Enraging
So this isn’t a fun topic for anyone, but it’s something that needs to be talked about. Rape. It’s disgusting and horrible and possibly the worst thing I can imagine. Everything about this subject enrages me more than just about anything else, but there’s one thing in particular on my mind today. I find it appalling when people, usually men, equate rape with having s3x or even fncking. Like when they say, “Oh yeah I’d rape her,” when what they mean is “I’d fnck her.” Which is kind of sick in itself much of the time, but not anything like what it would imply if they really meant they want to rape her. By using it this way, men treat rape like a compliment, like we should all be glad if we’re considered worthy of rape.
I’m so enraged even writing this, I don’t know if I’m even making sense. But luckily there are women in the world who can think and write much more clearly about this topic. Like her. The article looks long, but she very intelligently explains just how wrong people are who think rape is anything but horrific. You should read it.
(The disguised words are so disgusting people who do think those things are equivalent don’t end up here.)

Oh, wow! I’ve never heard a guy use “rape” in that manner, but I’m sure I’d be appalled if I did!

I can’t even believe someone would actually say that….

Okay… so two people I know have been raped. If I ever meet a guy who has raped a girl I will break every bone in his body, then bust his head open like a melon with a 9 iron. I’m a very calm guy, but every time I think about this topic, I get the testosterone flowing and I want to kill some a**holes. I’m pretty sure we’re on the same page.

As someone who was once sexually assaulted, I find it deplorable that someone would use terminology like that. It’s one of those truly tasteless things to say and I hope that the person/people who say things like that are set straight about it before karma gets them.

siiick. i am pretty sure if some dude said that in my earshot i’d punch him in the face. not that i could hurt him, but maybe it’d stop him from saying it ever again.

i’ve been raped, so not a compliment in any way shape or form. it always amazes me when people say things without really thinking about what they are saying, i suppose it shouldn’t but it does … sigh
