Becky,
you seem to be implying that sexual assault is something to “lighten up” about. I am sorry and saddened that you feel that way.

Hmm. after reading my comment, I realize my abbreviation, MF, could use some clarification….I hope everyone realizes I meant Mental Floss…

I’m sure the flowchart was not meant for functionality, but rather comedic relief. I vote to leave the link. If someone is offended by the link, I respectfully suggest they don’t click on it, or choose to read on of the other MF articles.

Miss C,
I am sure you did not mean to post something that might be seen in this way but I felt that you and my fellow flossers might consider the negative connotations of the “are you going to have sex tonight” flow chart.
I am a little concerned about the idea that if someone is drunk, but not too drunk it is ok to have sex with them. In most states engaging in any form of sexual contact with someone who is drunk is considered sexual assault or rape.
I am not trying to be preachy (sorry if I sound that way and am not trying to start any sort of flame war) but as someone who has worked with a number of survivors of sexual assault whose perpetrators have used the exact same logic I would kindly and respectually ask you to perhaps remove that particular link..
Thanks Miss C.
