Scott Weiland was compelled to write the lyrics after an incident in which a girl he was dating was raped by three high school football players after a party. Thus, Weiland has stated the song is an anti-rape statement, not a song simply about sex, saying: “This song is really not about sex at all. It’s about control, violence and abuse of power.”

Weiland found himself in the position of defending “Sex Type Thing” to individuals who took the first-person approach he used in the song (“I am a man, a man/I’ll give ya something that ya won’t forget/I said ya shouldn’t have worn that dress”) literally. "It was, ‘All right, the “Cop Killer” controversy’s dead, let’s try to find something else,’ " says Weiland, who has been outspoken in the press about women’s rights and contends that he wrote the song in the mind-set of what he has called “the typical American macho jerk” because he didn’t want to sound peachy. “I never thought that people would ever seriously think that I was an advocate of date rape.”

Josh is a child and bears no responsibility for any sexual encounters

Linking to the source seems more boomerish than screenshotting to me. Boomers don’t know how to screenshot, and it’s more cumbersome to have to go to a new site.

Read the other comments in this thread for why it doesn’t work like that

Genetics almost certainly plays a role in longevity

I don’t think hitting more gas is going to gently slide the 300 pound buck under my car. It’s just going to increase the impact force.

This sounds made up

I respect the struggle you went thru and your choices for yourself. As someone who dealt with alcoholism you were exposed to the worst of it. However, some of us like to enjoy life and get a buzz on without hurting anyone and I don’t think that’s abusive.

There’s abuse, and then there’s taking the edge off

I didn’t realize she was getting a lot of hate, but I guess it doesn’t surprise me.

We’re all hustling to make ends meet. She’s doing her thing trying to get by like the rest of us. There’s no shame in that.

It’s like we just happened to grow up at the right time where everyone was raised to be a mechanic, and we wonder why our kids don’t fix their own cars.

They suggest that we use “straight” to mean both hetero and cis, and then use different terms for the “other” people.
