“Liberal men” who cry “#NotAllMen” at the drop of a trilby-called-”fedora” aren’t helping anything. They’re acting as agents of the status quo MRAs proudly and gleefully fight for.

Oh, it was intentional. Comment history proves it.

Because they think the bad women caused the nice shooters to shoot them.

Dear god the Greys got here fast.

here’s why: the women are African. there’s no fucking way, had this been an article about women and girls in a war torn european country ,would these people think such a thing!

There should be no using sex as a tool for giving away free resources to people in war and disaster torn areas. There is no “pro sex work” argument here. People are using free goods and services to get sex. Still rape, still manipulation, still shitty. Rape is bad, there is no question of how bad, is it more bad, or…

I think Alan Moore has said something similar about how horrified he is at all the guys who come up to tell him that they really identified with Rorschach.

If they agree to a blowjob for $5 (‘cause they ain’t getting 50), because the alternative is a beating they won’t forget, is it not rape?

Yes, they are. When people who are food-insecure, water-insecure, shelter-insecure, or medical-care-insecure are given material/financial aid (additional or not) on the condition that they perform sex acts, that’s coercion.

“Hey baby I know you just lost your entire family and are starving, but you know semen contains protein, and sex makes people forget things, like basic human decency or compassion.”

There isn’t a way to make this less horrible. Trying to make something like rape sound less bad, doesn’t make it better.

It would be nice if we could only promote the best candidate for any given position, but it’s not certain that it’s easy to even identify who that is.

Look let he who has not coerced sex from people in a disaster area cast the first stone. Wait wait shit let me get a stone too guys god damn it.

I honestly think it is more of a thing among authoritarian types — a certain tangle of sex and power and a fetishization of “innocence” and low empathy for the weak and automatic social cover because you’re well-known as a Trustworthy Person With Good Values. It’s a breeding ground for dysfunction.

Sensual Stalin indeed! Vrrrrowr!

this is always such a dumb comparison. Sure harassment is irritating for men from women (bachelorette parties are the worst for that, so gross) especially in groups but danger/fear factor isn’t there at all.

Let’s throw medical dramas in there too.

AHEM:

Bingo and yet they have the audacity to act shocked and surprised by this. No, this is the result of making abortion as inaccessable and unaffordable as possible. Own your shit, forced birthers. You wanted this, you campaign for this, you have bombed and maimed and killed for this. Own your shit.
