Hope you have a genie to make that come true…

Loved this post, but now he’s turned it into something completely else with his comment. I wonder if he is just plain ignorant, or if this is some very bad-taste trolling effort to drive traffic. Either way he needs to get a clue.

Go choke on cyanide you victim blaming piece of shit.
It’d do the rest of the world a favor.

WHAT THE FUCK!? I don’t care if you do drugs, sleep around, dance naked in the streets, wear boob tubes and daisy dukes, enjoy being consensually slapped/choked/pissed on/beaten/degraded — NONE of these things give anyone the right to touch you against your will, NONE of these things invite rape or assault, and NONE of these send the “wrong message,” which I assume you take to mean “Please assault me.”

Once you’ve stated your boundaries about where you’d like to be touched or how you’d like to be spoken to– every violation of those boundaries is assault. No matter how drunk you are, how many pictures you post of yourself online, how much makeup you’re wearing, or how you like to get fucked or whether you stick plastic toys up your genitals or not.

Enjoying rough sex is not any sort of excuse or justification for sexual assault. Rough sex requires a lot of communaicatin about boundaries, trust, and sensitivity, and comparing it to the kind of assault that Britni dealt with is completely unjustified and inappropriate. And you can’t tell what someone likes to do in the bedroom by looking at them, necessarily.

Okay, with my logical reply over, I’d kindly request that you drink a tall glas of Die In A Fire, followed with an antifreeze chaser.

I’m going to say to you what I say to all victim-blaming assholes:

Go. Drink. Antifreeze.

Maybe it’ll wash the taste of misogynist bullshit out of your mouth.

Also, I’m going to agree with Melissa McEwan here and say, “And just like how people who speak Arabic are better translators of Arabic than people who don’t, people who have immersed themselves in the critical theories of gender are better translators of what is and is not sexism. Identifying and defining sexism is not–as “sexism is a matter of opinion” suggests–a speculative chore. There is an existing framework for recognizing and characterizing expressed sexism—and those who have made it their business to become fluent in it are the closest thing to objective experts as exist in any discipline.”

Talking out of his butt and then expecting people who have actually read and studied this stuff just to roll over and go, “OMG HE’S RIGHT!!!!!” is really sad.

Does he have some studies to back that up? Does his argument take place in an existing framework of actual ideas and facts, not crap he just made up? No? Then his opinion is actually not valid. Like if he tried to tell me that the play Hamlet was about when his dog died when he was twelve. That’s not a valid opinion. All FEELINGS may be valid, but all opinions distinctly are not.
