| I don't know if it's helpful but it might help to remember that hip surgery for people her age is quite common. My mother had surgery for a broken hip at 88 and she came through with flying colors. I'm sorry about how stressful her hallucinations are and I'm sorry the hospital is not more helpful in... |

| Hand sanitizers usually contain lotion to make them less harsh on skin, so they are not very good for cleaning other things because the lotion will leave a residue. |

| ^ If the meme had just said "I am worried about being the victim of a sexual assault," I think it might have provoked a better result. No. Again, you are not engaging with what I am saying. There is nothing wrong with the meme. There isn't a better meme that would have been more productiv... |

| My chronic illness. ME/CFS, also known as chronic fatigue syndrome. I has taken away 90% of what makes up a normal life and it drags me down every day. But there's more than that that is wrong with me. I find everything to be a struggle and I can't just be, because everything is hard and I am always... |

| Generating a nationwide discussion of sexual violence against women and the attitudes of men toward the subject is an example of a failure? I has hardly failed! The problem is that men overall have had a very weird reaction, as if everything is always about them. The meme says "Women are afrai... |

| When I first replied here to the original poster's assertion, I agreed that the meme seemed a bit stupid. Later I expanded on that view and said that it's too divisive to be anything but counterproductive. I warned that the thread may therefore go south, but thought I'd give it a chance to prove me... |

| The meme is pretty dull really. Looking at it from a pure danger perspective, if all men were replaced by bears, I'm pretty sure the outcome would be obvious. Yeah, it's funny how when you intentionally take things out of context, they make less sense :roll: But lets take the silly premise and run ... |

| CBT is centered on correcting one's thought patterns and negative thoughts, which presupposes that there is something wrong with what one is thinking in the first place. I get the theory that for instance if someone is depressed they may see things as worse than they are, but they also may not and t... |

| You can try to change your thinking and become more accepting of people's flaws and more forgiving, not just for them (or not for them all if you think they don't deserve it), but for yourself, because you can find peace that way. |

| Society needs to change. Yes. Meanwhile, self-defense is all we have, and it might fend off a few attacks at least. Can we please please just stop talking about self defense. Regardless of the flaws or merits of self defense, it is not the topic here and it's derailing the actual topic of violence ... |

| I don't get why "treat women better, and do something about those who don't" is such a difficult solution to see. It's not difficult at all, and it's a good wish. What's difficult is the "how to." But I say that at the risk of being wrongly thought a defeatist, or worse. The how... |

| And once again, talking about sexual violence against women has been derailed by turning it into a discussion about self defense. The bigger issue is a much more important issue, and it's the issue that the meme is about. This is another validation of the importance of the message of the meme and ho... |
