  1. Stanford Rape

    Horseshoe replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    Baloney. I'm willing to bet the farm that there are nurses replying in this thread who are in the same ballpark as you in terms of age. Your "I'm old fashioned" defense is nothing but a smokescreen...

  2. Stanford Rape

    Horseshoe replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    Well said (as usual), macawake. I honestly don't know what the heck she is trying to say with this fairer sex and hypocrisy argument. I'm not the strongest person in the world, so I would probably...

  3. Stanford Rape

    Horseshoe replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    I DO teach them to wear whatever they want-because I know rape has ZERO to do with what they are wearing. Why do you continue to insist that it

  4. Stanford Rape

    Horseshoe replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    Not a bad analogy, but I think you mean a "dam." The whole "dress modestly" mantra just defies belief, doesn't it? These people must put their fingers in their ears every time there is a report of a...

  5. Stanford Rape

    Horseshoe replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    A woman wanting to be treated equally and fairly shouldn't ask for help lifting boxes when she needs help? Are we supposed to pretend that we are physically the same in order to compete fairly in the...

  6. Stanford Rape

    Horseshoe replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    I think what that poster is talking about is teaching people about consent and what constitutes consent and what doesn't. Studies have found that many men will admit to forcing sex on someone who has...

  7. Stanford Rape

    Horseshoe replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, there would be, and that seems to be particularly true with regard to rape. And the puzzling thing is, many of the people blaming you would be other women. It defies explanation

  8. Stanford Rape

    Horseshoe replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    Predators deserve to be "bashed"! I've counseled my daughters to not drink excessively, for MANY REASONS, risk of being assaulted just being one of them. But you are absolutely correct that if my...

  9. Stanford Rape

    Horseshoe replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    Who has said anything of the sort? What do you even mean by

  10. Can traffic tickets prevent you from becoming a nurse?

    Horseshoe replied to Oceanblu's topic in General Nursing

    It won't stop you from being a nurse, but you well may get dinged pretty badly on your car insurance if you keep getting tickets for moving

  11. Stanford Rape

    Horseshoe replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    Don't ever force feed a person tea...even if they said they wanted it before, if they've now changed their mind, don't pour the tea down their throat. And no matter what they said before, even if...

  12. BSN and Associate Nurses Are Neck and Neck. Will This Change?

    Horseshoe replied to allnurses's topic in General Students

    What the heck does this even

  13. Stanford Rape

    Horseshoe replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    That's very well said. The driver who sees the person in the street and decides to put pedal to the metal and run them over is far more analogous than innocent driver accidentally plows into the...

  14. Facebook and employers/school

    Horseshoe replied to daisybird27's topic in General Nursing

    I really agree with this. I have gotten where I refuse to get in group pictures because either my request not to be put on Facebook is ignored or the photographer acts like I'm being completely...

  15. Stanford Rape

    Horseshoe replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    Kooky Korky, you cannot possibly be this obtuse. I can only conclude that you are being deliberately disingenuous. You have been told numerous times that rapists do not rape because they have been...

  16. Nursing student asks nurses the question..

    Horseshoe replied to 2bNurseDR.T's topic in General Nursing

    If that was actually the case across the board, the conflicts being discussed this thread wouldn't be an

  17. Stanford Rape

    Horseshoe replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    Men don't rape women because they have been visually stimulated. They rape because they are angry, or hate women (or men) and want to hurt them, because they feel powerless and want to exert power...

  18. Use of cellphones while at work

    Horseshoe replied to givxnchy's topic in General Nursing

    How are you going to know if an incoming call is about your mom unless you actually pull it out every time it rings or vibrates? But since your boss doesn't mind, you really aren't breaking any...

  19. Stanford Rape

    Horseshoe replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    He has admitted he is a proponent of the double standard. He is proud of that fact and calls it being "old fashioned." Many of us believe that holding such a double standard makes one not "old...

  20. Nurses smoking weed?

    Horseshoe replied to bunnynurse's topic in General Nursing

    That's actually terrible advice for any nurse who is subject to random drug

  21. Facebook and employers/school

    Horseshoe replied to daisybird27's topic in General Nursing

    As with Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc., all it takes is one "friend" to take a screenshot and your post or photo or tweet is saved for

  22. Facebook and employers/school

    Horseshoe replied to daisybird27's topic in General Nursing

    If asking you a simple question got you so upset, all I can say is if you are going to continue to post and to ask for feedback from this community, you need to develop a much thicker

  23. Use of cellphones while at work

    Horseshoe replied to givxnchy's topic in General Nursing

    Which is why you are not going to catch any heat. The OP's facility has a policy against even having her phone on her person. One facility I work at has a no cell phone policy. I don't use it, not...

  24. Stanford Rape

    Horseshoe replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    It infuriates me that this happened to you. Someone I love very much was sexually assaulted. Her attacker was a rapist in training. People like that know exactly what they are doing. They are...

  25. Stanford Rape

    Horseshoe replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    What does this have to do with price of tea in China? The Stanford rape case isn't remotely comparable. There were WITNESSES to this attack. They were male, they knew neither the victim nor the...
