From what Ive experienced, there aren’t alot of girls who have been taught to say no and stick to it. Some girls just don’t know how and they feel like if they don’t do this or that, no one will love them. Using sex for love isn’t a new thing you know?

I agree that safewords have a useful purpose and should be encouraged in relationships where there is concern about mixed signals, but they are not magic.

I was in my Perspectives on African American Males class today, and I heard some things that I am partly disgusted by, and partly pissed off that I’ve never learned about it before. I’m sick of the history of this country being hidden from me because I’m white, and because the history books i’ve read were by white males. I’m tired of the idea that white people need to...
