How to Stop Rape - Typhonblue

Thats a great point she made about how talking about rape as if its a normal trait in men that we need to be conditioned out of would have the effect of normalizing rape in the minds of rapists.

I love how feminists so often seem to be "fighting" things they are doing themselves.

Typhonblue is a huge credit to this movement. Props to her

This is typhon's most effective article to date. Bravo!

Powerful stuff.

This is Typhon's best piece yet. I think the "boy rape camps" bit was about as hyperbolic as "rape culture," but I'm wiling to bet that that was intentionally polemic.

I think this argument goes further. The normalization of rape in this way also disempowers would-be rape victims by telling them there's nothing they can do to mitigate the risks of becoming a victim.

Awesome article.

The feminist view on tackling rape really shows their ugly traditionalist roots. They are the equivalent of those people picketing for the death penalty because they want to feel morally superior, while at the same time dehumanizing criminals by viewing them as simply born evil, thus nullifying any humanity or prior circumstances.

They do not truly want to solve the problem because they are blinded by anger. They want men to suffer, and to feel shame for simply being male. You can't have your cake and eat it too. You can't force the masculine narrative that men are never victims on men and then expect them not to break.

Now all she needs is dirt on feminists covering up female on male sexual abuse (which I believe we had a few weeks ago?) and even more nails are in the coffin.

Nailed it.

Great article. Thanks for sharing.

I always assumed that Typhonblue was male. I have found myself agreeing with most with her comments on /r/MR in the past.

Part of me wants to go back and check that I didn't somehow say the wrong thing while talking to her. But another part says that it doesn't matter. If we want equality then we should be able to say what we think openly and disagree sometimes.

One of the big problems with feminism is that it won't allow open discussion. That thought process tells me how unbalanced this discussion has become. I shouldn't have to consider guarding my words because I'm talking to a female, that's ridiculous. I'm sure Typhonblue could cope if I disagreed with her and so can anyone else, including the feminists.

I liked the beginning, but disagreed with the part about men becoming rapists after being raped by women. Not that it's wrong, by any means, just incomplete. Some people are compelled and willing to do so, some people were abused by men, and some are even sociopaths with no history of abuse.

mediainfidel · 2013-04-22T19:08:50+00:00

Some very good points here, particularly concerning the normalization of rape resulting from the rape culture narrative. But I find it a bit simplistic to blame "female" abusers for rape. The problem is abusers generally and the cycle of abuse they perpetuate.

What makes these women abuse and rape children? Outside of possibly sociopathic outliers, I would put my money on them also being abused/raped at the hands of others, women and men, and so on.

That being said however, I do agree we as a society need to acknowledge women as perpetrators equally responsible for perpetuating this cycle, and completely do away with the gendered notions of sexual abuse.

10,000 boys a year are being sexually abused by female staff in juvenile detention facilities in the US. A YEAR.

Do you have any other support for this claim? According to the article you attached, the study involved asking the detained kids of these facilities and not doing anything else to cooberate their credibility. My father worked at an adult correctional facility for over 20 years. I have a hard time simply calling prison staff sex abusers based solely on the word of kids who have their own problems with crime and therefore don't have much credibility. Additionally, many teen boys would find having a sexual relationship with prison staff as something to boast about. This also doesn't help their credibility.

He's a bit offensive but its understandable given the problem, I think.
