Right— "too much responsibility for their own actions" is what they're really saying. They're twisting themselves into knots to find a way to make women shoulder SOME responsibility for men's own actions.

Sure hope the ball is rolling that way... I agree that the fact that they're all fretting about being seen as predators is definitely a baby-step in the right direction.

Hey, that's awesome! Keep on keeping on!

I have a little sister who is at that age and time in life, and I doubt whether my mom is going to say anything to her about these sorts of things. As an older brother I try not to treat her like she's a possession (e.g. if you put my hands on my sister, I'll kill you type of bullshit), but I still care deeply about…

I am not a bike. I am not a thing. I can not lock up my p***y. I can not leave my womanhood at home. My default status is not supposed to be rapable until dressed in a smelly porcupine suit. The price for my participating in society is not assault. Anyone who says this is saying that I'm not free, that I'm not an…

"I can't lock up my vagina."

"Some men feel that too much responsibility for preventing sexual assault has been put on their shoulders."

Replace "raped" with "murdered" or "spray-painted" in all rape apologist's sentences, as a thought exercise. If a woman doesn't want to be murdered or spray-painted, she shouldn't go out in a short skirt and get drunk.

My vagina is an unlocked bike. Sitting in a quad of the human condition, waiting to see who comes first, a man to steal my heart or a man to steal innocence from my two-wheeled flower. My vagina has rusty spokes, from a high school mishap where I left my vagina out in the rain too long. Sometimes I ride my vagina all…

See, none of these clumsy and offensive rape analogies would happen if we all could just recognize the plain fact that women get raped not because of anything they DO, but because of what they ARE.

I don't get why guys spend so much time being concerned whether or not their advances are going to be construed as sexual assault or rape. I've been having sex with women for decades now and never once worried about it. You know why? Because I've never had sex with a woman I wasn't sure wanted to have sex with me.

I think it should start in middle school, even. In our public school district, kids get the talk about sex at age 10, fifth grade. Guess when we got the consent talk?

The best advice for potential rapists and/or victims of sexual assault has been around for years. Just listen to the immortal words of Antoine Dodson:

You just need to search a little deeper on the internet. There are devices with locks that will let you go out.

Some men feel that too much responsibility for preventing sexual assault has been put on their shoulders,

"Do I deserve to have my bike stolen be repeatedly beaten on the head with my bike if I leave it unlocked on the quad?" No, you don't.

To be fair, baguettes are always asking for it.

A woman's body is not the same as a fucking bicycle. I can't lock up my vagina.

That unlocked bike with it's basket just longing for a french loaf was asking for it.

I think it's time to add some new mandatory courses to the highschool and university curriculum... common sense being one of them, and rape being the other. I'm serious.
