On One Night at Asssscat, or What to Do With a Date Rape Monologue
@Josh Guerrin@facebook If you really "do actually agree with most of these people-that rape is one of the worst things you can do as a human-but I'll be damned if the resulting behavior I've seen isn't inching up there along side it", then you, young man, are out of your mind. It's pretty standard, when dealing with the rape culture we're all swimming in, to freak out a bit when smacked full in the face with what REALLY happens to women, and to want to minimize that so we don't have to feel sick about it. But calling out rape IS NOT EVEN REMOTELY CLOSE to raping someone. Your discomfort at having to look at it IS NOT EVEN REMOTELY CLOSE to what the woman endured in living through it.

On One Night at Asssscat, or What to Do With a Date Rape Monologue
@Josh Guerrin@facebook This is not mob mentality. Mob mentality is the pervasive idea that it's okay to laugh at rape, or the idea inherent in the culture that penetrating a woman's body is okay as long as she doesn't say no. Mob mentality is when the majority decides that it's more important to protect a rapist's feelings by not confronting him than it is to protect women from assault.
