Subject: People of the UK are insane
Ok so people who know me know I consider myself to be a feminist, and if you know the meaning of the word and think that women are equal to men you should also consider yourself a feminist too (male or female), though you probably don't because you think that everything is hunky dory for women now and there is no need to make a big deal of it. Well there is. And this is just one of the reasons why:

It was in the metro this morning! *sings* "On a cold and grey Chicago morning another little baby child is born - in the metro ..."
Shocking. Castrate the fuckers that's what I say ...

I think these people that are prepared to blame the female victim of a rape are probably as equally likely to blame the male victim of rape. Some people aren't even able to believe that men CAN be raped, so if they think the clothes you wear and the amount you drink makes you responsible, then what must they think of men who have been raped?
To be clear, I'm not disgareeing with you, just offering a different perspective. :)

Well if you read the reply posted below the orginial link it highlights that it is not just people's view of women that is shocking, but their view of men ie that they cannot control themselves and hence it is not really their own fault if they rape someone because it is in their nature to act that way given the right signals.
Very scary and very wrong.

An elderly woman once came into the shop I worked at and spied a poster of a wanted rapist we had up. He was wanted for at about 6 offences. The woman and her elderly friend looked at the poster then at me and said 'OOOO I bet it makes you ashamed to be a man doesn't it?'
No it fucking doesn't.
The only thing I can think of that would be worse than being raped is being made to feel like it was your fault. These cats need to be dealt with but I aint got association with em just cause I'm the same sex.
Not saying that was what Charlotte was saying either.
I like women, A LOT! Am I a femanist?

There's a real treat for you here Charlotte, although I haven't got passed the balloon level and I've killed a lot of deer :(

I have actaully played this game before.
Though I would like to point out that I like boys. I am even engaged to one. Though at the moment he spends more time with his truck than with me :(

It's true. When I met you, you didn't throw rocks at me once.
As to whether women normally throw rocks at me, I can only say 'no comment'.
It's hard to compete with a truck. Especially in the 'load-bearing over distance' category.
