I agree LW appears to be massively overreacting, however I am wondering what else might have been in her letter to Dan, since he apparently edits them for space. If this was truly a case of a 14 yr old coming in his pants on what was maybe his very first hump/makeout session with a real live female - can he really be blamed for that at that age? Grabbing a 14 yr old girl's tits and being rough or harsh or insensitive about it - was this done in public? Out of the blue/outside of a makeout session? If that was the case - and if the girl was especially sensitive/innocent/young for her age then I can see that feeling shitty and feeling perhaps like a violation.
However, context is everything, as is perspective, and maturity. At 21, one would hope she would have gained some of that by now, but she unfortunately still feels traumatized by this experience. Some girls do have traumatic first experiences.
Calling the cops is an insane idea, needless to say.
Hopefully Dan has help put this into perspective for her. How many 14 yr old boys are especially sensitive in a sexual situation? How many of them have any semblance of control over their dicks? Perspective, baby.

@25 Jussmbdy:
"Sorry, but this girl/woman sounds like a perpetual victim to me, a not uncommon type of woman"
Really? So this is "not uncommon" amongst womenfolk, you say? Guess what, gay man: we straight gals are on your side. We are your best pals. For example, many of us worked and work to bring marriage equality to our states, (the overwhelming majority of people in my state who volunteered for this - and made it happen -were straight women).
Try and be a bit on our side instead of making blanket ignorant dickbag asshole statements like this about us, 'kay? Unless you're cool with people making blanket ignorant dickbag anti-gay statements about homos.

Velvetbabe commented on SL Letter of the Day: Did You Think I Was Going To Tell You Not To Come Out? (PLUS: Help Free Kate!).
Also, it's laughable that at 18 suddenly you are an "adult" in the eyes of the law. You're still an absolute idiot child for several years hence. I know the line needs to be drawn somewhere, but do they not look at the specific, individual circumstances? Seeing as these girls dated prior to Kate hitting 18 - doesn't that sort of tell you everything you need to know? 1) that they were a couple already, and 2) that the motivations of the younger girl's parents could not be clearer?
I'd love to hear from the younger girl, though. Is she supportive of this for some reason? Bitter breakup? Have the parents filled her mind with insane ideas about this? Or does she genuinely feel in some way violated by the older girl? If none of these, then it's a doubly sickening shame what they are doing to their own daughter.

Velvetbabe commented on "Hillary Clinton needs to be convicted, she needs to be tried, convicted and shot in the vagina. I wanna pull the trigger.".
The full quote:
‘Miss Hillary Clinton needs to be convicted, she needs to be tried, convicted and shot in the vagina,” he said. “I wanna pull the trigger. That ‘C U Next Tuesday’ has killed human beings that are in our ranks of our service. I want to remind you that in Benghazi, Miss Hillary ‘the fricken’ biggest vagina on the face of the planet’ told troops to stand down and to not go in and interfere with the operation that they set up because they’re moving arms; Barack Obama is moving drugs through the CIA out of Afghanistan and Barack Obama needs to be tried, convicted, and shot for crimes against the United States of America.”
Disturbing how these guys are so openly, unashamedly, blatantly misogynistic - no desire even to pretend otherwise, or curb it some. "CU Next Tuesday", hmm, what could that refer to? And not just being shot, but being shot in the vagina? Can you conjure up a more violent, specific-to-women image than a gunshot to the twat? And that she is also 'the biggest vagina on the face of the planet"? So 'vagina' is now an insult?
Of course, Obama also needs to be shot ... yet not in the nuts? Just in the boring old head?
Hmm.

McGee, seriously - it's neither the time nor place for hurling schoolyard insults like 'fatso', surely?
Let's quit with this shit, people. Out-sandbox each other time, please.

So surreal, too, to see buildings and businesses you've known, a street, a neighborhood you've lived in, known and hung out in off & on for most of your life plastered all over the news like this.
Just an unreal day.

3 confirmed dead, and many of the injured and mangled are kids. They were fucking cheering people on - some of whom were running for charities.
Just a sick, sick day. So hurting for the people whose lives and bodies have been decimated by this. They woke up this morning, all of them, looking forward to this day.

Eva, if I may ... I haven't been on slog long - year and a half, maybe, but being the chronic comment reader that I am - of all sites I visit, news, and otherwise, I have read a lot of yours and just wanna say you are always level headed and un-nasty and that is really cool and refreshing to see/read.
