127. the flipside. a girl, young, inexperienced is raped on video. it is distriuted, seen, for male

Sat Nov 15, 2014, 11:39 AM

Nov 2014

entertainment.

she dare to declare rape, even while it sits on video, distributed for men to get off on....

she is told to die.... to her very real death.

and that.... is when these "little" threats, morph into a very real issue. surely, any man will say. that a girl, .... fuggin girl, raped, filmed, distributed for men to be entertained by, ..... was harassed to her death.

surely, men will say that is wrong.

how many steps from the littlest. this woman being told to kill herself

to many women on this board having rape fantasy threats, and DIE

to any woman who says something men do not like all over the net is threatened, out of her home

to our girl, that was raped, filmed, distributed on line for men to get off on, harassed to her death.

now. i spelled out what us "fake" feminists are yammering on about.

connected the fuggin' dots.
