Okay, so now the banning of the word rape at rape trials is a *trend*?

EW.

It is no longer necessary to ask whether fascism is coming back in this country.

1. Didn't you know, only innocent virgins are raped....?

Anyone that's engaged in any sexual activity is a promiscuous slut, and asking for it. :eyes:

:sarcasm:


(pretty depressing isn't it? especially when you realize they usually find a way to vilify virgins, too. afterall, they are still women and capable of seducing their perpertrators. :eyes: again. sigh)

2. They want rape to be about sex

Plain and simple. They don't want it to be a heinously violent act that uses sexuality for violent expression and catastrophic harm.

They want their girls gone wild and liking it. Really. I have no other answer for this bullshit, none at all. Patriarchy and rape culture at it's finest.

3. Exactly. If they can force rape survivors to say it was sex

then they've already won, and made it impossible for any man to be convicted of rape. x(

In what other crime can the victim be prohibited from naming the crime or describing it? We need some serious backlash to drive these nuts off the bench and some real equal justice into the courtroom.

I read this at work and I was raging. I work with all men, and I don't think they understand why I was so damned infuriated. I don't understand why everyone isn't furious.
