Feel free to fuck right off, jackass.

You would be SHOCKED at the shit people say to women when there's nobody else around.

What level of anger? My ex boyfriend really likes it when women go off on him. It's just his opinion!

And you seem reeeeeeeeeaaaaaalllllyyyy invested in making that point. No one is failing to get your point. They are questioning whether you need to make it right here, now, in this conversation. You seem unwilling to consider the possibility that no, maybe you don't need to make that point. Maybe it's not helping…

Right, and I informed you that the fact that some women do like it doesn't actually say anything about whether it's okay to do it to people when you don't know if they like it or not. This is really simple.

Errrrrrrrrmaaaaaaaagerrrrrrrrrrrrd, dude. Shut up already.

Okay, so you don't think it's okay to whistle or catcall at complete strangers, but your girlfriend likes it. What is your point?

That's great that your girlfriend liked it, but the guys whistling at her had NO IDEA whether she liked it or not. They didn't give a shit how she felt about it, and if they were whistling at her, they were whistling at plenty of women who don't like it.

You don't have to keep repeating "she is entitled to her opinion." No one has said that she is not entitled to her opinion. If you repeat yourself again I'm just going to assume that you are a troll.

Yes, I know. You're merely repeating what you've heard. Don't shoot the messenger. I get it. What I don't get is why you think it's relevant. One woman's acceptance of her harassment means nothing. It changes nothing. So why repeat it?

Sorry but that's not the case.

Wolf-whistling and other street harassment is aggressively shitty, inappropriate behavior, plain and simple, and just because you know one woman who doesn't seem to mind it (and even gets a boost from it) doesn't mean anything, really. What exactly are you saying if not, Hey, some women don't have a problem with it.…

The point that I think needs to be made is: sure, some women do like it, and that's just fine. There's nothing wrong with liking it.

It's not just about the community enjoying football. It's the way the community deified those football players, and continues to think they deserve special privileges just because they play football. Reread the quote in the article from the guidance counselor (who thinks that the football players have "earned"…

I think the point that they're missing, and possibly you are too, is that they DID play a part in it. They played a part in creating a culture that allowed these boys to think they would and should get away with it.

Yup. Katie took pains to give some townspeople a voice in this article, but the biggest point the article reveals is that, really, no one in the town learned anything at all from this entire tragedy.

This quote is what prohibits me from sympathizing at all with these people. By them saying they're "sick of" thinking how the victim feels, it shows how little they care about the actual rape. This quote lost me and I decided that no, I don't feel sorry for these people and their "destroyed" (not actually destroyed)…

"I DON'T LIKE TO HEAR ABOUT NEGATIVE THINGS! I LIKE FOOTBALL! I DON'T LIKE CHANGES!"

I'm not asking for remorse. I'd settle for not "but what about ME?!?!" in response to someone else's tragedy.
