Rape

Thank you, Green Bean. Much appreciated. Like I said, awesome people here.

That’s my name, not a description. I am neither purple nor a bear. Okay, so I’m purple.<a true Wally original!>

I believe I made that distinction in my original post on the subject.

Don’t put words in my mouth, thanks. I never once said it was a good excuse for rape. I never once said women enjoy being raped, nor that a woman should make the best of it if it is happening to them.

The OP specifically asked a question about women being raped being dry, and I responded to that question. I was not making any judgment calls, I was not saying women dig being raped.

Please, get a grip, people. Rape is horrible. If anyone raped a woman I knew, I would want to cut their balls off and make them eat them, right before I kill them. But in response to the question that was asked, my response was not out of line, and I did not say any of the things that I seem to be accused of saying.

Purplebear - I’m sorry for what happened to you. If you wish for me to exact the punishment I outlined above on this person, let me know. Either way, I hope you get well and realize it wasn’t your fault. It wasn’t…


Yer pal,
Satan

Satan, thank you for all of your comments. I agree with what you said earlier, I have no problem with what you said, I understood the context.
Please, everyone, this is Ruffian’s thread, let’s stick to the subject, and help her to understand the enormity of this.

I am starting to accept that it was not my fault, the rest will take time. Your words, all of you, is helping me.

<too choked up for words, purplebear quietly slips from the room, feeling more caring and love than she has in many long years>

Satan – sorry, I didn’t mean that the way it sounded. I know you didn’t mean rape victims enjoy it or that you thought they should try to enjoy it, and I didn’t intend to imply otherwise. My apologies for my wording. I considered myself to be attempting to clarify what you had said that someone else posting below you seemed to be reacting to. So much for clarification!

Purplebear–First of all, have another big bear hug from me! {{{{{{{PB}}}}}}} I greatly admire your courage. I can only imagine all the anguish behind your post, and that you were so open about such a sensitive subject speaks of your character and, well, beauty.

An aside: I did a poll in college for a social research class. One of the questions was “What punishment do you believe rapists should receive?” The overwhelming majority said castration, but a few were a little more creative: one said that at the first offense, remove one testicle. It marks him, is a solid warning to him, and is a helluvan aversion. Second offense, remove the other one. But, my favorite response was just three words: “rusty cheese graters.”

Purplebear, I’m not sure what you mean by saying I need to understand the enormity of rape. Please understand I do–my sister was raped, at age 13, under very similar circumstances as you. (It’s partly why I have never been drunk, nor had any desire to be.) My question was simply a bit of wondering, timidly asked because I feared it would bring up memories many women (and men) who read this board would prefer to forget.

God bless you, girl. Thank you for being so open with all of us–and let us know if we can beat anyone up for you. :wink:

No problem, folks…

Good luck, purplebear I know you’ll get through this, and probably be an inspiration to other women who go through with what you did.

You’re in my prayers…


Yer pal,
Satan

Yeah, Satan, but have you figured out what or who you are praying to yet? :smiley:

<sneaking back in for a peek at the latest posts to this topic, purplebear is overwhelmed and greatly humbled at all of the kindness and generosity shown her by fellow posters>

Thank you all so very much. I have no words to say what is in my heart at this caring.

Thank you for your offer to beat someone up for me, but no. He is not worth the effort.
I do rather like the images that offer brings to mind, especially Satan’s idea. And the rusty cheese graters.

Ruffian, I am deeply saddened by what your sister went through at such a young age. Hug her for me, please. I am sure you have been a huge help to her through this.

Rapists! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

First, a dull, rusty knife…

And then

The Apaches had some very interesting things they could do with anthills and wet rawhide thongs…

Some people say that cats are sneaky, evil, and cruel. True, and they have many other fine qualities as well.

Don’t forget the turpentine.

(Sorry for not adding much to the discussion, but the question has pretty much been answered.)

why not write some of the guys who did it? www.inmate.com

Ask them how they did it.
