A helping hand to dumb victim blamers

Trigger Warning: Sexual assault, rape apologism, victim blaming, stupid people

When it comes to the topic of rape, some people (the ones who would really very much like to NOT talk about rape at all) like to say that “everyone knows that rape is wrong.” These are the people who are obviously not familiar with “reality” and are “running around with their heads buried firmly in their collective shit-filled buttholes.”

What these people don’t seem to realize, understand, and/or are actively trying to ignore is that plenty of people think that many kinds of rape are just fine, evidenced by the constant slut shaming and victim blaming. One such example (one of a JET POWERED FUCK TON of examples) comes from a woman in the UK whose roommate wandered into her room in the middle of the night, whilst she was sleeping, and raped her. When she tried to take the case to court, they let her know that they wouldn’t be taking it because:

The jury would have to be told as part of your evidence that the defendant had both entered your room and that you had shared a bed with him … we would then struggle to convict the defendant of rape unless there was extremely strong evidence that you then withdrew your consent.

We condemn those activities even though they are not hurting other people at least directly.”

Obvious statements and a humble proposal

A SYTYCB entry

Have you ever noticed how men and women are different? And no, not just “down there.”

More like “up there.” In our heads, where our brains live. Differences between men and women are biological, hormonal, and evolutionary. Think about it. With your brain.

For millions of years the male and female members of the human race have had very different roles for the simple reason that survival in the wild demanded it. Females sought a strong, dependable mate who would contribute to the survival of her offspring since she could only have one every nine months. On the other hand, males were driven to score with as many females as possible. Except for the fact that human men and women ...
