[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The fact that there are still commenters here who say that women should drink less, dress differently, etc.  Or that it's too easy to report rape - are you fucking serious??  People like you are exactly the problem - victims are not to blame.  A woman could be walking naked down the street hopped up on every drug available and she's still not asking to be raped.  The assumption that the victim is culpable in her own assault is fucked up.

Also - please stop whining about 'not all men.'  Yeah, we get it.  Not all men are predators or rapists.  But guess what -[b] ALL women have to deal with the systematic oppression of rape culture.  Ask any woman you know - I bet every single one of them has a story about being cat called or groped or harassed at work or, yes, even raped.  I bet most if them hav several. [/b] So sit down for a minute - it's not fucking about you.[/quote]

Sorry, blanket statements don't work for either side of this discussion.  My friends and I are part of ALL Women and have not had to deal with the systematic oppression of rape culture as you choose to call it.  Catcalled, groped and harassed at work, all of us?  Sounds like someone takes herself way too seriously.   I truly feel for you if you have been raped -- no woman should have to go through that ever -- but equating this other juvenile male nonsense that most of us manage to ignore with rape, is just silly.[/quote]

:shock: If you are a woman, you should truly be so ashamed.  It is not "juvenile male nonsense" when women are feeling threatened- that is much more serious.  If you really dont take it seriously or haven't faced it yourself, fine (although I find that hard to believe).  But respect that many, many other women have felt threatened and it has affected their ability to go about their day to day lives and respect that that needs to change.[/quote]
