    People who stutter know they stutter. If it frustrates you to listen to it, imagine how it frustrates them to be unable to speak! NO, please don't ever finish a stutterer's sentences. It really is disrespectful. S/he knows s/he's 'taking up your time,' and hates it, but how is your time more valuable than theirs? Honestly, they don't like it any more than you do, and if they could stop, you know they would! So please be kind and respecful and let them finish. Besides, the more pressure you put on them to hurry up, the worse the stuttering usually gets. You really aren't helping by 'helping,' even if you mean well.

    This is hardly a new phenomenon. Many adults 'acted out' against 'the system' as teens. The kids who do these things (and certainly not all teens do) do them for several reasons. They may simply be bored, and tearing up a store seems like a harmless thrill. They may be poor, and have come to resent stores full of cool stuff they think they'll never have. They're challenging authority, which is a natural thing, but not necessarily in the way they're doing it. They may be better-off financially, have never had to work for anything and so have no respect for others or their property. Or they may have deep problems at home but cannot lash out there because it's dangerous, so they lash out in an impersonal store.

    I think you are too close in age to these girls for this to be true pedophilia. When you are 23, they will be 20 and 21, and that's hardly any age difference at all. When you're 20, if you're still attracted primarily to 13 year olds, THEN maybe you should worry. (I don't, however, think girls of 13 and 14 are old enough for sex, because it is a big deal and a little more maturity really is needed in order to assure good mental and physical development.) There's no harm in being attracted to what *look* like small, underdeveloped breasts, but they need to be attached to a woman close to your age or older. So wait until you get a little older and see what 'develops' then, pun intended.

    Most whites are blissfully unaware of white privilege. They don't understand that for every opportunity a non-white might get, they get ten. They think their hard work is being ignored, but don't realize they get 'rewarded' every day for simply being white. They don't understand that racism is systemic, and is hidden within our institutions, like education, where we can't clearly see it and so can't eliminate it. But some of us do understand. Some of us have learned. And we are doing the best we can to spread the word to other whites about whiteness and privilege so we can help it end.

    in reply to: Reply To: Do many women orgasm during sex? #36482

    The woman's clitoris is the same kind of tissue as a man's penis. The clitoris is located at the top of the vaginal area, and does extend within the vaginal wall to an extent. Some call this the 'G Spot,' and say it's hard to find. And it is. Also, most sexual positions do not stimulate this inner clitoris. Without that stimulation, it's as hard for you to have an orgasm as it would be for a man who didn't get any penile stimulation. The best solution is to use your hand or a vibrator to stimulate your outer clitoris during sex, or to lie on your back during sex and tilt your pelvis almost straight up. This puts the inner clit at the right angle to be stimulated from inside. Do try it. It's wonderful.

    Racism isn't found so much in individual acts, but in our systems. It hides there and is hard to remove because it can't be seen. This man has probably been denied services, and sometimes it really was because of his race. Maybe he can no longer tell when it's racism and when it's just circumstancial? Have you ever thought really hard about all the ways your life would change if you woke up tomorrow, still you, but black? How might you learn to feel differently about yourself? How would others begin to treat you? What kinds of things will probably never happen to you, just because you're white? Try not to blame the man--racism is real, and he's had to endure it, like it or not. No, that's not your fault, but then again, it's not his fault, either.
