Yeah, I couldn’t believe that one. She just blows off young women getting raped with her breezy comment dismissing rape culture. nearwildheaven hasn’t ever been on my radar, but all if a sudden tonight, what the ever-loving fuck??
You just haven’t been paying attention. Which is probably for the best.
When I was in college (and I’m going to mention their races because it’s relevant to the discussion), a black girl wanted to date a black football player, and when he turned her down AGAIN, she went to the ER and said that he and 3 white football players (whom she refused to name) had raped her. :mad: The exam revealed that not only was she not raped, she was a virgin! Usually, you can’t tell, but in this case, they could.
He was taken in for questioning until all the results came back, and he was very distrustful of women for quite some time, as one could imagine.
Several years ago, I worked with a woman whose (now ex-) husband worked at the local alternative high school, and she claimed that he was cheating on her with at least one of his students. I say “worked” and not “taught” because this was not a school where any learning took place; it was simply a place to warehouse the worst of the worst kids until the law said they didn’t have to go to school any more. :rolleyes:
Can’t recall where I read this, but I read an account a while back from a woman who did this too, and she couldn’t get over the number of women who said they had been raped 10, 20, or even more times. :eek: She asked the center’s coordinator, “What are these women DOING to experience thing again and again?” and the coordinator explained to her about sexual abuse, high risk behavior, etc. and that some people (not just women) unconscious put themselves in situation where they will be victimized, often because they feel they deserve it or just don’t know any better.
Not to single out the blacks, or women who cry ‘rape’ though, she also doesn’t like all these autistic kids having big birthday parties like the kind she was never invited to just so they can get a bunch of presents and attention and fun and stuff.
I swear, I hear at least one of these stories a week. I’m starting to think that some parents (OK, mothers) of kids with autism, or other special needs, are setting this up so they can get a free party and a gift grab for their kid, and some sympathetic TV coverage too. And it’s always the police who show up, and often pay for the parties out of their own pockets. The latest one from my area involved renting an entire paintball facility for the child, his family, and the police and their families.
(Lest anyone here think I don’t know anything about this, I was often that one child who wasn’t invited to this or that event, and I was told that parents tell their kids that they can invite everyone on the list, minus one. :rolleyes: Imagine how I felt when I found out that isn’t generally true.)
