Are you being intentionally obtuse? The "well, she was a flirt" excuse directly translates into "she was asking for it." Moore's line of reasoning is that because the victim was "flirting" with him, she led him to "have sex with" (rape) her. In the first quote from Moore, she immediately backs up her claim that it…

A woman being called "a flirt" to justify rape is the same line of reasoning as "her skirt was too short" or "she had a couple beers". What it means when people say that is that the woman consented to sex via signals (or to others, punishment for not being demure and feminine and proper), so it doesn't matter what she…

Jesus Christ, stop being so fucking literal, dense, thick, obtuse; whatever. No, no one LITERALLY said she asked to get raped. They just insinuated she was a whore. Happy?

Yes. That is because we are talking about something called "sub-text." That is what all these nice (nicer than I) people are trying to explain to you.

The rapist confessed, to the people you are defending as "not believing" the victim.

So it's about semantics now? Does it really matter if it was worded the exact same way? Have you never heard of euphemism, connotation, allusion and suggestion? Are you incapable of interpreting human speech?

One more comment: I just had the pleasure of my first conversation with my mom where she described a situation she was in where was clearly being targeted for a scam (she didn't fall for it) and having to explain to her that the intimidation she was subject to, and the confusion she felt as a response, were all part…

Nursing homes. Fuck them, and especially their administration. I spent several years as an EMT and we did a lot of nursing home calls, either nursing home to hospital or hospital returning to nursing home. I've seen them all, from the "nice" ones I'd probably be ok having a family member in, to the ones that were…

And when she's not asking for it she's making the whole thing up because she is old and confused, so really we have the whole spectrum of rape apology in this one situation. I can't believe they made her go back to the same room where she was assaulted in the first place. I hope she gets the justice she deserves.

A note to rape culture apologists; this is the kinds of shit that happens when you push the "she was asking for it" narrative. Nobody is safe when this attitude is allowed flush. Being elderly won't be protect you from being victim blamed and slut shamed. Very young children won't be protected from it either. So…

We thought that too when we watched it! But after further investigation, we learned she lives in Lakeway. Worst cell phone service in the Austin area, but one of the most entertaining happy hours at the marina restaurant (my hubs and I found ourselves out there once and were treated to one hell of a cat fight -…

Playing devils advocate. She could have bought a model home. My folks did and it was fully furnished which is why they bought it (it was a second home for them). Could be the same thing here

And somewhere in NYC, Tina Fey is so very relieved that 30 Rock is over, and she no longer has to juggle Tracy and Alec's bullshit parade.

Alec Baldwin is less sad if you imagine Jack Donaghy saying the things that come out of his mouth.

"I won't be in tomorrow, Lemon, I'm being subpoenaed by the Gay Department of Justice."

Barbie and Ken did fornicate of course, but that isn't so bad. Can I instead come clean about depravity involving troll dolls? A couple of times my friend and I had our troll dolls be brothel workers. The names of the brothels were Whores R Us and KB Hos. We also did a romance competition that was similar to the…

I had the 1970's barbie boat inherited from my older sister. Barbie, Barbie's friend (didn't give her a name) and Ken were all on board. They used to have threesomes. All.The.Time. They were like DOGS! Going at it over and over and over. I guess that's not so bad, right? I mean, everyone's barbies do it, right?
Probabl…

So many deaths and accidents to account for missing heads and glued on body parts. And so many affairs....so many. My Barbie time made Young and the Restless seem tame and believable.

But the women were always in charge, always. The men played second fiddle while the women were presidents and famous horse jockeys and…

I was very traditional. Barbie and Ken got into bed with me every night, naked, and they would make out all night long because that's how you make a baby.

I also remember hammering things with Barbie's nekkid boobs quite regularly. They were so hard!

In this comments section: people who don't understand that there are other types of art besides pretty paintings of ponies and Jesus.

Jesus, this happens all the time. Has no one ever thought to leave the cleaning lady a note to the effect of- "this isn't actually garbage, it's art, please don't throw it out." Just seems like common sense, guys.
