3. Calling all men rapists isn't just sexist, it's insane.

8. Copycats are supposed to be mildly amusing, though.

11. The original thread is not at all amusing.
Sorry if my response to it is in poor taste. I got a hair up my ass about it, apparently.

21. Well, thank you for that much, anyway.
I have requested that my thread be locked. It wasn't my intention to offend even more.

23. You didn't offend anyone. I think people were just confused.
Usually a copycat isn't a touchy subject in itself.

24. In hindsight, I can see why it was confusing, and even offensive.
All is well now.

9. Using rape to prove a point is insulting to rape victims and generally just low.
Please consider acquiring some decency, if not actual manners.

17. I Don't Think It Was Meant That Way
As a rape victim, I was not offended.

18. Not a good argument with me. I AM a rape survivor.
And please take note that most of us are rape SURVIVORS, and not rape VICTIMS.

22. Yeah I shoudn't have said that
Survivor not victim. But sometimes when I can't stand to see myself in the mirror cuz all I can see are the scars on my chest and stomach where he sliced me up, it's hard to think that way.

But I should not have phrased it that way.

26. Well I'm the only survivor
He was hanged in Singapore. We only hope he raped, killed and then dismembered them in that order. But it's still tough. Reliving it in my sleep, the survivor guilt. Why me? Why did I live and those other young men did not? It does not feel good.

Sorry, takes time and I don't know if I can ever.feel OK about this.

29. OMG! What a horrible thing to go through!
And I can understand the "survivors guilt" too.

Something that traumatic may always be a part of you, However it doesn't have to consume or define you. I am glad that you survived.

:hug:

30. What makes it worse....
I never went to the police.

I had to walk past where it happened to get the bus to work. And one day there was a human foot on the sidewalk and the cops were dragging body parts out of a dumpster. And I stood there watching and thinking "I know who did this. And it's my fault. If only I had said something, done something!"

They never found out who he was. And I think of his family - never knowing what happened to their son, brother, loved one. And I feel complicit - If I had only said something, done something maybe it wouldn't have happened. So I feel guilty for his death. I don't know if anything I did would have changed things, but I don't know it wouldn't have either.


Khash.

The opposite of bitch could be prick, but there is no opposite to rapist.

13. It's not, we are
Makes me sick, but sometimes I hate men. And I am a man and gay - but we can be evil. It's not sexist, it's just the truth.

15. I apologize for offending. I will ask for this thread to be locked.
It wasn't my intention to offend, but only to point out how offensive and obnoxious a similar thread was.

My sincere apologies.
