“Not being reported doesn’t mean date rapes are not being committed.
It’s the collective thinking of the Heather McDonalds in our society that may in fact be part of the reason why date rapes do not get reported.”
ha! of course there are more rapes, date- or not. how could there not be if there is more opportunity for one to be committed? thus the problem with the “no such thing a slut!” rallying cry of incoherent brats like Jackson. if a girl changes her mind 5 seconds before the act and communicates it, it is rape. but only a fool would recognize that a little more forethought would deliver many potential rape victims from this sudden, and less sudden, turnabouts.
What exactly is the resistance to this idea that women ought to be chaste? Ought not men be chaste? It’s not as though there’s some village synod waiting to put you in the stockades if the evil pastor accuses you of sluttiness. This is what I don’t get: it’s obvious to any guy that girls’ behavior is much freer, and there is no social consequence for it at all. None – except these illusory ones that can be attributed to “society,” and then become a rhetorical weapon against anyone who try to “control” you.
And yet, public oppobrium has its utility. Rather like drug illegality: do you really think there aren’t plenty of people who don’t even entertain the thought of taking heroin because they are afraid they’ll get into trouble? Do you doubt that heroin has a specific biological effect on the human body, apart from however society characterizes its use? You *will* become addicted to it, and that *will* have certain well-understood effects on you, even if everyone around you is saying “thatta girl!” and Sam Waterson is selling it on tv. Why is it supposed that sexual behavior has no other component other than what “they” think about it? And who are all these weak-minded people whose inner lives are controlled by these things as if there was a Gestapo thought enforcement bureau around every corner?
And besides, what difference does it make? The odds that your current girlfriend or wife, if she’s attractive and came of age in the 90s-2000s, has slept with a few dozen guys is very, very high. Is that not slutty enough for you? How many would you like, 150? 1500?
Either you people are liars, or you’re just pathetic. For God’s sake, shut up. Heather McDonald isn’t insightful, she’s just saying what is blindingly obvious.
