(20,234 posts)1. DUer makes unwelcomed and offtopic sexually explicit comments to another DUer.
2. People here get pissed off.
3. DUer responds not with an apology, but instead by running around to different threads posting offensive words until he gets banned.
4. People aligned on different sides of the banning. You know that deal with the Joe Paterno statue being removed from Penn State, and some people being offended by the removal of it? It was like that, but on a miniscale. (harassment, not rape, banning from a website, not jail time.
5. Discussion ensues about rape culture and to what degree acceptance of harassment encourages a rape culture - and also whether rape culture exists.
6. Another DUer steps forward to say yes, it exists, and I know because was guilty of raping drunk women when I was younger, and among my group we didn't acknowledge it was rape.
Now we have people refusing to acknowledge that it is culturally acceptable in some circles (frat boys in that case) to "take advantage of" (i.e. rape) drunk women, others refusing to acknowledge that "taking advantage of" a drunk woman is rape if she's coherent enough to talk, people offended at the idea that we need to work to change the culture instead of focusing all efforts on self-defense techniques for women.
I'm sure I left out a lot.
