I took issue with his article, but vandalism is a poor way to express disapproval.

The passage that is irking the most people is this:

Let’s get this straight: any woman who heads to an EI party as an anonymous onlooker, drinks five cups of the jungle juice, and walks back to a boy’s room with him is indicating that she wants sex, OK?

This is simply because it seemingly condones date rape. His assertion is faulty because he assumes the woman wants sex. She might want everything but sex. Sex is an issue because of pregnancy, STDs, etc. so doing it is a bigger risk, and one she might not want to take.

I do agree with him here:

To cry “date rape” after you sober up the next morning and regret the incident is the equivalent of pulling a gun to someone’s head and then later claiming that you didn’t ever actually intend to pull the trigger.

Regretting something the morning after is not an excuse to go cry date rape. You should take responsibility for your actions.

The other passages which angered people was when he called LGBT people "a sniveling bunch of emotional cripples" and when he took a negative view towards feminism. He seems to be referring to an outdated view of second wave feminism rather than the more fluid third wave version we have today.

I'm not condoning the vandalism, but Knepper is an obnoxious twit.

I was over at the website. You know, I am ever so weary of debating self-righteous 20-somethings whose brains aren't fully developed but who know EVERYTHING. They "know" for a "fact" that the young man condoned rape. That view, of course, blinks at the fact that the vast majority of people with fully developed brains would say that the scenario he describes is not rape -- not because the women were "asking" for it, and not because they "deserved" it, but because in all likelihood, the facts he posits evince a factually consensual sexual encounter. Period.

That crowd is intent on out-braying one another to prove their credentials in the adoration of oppressed females club. Trying to talk to that crowd is one of life's singular wastes of time.

Feminist thread on the issue

It is all about free speech and fuck any feminist who refuses to understand that.

When you are too stupid to make a logical argument against a comment in the paper....just vandalize the paper.

Conservative feminism is a bitch.

He should try getting raped sometime.

Let’s get this straight: any woman who heads to an EI party as an anonymous onlooker, drinks five cups of the jungle juice, and walks back to a boy’s room with him is indicating that she wants sex, OK? To cry “date rape” after you sober up the next morning and regret the incident is the equivalent of pulling a gun to someone’s head and then later claiming that you didn’t ever actually intend to pull the trigger.

He's not gonna say this if some dude partied with him, got him drunk/stoned, then invited him up to his room and assraped him.

Original column: http://www.theeagleonline.com/opinion/story/dealing-with-aus-anti-sex-brigade/

People don't like to be confronted with truths that don't conform to their world views and hence the vile reaction by so many. I don't think what he wrote can be considered to be the writing of a "rape apologist".

This is another perfect example of the kinds of things Feminists will do to maintain their monopoly on violence. Since it's a very powerful tool, they'll go insane and pull such a stunt to both intimidate the dissident and assert their power. Type-A personality through social pressures; to be recognized as a feminist you must act like one.

Edit: Looks like /2X is leaking again, and proving my point at the same time.
