      <![CDATA[@13:  Neither one of us knows what went down.  Your guess is exactly that: a guess.  She was asking Dan whether or not she should seek an apology for what was personally traumatic for her.  She herself set aside what his intentions may or may not have been- it shook her up and lingered in her mind, so she wants to resolve it.  My point is it's not known if this qualifies as "normal-ass adolescent fumblings" and it doesn't matter.  She was simply asking Dan a question, not screaming rape at what might (or might not) have been a clueless 14-year old boy.  I think her response is pretty measured.

Where in the First Amendment does it say speech is limited to low power radio stations? "Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech." Clear enough?<br />
<br />
No law means no law. It doesn't mean, Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech except broadcasts above 1 watt. It doesn't say that.<br />
<br />
You crazy gun fuckers go nutso bazoo if somebody talks about doing background checks, or limiting magazine size, or limiting assault weapons. <i>Then</i> "shall not be infringed" is sacrosanct. Forget "well regulated" am I right? Shall. Not. Be. Infringed.<br />
<br />
Gimmie my bazooka. Gimmie my attack submarine. <br />

      <![CDATA[@7, I think Dan's advice has the potential to COMPLETELY change WSN's outlook. This may be the first time in her life she's been able to see the event from a 14-year-old boy's perspective. She's been carrying this victim thing around for 7 years, probably egged on by the feminist view that any unwanted sexual contact is a violation. Most of the time that's true... but how guilty can a spindly little teenybopper with an out of control schmeckel be? Neither one of them knew what the hell they were doing. If she just steps back and considers the event with a bit more of an open mind, she'll get all the closure she could hope for. And maybe then, in the words of Carrie Bradshaw, she can truly enjoy feeling  "the weight of a man on me."

      <![CDATA[@6: Please, there are outreach programs to help the homeless find work and find homes. If you institutionalize homelessness as a viable option with permanent encampments, I regret to say that a sizable percentage will have no motivation and will increase its capacity to the maximum. Then what, more and more encampments?<br />
Treat the mentally ill and help people to get to a better place so that they fee empowered with pride and not a become permanent ward of the State.<br />
Just look at San Francisco, and you'll know what I'm talking about.<br />

      <![CDATA[The other point is - we can do both.  Under subarea equity, Sound Transit will be required to spend money both in the city and on suburban connections like an East Link spur to Issaquah, finishing the line to Redmond, and finally building south past Federal Way. Murray wants to get rid of subarea equity, ostensibly so that we can build these suburban lines without investing here in the city.  <br />
<br />
I think Ed Murray would make a fantastic mayor of lots of cities.  Just not Seattle.

But this woman's reaction is well into the outlier territory and is by no means proportional or typical. She obviously has a lot of other shit going on and I doubt this issue is the source of all that ails her.

      <![CDATA[14 year old boys cum at the drop of a hat, I don't think it's the ejaculation itself that's upsetting her.  I think she's upset about the dry humping, because maybe at 14 herself she didn't know what it was and she feels like he was using her as a masturbatory aid, which could certainly feel dehumanizing.  For it to still bother her now means it must have been pretty aggressive on his part.  He doesn't seem like a very respectful boyfriend if he grabbed for her boobs too, and as a 14 year old girl, you'd feel very vulnerable.  I think she'd be best off talking to a councilor.  It is a pretty typical experience to have a slightly aggro douchey boyfriend early on and not know how to control their angsty overwhelming sexual needs (or dump them) which really can be scary.  I can see how at 14 that could get to you way more than it would at 16, which is when this sort of thing was happening to me.  I don't ever recall anyone asking permission to dry hump and in retrospect that is a little sketchy.  Especially if I wasn't into it.  You'd feel used.  It is still bothering her, and talking to someone about it might just help. Talking to female friends about it too might be a good idea as well, I'm sure a lot of people could relate and be respectful listeners about her experience.  The former comment about maybe reenacting it in the way she'd have wanted it to happen, or in a positive way seems promising if she can do it without being triggered, she'd be the best judge of that. And she'd have to be in total control the whole time.
