In reply to the discussion: "How to Avoid getting Raped" [View all]datasuspect
(26,591 posts)40. people in general need a backbone
and we could all stand to get more tough.

i've seen a man get his testicles cut off because he molested a child.
WE don't call the police.
that's MY experience. i didn't grow up in a safe place.
our grandfathers cut off japanese ears and our fathers were jolly green savages in 'nam.
everything centered around violence and alcohol, but women, children, and old people generally were protected and left to do womanly, childly, and elderly shit.
we lived at the intersection of blood, spit, and shit.
