'Trivializing Rape is Literally Rape, You Patriarchal Oppressors'

Feminists seek to continually expand the definition of “rape” so that it encompasses everything from nasty comments on the Internet to having consensual sex and later regretting it. One minute, they are relentlessly chiding people for using terms like “ear rape” and telling rape jokes. The next minute, they are labeling things “visual rape” and raving about how “discounting feelings” and withholding sex are forms of sexual violence.

It’s hard to imagine how one could possibly trivialize rape more than by seeking to expand the scope of what can be considered “rape” so that it includes all manner of minor infractions and meaningless nonsense.

But modern feminists are not concerned with actual rape victims, just as they are not concerned with actual rape. They know very well that western society absolutely abhors rape, regardless of what they say. Feminists spend far more time discussing frivolous silliness like “rape culture” than they do discussing actual rape because they are fully aware that practically everyone in the west already shares their view that actual rape is abhorrent, whereas most people assuredly do not share their absurd view of what constitutes “rape”.

If you want feminists to be respected in modern society, then you have to be respectable first. One way to do this would be to stop your despicable trivialization of rape and to start focusing on helping actual rape victims. Until then, you modern third-wave feminists will continue to be seen as a fringe movement with very little to offer to people who actually care about women’s rights.

The author literally gives real world examples of this feminist rape trivialization seeping into actual laws (in Ireland and NZ as stated), yet self-proclaimed true feminsts of true equality™ STILL go "unimportant fringe opinions!!1" in the articles. Holy shit

What about trivializing female teachers who sexually abuse their students? Or is that "different"?

Also, Joshua Goldberg should have mentioned that feminists seem to have no actual interest in preventing rape and go ballistic whenever someone proposes women to take preemptive action against rape like was the case with the anti-roofie nail polish.

Radical feminism is l itterally a hate movement, this is expected.

Its amazing how blind these morons are, far from bolstering their position and increasing public sympathy for rape victims, all their activism and "slut walks" and media campaigns about "rape culture" etc does is make the public actually lose sympathy or significance of the term rape

Its got to the point where i expect almost every girl to have a " rape story" yet by my definition and sense of justice i am sure they are not actual rapes.

If you keep diluting rape to include more and more bizarre and bat shit hysterical things e.g stare rape, the more and more mr and mrs average just think those that harp on about rape are whiney hysterical victim complex attention seekers.

That was a great article, and I'll be sure to show it to any one spouting anything moronic about rape culture. Thanks!

Spot on. Well done, Josh Goldberg.

Very, very well written. Josh can take over my blog COTWA if he wants.
