Reply #229: Oh for glory's sake

Why does this read to me like a "what people have to tell themselves to be able to look in the mirror" diatribe? I'd totally respond, but, since you're done with me, I won't -- except for to say two things:

a. I don't see people who work for the sex industry as truly horrible people -- I just hate what they do.

b. I never said that the Duke victim was responsible for her own rape in the sense that she "deserved it," or that because she entered a house full of 40 horny brats that she somehow invited it. They should have kept their fucking hands off her, and if they are found guilty, should face the harshest punishment the law will allow. My position is much more abstract. And, in fact, I got permission to put that post back up, once I realized that like three words in that post conveyed something other than what I meant to say. I just didn't put the post back up, because I figured it was a waste of time. BUT the reason that I pursued the mods in letting me have it back was because of this EXACT situation: that someone would accuse me of saying something other than what I meant.
