I know I'm a little late to the dinner table over this particular feast but I saw this list - that originates at the none-more-feminist blog 'Eve Bit First' - entitled 'A Man Is A Rape Supporter If...' . Which then of course goes on to list just about every position a man could have on, well, just about anything. It's a long, exhaustive list, but includes all the following.
A man is a rape supporter, you'll be moist to know, if:
- He defends the current legal definition of rape and/or opposes making consent a defense.
- He has accused a rape 'victim' of having “buyer’s remorse” or wanting to get money from the man.
- He has ever revealed he conceives of sex as fundamentally transactional.
- He has gone to a strip club.
- He frames discussions of pornography in terms of “freedom of speech.”
- He characterizes prostitution as a “legitimate” “job” “choice” or defends men who purchase prostitutes.
- He watches pornography in which women are depicted.
- He watches any pornography in which sexual acts are depicted as a struggle for power or domination, regardless of whether women are present.
- He characterizes the self-sexualizing behavior of some women, such as wearing make-up or high heels, as evidence of women’s desire to “get” a man.
- He describes female anatomy in terms of penetration, or uses terms referencing the supposed “emptiness” of female anatomy when describing women.
- He promotes the idea that women as a class are happier or more fulfilled if they have children, or that they “should” have children.
- He argues that people (or just “men”) have sexual “needs.”
- He defends these actions by saying that some women also engage in them.
She ends the list by asking, "how many women reading this know at least one male over the age of 18 who does not fit this list. Anybody?"
And that's the point, of course: All Men Are Rapists. Or at least - in this instance - rape 'supporters', whatever that means (have you ever met anyone who said to you "Yes! I wholeheartedly support the implementation of rape on a societal level, that's exactly what this country needs. Rape is The Solution! Absolutely! Sign me up for that!"?)
What is the aim of these psychotic nazi hellbeasts? Don't they realize by calling upon such a horrific term & applying it in such hysterical & inappropriate ways, so often, all that will happen is that we, as a society, will become inured to it? It will cease to shock us. And we will all cease to care.
If the definition of rape is widened to include so many natural male/female interactions that it becomes meaningless, real rape accusations will cease to be taken seriously or believed. Societal abhorrence of rape will lessen & incidents of real rape will rise. All because some beserk & overwrought middle class white girls who know nothing about life & are troubled by their bodies got brainwashed at university by a hate cult.
There is no better example than this article of why feminism is not now, & never has been, about equality. The fact that the other NAWALT* feminists are not up in arms against this madness & denouncing it from the highest rooftops for the genocidal madness it is shows you why the egalitarian claims of feminism mean nothing. It's a hate movement. Simple as that. Always has been. Always will be.
I don't usually like the shouty Angry Atheist youtube man but on this occasion - his analysis of said list - he's spot on, & says pretty much everything that needs to be said about it. This is a Bill Hicks level righteous indignation joy, so savour:
(* "Not All Women Are Like That")
I saw that list back in the day. I cant wash it off my mind yet.
ReplyDeleteIt's like I would like to argue and understand her point, but I know there's no point on doing so.
If you gender reverse that list, every woman is pro rape too.
Yes. Hopefully there'd be less of it then.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how many feminists are rape victims, and how many have PTSD.
ReplyDeleteBecause this all makes sense if you see this in light of someone with PTSD. To someone with PTSD, who developed it from being raped, every man is a rapist or potential rapist. It's horrifying.
Yep, that would be my take on it too. The problem is in their projecting that very very limited reality onto the greater world & all the lives taking place within that, their making the personal political: i.e my daddy raped me > daddy was a man = All Men Are Rapists.
ReplyDeleteI think it does become political, though, when you take into account the number of rapists that get away with it. But you are right in that saying all men are rapists is insane.
ReplyDeleteI mean, just reading this list is crazy. I know girls that could be categorized as rapists.
Then shouldn't we also call those feminists who go fuck non-feminist men because they complain that the feminist men aren't attractive--shouldn't we be calling these women rape supporters as well?
ReplyDeleteI don't see what the big deal about this article is. It's completely true. It was just stated badly. If it was restated you would all support it. It's just saying that lustiness can lead to rape. Nothing wrong with that.
ReplyDeleteHi Ken,I'm unclear whether you're referring to this post or the EveBitFirst one. If it's my one then thanks for the kind words, flowers & support. If it's the article I'm quoting from then I think you've missed its point a bit. It's true that lustiness can lead to rape, & presumably that's how most rapes happen, but that's not what the article is saying.
ReplyDeleteAmen! I'm a woman and I find the list dumbfounding. I'm, at the moment, too stunned by the drivel on that list to be insulted by it, but I'm sure after my brain gets itself around this I'll be infuriated. Hell, I've been to a strip club, I've watched tons of porn with women in them...so if I had been born with a penis I'd be a rape supporter too? An accident of birth has stopped me from supporting rape? Because I sure as hell know I don't support rape. There are a few things on that list, as you said, that are within the realms of reasonability, but those very few points are lost in the quagmire of anti-masculine propaganda. Sure, there are bad dudes out there, there are bad chicks out there...but there are also good dudes and chicks out there.
