I object - to you calling them dragons. Dragons are cool.

You know that EVERY SINGLE ONE of these dragons has at least two kids, a stay at home wife, and a mistress.

Pretty sure even if she planned to get drunk, she didn't deserve to be raped, photographed & passed around. Seriously?!? How in God's green earth is it OK to attack the character of a 16 year old rape victim?

Oh my god. "Don't jump to conclusions." Really? There is a VIDEO of it. She is UNCONSCIOUS in it. Someone took her clothes off and dragged her around. They posted this video (of a child) to the internet (also a crime). He posted on his twitter that she is a snitch - meaning he committed a crime. Doesn't matter…

Maybe she's a wonderful girl, maybe she's not - you're right, we don't know.

Um... Kids drink at parties. Yeah, they aren't *supposed* to, but realistically, it happens. Her being raped was NOT her fault, regardless of whether she expected to be drunk or not. Rape is NEVER the victim's fault.

Is this comment for real? I believe people were calling her wonderful for having the courage to speak up for herself while having to discuss what is/was surely the worst experience of her (very young) life. What does her going to a party and "knowing she'd get drunk" have to do with being drugged, raped, and mocked…

Listen, lots of 16 year olds go to parties expecting to get drunk. It's part of growing up and having fun. That doesn't mean she deserves to get raped.

because all of us were good kids and refrained from drinking alcohol until the legal drinking age in our area! Quit being a victim-blamer. Just like most men can drink until they're falling-down, pass-out drunk (and even drink drinks they or their friends haven't made and/or kept an eye on every second) and can expect…

She didn't even accept alcohol. It was punch. Drugged punch. Not that it should matter. Way to blame the victim.

Who cares if she went there to get drunk? Does that somehow green-light the whole rape thing? I hate that medieval attitude..."ooooh, she's asking for it...." just power off already man.

So, what you are saying is don't jump to conclusions.... how about... don't jump to conclusions that being a person desiring to drink means you are a horrible person deserving of rape.

Twitter gives even less of a shit about abuse than does Facebook, if that's even possible.

Well, obviously not the Jewish ones.

Actually, you open yourself up to "anger, harassment and violence" When you provide a "justification" because creeps that don't take no for a answer will twist your "justification" into "s/he wants me" any which way they can. A clear statement, of "I'm not interested, never been interested, and will never be…

As your anecdote aptly illustrates, we all have these experiences, but It's very rare to hear a woman lamenting being friend zoned.

Women do not "automatically friend zone" someone for being nice and deliberately choose to date assholes unless they are carrying some very heavy psychological baggage. If every woman you know is this damaged, you might want to consider what this says about you and your life choices and make some changes.

If you were "not up for consideration" as a boyfriend, it means that these women didn't want a relationship with you. Telling someone it's because "they're so nice" or "I just think of them as a friend" is a nice way of saying "I don't want sex or a romantic relationship from this person". The reason we use these…

Their very hypothetical previous success has fuck all to do with me. In no universe does it give them permission to touch me, persist in talking to me when I've told them to leave me be, or follow me out to my car like fucking serial killers.

Oh god, this bullshit idea again? Sex doesn't just magically "become" consensual if it started out nonconsensual. Consent doesn't work retroactively. It doesn't erase transgressions.
