[quote name="Jessica Alba"][quote name="Mysterio"][quote name="Jessica Alba"]That rape jokes make people dismissive of real rape crimes? This is no more true than jokes involving violence or murder. In fact, the kinds of rape most often joked about are child abuse and prison rape so I'm not sure where you're getting your cries of misogyny and YOU CANT POSSIBLY UNDERSTAND from, other than wanting to be above reproach. .[/quote] It's important to locate rape in culture because women don't want to believe that most men want to fuck most of them most of the time, and those men that lack self restraint go on to rape. Women don't want to see their sons, fathers, husbands, friends, co-workers, whatever, as intrinsic rapists who are held back by the exercise of their willpower. Instead rape has to be a product of a patriarchy that conceives of women as chattel owned by their fathers or husbands to be disposed of as they see fit, or it's the product of popular culture that erodes women's boundaries through mockery and makes them rapeable. Never mind that the Northern European countries with the most gender equitable social arrangements have the highest rate of sexual violence in the developed world...[/quote] Remember, men aren't really to blame for rape. Or rather the idea of blaming anyone for rape is absurd. There's no way to fix it. Why even bother trying? As soon as you do it just gets worse. Women should know this and protect themselves better. Speaking of which, I can't help but kill people, and I'll find you some day. I'm just an intrinsic killer. I can't help myself, I cannot be stopped, any attempt to modify my behavior will make it worse, and I will find you. Build a panic room. Always tell a friend where you're going. Learn self-defense. Make sure you're not dressed in a way that might excite my urge to kill, my irrepressible urge to kill. It's in my genetics. 100% of my ancestors were either killers or people who barely repressed their urges to kill through exceptional self-control. I'm looking for you, specifically, because I know you'll understand. Our eyes will meet while I'm mutilating your genitals with an axe and you'll wink and I'll know that means "it's okay, buddy, I was asking for it." Even if you're screaming for me to stop, I'll know that's what you really meant. There is no other explanation. This is the truth. This is reality. [/quote]
