indomitable nth-wave feminism thread [RAPE CULTURE 101]

[fallbacktostone]

her sign is alright i guess. it does suggest we start from the standpoint that you're more likely to be a rapist than not but i mean, i've seen more goofy misandrist shit than that for sure. if we apply the same typical language revisionst tactics as an nth-waver we could say "HEY HOWS ABOUT LESSONS IN AND DEFINING CONSENT FOR ALL SEXES"

[krudmonk]

probably because that assumption is backed up by all data ever gathered about rape on college campuses

rape denier

[Necrometer]

I don't get that at all... some dudes are rapists-to-be and any guy who's going to complain about anything that might PREVENT rape is a rape culture apologist IMO

I certainly wouldn't mind seeing this discussion become a game of oneupsmanship re: hands-on rape prevention...

[fallbacktostone]

i once stopped a rape in progress by raping the rapist

[Necrometer]

ahahaha

and Geoff, I was being sincere, and not trying to bust on you with the oneupsmanship!

unfortunately you have to be embedded pretty deep to even take on these kinds of missions; i.e. if you're not around scummy dudes and wasted chicks you're not really on the front lines

my record is not flawless... I guess the only sort of story in my past is when I was 18 and at a party with buddy's sister and her friend who were both 16... they were both blacked out and were mindlessly taking their clothes off to the delight of a bunch of dudes... I ushered my buddy's sister to a different zone while (I'm pretty sure) her friend got a train run on her in a bathroom

I skimmed the last page pretty quick, but if "don't rape" lecture is offensive or whatever because it suggests something about college males, isn't "how not to get raped" lecture suggesting the same thing?

[Necrometer]

blameability of agent v. victim I guess

[Necrometer]

seriously the only person who would be offended at that is a would-be rapist

[solidaritywithfruit]

The first one also implies there is a murdering problem. Watch out for Group X! The be murderin'.

[Friendly Goatus]

I feel like a would-be rapist wouldn't be swayed by a class on how not to rape, whereas a rape prevention class would empower and increase awareness for would-be victims.

"This just doesn't make any sense. He scored straight A's in his "Don't rape that girl" class, and yet, he rapes...."

[krudmonk]

this is why they need rape word problems

[Gay for Cock]

I'm going to search the internet for some Don't Rape thesis papers.

Geoff, you might want to have your students make some Don't Rape videos for class.

[featherboa]

now you guys are making rape jokes

[krudmonk]

we are making rape joke jokes, actually. it's very cutting-edge self-awareness.

[Necrometer]

I'm with you fellas

[monsterod]

I wish Intro to Rape Apologetics was around when I was in college.

[Necrometer]

this Canadian Inside Edition thing is pretty dramatic

the game at 3:05

7:05 --> break the equation

I wish she'd put out some of her goddamned critical videos already... though I'm used to Kickstartees taking their sweet time

How do these fucking naive, incapable of critical thought beyond an incredibly shallow level retards end up with the idea that what they have to say is somehow important and unique enough that they have to voice it ? Is this just one of the side effects of being this fucking stupid ?

[riley-o]

haha these are the nasty attack articles she was rallying against

No wonder that worthless moron decries them; these are well-reasoned pieces written by sharp women who can actually write. "Oh but I don't like how they're saying it." Fuck off. You argue for women being in the home because it's all you personally are good for.

[Necrometer]

These types seek to customise feminism to fit in with their own life experiences and worldview. Ergo, if they're not suffering discrimination and stuff (poverty, lack of autonomy, insufficient childcare, lower pay, exemption from boardrooms, government and other male-dominated echelons, not to mention domestic violence, sexual assault and murder), then it isn't happening to any other woman either. Well, how could it be when it's not happening to them?

and that Mette Poynton (WTF?) was some of the worst writing I've seen in a piece that didn't include the word "blog" in the URL... the internet is absolutely ruining the internet
