Notes:

Sorry, early today!

Also: I'm not going to officially warn for tongue-in-cheek "triggers" just to provide anyone with a fandom-specific in-joke when there are none in the secret.

Re: Teaching Men Not to Rape (tw)

(Anonymous) 2013-01-13 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
This just reminds me of a discussion we had about date rape at a forum I don't frequent anymore. A lot of the women told their brief experiences of almost having been date raped and generally followed it up with something along the lines of, "but I shouldn't have put myself in that situation in the first place." A good number of the men were saying things like, "When a child is dangling a juicy piece of meat over an alligator's head, of course the alligator will bite the stupid kid's arm off." (And yes, someone did compare a drunk woman to a kid tempting an alligator with a piece of meat.)

I went in with, "It's not about being drunk, it's about respecting a human being." Needless to say, a lot of the men told me that I should "know better" and that if I were to get drunk it was OK for them to try to get lucky with me. It's my fault if I get drunk and pass out and he decides to fuck me. I couldn't.

And once, at work, there was discussion going on about famous men accused of raping women. A male coworker mentioned that Tupac was accused of raping a woman a long time ago, and he know Tupac didn't rape that woman because he was famous. Why would he need to rape a woman when there were so many women willing to sleep with him?
I wasn't going to say anything, but that really set me off. I told him that that wasn't how rape works. Men don't rape women just because they're horny and can't find a woman who wants to sleep with them. Rapists get a joy out of raping people. Yes, there is the sexual desire, but people don't just go out and rape other people because they're sexually frustrated.

So I really don't know what men think. That or I somehow end up talking to some real creepy assholes. I really hope none of my brothers think that way.
