Gavin McInnes is disturbed. I'm not surprised sufrommich Jun 2014 #2

of his buddy Terry - throwing accusations and insults at feminists (and just plain decent people) like they're the problem.

more rational or something, even when they're screaming at the top of their lungs.

"for every girl who didn’t want to make a “big deal” about what happened to you when you were 12, 23, or ever, ..."

Can you imagine if we all told about our experiences. How many volumes would it fill? How much time would it take to say it all?

willing - if only to give future humans insight into 20th/21st-century society. Sort of like how people today use the narratives of soldiers in wartime, or slaves in Antebellum America, for the purpose of historical knowledge.

who use that old tired meme that "feminists believe all men are rapists",that is not what feminists believe.It's very simple,girls and women have no way of knowing who will assault them and who won't,it's that simple. I have a feeling there isn't a woman alive who does not know another female victim of sexual assault or been one themselves,it's that common.

"Two serious rape attempts", that do not include the time I nearly jumped out of a moving car, because the (all) guys said 'why don't you give all us some p****, or the time I ran out of the back door of a bar running from a creep, or the times cars with some jerk would follow me walking, attempting to coerce me in, so in one instance I nearly got hit by a car running across the street. Or the time this guy shows up drunk off his ass and naked at my house, that one was kind of funny. He was to drunk to do anything, I just shoved him out. My kids remember that incident. Nice, right?

The "serious attempts"-- one involved a gun and one involved a busted face. I fought. I've never been raped. Not because I fought or ran, but because I was lucky.

Yeah we got stories.
