That "rape aside" is doing a lot of heavy lifitng there and conveniently sweeps away the need to actually address anything that isn't the "had sex, your fault" narrative you seem to be espousing here.
Especially given that there is little to no effort being given to exemptions of any kind.
Nobody is denying that sex is how babies are (usually) made, i mean apart from the "this book is the literal truth" christians i suppose.
or you're trolling, in which case, congratulations...i guess.
I read your reply as stating that the only outcomes could be "argue and make things worse" or "don't do that", a negative and a neutral respectively.
I perhaps read only the words and not the intent, I think we are may be saying the same thing.
In case we are not :
Not engaging actively frees someone up to do literally anything else, which could overall be more positive than just the prevention of the negative.
In addition some people might consider the avoidance of the argument itself to be a positive rather than just maintaining a neutral position.
Choosing not to engage can also be a positive rather than just the prevention of negatives.
Or perhaps decide that interaction with such a person isn't viable.
There is no requirement to adopt others particular eccentricities or needs, choosing to not engage can also be a valid choice.
There are of course potential downsides to this, but if each person is unwilling to adhere to a common contract of communication then the cessation of communication is a reasonable response.
It's not considered bad , but it is a distraction, there's supposed to be no communication between attendees.
It's supposed to be full introspection, afaict.
Don't know if its the same in all places but men and women were completely separate in the one I went to.
Even if you went with your wife you'd not really be there with her, you'd be two people in the same place at the same time, not communicating.
It's not really a relaxing holiday kind of place.
I genuinely have no idea if it's an option for you or if it'd even help but for 10/11 days of relative isolation you could try vipassana
Not sure what the northern US wait times are like, but you generally need to book ahead.
It's free, it works on a volunteer basis, no idea how if it works for people with no fixed abode but proof of residence was not required where i am.
Do check if it's suitable for you though, there are rules (albeit not many), they seem reasonable to me but might not be for you.
Isolation wise, there is no communication between attendees, but there are group meditation sessions (though they are also non-talking).
The three aspects that weren't silent :
In this one instance they are actually losing their money, maybe, nearly a decade after the fact. Up until now he's been living it relatively large.
I'd also put money on him still having a significantly higher amount of money to throw around, even assuming he loses the string of appeals and other legal bullshit he's undoubtedly going to pull for probably the next decade.
Same, they are currently still working through the 2019 backlog.
There is the option of going through "Right To Choose" system, which is ostensibly quicker but i think you have to pay for things yourself.
GP or doctor can give you proper advice about that though.
There are officially recognised tests that potentially lead to officially recognised diagnoses. For ADHD specifically that can lead to access to medication you wouldn't have without the official diagnosis.
For me specifically, the setup and config oftentimes is what I'm doing with the computer, the learning and knowledge gained from the practice is what I'm after, which is good because it's significantly less fun than it used to be.
Admittedly mine is probably a non-standard case and it ties in with other things in my life.
Condolences on your loss.
Your missing the part in the middle where you spend 6 months telling them in no uncertain terms that the thing they are asking is stupid and will not work properly/safely.
Various back and forth emails, a completely "justified" performance review program because of your "falling standards" and several meetings with various managers at different levels of "importance".
Also the "You're absolutely correct, ENJOY" is written at the bottom of your resignation letter or told to them directly in your "redundancy" exit interview.
