I'm going to come right out and say it. I think you are an idiot. And the fact that you take your idealogy on treating women from rap "artists" affirms my feelings. There is no way you and Moongoddess are talking about remotely similar things. You are talking about unwanted sexual attention or harassment while she is talking about unwanted penetration and abuse. I realize you may be trying to propogate the idea that it's a double standard for you to go to jail for raping a girl while a girl would have no criminal consequences for playing grab bag, but no rational person would see those two as being equal. Saying to some women; "Oh you were raped? Man, that's like the the time some girl touched my crouch" makes you sound like a moron. It makes no sense. The only way you could possibly understand what a girl who was raped experiences would be if you forcefully had your sphincter ripped in two. It's people like you who makes the real world such a scary place for women, you dont understand the life long effect rape and abuse has on a person, and in you ignorance you log on to a forum and actually try to justify it and water it down to unwanted touching. |
Except. Men are raped. By women. All the time. Not as frequently. But it does happen and it's just as bad for a woman. I think his point was just to illustrate the difference which is clearly out their, and is one bias that actually works against men, and it's a fairly damaging one.
Telling people you were raped then having everyone you know laugh at you, tell you to stop being stupid and just enjoy the fact that you had sex with a woman isn't exactly the most healthy expierence for a rape victim. In many places having it not be considered as serious a crime as rape the other way doesn't help either, nor does the fact that the chances of a conviction are going to be much much much smaller... which considering the conviction rate on rape isn't promising.
