Jesus. It's never pretty being around the first time a man gets called for "mansplaining". I mean, defensive is a predictable reaction. But this guy refuses to believe a woman can be too drunk to consent to sex, and well, if she is, wasn't the guy really drunk too, and doesn't that make him innocent?
His "well, I'm not American" excuse is pretty weak, because he's from Canada, not Mars, and it took me thirty seconds to find out explicitly that the same possibility of lack of consent (while conscious) exists, as well as being drunk yourself (under your own steam) is called out as no defense of you being a rapist.
It's really creepy that he keeps pushing "well, she's awake, so it's not so bad", and that he's making me do all the research.
Yeah, I know. He's not making me do shit. But the ignorance is so stunning, I almost feel it's dangerous.
All this talk about norovirus is making me unnaturally aware of my stomach. So I bought some ginger ale while I was out walking the dog.

Right? I keep wondering, "Am I nauseous? How about now?"
No one came to sell me chocolate in my driveway today. Disappointing.
Thanks again for the birthday wishes. I got a couple of boxes of Tagalong cookies. WOOT! And a massage. Plus we went out for sushi dinner. Nom.
I also went to the mall and hit up Sephora, Godiva, and Dicks. Yes, makeup, chocolate, and, ummm, trail tape.
Right? I keep wondering, "Am I nauseous?
I am, but it's because I ate way too much of a kale and mushroom pie.
Sounds like a good day, Suzi!
I made lasagna tonight and I ate a bit too much of that, too.
trail tape
The what now? And was there no cake?!
That sounds like a nigh-perfect birthday, Suzi, and I can't think of anyone who deserves it more.
Did I mention, happy birthday? And >mwah< and (((smish)))? Because, yeah.
The cream Jason Wu dress I got for $60 bucks but is a skosh too small? I just sold it on eBay for $115.
I'm so glad! I was going to say "eBay it!" when you posted a few days ago that the dress was too small and you might take it back, but I was already half a day behind when I read it and the conversation just bolted on from there at the speed of light. But, yay!
I went to the other Target on the DE border, and the only Jason Wu dress they had was not one I loved. Sad.
