[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.  [b]The assumption that the victim is culpable in her own assault is fucked up.[/b]

Also - please stop whining about 'not all men.'  Yeah, we get it.  Not all men are predators or rapists.  But guess what - 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.  So sit down for a minute - it's not fucking about you.[/quote]

First off, I suggest [b]YOU [/b]"sit down for a minute" and stop trying to control this thread and the opinions expressed within it.  [b]I haven't seen one post which even suggests victim blaming;[/b] good try, making that one up and repeating it over and over.  You obviously enjoy inaccurately spinning other people's words so you can get in everyone's face and pick a fight.  Please, show us the post that states the above bolded statement - oh right, no one said that, you completely made it up.

10:25 - "people need to stop making themselves easy targets"
11:09 - "too easy to claim rape"
12:41 - "students, especially young women, need to watch binge drinking"
14:37 - "a better handle on the concept of rape vs regret"
14:39 - "put some clothes on the female news anchors"

There ya go, sport.

x2.  I'm pretty sure we are responding to a troll.  The worst kind- a misogynist one.  And one who refuses to own up to their own misogyny. [/quote]

A troll?  Misogyny?  We must be reading different posts altogether.   Calling someone a troll because you disagree with them is one of the laziest, most juvenile way of "responding" here on DCUM.  And calling someone misogynistic because they are urging women to report rape??  I certainly wish I had had someone in my corner,  encouraging me to do just that when I was raped as a sophomore in college.  Then perhaps the man who raped me would be behind bars today.   You people are idiots if you think things will magically get better without reporting of these crimes.   They won't  and they haven't because there is no deterrent.  Rapists are counting on their victims not coming forward.  Nothing will change until women start reporting rape, period.  I live every day with regret that I didn't. [/quote]
