I think about this every time I hear the song "Pretty Woman" by Roy Orbison. I love the song, but it really is a very sexist song in light of today's society.

A good swift boot between the legs might fix that:)

Let's all remember that everyone is entitled to an opinion, and while you may strongly disagree, and express your disagreement, be mindful to keep your comments focused on the discussion, and not the person you disagree with.

Unfortunately it does not seem to be part of a single society but rather a world wide problem. I think it is really sad that we men cannot seem to comprehend that the majority of women do not appreciate, and are actually offended by the sexual remarks made toward them. Sometimes I watch old...

Have you seen a trauma therapist? We cannot, and do not diagnosis PTSD here on the forum, but based on your post you are certainly struggling with the trauma you have suffered. If you see a therapist they can determine if you have PTSD, and will help you get started on the road to recovery.

You are wrong. It is what happens. This is a situation where a man, a stranger, made a comment to a young female. Almost any female hearing a comment like this will feel frightened, humiliated and dirty. It is not an issue of how she reacted, it is an issue how this scumbag man thought he had...

Enjoy your retirement, and I truly thank you for your service.

If you will go back to the thread you will see that I addressed the statement, as a member, and not a moderator. I do want you to feel safe here. However members are entitled to state their opinion. I personally did not see the statement that was made as a personal, verbal attack. However...

I don't completely agree with this statement. I think a woman who is without any mental health issues, hears a guy talk about her like she is some kind of meat, fish in this case, would be justified in getting furious at him. it is not a simple statement. It is a demeaning, dehumanizing...

I do.

@FrankM I think you might get some more helpful responses if you were to post under Miscellaneous asking people who have a similar history with you i.e. emotional abuse, and verbal abuse. I think here you are trying to compare apples to oranges, and the responses will not be all that helpful.

And the good guys win one!

I had not heard a lot on the news that The United Kingdom was considering withdrawing from the EU. Why were they considering it, and why did they deicde to do so?

Is your PTSD directly related to your work as a police officer? If so, then you should be able to request, and receive medical disability retirement from the city that you have faithfully served. Thank you for your service. It is far too often a thankless job protecting an ungrateful society...

it's funny but we were just discussing this in our men's class at sunday school this morning. We were talking about the proper way to treat, and show love to a woman. I told them some of the same things you said here. It angers me when I see, or hear a man refer to a lady by her body parts-thus...

The flip side to this is, by doubting them you can also continue to not truthfully deal with them. Now that your sister has affirmed the memories, you can start dealing with them more effectively.

@SheilaKathy I am very glad to hear things worked out for you. I truly hope and pray you will find working with the children an rich and rewarding experience.

I am referring to the fact that they even needed to have a meeting at all.

I agree with @anthony that you are amplifying things by overthinking it. You should wait for your Pastor to respond, and in the meantime seek the Lord on what He wants you to do. I do still think the Pastor is wrong making you discuss your past given you were the victim of the abuse, and in no...

I will PM you about this so we do not take the thread off topic.

This is always the answer of the liberal politicians. The one thing to keep in mind of the various mass shootings in this country; they have all happened at places where guns are outlawed, and with very few exceptions, the perpetrators could not legally own guns anyway. So additional gun laws...

Where does Jesus say this?

As a former Pastor, and one who is in ministry, I don't agree with the churches stipulation that a victim of SCA should have to disclose they are a victim, and certainly should not have to talk about it. Why should you? Are they concern that because you were a victim that you will potentially be...

If you are considering buying a weapon for self-protection, then make sure that you contact the police if there is any interaction between you and your abusers, especially if they are threatening you in anyway. The police may not be able to do anything, or may choose to do nothing, but you will...

I completely understand how you feel. How can you undo the damage of the past? You can't, but you can heal. As for the clingy relationships: The need to feel accepted and loved can be a powerful motivator, to act in a positive, or negative manner. How do you change? I think the first thing is...
