This is the survival of the fittest anti male bully internet alright. And negative commentary triggers me, as well as causing distress on every level. Back to my original question would be how can I identify triggers or anything else for that matter if I have to live day and night guarded and...

Isn’t all this triggering crap about dealing with emotional distress? Jokes on me, right? Looks like I’ve fallen victim to yet one more triggering psycho babble anti-male website.

I may be delayed responding to this message, but the link just showed up in my email and I feel compelled to respond because it applies so directly to me. There is a safe and socially acceptable human sexuality, or so I'm constantly reminded by society and their media. The individual in...

This discussion showed up as a link in my EMail and despite being over a month old, I can not resist commenting.

Suspect meth. What do the other neighbors think? If you are vested in your home and community, stand your ground. Research such laws in your state. Tom S. in Tn.
