How horrible. Reminds me of when my sis...Oh my god. How horrible. Reminds me of when my sister called the police because her husband beat her up and they told her to fix him dinner and he will calm down. Fuck the police. They have high rates of domestic violence among them and get to keep their guns, Bobbie Oliverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03634217249211656345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8125658112209160867.post-62079172217076309032013-06-11T00:00:27.353-07:002013-06-11T00:00:27.353-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jessicasmilinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07236189972123137833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8125658112209160867.post-22006930086878187722013-06-10T23:58:44.506-07:002013-06-10T23:58:44.506-07:00When I hear the opposing response to this argument... When I hear the opposing response to this argument it is often dangerously close to defending the act of rape . Outside the realm of comedy rape is often dismissed as something that the woman could have and should have avoided. When my girlfriend put her name and address in the phonebook I doubt she considered the possibility that a serial phonebook rapist would obtain the information, begin stalking her for days, learning her daily habits, break into her home and rape her in her own bed. I was standing in her living room the next day when a male police officer,a person who is supposedly entrusted to "protect",stood there and basically said women were stupid to put their information in the phonebook and asking for it if they did. That moment is burned in my memory and reminds me that rape may never be seen by society as more than a temptation to the rapist and blame the victim for allowing it to happen because "men have urges". We live in a World where freedom of speech is taken for granted when, in fact, it is a gift and great care should be taken when choosing our words in a public environment. The KKK is allowed to speak publicly, inciting violence and hatred freely. Do they have the right? Yes , but freedom of speech doesn't work for the greater good or evolution of a civilized society if we ignore the consequences of those words before we speak. Your words truly touched me Bobbie. Keep up the fight!Jessicasmilinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07236189972123137833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8125658112209160867.post-36388540627288992212013-06-10T06:21:49.582-07:002013-06-10T06:21:49.582-07:00There's nothing I could possibly add (or detra...There's nothing I could possibly add (or detract if I actually wanted to) from this, stats and things I'd never heard of, that Anonymous thing for example, which is utterly depressing. <br /><br />Kind of off topic but something that comes to my mind, it certainly is a distance from rape culture, but it is in the misogynistic and disrespect promoting realm, the idea of it all being a "game," that men who literally fuck around, who have women on the side, that -that is something to be proud of, that women are unreasonable weirdos that men have to deal with but only as much as they have to. <br />That herpes saturated pigs that get several women to hang on to them because they have money for some reason is the true dream, "but that's okay because it's those women's choice" Um... so the "pimp" has a right to call those women "ho's" and treat them like shoe scrapings, that that is this persons right, you have money so you've earned that right to treat a living sentient being like shit. (Anyone who does in fact believe that is cordially invited to drink a good 44oz tumbler of Strychnine) Glorifying that "lifestyle" as something to be admired... Why is that sort of thing tolerated... <br /><br />And their's another thing that I see as pretentious horse crap, Men touting the "open relationship" as being somehow "more advanced" and "more natural" (no it's not) and making up crap that the "monogamous relationship is only a recent historical trend" or whatever the hell, to make it seem enlightened and reasonable... Uh huh. <br />I wonder that it might in many cases be just another disingenuous manipulative part of "the game" garbage to justify being a gross disease spreading male whores... And that the second the female partner finds someone else to screw, well she gets labeled a "slut"<br /> If in fact both parties in an open relationship really do have an advanced equitable relationship of trust and agreement, hey good for you, but if your a women being told your some repressed prude or some bull because you don't want your partner screwing someone else, please tell them to fuck off. <br /><br />I guess I think of both of these for two reasons, <br />a.) I have severe A.D.D.<br />b.) I think they're further examples of males seeing women as a means to an end and essentially an object, if not at least less than, something to be manipulated, trained, broken, like some kind of livestock.guyfromkcmohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07674264749089772318noreply@blogger.com
