensual and has safewords. The kind of violence we've been talking about is NOT consensual. It's an attack. You are asking some very strange questions. It's kind of creeping me out. I'm sorry...

    How shall we correct this injustice?

    Each instance was unique. One friend was drugged by someone she thought was a friend at a bar, and has no idea where she was assaulted, only that she woke up on the street. One friend from junior high went to her friend's house, and the mother left to run an errand. During that time, she was...

    How shall we correct this injustice?

    It's been a long time since I've studied this (I used to teach) so it's possible that new research has come out. But what I remember is this: both boys and girls do much better academically when segregated. But it comes at a price, that being they don't learn how to socialize with each other...

    How shall we correct this injustice?

    I've never known any woman who has ever been alone in the woods. That was part of a hypothetical that was not even made up by me, but seems to have been an internet meme.

    How shall we correct this injustice?

    I'm saying a man can become sexually aroused, not because he is around sexual stimuli, but because of violence and aggression.

    Why the double standard?

    I think you are avoiding the obvious.

    How shall we correct this injustice?

    As much as I appreciate everything you said, I just don't see it making a bit of difference to the problem.

    Why the double standard?

    This is soooo not convincing. It just doesn't explain the difference in reporting.

    Why the double standard?

    I wouldn't use the word conspiracy because it implies secrecy. I think antisemitism is very up front and in your face.

    How shall we correct this injustice?

    Well, let's just say that unlike bear attacks, I have known a great many women that have been attacked by men.

    Why So Much Trinity Bashing?

    The idea that Jesus was God was not present at all in the Jewish population in Jerusalem. That idea would have been inconceivable. It was only in the Hellenized world that gods incarnated. You had Hellenized Jews like Paul, who came from Tarsus, who suggested Jesus was more than human. But...

    How shall we correct this injustice?

    One of the things I learned from watching Prof. Robert Sapolskies Stanford lecture series in Behavioral Biology, is that the hypothalamus, specifically the medial preoptic area (MPOA), which is a key brain structure associated with sexual arousal in men, also has connections to aggression and...

    How shall we correct this injustice?

    Just a bit ago, I was telling another forum member how my family camps out at Yosemite each summer. I've encountered more bears than I can count, but none have attacked me or anyone else. But I also think that if you google black bears, you will find out that they are very shy and avoid people...

    How shall we correct this injustice?

    The statistics actually vary widely. I've seen everything from 1 out of 3 to 1 out of 10. RAINN puts it at 1 out of 6. It depends on a great many factors. How the question is worded. Who is doing the questioning. What population is being questioned. I went with the 1 out of 4 statistic...

    How shall we correct this injustice?

    I wondered if it might be India, because that is what I get the most news feeds about. But AI says it is South Africa that is the rape capital of the world. Did I get that right about you? If I shared what I think should happen to rapists and child molesters, I would get kicked out of this...

    How shall we correct this injustice?

    I'm not sure why you are bringing up sex. Rape has nothing to do with sex. It has to do with power, control, and domination. I thought the old, "Rape is the fault of the woman, because she was dressed immodestly" had died out. I see I was wrong. OMG, no there's not. OMG I can't believe you...

    How shall we correct this injustice?

    Very good post. I was a little iffy about the above remark. It seems to suggest you think rape is about sex. It's not. Rape is about power, control, domination. I do understand what you are saying about celebrity rape and entitlement. But even in those cases, I don't think they would have...
