What does this have to do with my rights?

This article is dripping with transmisogyny, police apologism, and heterosexism. Gross.

"We're all supposed to be ANGRY! that society blames the victim for being raped...But hang on just a minute. Seriously, does that even happen any more? Not really. It hasn't happened for a long time."

Funny, it happens on r/mensrights all the time.

He says two completely incongruous things:

The First Thing You Need to Know: SlutWalk is a protest against something that doesn't exist. We're all supposed to be ANGRY! that society blames the victim for being raped.

But then he says:

When challenged on this detail, SlutWalkers will usually point out that in rape trials, the victim is sometimes humiliated, as the rapist's lawyer will try to slander the victim's reputation as a way of exculpating his client.

Evidence law is very strict about what evidence can be admissible. When a legislature doesn't legislate against slandering the reputation of victims and questioning their sexual history and their actions leading up to the rape, that's a reflection of the society that votes for that legislature. The fact that you can victim blame in a courtroom is certifiable proof that you can victim blame in society.

And finally, what utter rubbish that society doesn't victim blame. They do it all the time.

The kind of people who participate in things like SlutWalks are inherently attention-seekers. Show-offs

I lost it at this point. Get lost.

Really bad typo in the title. I really, really hope that's a typo.

Not a bad article, [but also not that great.]

The anti-prostitution rant was shitty, but otherwise the article was decent.

Isn't the officer's remark that spurned these marches a good place to start looking? He is basically said that only women have the fortitude to resist temptation/men are dogs. His mistake was internalizing vitriolic feminism and over identifying with it no?

Interesting deconstruction. I read the whole thing. Really highlights inconsistencies that I've noticed but haven't articulated before..
