It's not protection. It's about blaming her.....and accepting the idea that men prey on women. How far is it from acceptance to endorsement?

Rush Limbaugh made it very clear when he so viciously attacked Sandra Fluke that he didn't know how it worked. He obviously thought you had to take a pill each time you had sex.

Exactly. If you can't say "vagina" without turning red, you shouldn't be legislating about it.

The guy who just replied to you called me a cunt so you might want to dismiss his troll ass.

I look at language like this and think it's no wonder some guys are so threatened by "affirmative consent." Look at this human oil spill, saying "she knows about it" like that gives him the right to invade her privacy? Do they really not know the difference? Or is it that they don't have to care?

The phrase "Hell hath no fury/like a woman scorned" was written four centuries ago, by a man who presumably blinded himself to the legions of men who did and do scummy things to their exes. (In the actual play the line is from, the heroine is jilted and commits suicide so it's her NEW Beau who gets revenge on the…

Why should I waste time on someone who DEMANDS I do for her what she REFUSES to do for me? And then you follow it up with that nice mental health slur. Nice notpology, too. Apparently your standards operate only to your benefit. Looks like another college feminist strikes again. You win feminism.

"I also have no idea why you're being super hostile."

Well, I guess Miss Long Term Feminist demands extreme consideration for her points but dismisses those she disagrees with with good, old-fashioned mental illness slurs and dismissal. So.. .you demand treatment you refuse to give. How nice. I can't imagine why anyone would disagree with you. What next? Would you…

So I guess you're going to ignore #notyourshield; #endfathersday, #gamergate, all the shit that Anita Sarkesian has gone through, all the shit that trolls have done to Zoe Quinn, so you can act all offended when someone uses their status to......shut up criticism of their viewpoint, which is to excuse would-be…

Except it wasn't consensual. They answered an ad that specified ignoring screams. Lucky for her they had some scruples but it was stupid and reckless. "There could never be another one"? There have been SEVERAL rape cases just like this and women DID get raped.

You have a loose definition of "everything. "

Apparently it was more than one.

Russia's third or fourth world. Where do I start? The country covers what, thirteen time zones, yet its population is less than that of the US. There is antibiotic TB ravaging its prisons and armed forces, among other diseases. Birth control is impossible to get, so abortions are common. Alcoholism is shockingly,…

I love that you claim to be a victim while bending over backward to defend would-be rapists....then get offended when I call bullshit. Oh, and ignore that it's not like Jez doesn't get trolled by numerous losers pretending to be women. All this with a history of about seven comments.

That's your opinion. I find it hard to believe that a survivor would fail to see the incredible dangers here.

The Puritans had some odd notions in places. At one point, early on, they believed men and women had equal see drives, so a woman might divorce for non performance. For the same reason, at least for a while, a woman who said she was raped was believed, because men and women both wanted sex and a woman who said…

We're talking about rape, which has its own unique set of rules. It's never blamed on the rapist, only the victim, yet society supposedly views it as a horrible crime———so much so that it is extremely reluctant to believe women who say they've been raped. Almost no rapists see the inside of a jail. It is the only…

Oh, I'm a nobody. Plus I tend to bitchslap trolls instead of dismissing them.

That's probably why the Puritans fled. Too much mercy.
