Well that's cool with me, I'm of the mind that more people should be told to toughen the fuck up.

"her depiction of what happens when you are raped is deeply offensive to my sensibilities"
victim shaming? oh please, get over yourself.
lolwat. my response to trauma was to get the fuck on with my life. Everything else you just said was a massive strawman. I merely agreed with Elle W's alternate take on rape in society. You therein took it upon yourself to construct this fanciful MRA rape apologist boogeyman and then accuse us of lying because we…
wow, gross. Do you want names, dates, times, and court records? Mine or of the guy I knew? Would you like me to contact my mother's best friend and request a copy of the letter from the ex-wife admitting she made it all up? Or perhaps a copy of their divorce papers? Or how about a copy of his obituary? or maybe the…
I have related this anecdote elsewhere, but I'll revisit it. I'm a rape survivor, I also knew a man falsely accused of rape. 15 years after my assault I'm happy, stable, well to do, love, and getting on with my life. The man I knew, 10 years after the accusation (as well as a stint in jail, loss of his kids,…
How is Elle W "truly gross" and "awful"? As a rape survivor, I think Elle has an interesting point: why is rape treated is the worst thing ever? Its terrible and traumatic, but so are a lot of victim based crimes. In the scope of Most Terrible Crimes Ever, I'd have to go with murder-I mean, you're dead so there's no…
I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume kinja is acting up, but if you're dismissing comments because they interfere with your pithy snark, well.. I dunno, that's kinda lame.
lololol are you seriously dismissing comments that are calling out your foolishness?
..are you trying to insinuate that a false rape accuser gets a free pass (and sympathy) because, possible crazy?
heh that is pretty cute.
I like cats, so I got a cat tattoo. 11 years later I still like cats, in fact, I'm pretty sure I'm always going to like cats.
oh man, you reeeally cut me to bone with that one. yeowch.
Because you keep replying? and also its super easy, and an amusing way to pass the time while I wait for the printer to be fixed.
*gasp* oooh me?! lil ol me?! I'll personally have a hand in shaping cultural evolution? wow, that's pretty heady, and a lot of responsibility. Man, I better take my job seriously then, and really pour over my Internalized Misogyny manuals as well as Upholding the Patriarchy course work. Hm, I might need to pick up Rape…
femnisim 101? eh nah, I rather take class that would enrich my life and provide marketable skills. However I did take a women's studies 101 course back in college, got an A, it was relatively easy since I padded my papers with buzz words and jargon-never had to actually say anything other than complain about the…
again with the 'him'! for the last time, not a dude.
Yup, there's that good old feminism 101 buzzword again. Regardless, you can link to as many wikipedia articles and feminist blogs you want, throw all the jargon at me, doesn't change the fact that I'm not the one going through life scared and suspicious of strange men speaking to me.
Why I am a little flower, thank you! I'll take being delicate, pretty, sweet, and receiving the favors of men over...I dunno, stomping around viewing every man as a potential rapist.
Ahh yes, the trusty fallback; "internalized misogyny", aka, needlessly intellectualizing the concept of "I know what you are, but what am I?", with a dash of 'no true feminist'.
