...promoting this statistic, MenSpeakUp fails to elaborate. If it did, it would become clear that this statistic does not refer exclusively to women who were the victims of serious sexual assault—for instance, rape—but includes women who report so little as having engaged in unwanted sexual acts. This is a fairly low threshold, if ever there were...
...serious conversation requires attention to conversation and an awareness of body language. The second challenge comes in the intense nature of the themes which he is exploring.

You know you have a series of successes in life, and after a while, you start to say 'I guess you must be pretty smart." But I was being a little bit sarcastic and just friendly when I said that...
