Rob, mahalo for all you do.
I don't think this needs to be another big Punaweb discussion, and I wouldn't have started this topic. I only responded because of the snide remark that was incredibly insensitive.
I'll deal with this. As I said on the blog, it's my personal belief that women should be encouraged to stand up to men who are trying to bully them. In this case a man who feels entitled to talk about made-up sexual scenarios drawn from his own crude mentality. This blogger is no better than the sicko who trolls the phone book looking for women's names and makes obscene phone calls while jerking off.
I get to decide what is unacceptable to me, and if someone else gets harassed, it's up to that person to decide. There are Punaweb members who find it easy to mock anyone who has the self-respect to set limits on how creeps can behave ... who mock away with the "oh, it's all about ME" mantra.
I don't know where that behavior comes from, but I can't respect it. We should all respect ourselves enough to set boundaries. Sometimes the right thing is to say "Whatever, dude." Other times the right thing is to say STOP, you can't do that to me.
Thank you Rob for being a reasonable and kind person. No beef with you! [
