Re: Rape Fantasies and...Rape Apologism?
Claiming that rape fantasies are the reason why feminism can't gain any traction completely ignores decades of both feminism history and kink history. Some incredibly ardent feminists are bottoms/subs/masochists from BDSM. How would they explain the extensive women's rights and feminist movements stemming from campuses if young women can't be feminists because of rape fantasies? How do they explain that today's generation of college women are the ones fighting back against the sexual assault on campus, if rape fantasies somehow mitigate feminism?
Also, this mindset implies that they think young women are incapable of telling apart fantasy from reality - exactly what some misogynists accused women of, and exactly what feminists call bullshit on. And if they are going to claim that women having rape fantasies is proof that something is wrong with a woman, and thus that somehow that such women can't fight for or don't deserve equal rights...what makes them better than the misogynistic culture that continuously tells us women are too emotional and capricious to be able to manage themselves, let alone be given positions of leadership?
By labeling rape fantasies as "wrong" when no one is actually being hurt by them
(unwillingly), they are undermining these women's choices, exactly the thing we hate misogynists for.*looks up* That...may have gotten away from me, a bit. Maybe.

(Anonymous) 2015-02-09 02:25 am (UTC)(link)Yesterday someone was saying all the 50 shades of gray fans were actually OLDER women, so implying that older women were more likely to be into that stuff, now apparently young women all have rape fantasies...
Re: Rape Fantasies and...Rape Apologism?
Apparently, the women OP was talking to said it was only young women having the fantasies, and that because young women were having rape fantasies this is somehow to blame for how feminism can't gain any traction anymore. *eyeroll*
