39. "Raped too much"
Mon Feb 13, 2012, 03:37 PM
Feb 2012

Well, now.

Exactly what is "feminist" about not wanting to get "raped too much" or how about "not at all"? Do we value the lives of women so little that we don't even care about the ones that volunteered to serve our country?

Is she saying that she doesn't support our troops unless they are male and straight? And that it's expected for our male, straight troops to not have any discipline or the ability to control themselves? Because that's exactly what it sounds like to me. Some "patriotic" woman this is.

I honestly hope that we never get into a situation where our nation is invaded and those women who were "raped too much" have to defend her from getting "raped too much" or killed. You just can't help ignorance like that, and any person that would agree with her - that it's too much money to spend on our troops because they should have expected to get raped (and our soldiers should feel justified in raping) - fundamentally lacks humanity to the point where they are empty inside.

Any person that would interview her and not denounce her for making such a horrible, demeaning and disgusting remark about our troops is just as awful as she is.
