(15,805 posts)they are ruled by their penis? They are the unfortunate victims of their own uncontrolable, animalistic lust and therefore not responsible for any rapes, sexual assaults or harassment that they might be charged with. Oh, boo-hoo!
Grow the fuck up guys! If you're old enough to have discovered your dick has other uses besides peeing, then you are responsible for keeping it leashed. You own the damned thing, it isn't some sort of an alien creature with a mind of its own driving you to commit violent crimes.
Women are not your mommies, nannies or your moral conscience. If you rape, the onus is on you alone. You are the perpetrator, the criminal defendent, the convicted felon who will be doing hard time.
P.S. to be fair, your dick will go to prison with you.

(15,805 posts)we will never hear any man admit that he likes raping women because it makes him feel giddy with power. Instead they invent all kinds of pathetic excuses and resort to victim blaming to avoid taking responsibility for their actions. They are never at fault, it's always someone else that "made" their bad penis rise up and commit a crime, but not them personally.
