Seriously, what the hell is this about? You know what the potential victims don’t need? Being graded and further humiliated. You know what is binary? Rape. You were raped or not. Any discussion of “rapeable” is an abomination to justice and common decency.

EXACTLY. I’m embarrassed that so many are chiming in with the looks based responses, as if that makes one tiny shit of a difference. Pretty idiotic response to an idiot who thinks rape has to do with physical attractiveness. i’d hope most Jezebel readers would know better. Guess not.
It’s not that it “bothers some good people.” It’s that it literally makes Jezebel a much worse place for everyone who isn’t a rapey, misogynistic asshole. After the first comment, every comment from this guy happened because you engaged him. Everyone reading this thread now gets to be exposed to a long string of…
And, not that it matters (because Christ, fucking no), but Cosby DID pick only the “hottest” women to rape. He literally had deals set up with modeling and acting agencies who would literally send young women to him for “mentoring.” The interviews with the limo driver who claims to have transported dozens of these…
Hateful words from a little man. When I was in high school, I was repeatedly bullied and sexually assaulted by this kid and no one did anything about it. At one moment he would say “you’re so ugly no one would even rape you”, and in the next, he’d say he’d “fuck the dyke out of [me].” This is all language I’ve heard…
You just summed up Damon Wayons’, Chrissie Hynde’s, and the entire Republican Party’s philosophy of rape in one brief sentence. And they’re all fucking idiots.
Do these guys realize that as soon as they say something like this, we all get VERY interested in their romantic histories?
Attractiveness, as subjective as it may be, should not even be a thought when discussing rape. There is no rape-happens-only-to-beautiful-people rule here. That he can say that with a straight face and the interviewer doesn’t immediately shut him down, is the worst part of this interview imo.
Let’s not fall into an assessment of who is or isn’t rapeable. Damon’s frame for this is fucked up. We don’t have to use it.
I think now would be a really good time to remind him that a FlyGirl is now and will continue to be richer and more famous than he will ever hope to be.
“But if you don’t play your cards right, we won’t marry you!”
Dude, that’s the definition of playing my cards right. Nobody wants to be married to any of those guys.
That was exactly my thought! He called an interviewer a bitch AND THEY CONTINUED THE INTERVIEW?!?!? Wha?
he needs to shut up.
I can think of easier money hustles than accusing someone of rape.
Brava!
You know your own kids, and you know what trips their triggers and what's cool. Some kids are just more chill than others. My oldest was great at 2 - talked, sat, played, was generally easygoing; my youngest - let's just say I STILL have nightmares about her tantrums when she was 2 - 3 years old. And she's 15 now.
actually if you bring ME somewhere and give me a coloring book i will also be quiet and well-behaved.
Totally. This very much depends on the kid. We had a 5 year old with us on my husband's last work retreat (not ours because I actually like to retreat) and we went to a different upscale restaurant every night and she was not a problem. I'm sure most people had no idea. She was eating foie gras and bone marrow. Lol.
My daughter is usually amazing at restaurants. She "talks" now, so she's a bit noisier than she used to be, but she's normally an angel. Even my in-laws were able to take her to a an expensive hibachi/sushi place and they received glowing appreciation of my daughter's behavior. Even servers have gone out of their way…
