Arcus commented on greyfoot's blog post 'Rape Culture?'"What irks me is that men raping women is illegal and harshly penalized, both in terms of jail time and social ostracization. If someone I knew was a rapist I would never speak to that person again and cheer if some horrible fate befell him. I think…"
"June,
Of course I agree completely about the complexity of the disparity between our genders. Would that more people looked at it in such an even-tempered way. I can only roll my eyes everytime I hear "men are sex-crazed pigs" and…"
June commented on greyfoot's blog post 'Rape Culture?'"" Most pedophiles, I believe, rape children because children are easier to rape than adults. The tabloid hysteria over pedophiles, which turns them into boogeymen, does nothing to combat this second, more pernicious form of pedophilia--in…"

I had something to say but since everyone is supposed to "disregard" it, I won't bother.
Thank you."
Unseen commented on greyfoot's blog post 'Rape Culture?'"violent crime, period, gets treated less harshly than drug offenses and more-or-less "white collar" crimes (counterfeit, laundering, embezzlement, etc).
Look at the huge fines and prison time someone is potentially exposed to by torrenting…"
"I'm welcoming and delighted at ALL the comments, of course, whether I agree or disagree, but Erin's comment is what I was hoping to attract. I want dissenting perspectives, especially from females. She does raise a poignant question:…"

Arcus commented on greyfoot's blog post 'Rape Culture?'"That Savile went from national treasure to being the most hated man in the immediate aftermath of the revelations should blow the hypothesis of a widespread "rape culture" clear out of the water. I haven't followed the Savile story…"
Ward Cressin commented on greyfoot's blog post 'Rape Culture?'"My take on the "rape culture" idea is that it is more of a subculture. We are transitioning from a society where women were de facto property of their husbands and that the weak must submit to the strong – ideas often courtesy…"

lol. You will know them by their rulings ;-)

Erin commented on greyfoot's blog post 'Rape Culture?'"I found the blog very tough to read and follow, as well. This Jerry Savile character is one I'm not familiar with, having just heard of him recently on some late night talk show. I think I might have something to add, but I was hoping you could…"
Strega commented on greyfoot's blog post 'Rape Culture?'"Yes, you are a perfectionists worst nightmare, grey!
I actually prefer this format because new posts don't turn up all over the place and I know where I got up to on my last sweep. But I know other posters can cope with…"
"Unseen,
1) Very good points you make.
2) You're absolutely right about the blog--I was wondering why there was no reply button. I very rarely deal with forums anymore, so I'm not that knowledgeable. My mistake. I'll be mindful of that…"
Unseen commented on greyfoot's blog post 'Rape Culture?'"1) Please use the Forums rather than a blog. In a forum, one can hit Reply and Edit if one notices a mistake in that reply.

I'd like to get people's thoughts on this blog post: http://wrongquestions.blogspot.com/2012/10/your-daily-dose-of-rape-culture.html#comment-form
Please disregard the comments following the post--as is so often the case, the discussion there becomes a pissing match, and therefore irrelevant. I just want to know what people think about the initial subject. Does Western culture…
