In reply to the discussion: Preacher Who Claims Women In Yoga Pants ‘Deserve Rape’ Arrested For Kicking One [View all]mythology
(9,527 posts)40. Just because one can't find a willing partner, doesn't have to make one bitter
Partially because unless a woman more or less literally uses a 2x4 upside my head I don't notice if she's interested, but partially because the better parts of my personality take time to come out to be interesting to people in general much less for an intimate relationship, but it would never occur to me to say a woman "deserves" to be raped. Even when I was a pissed off, the world can bite me angry young man I never felt that way.
It's not an excuse to suggest women deserve to be raped.
I don't think you were suggesting it was a valid reason to have such idiotic beliefs, but as somebody who maybe could have gone in that direction, it's really not an excuse to even be making the comments.
