Radical Feminist Susan Brownmiller: "I find the position 'Don't blame us, we're survivors' to be appalling."

"Extend your focus to the larger percentage of women and girls who are in danger of being raped. They are more important than the college kids."

They are going to hate her for that one. Sure enough down in the comments they bash her. They find other things to criticize, but what it comes down to is they think she is outdated. I thought they were supposed to be against "ageism."

Also, the rape kits that have not been processed are a huge problem, and they are not dealing with that.

Its just amazing, that you never hear the words "rape kit" coming from the mouths of the "rape culture" types. You would think that, in the age of DNA testing, college feminists would run to the rape kit as proof of sex at least.

But that proof implies accountability to the accuser, so I guess its to be avoided.

What I have never understood is how victim prevention is seen as victim blaming.

Telling someone not to get blackout drunk and walk down a dark alley isn't the same as saying its your fault for getting raped.

If you told me that I was going to a party with a bunch of known rapists and there was a high chance I'd be raped; my response wouldn't be "fuck you, tell them not to rape".

I'm totally fine with with movement against victim blaming, its totally valid .

If Im assaulted tonight the last thing I'm going to want to hear are idiots trying to tell me I'm stupid .

Meanwhile there are great arguments to be making against them, instead of arguing to blame people - just because they argue against it .

She is right about ignoring working class women, feminist promote what they call "rape culture" by making rape about mainly white, privileged college women instead of the majority of rape victims .

Does she say anything about the idea that only 2% of rape reports are false? It's her figure, you know.
