<p>All for the lulz</p>
<p>loool
I laughed. surely the feminists didn’t, but I hope they eventually realise that this was a joke.
…
just read the last part. alright, somebody beat down this idiotic racist chump</p>
<p>It would be a lot easier to laugh at the joke if I hadn’t encountered as many men as I have who actually think this way.</p>
<p>I didn’t think this was that funny, but I didn’t take offense either. </p>
<p>No, no woman deserves to be assaulted. But honestly, if you don’t want to be treated like crap- don’t be around guys who are going to treat you like crap. ESPECIALLY don’t get drunk around these people! I mean come on! Have enough respect for yourself to say “Hey, I’m not going to put myself in a situation where there is a much higher likelihood of me being treated like a piece of meat.”</p>
<p>I’m not going to walk around Detroit late at night by myself because I don’t want to be mugged, raped, or killed. Why would I go to a frat party and drink with guys that are notorious for taking advantage of drunk girls?</p>
<p>ETA:
I was raped when I wasn’t even a teenager yet, wearing a baseball uniform and no makeup. Trust me, I know that there are slimeballs in the world. But, there was nothing I could have done in that situation. I am comfortable enough with myself to know that there are some things I shouldn’t do so that I am not in more danger. In a perfect society, I could go out in slutty clothes and get messed up with no consequences, but I am intelligent enough to know I don’t live in that world. All women should have that much intelligence.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>what? i never said rape was justifiable. i said that if girls are going to dress like sluts and get drunk and make out/have sex with guys at parties under the excuse that they were drunk so it’s ok, then they shouldn’t be offended when a guy passes out a letter talking about treating these girls like, well, sluts.</p>
<p>It’s just mocking the stereotypical Frat culture, it’s not actually real.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’ve known girls that go to these frat parties and specifically tell me “Well I don’t really want to have sex with them but I’ll probably get really drunk and then I will.”</p>
<p>No joke, that’s almost a direct quote that I’ve been told. From several different girls.</p>
<p>I haven’t read this entire thread but girls that go to these parties know what they’re getting into and do it intentionally. It makes absolutely no sense but they do it. </p>
<p>I guess it’s an easy way of being able to let go of societal norms while being able to excuse it as “I was drunk”. Nothing wrong with a sexually open girl, I just wish society was at the point where girls could be open (like guys can) without having to get drunk to excuse it.</p>
<p>but even if the girls go to these parties, does it make it right for the guys to do it to them? (whatever it may be.)</p>
<p>in many cases of rape/sexual assault, the fault is pinned on the girl. “she was asking for it…she shouldn’t have been wearing that…she shouldn’t have been alone…ETC”</p>
<p>it indicates that men are weak sexual beasts that when provoked, can’t control themselves.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Did ANYONE claim this? </p>
<p>No one is saying it’s the victim’s fault, but women need to have enough respect for themselves to not PUT themselves in that situation in the first place. Women need to protect themselves because no one else is going to do it for them. </p>
<p>Sorry, but if we’re going to be HONEST with ourselves here, women damn near to to EXPECT that if they’re going out in slutty clothes and getting way too drunk with people that are notorious for taking advantage of women, then women almost need to expect that they’re going to be in trouble- whether something actually happens or not. Maybe this way they can make the intelligent decision to avoid the situation all together. </p>
<p>This is coming from a survivor who never wants to see anyone go through what I did. It’s already a scary world for women- and that’s the truth. Why would you EVER want to KNOWINGLY increase the likelihood of being attacked? I will never understand.</p>
<p>i meant to say doesn’t make it right, without the question mark, and i wasn’t referring to what you said, with/without the correction i just stated</p>
<p>but romanigypsyeyes, we have more in common than you think. i do agree with EVERYTHING you’ve said.</p>
<p>While I agree with what you’re saying romani, I think there is a time and a place to discuss that particular aspect of the situation, and I don’t think it’s here-- I think that’s risking taking the focus off of the slimeballs. I am more comfortable bracketing that and discussing it as the completely separate issue that it is.</p>
<p>agreed 10 char</p>
<p>I’m not convinced the article isn’t satire.</p>
