Reply #39: When I was a teenage boy, this happened... [View All]

[tomreedtoon]

I was at an unsupervised picnic. I sat on the ground across from a girl who I barely knew from Junior Achievement. She was drunk. I didn't want sex. I just wanted a female to look at my face for a bit without throwing up.

Well, she did, rather spectacularly. I like to think it was the massive quantity of booze she had glugged down, but that's probably just my ego talking.

Well, let me be honest too. I was a horny teenage boy and I had my hopes. But having been beaten up by other people since first grade, I would never force myself on a woman. I couldn't allow myself to be as cruel as other people. I was hoping she might think kindly of me and offer me a little physical comfort of her own free will. I know that comparatively makes me a wimp. So be it.

I don't claim that women want to be raped or abused. But instead of being friends with relatively nice, harmless, kindly guys, they choose to be in the company of abusive, violent bastards. And I've seen this pattern repeat so often it's almost passed from the category of "rule" into "law of the universe."
