This is fucking scary, and it shows that we do live in a “rape culture” in which abusers and rapists have little idea that they are doing something wrong. My abuser didn’t….

WHOA HOLD THE FUCK UP HERE
MISLEADING MUCH?
This did-you-kno reads “Video games work better at battling depression than counselling does”.
But the article is titled “A Video Game Designed to Treat Depression Worked Better Than Counseling”
Those are two completely separate things! The article is talking about a specific video game they made, whereas this did-you-kno is claiming that video games in general work better than counselling!
Do people even read the fucking source? How many people are going to reblog this and think “phew, all those hours gaming are actually HELPING my depression, a did-you-kno told me so!”
I CALL BULLSHIT.
In an exercise entitled “A Rose with No Petals,” the teacher is told to “hold up a beautiful rose.” Students are then told to pass the rose around the room with each student removing a petal. When the rose no longer has petals, the teacher must “share that the rose represents someone who participates in casual sex. Each time a sexually active person gives that most personal part of himself or herself away, that person can lose a sense of personal value and worth. It all comes down to self-respect.”Choosing the Best PATH, Leader Guide, p. 7What in the ever-living fuck, our government PAYS PEOPLE to TEACH THIS. TO CHILDREN.
