Check out cereta's post On rape and men (Oh yes, I'm going there) if you missed it when she posted it in June. (I missed it.) She talks about need for men to be pro-active to stop or prevent rape and to call their buddies on it when they're being ( Read more... )

cereta's post was excellent. I caught it when it was first posted and thought it was on target.

I just posted a response-comment to Inlovewithnight's journal. Her post makes a lot of sense, but at the same time I feel obliquely honor-bound to defend what often seems like my indefensible gender. I rambled a hell of a lot and probably made little sense, and what I wrote will most likely be taken as "Oh, that's so typical for a man to say, what bullshit", but hell, 'Night hates me anyways so why not just say something instead of swallowing my words like I usually do.

*shrug* I don't think I give a damn anymore.

*nods* I hope everything at the Town Hall goes smoothly and they do check IDs. I have to say that I'm jealous you're going to hear Howard Dean as I have a bit of a political crush on him.

Totally. Especially when the writers admit to the problems and say the script is actually going to address it. I want to ask them if they've ever watched the 15 seasons and 2 made-for-TV movies of the other shows they wrote because I have. (Well, not all, but enough.)
