Yeah, I was actually going to call out OP for switching the gender, but then I watched the video just in case. It's weird, almost like the newspaper doesn't think a woman is capable of doing something like this.

Interesting how the student says "she" and the article just casually changes it to "the officer" and "he."

Dude we don't need to get homophobic about it. In my experience it's actually straight, white, upper-middle-class girls that spew most of the bullshit. Dykes are cool. Source: I go to a fucking women's college. And date lesbians on occasion. edits for clarity and source

I get yelled at and told I'm "triggering" people for telling them to stop that bullshit. Weekly. "YOU DON'T KNOW MAYBE SOMEBODY YOU KNOW WAS RAPED SO YOU'RE A RAPIST FOR NOT BELIEVING LOOKING AT PEOPLE IS RAPE" "Dude. I was raped." "INTERNALIZED MISOGYNY RAH RAH"

I think you're going about this the wrong way. The word "creep" is used largely to describe men as dangerous or uncomfortable to be around- but what is dangerous isn't its meaning, but the double standard it's a part of. Only MEN can be creeps. Women can't be creeps at all! So the best way to better men's positions is to use it when women are being creepy. It removes the double standard and turns it back into a serious word. The connotation should not be removed, it should just be re-appropriate…

It's whatever, dude. But yeah, that is what I was pointing out. I definitely don't think that sitting with your legs together is necessarily entirely biological, but I think crossing your legs has no evolutionary benefit for either gender and is only ever harmful. Glad we cleared that up.

I don't think biology is entirely discountable- did I not say his points were valid? I will, however, contest the fact that female children are not conditioned to cross their legs. Growing up female, I cannot count the times I was told "Don't sit like that, it's not ladylike." "Don't climb trees, it's not ladylike." Over, and over, and over again. It is extremely commonly reinforced by parents all over the world, because women are expected to be demure. And don't tell me we aren't, because that'…

All of your points are valid, but let's remember that girls are often raised by their parents to always cross their legs. And by often, I mean I have never seen a young girl that has never once been told not to "sit like a man" and that sitting with her legs apart is "unladylike." Crossing your legs at ALL, for either gender, is very unnatural. Women have larger hips and therefore crossing their legs strains their back muscles. You can make many of the same arguments across sex lines. Honestly, …

I agree so hard. Not every rapist is like my rapist, who obviously got a kick out of the fact that he was abusing me. I only know of a male-on-female example of rape that the rapist denied was rape, but bear with me: this is applicable to anybody of any gender. The rapist walked my roommate home after she'd had quite a bit to drink. My roommate repeatedly asserted to the rapist that they were fine and did not need to be walked back to their room. The rapist said that they were concerned for my r…

Don't know what to tell ya. I know my experience there has generally been positive, but I'm still disappointed that it's "run by SRS." And I wouldn't dismiss it as a man-hate sub, because it's really about creep-hate. It just so happens that women tend to get more messages in general (on social networking sites and dating sites especially) so they're going to have more creepiness to share. Anyway, if you just go there and search "she" you'll find quite a few high-karma posts of a man talking abo…

If you read the rules, they say that you don't have to be a feminist to post there, but to please be respectful. Also, if you tell somebody to "just ignore them" or "victim-blame," they're gonna delete your post and ban you. It's got strict rules, but I doubt you've been auto-banned. In fact, one of my comments got filtered for genital shaming once. I removed the offending part and they re-admitted it and were very nice about the whole thing. As such, I have no problem with the moderation of the…

...I don't know where you've been, but there are pretty frequent male posts about female creeps. As for bashing, yeah, it's a sub devoted to shaming creepy behavior. And no, I haven't been banned. It's not against the rules to disagree with the mods' politics.

Most of my link karma is from submitting hilariously creepy PMs from OKC and Tinder to the subreddit. I know creep-shaming is a thing, but that doesn't mean some people aren't super creepy. Men and women! I get a laugh out of it. But now I feel like a scumbag for liking an SRS-run sub :(

Can women be trusted to take their birth control? Correctly, reliably? Can either party be trusted to provide condoms? Here's a crazy idea: How about we all take responsibility to have safe sex, and then we don't have to worry about our partner so much.

Are you only talking about women? Because if you're not, you have a lot of learning to do. For example, there is evidence that just by being black (or Mexican, or almost any race other than white) in the United States, you have fewer chances at a job, higher chance of being arrested, and a higher risk of being harassed by police officers in stop-and-frisk cities. That's an indication that privilege does exist and some people are unfairly denied it due to things they cannot change.

I actually acknowledged that in my first post, but I think it's worth highlighting again. The guy that raped me ended up getting charged by another girl (I didn't press charges) and went to prison on charges of rape and several counts of battery and a few other things, I think.

Haven't watched the video, but I will when I get home from work. I'd like to point out that like anything offensive, rape jokes can be done a right way and a wrong way. They way Daniel Tosh did it, saying it would be funny if a specific woman in the crowd was raped, is above and beyond the wrong way. But I've seen and heard some zingers that I found very funny.

Does theft affect different businesses differently? Hell yes. Is it the same crime if it's committed at Walmart versus a mom-and-pop store? Yeah, it is. I think the same principle should apply to rapists. I mean, you can take my case for example. My PTSD symptoms are far less bad than a lot of other peoples', but my rape affected me in a lot of ways- in fact, every time I smile in the mirror I see how it affected me.

Dude, you too. I post in this subreddit because discussion is not only allowed, but welcomed and encouraged. Think this kind of debate would fly in the feminism subreddit? I don't. I am interested to learn why you don't think less violent rapes should be treated the same way. I think rape is rape, and the more violent ones will get other charges, like assault and battery, which add to sentencing. But you are right- the instances where it's difficult to tell should not be sentenced or treated the…

See, there's a lot of gray in law, unfortunate as it is. I say go with a case-by-case basis of action, because it's incredibly difficult to establish lines. For example: Both people have four drinks. One person has never had alcohol before and feels very intoxicated. The other drinks all the time and barely feels a buzz. Person #2 makes a move on person #1, knowing that #1 is not used to drinking and may not be in shape to make a call. Is that rape? Assault? Anything?

I think what I meant by that line is "equality" is the common rhetoric- that feminism stands for equality. I do know for a fact that there are a lot of folks identifying as feminist that have sympathy for the battles men face, but don't think they're that important, or rather, as important as those of women. If they have that mindset from the get-go, it's advantageous to try and change the idea that one is more important than the other. In the end, Feminism is supposed to be meant to help societ…

OH also teach her to respect herself. That's the most important bit. My parents helped me with that by REQUIRING me to be independent and get a job. Unfortunately, my no-drunk-sex rule is a direct result of a lot of the bad things I've seen. I hope your daughter doesn't have to experience that. Maybe talk to her from an early age about sex and things like drinking and drugs. That would probably have helped me not make the choices that lead to my rape. Like hanging out with a felon.

It's a seriously grey area for me. On the one hand, I do feel like I would feel very violated if I woke up next to somebody I don't know. On the other, so would he. I honestly think it's pretty easy to tell when somebody's blackout drunk. I've been plenty inebriated myself and realized that one of my friends needed to go the fuck to bed when he started touching girls in a way that made them uncomfortable and stumbling around. But no, I don't think it's the same as "she's asking for it." Inebriat…

No problem! If you have a reasonably close relationship with her, you can definitely tell her you're open to talking about it. The best thing I had in my friends was an open channel for talking about it, but no pressure to do so. Good luck!

It depends on which feminist you're talking to about it. In my experience, there's been a lot of different viewpoints that can be beneficial or harmful depending. What sticks out to me most in my memory of dealing with feminism from the point of somebody who's experienced rape is when I went to a support group for people like me. I'm now a member of the board for the sexual assault survivors advocates at school and am trying to institute changes. What disturbed me a lot in the group was that the…

You really don't seem like the kind of person that would do that, judging from your post. But yeah, I actually really hate the appropriation and misuse of the term, as well as appropriation of PTSD terminology like "triggers" to describe things far less severe.

Thanks, man! It's important that you do, too. I like MRAs because regardless of how offensive their opinions are to me- and there is a relatively broad spectrum of who identifies as an MRA- they are always able to explain their point of view calmly and logically. It's something I admire greatly. Keep doing what you're doing, too :)

That is very true. But, paraphrasing from what another redditor said (she was featured in /r/BestOf and I can't be arsed to find the link) I would like to be able to go out in public wearing the clothes I choose to wear and maybe even drink without being assaulted. That said, it is practical and effective to coach people on the people they choose to surround themselves with. If you hang with friends you really trust, you're far less likely to encounter a problem.

I think rape can be a lot of things, but at its very base it is somebody forcing your body to do something you don't want it to. That rolls abuse into it as well. The problem is that what I just said is a very, very ambiguous definition and can be abused, so let me lay out how I think it should be defined. Did you want to do the sex act? Were you in a decent enough condition to make that decision? Did your abuser/rapist do anything to remove your ability to consent? "Decent condition" for me inc…

As a woman who has been raped, I think you're hilarious. There's so much wrong with the modern feminist treatment of rape and other issues like racism and sexism.

Women are worst to other women, socially speaking. At least, that's my experience. They suck up to men to get some dick and some money, and are downright cruel most of the time.

It's honestly because having your body constantly commented on is really annoying. I hate it when guys look at my boobs all the time or talk about how they want to fuck me or whatever. It's demeaning to them and it's demeaning to me: first because, just because they are men doesn't mean they are ruled by their penises and have to talk about sex all the time, and secondly because I am not always thinking about sex and do not always want to be associated with sex. That's all.

Oh, for sure. I do get panic attacks and flashbacks when triggered, but it's unreasonable to make everybody else completely stop talking about sexual assault because I might overhear. It doesn't bother me.

I have PTSD from a violent rape. The only thing that triggers me is seeing tall, skinny blonde men with long hair and any kind of tattoos on a bike in my peripheral vision. That makes me move out of the way, get close to whoever I'm with, and wait for them to go away. THAT is what a trigger is. Not "ew new wat do I do rape is being mentioned." (No offense to tall, skinny blonde men with long hair and tattoos, I don't have anything against you. It's just that that's what my rapist looked like.)

Her being 16 means that, in most US states, the guy was at least guilty of statutory rape. He was an adult and she was a minor. I don't feel qualified to comment on any other accusations, but that was legally rape.

My ex-boyfriend used to love wearing my dresses, and since we were the same clothes size, I let him as much as he liked :) Nowadays I still find it pretty sexy when a man (especially straight men) has the courage to say "I like wearing clothes made for women and it makes me feel sexy/pretty/happy." For those on this thread saying they love wearing womens' clothes... good for you!

You know, I originally did. But after reading the posts about fathers, and thinking about how important my relationship with my father is to me, I realized that there are a lot of wrongs in society that do only apply to men. Reading the articles and picking out what was right about MensRights really helped me see MRA as a far more constructive group than many Feminists would have me believe.

That.... really sucks. I'm sorry that happens so frequently. I feel like so many people are completely unable to empathize with their partners, especially us gals; because we allow ourselves to think of ourselves as the "fairer sex" or the weaker side, our SO's have to take the "stronger" side. It's just plain wrong. Relationships should be about reciprocity. I hope you find somebody someday that responds better to your emotional needs :)

Man, I've started seeing other girls' behavior in another light, too. When girls ask me for relationship advice, and actually follow through on it, they're invariably grateful and tell me how stupid and irrational their behavior had been...

Interestingly enough, this is an example of the highly damaging effect of "stereotype threat"- or when a member of a certain group of people internalizes a stereotype associated with that group and ends up becoming that stereotype. In fact, there was a study performed on women, which is applicable here, too: Essentially, a scientist gave a standardized test similar to the GRE to a group of women.

So, so true. I've got what I want- generally equal treatment. And when I feel like a guy's being a douche because of my gender, I'll call him out on it. But that doesn't mean that when I go out showing some cleavage I don't expect some stares. I'm reasonably attractive and I know it, and if I run around with my boobs a'jiggling there's always going to be somebody assuming I'm out looking for trouble.

This is true, but the problem is that Feminism really isn't a unified ideology. There's first wave (suffragettes), second wave (Gloria Steinem), and third wave (Madonna's pointy tits). The problem is that these fucktards can't decide if they'd rather be "empowered" and desexualized for an "equal society" or if they'd rather run around looking like sluts. Not a defense, just pointing out the fact that they don't know what they want.

Hey, I don't even trust MYSELF to stay on the pill. Which is why I have the implant. But the option should be there for men, too. It'll give them greater control of their bodies, and if contraception does go wrong it'd be a nice backup. Peace of mind and all that.

What about sober people messing with super drunk people? I don't know if it's society's job to judge people based on their drinking behaviors. Alcohol is a legal drug. I definitely think courts should be more lenient if the accused "rapist" was also verifiably intoxicated- but, come on, if somebody's stumbling and making a fool of themselves, it takes a real jackass to be able to say "Hey, let's fuck her!" Really, is that even attractive? Now, whether it's up to courts to decide whether to punis…

Um... what? I mean, replying to your comment, the solution is for society to find a middle ground. There are certainly instances of sexual predation where people- sober, or drunk- take advantage of other, very intoxicated people (you know, blackout drunk) - and those predators, who take advantage of people who literally cannot string words together, should be punished. But being a little tipsy isn't an excuse, and using it as such is ridiculous. I'm just confused as to why you replied to my comm…

Have you ever incited a woman to orgasm through any means other than the clitoris? Because I certainly haven't. Sure, penetration's fun and all, but the clitoris is analogous to the penis in a female's body. Can you orgasm without a penis? Saying something like that is just misinformed.

The reason Assange in particular is being blasted the way he is, is because this entire trial is poppycock anyway and completely political. It's not about him raping anybody, it's about tarnishing his image so people will stop supporting him. As for modern society in general, wish I had an answer to that. Until somebody is either caught in the act, or convicted, any accused criminal should not be exposed to the media and the public. It kind of sucks, but this extends to not only presumed rapists…

True that. I feel like extremism in any movement kills the original intent of that movement. I attend a womens' college, and... Well, I've gotten on the bad side of more than one professor when I pointed out- and didn't shut up about- the hypocrisy in modern feminism. It's like telling a Christian that Jesus wasn't the savior, or something. Feminism is practically a religion today... and it's kinda scary.

I definitely think this is true.

I think that the definition of non-forcible rape would be in situations of coercion, impaired judgement, and/or being totally passed out. That is, if somebody feels unable to say no (as in they're being blackmailed, etc.), or they are mentally incapable of consent (in the case of severe drunkenness or even some kind of mental handicap) that would be non-violent rape.

Actually, I can't really remember whether he was compromised or not. But given his behavior on other occasions, I doubt it. Look, I'm saying we had consensual sex. And I didn't press charges against him. Because that would be stupid. Because it was consensual, and I had put myself into that situation knowingly. However, another woman may have said it was rape due to my judgement being compromised- because that's what a lot of women define "date-rape" as. I do regret having had sex with him (espe…

I actually said nothing about it being non-consensual. In fact, I mentioned that I did not press charges because it was, in fact, consensual sex. It simply could be defined as "rape" by ultra-feminists.

Distinguishing "forcible rape" as different from "other rape" is bad because it takes the "badness" away from non-forcible rape. But just because you're not cornered in an alley doesn't mean you aren't coerced or forced into sex. I have actually been in a situation which one side may call "rape" and which another may call "bad decision making."

I think, on either side, the idea of "rape culture" is not only applicable to the prison system. "Rape culture," as feminism sees it, is the normalization of rape, as well as the blaming of victims for "inviting" rape upon them. In that light, rape culture certainly applies to prison systems, as people look at criminals as "inviting" people to rape them (in prison). That doesn't mean that blaming the victim doesn't happen in society outside of prison, too. In fact, there's a lot of blaming-the-v…

No woman should treat a man like this.
