rape culture
Jan. 27th, 2014 05:15 pmWhile writing to a friend about some stupid attitudes on line (and in meatspace) I suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
You know all those folks who say "she was acting like a slut" or "dressed like a slut"? The ones who are essentially saying "because of the way she acted/dressed I couldn't help myself?"
Well, upon reflection, I think that any guy who can manage to refrain from jacking off in public should be able to restrain himself from raping someone.
Either way, it's giving in to an impulse for sex. So why can they not do one, but claim that they can't control themselves for the other?
