In the case of two alleged instances of rape at O'Dowd's in Zona Rosa I think the only thing anyone can say for certain is that liquor was involved. Other than that I never believe anything that people say when they account for their time directly following a night of drinking.
So-called "date rape" is such a tricky subject because I wouldn't want to make fun a victim of a crime but I also believe the term "date rape" is nothing more than feminist propaganda. There is rape and there is consensual sex. It's hard for me to see a middle ground that necessitates the need for another term.
Anyway, for the most part I rarely take claims of date rape seriously because there is almost never any evidence of it. Commit a murder, there's a body. Jump out of the bushes and rape someone, there's DNA. But in the case of date rape there are always two sides of the story that both sound as trite as a made for school special. And don't pull the CSI crap out of your filthy underpants. Vaginal tearing (natch) is standard for any drunken sexcapade you might incur. Bruises? I believe some folks call them love marks. And almost anything short of a black eye might also be interpreted as a really good time. And I'm being generous about the black eye; you'd be amazed what a bedpost can do.
So, rather than speculate any further on what constitutes date rape I'll simply concede to that hot piece of ass Andrea Dworkin and admit that pretty much all heterosexual sex is tantamount to rape . . . But only if the opposition notes that women are probably better off in burkas.
I don't think it's exactly proper to refer to it as "so-called 'date rape'" as the reason it's actually called "date rape" is because it happens to people (usually women, I'd think) when they are on a date. With a person they might actually know and trust. Until the rape occurs, that is.
ReplyDeleteI've been "date raped," and I'd never even consider questioning that label since what happened to me was non-consentual sex while I was on a date with a boy that I had been seeing for about 2 weeks. We were both sober, since we were only 18 at the time and I wasn't all that into underaged drunkenness until I left for college, which was about a month after the "so-called 'date rape'" took place. And I can honestly say that there was no confusion involved. I figured out what he was up to, I asked him to stop, he didn't stop, hence the raping.
Rape isn't funny, man. No matter how you try to skew it.
It sounds like someone needs to "date raped" again.
ReplyDeleteParty like you want it.
Sounds like someone needs to grow a pair and put their name to hideous comments instead of hiding behind an anonymous tag...you big pussy.
ReplyDeleteYes Anonymous is the bad guy and the fat girl who gives her whole fucking life story in the comments section of a blog is a victim. The Democrats must have won big because the victim mentality is even more pervasive.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous commenters are cowards and women are never 'raped' but sometimes they have sex with someone other than their choice.
ReplyDeleteLike if a woman is crushing on Michael McDreamy and wants to give him anal, but I have sex with her I would say that I was impersonating Mr. McDreamy.
The courts would reject me, but deep inside that womans' mind she would be wondering if McDreamy were as good as me.

ReplyDeleteSorry...for a minute there, I almost forgot one of my main rules of dealing with assholes on the internet. "Do not feed the trolls."
ReplyDeleteWait a minute...I take that back.
Basically, I don't see anything wrong with my original comment. It's called "relevance." Perhaps anonymous people don't have extensive enough vocabularies to grasp such a concept. I WAS a victim, jerk. The man that raped me was twice my size, and had me pinned on a table. I was 18, and back then I wasn't as large or as strong or as brazen as I am now. I was 135 pounds (5'4" tall), confused, and alarmed about what was occuring. Regardless of the situation, if someone asks you to stop doing something, YOU SHOULD STOP DOING IT.
Maybe the only way you ever get laid is to rape a woman, and that's why you would defend/condone such an activity. Fucktard.
