I hate this term. I cannot take those who use the term seriously.


I agree with you. I would hate the culture named "Let's cut off the penises of all short fat guys culture" or "If he speaks with a Hungarian accent, let's hang him by the balls Culture".

Some people are just so bloody ignorant.

We just need a clean world free from people with those kinds of thoughts intentions and doings. we need a world where women are treated with a lot of respect and that they are free to do anything they wish. we need a new age of enlightenment if we want women and society to progress together


I can't but agree with you. Any person who says women need a lot of respect is right.

Because "a lot of respect" could be any sign of respect, or any lack of sign of respect. In a culture where women are tied to a pole every night and pissed on, and then fed some cow manure, in that culture feeding them live chicken hearts would be an act of showing "a lot of respect".

CAREFUL!! I am not advocating the behavour I detailed above. Not at all. I am just trying to point out through a ridiculous yet still valid example that "a lot of respect" could mean anything. Anything whatsoever.

You can say five apples, you can say ten miles, you can say five billion people; but you can't say "ten units of respect" or "he has five respect units for his daughter and seventeen to for his niece."

In other words, "giving a lot of respect" is always a true expression, but unfortunately it is completely void of meaning or of a description of a morally allotted behaviour form.

--------------

I know what you mean, but still.

--------------

Another thing is I do not want to live in a world where women can do whatever they want.

Because, what if a woman wants to exterminate all Jews? If we listened to you, I'd be toast.

Or what if a woman wants to burn down the White House, and erect a Yellow House or Black House? Can't be too good, yet you say that should be a go.

--------------

Earlier it was sorta clear what you meant to say with a "lot" of respect that must be given to women; but to allow any woman to do anything she wants is a very unpractical idea to implement. This is not only "maybe" a wrong idea, it is an awful idea.

If you say, "yeah, but you gotta admit you know what I mean", then I reply, no, I don't know what you mean. If what you mean is different from what you wrote. You must write what you mean, and mean what you write, that's the best way to do things on internet forums, I found.

I think a rapist should be inprisoned not killed or shot on sight. I also think that statutory isnt as severe depending on the circumstances. So lets just say for instance, man breaks in home, violent rape, no permanent damage. He should be sentenced to a minimum of ten years in federal prison. He would experience his own crime ten times over, being that even inmates hate rapists, they are the lowest form of scum. I think they should be housed in what I think they call general public of the prison, because rapists and petifiles are seperated due to how violent other inmates are, specifically to them. I also think that if a 20 year old man can prove that the 15 year old female gave consent that they BOTH should be punished, she agreed to committing a crime. There are different degrees of this horrible crime, and each case should be examined independantly.I also dont think its fair that statutory rapists should be required to register their address for the rest of their lives. I had three friends in high school get accused of statutory and they are ****ed for the rest of their lives, all because on their 18th birthday they slept with underage girlfriends. The young women they dated slept with them on their birthdays and its a crime. About the term "rape culture", wtf people. Rape is not a culture, its a disease to some, a crime to most, and a horrible experience for the ones on the wrong side. And thats my thoughts.

You guys are wasting a lot of time.

She ain't talking about rape like a woman getting laid....

Apparently she is talking about a culture being raped.

Not sure how it can be done....but, I'll give it a shot.

You are more than that honey.......

In fact.....never thought of you that way.

To me, you are a smart and funny, kind souled woman.

You had no control.

My Mom bailed out when I was 6 months old.

I had no control

In the end, we are all imperfect people trying our hardest to have a good life.

Chin up trooper.

Urban Dictionary definition:
Shaming victims of rape, making women feel bad for having consensual sex, making fun and trivializing rape and not embracing sex positivity so the unfortunate victims of rape who want to put their rapist behind bars will have fear that they will be blamed.

Maybe if you lived in one of several African countries or parts of the middle east you might think differently about the term.

I hear it's not rape if the gal doesn't have 4 witnesses.

I looked it up. It appears to be a feminist distortion of American culture. Rape exists, as an accepted culture it does not exist here.

Arguing about the validity of the phrase “rape culture” seems like an ostrich approach to what is truly a world-wide issue. Almost 20% women in Darfur have been victims of this; but that is just the cases that are reported. You see, in their culture, a woman must have 4 witnesses to charge a man (or men in a lot of cases) otherwise she herself may be charged with a crime such as adultery, or unlawful pregnancy, should she become pregnant as a result.

The same story goes for the women in the Congo. Rape has become a way of life for them as well.



That law is outrageous!!! Yet many people in North American can freely call or walk into a police station to report rape (or ANYTHING) and they don't do it. The same people who "understand" why people don't report their rapes get uptight about people who do not vote saying "People/women in OTHER countries can't or couldn't vote. You should do it since you can!!!" People are such ****ing hypocrites!!!!!

What is hypocritical about either position?...People are entitled to their opinion(s) just as they are entitled to choose the things they care or don't care about...Would it be a bit hypocritical for you to feel it is your right decide what others should or should not care about?...
