Front Page of CNN: "Still, let me just say this to Mr. Strauss-Kahn or other horny men who think a quickie with someone they don't know at all seems like a good idea..."

I think we should have a "horny" walk now because we are getting blamed for being interested in sex.

CertainlyHeisenberg · 2011-07-03T22:07:43+00:00

Hmmmmm....

Isn't this a case of victim blaming?

Yes I think it is. Who wants to arrange a pimp walk?

rantgrrl · 2011-07-03T22:21:22+00:00

Wait a sec... but when /mr says men should be careful around women, /mr's being misogynist?

How does that work?

kronox · 2011-07-03T22:40:34+00:00

Yeah men have to be careful because of the obvious bias against them in the court system.. Not because of some biologically based reason, not because of a natural reason of any sort. It's because of a man (and woman) made law that gives an incredibly unfair advantage to women over men. Women on the other hand have to worry about std's really and that's it. They moan about raising children but why did they have a child with someone who wasn't going to help support them in the first place?

Fuck it, i guess don't have sex anymore is what feminists are trying to convey.

Demonspawn · 2011-07-03T21:25:03+00:00

When men harm women, the law is there to protect women.

When women harm men, the law is often the very tool they use to cause harm.

When a woman gets blind drunk among strangers and has sex she later regrets feminists shout, "She was raped, do not blame the victim!"

When a man has consensual sex and is later falsely accused of rape feminists shout "It's all his fault. He was asking for it."

Disgusting but it reveals the pathology of faux feminism in so many ways.

efaew · 2011-07-03T20:52:30+00:00

It's his fault for being horny and having a quickie. It's always the evil menz's fault!

Actually, she did nothing more than advise men to be cautious for their own good, in exactly the same way many on MensRights would advise women to be cautious what type of clothes they wear in certain environments.

If we're going to have principles around here, can we try to keep them consistent.

fondueguy · 2011-07-03T22:30:56+00:00

But Mr. Strauss-Kahn literally had the bitch along with the media, and state against him.

fondueguy · 2011-07-03T22:39:28+00:00

Wait a second, has a media person ever said something like whatthey said to Strauss, an actual victim and as opposed to just a demographic?!?

What she said is different than what the slut walkers are pissed about, she actually personally criticized a victim.

Whisper · 2011-07-04T04:53:04+00:00

Blame the victim much?

ghebert001 · 2011-07-04T13:11:33+00:00

Sounds like she's victim blaming to me. Men shouldn't have to fear their reputations, jobs and money being in jeopardy every time they look to have casual sex with a willing participant. Much like women will be quick to say "The best way to prevent sexual assault is for men not to assault women" well the best way to prevent women from making false accusations is for women to be held accountable for their actions and not be dishonest and deceptive.

2011-07-04T03:14:03+00:00

I read her article. Obviously most of you did not. It was well written and not at all feminist. She was telling men to be careful who they fuck. Nothing wrong with that. She never said it was the man's fault either. She presented both sides of the story.

efaew · 2011-07-03T20:42:06+00:00

Unfucking believable.

ThePigman · 2011-07-04T01:20:35+00:00

"if she is lying, then Strauss-Kahn will be freed and she will be in a heap of trouble"

Yeah, damn straight! Just like Crystal Mangum, and Danmel Ndonye, and Tawana Brawley....

CaptSnap · 2011-07-04T04:05:33+00:00

The feminists have succeeded in making heterosexual sex tantamount to rape.

We were upset about the comment in 2X but we really do live a world where its rape "if she thinks its rape." Strauss-Kahn wont go to jail (probably) but I would have and so would anyone here. But even money and influence didnt save his job (which his replacement is quite the misandrist).

NZ_ewok · 2011-07-04T00:24:23+00:00

Why is everyone here reading blame into this article. She simply pointed out that trusting someone you don't know is risky... and it is. I thought overall the article was well balanced (I read it three times to be sure), yet everyone is crying because she blames the guy. I think you can read this both ways. Try it.

ManThoughts · 2011-07-03T21:54:30+00:00

Victim blaming. Where are the SlutWalk whores when you need them?

ignatiusloyola · 2011-07-04T00:31:44+00:00

Well, they are right... a quickie with someone you don't know is very dangerous - it may lead to such accusations with little defense, it can lead to STIs (assuming the person who is willing to have sex with someone they hardly know is more likely to have had more partners, and thus is at higher risk for having an STI)...

2011-07-03T22:03:52+00:00

Still, let me just say this to Mr. Strauss-Kahn or other horny men who think a quickie with someone they don't know at all seems like a good idea: Be careful who you have sex with. Be careful who you are with in a room, alone.

Unfortunately this is good advice. A woman is a person who can destroy your life with just an accusation. I always put my phone on voice recorder when alone with any woman, even if it's entirely non-sexual. Protect yourself at all times!

omdoks · 2011-07-04T02:11:37+00:00

Thanks for posting this,

I'm bookmarking this to point out how different the standards for victim blaming are between genders.

beauseph · 2011-07-04T09:03:08+00:00

I agree!

Although I think a lot of people here are getting hung up on "horny men." This doesn't imply "all men are horny," does it?

2011-07-03T23:16:01+00:00

I had no problem with this piece. Really, it's a more eloquent way of saying something that's been stated many times on this subreddit: Don't stick your dick in crazy. Or, in this case, in someone you can't trust. That's pretty simple, decent advice.

chavelah · 2011-07-03T23:38:34+00:00

If we're going to be giving general advice based on this incident, "don't stiff the hooker" might be a better take-away.

Liverotto · 2011-07-03T21:23:02+00:00

Lesson of DSK? Be careful who you're alone with

Lesson to raped women? Be careful how you dress.

Unfuckingbelievable.

Pepper Schwartz, you are dumb cunt and filthy whore with a nice smile, I hope some insane angry man kidnaps you, put you in his cellar and makes you his cockslave for the next 5 years then throw you away like garbage.
