Maybe I use obtuse a lot because that’s what a lot of people here are? Most internet blogs, sites are echo-chambers, meaning that people do not tend to react positively when someone states an opinion that does not fit into their belief, even if their beliefs come from a fantasy land and do not align with the beliefs…

Do you constantly miss my point on purpose?

Some can criticize her, some can agree with her. That also comes with being a public figure on Twitter.

Sure they shouldn’t. But they still do. The myth of the sexy teenage temptress is prevalent in our society, it’s even in our pop culture. Clothes are considered to be an indication of the sexual willingness.

I don’t think that she’s an idiot. I think that she’s a mother of two young daughters who worries about the safety of her children.

Sure no one puts the blame on the hospital gowns. But people do put the blame on the way a girls dresses if a man behaves inappropriately with her.

Badu said it was a “man and a boy’s responsibility to control himself” and that “it’s deviant behavior to prey on young women and children.”

Tell that to, you know, the teachers that harass their students.

By trying to appeal to men feminists have watered-down feminism so much that it now turned from a women’s movement into, what I like to call, a neo-patriarchal movement. It is now actively hurting women, the people it was built by and for.

Except that a harasser will blame the victim.

When did she say that?

Please tell me where I said that women are blamed for what they wear.

But we already do that.

Place blame where it actually lies, with the people doing the harassing behavior.

Those people are also the majority. Do you think that you can change the way that people think in an instant?

What about the women who are skeptical of policies that have the potential to put them in more danger in public settings?

Who is that “we” you are talking about? I don’t know if you’ve noticed it, but “bad” behavior is considered acceptable by many.

Except that we don’t live in a society that holds men to “standards of adulthood and self-responsibility” when it comes to sexual harassment and the like.

The problem is with a man who, whatever his “natural” impulse (per Badu) to feel attracted to adolescent girls, does not somehow choose/manage to control his behavior.

Except that longer skirts are not burkas.
