Concerning “revealing clothes”: you can immediately detect how wrong this assumption is, if you take into account that “revealing” can mean so many different things. For example: I’ve been to Saudi Arabia and if you don’t wear a hijab there, it is considered “revealing”. And it FEELS pretty revealing, since everybody…

You’re comparing an accident with another person’s conscious decision to force him/herself on another person. It’s not a valid comparison. You cannot control what another person decides to try to do or does.

since only about 1/5 rapes are committed by strangers, i guess the reasonable thing then is to tell women not to have any family members, friends, work colleagues, or acquaintances—since that would be the only way to ensure one isn’t raped by someone one knows.

People who have sympathy for her are short sided. She just made everything difficult for the victims, there is some girl right now who is gonna read this and blame herself and don’t report the rapist. There are people who will use this to shit on rape victims and to victim blame them.

The old perfect world line. No one, and I mean no one, thinks we live in a fairytale perfect world where we get to do everything we want because we should be able to. Assessing dangerous situations is a skill most people develop, but a lack of that skill, or a misreading of a situation or friendship, does not make you…

Years ago I remember reading an interview with her criticizing women who work and I thought you are a massive asshole working rockstar mother.

Got into this on twitter and some dumbass argued and argued and finally blocked me because he didn’t like the whole logic thing.

Welp there goes my idol. My badass, feminist, vegan, rocker lady. A fucking rape apologist.

Chrissie Hynde also says that men are weak and we ladies need to take care of them. And she feels bad about being ‘too independent’. Methinks Chrissie Hynde has some serious issues she might want to deal with.

I saw her in concert before then. She spent an inordinate amount of time insulting her fans (you know, the people who paid money to see her). She was an idiot then and she’s an idiot now.

So: don’t go out on dates. And make sure you don’t make yourself look attractive in any way if you do go on a date, because then it’s your fault. In fact, agreeing to go on a date to begin with indicates you have some sexual attraction to that person to begin with so what’s the problem when he decides he’s going to go…

Er, the guy who attacks you?

She was raped and that is terrible, but f**k this noise

Obviously Chrissy, as a survivor, is entitled to process her assault in whatever way feels right to her. But she’s been on this anti-feminist “I’m not like other girls I’m a cool girl ™” kick for quite a while now, and she’s far past the age where that kind of ignorance and misogyny is remotely cute or acceptable. I…

Precisely! So if I wear a short skirt, a mid-level executive turns into a rape-hungry werewolf?! Where is the CDC? Where is the NIH? Can we get a fucking vaccine or something?!

It is so uncomfortable reading this literally twenty minutes after reading a story in the Sunday Mirror, where a mother tells of her daughter’s suicide. She’d been out drinking with friends to celebrate that she’d been accepted into university. She got into what she thought was a cab but wasn’t, was taken to the man’s…

How can you be in such a bubble that you find it SURPRISING that people might think “No, really, she was asking for it” might be NOT CONTROVERSIAL?

Mmm, mostly I don’t get the logic of the type of person with the “if you were dressed a certain way it’s your fault” kind of thing, because it paints (generally) men with this brush of they cannot contain themselves or are capable of compassionate thought for other people. In which case, I would posit, if what you say…

I choose to believe Chrissie Hynde suffered a head injury in 1983, and all subsequent behavior is the result.
