72. It's sexist to suggest that such a contingent exists on DU.

That there are DUers just waiting to dismiss female rape and be abhorred about male rape. That's sick and it's utter bullshit.

Waiting for all those who blamed the victim in the Steubenville Rape to show up here and do the same riqster Jun 2013 #3

Because DU was absolutely overrun with those blaming the victim in the Steubenville case cali Jun 2013 #5

Looky over here: riqster Jun 2013 #9

yeah, lookie, hon. that thread backs ME not YOU cali Jun 2013 #10

So the fact that most people don't suck means that nobody does? riqster Jun 2013 #11

Arguing from false premises is so sadly common here. nt redqueen Jun 2013 #58

Oh, tell me. riqster Jun 2013 #69

Don't you find it disgusting that anyone here would blame the victim? BainsBane Jun 2013 #41

I agree. riqster Jun 2013 #70

I'm sure you can provide links to all those who blamed the Steubenville victim. EOTE Jun 2013 #12

See post 9. riqster Jun 2013 #13

Your post has no basis in reality, and it's sexist bullshit. EOTE Jun 2013 #17

No basis in reality means what it says. riqster Jun 2013 #18

Sexist bullshit. EOTE Jun 2013 #20

So, you have no cogent arguments, just rage and insults. riqster Jun 2013 #21

Yes, and you've plenty of cogent arguments for "all those" assholes cheering on the rape of women. EOTE Jun 2013 #26

So, you're saying that women are completely equal to men in all respects? riqster Jun 2013 #28

Yeah, one could say that's my view if they were utterly incapable of reading and generally not that EOTE Jun 2013 #30

Live in your bubble as you wish riqster Jun 2013 #34

That you don't realize it's sexism is pretty hilarious. EOTE Jun 2013 #35

I read the entire post as well. I found 1 with one toady supporting, out of god knows how many EOTE Jun 2013 #62

You may disagree as to what constitutes victim blaming BainsBane Jun 2013 #63

It's sexist to suggest that such a contingent exists on DU. EOTE Jun 2013 #72

You may consider it bullshit BainsBane Jun 2013 #73

No, not at all sexist to suggest that all those men are just waiting to come in express shock at EOTE Jun 2013 #75

I think it's quite likely some are women BainsBane Jun 2013 #78

I'm quite aware that women aren't my enemies. EOTE Jun 2013 #83

It wasn't a slam BainsBane Jun 2013 #104

Then why do you keep suggesting it? Scootaloo Jun 2013 #79

Yeah, I'm sure he was suggesting that loads of women would come in excusing female rape EOTE Jun 2013 #82

I am astute, yes Scootaloo Jun 2013 #84

I'm quite aware of dog whistles when I hear them. EOTE Jun 2013 #85

Again, you're the only one assuming about men, EOTE Scootaloo Jun 2013 #89

Sure, I've got one that you can quickly dismiss for some reason or another. EOTE Jun 2013 #90

I'd say it does count. Here, let me show you the difference Scootaloo Jun 2013 #94

When they suggest that they'd ALSO be horrified at male rape, you're damned right that identifies EOTE Jun 2013 #96

Only men can be horrified by male rape now? Scootaloo Jun 2013 #97

Nowhere did I suggest that. EOTE Jun 2013 #98

No, it's pointing out that some DU posters are sexist Scootaloo Jun 2013 #100

This whole outrage is in your mind BainsBane Jun 2013 #110

I find it interesting that you're arguing against nothing that rigster has actually posted Scootaloo Jun 2013 #64

Scootaloo BainsBane Jun 2013 #65

Yes, it was without a doubt an attack against men. EOTE Jun 2013 #71

Then why do I feel so thoroughly un-attacked? Scootaloo Jun 2013 #74

You're a pushover? You lack pride? EOTE Jun 2013 #76

Or perhaps - just maybe - there is no attack. Scootaloo Jun 2013 #80

Or perhaps, just maybe, you don't care? EOTE Jun 2013 #81

So far it just seems to be you, EOTE Scootaloo Jun 2013 #87

Perhaps you're having a hard time concentrating due to the rattle in your head. EOTE Jun 2013 #88

And I can forgive you for believing the hallucinations are obvious Scootaloo Jun 2013 #95
