(1,173 posts)I don't know where the hell some of you are living, but I suggest it's not very civilized if you're hearing so many rapists tell you of their crimes or joking about them. That you don't believe that I've never heard a man joke about rape or tell me of his rape conquests is neither here nor there, as you can't prove that I did and I can't prove that I didn't. But not having raped anyone or having been friends with a rapist is hardly what I'd call "squeaky clean" inasmuch as it'd simply be what many call "normal."
The odd part, though, is that many of you seem so focused on me personally instead of the stereotyping done in the OP. That amazes me. I mean, it's not the worst offense ever, and no one is advocating that the OP be somehow punished for it. But that you all endorse such ignorant ideas which stereotype an entire gender as being "less educated" inasmuch as it requires "lessons" is - in no uncertain terms - wildly hypocritical and ridiculous.
It reminds me of how when women would complain about disparate treatment in the workforce that male bosses would then say she only complained because "females are emotional." In other words, rather than dealing with the problem, they blamed the victim. I wouldn't say I'm a "victim" here, but it's interesting that on the one hand you condemn stereotypes whereas on the other hand they're not so bad. Odd behavior for a progressive.
