....I'll show it to my wife tonight and she will laugh her azz off at it and will probably send it to her female friends.

Most women if they found themselves in these scenarios would laugh and tell the guy what a pathetic idiot he is and walk out....

Fluffy blankets lead to sex?? LOL

Offer to give her a massage, then tell her her shirt is getting in the way, then sneak her bra off until "bang boom she's naked."

Well good massages and spooning do often lead to forking.

Using your wife as a deflector. I will call that shit out loud and fast

3rd in her class rank of Veterinary Science Ohio State class of 1987..has her own vet practice with 16 employees. which she started from scratch.

She does not get offended over such miniscule stuff..does not go out blaming men for every perceived little infraction as some people do.. "oh woe me I am a victim"..Tough as nails cowgirl who does not take shit from anyone.

The video in question is a stupid azz video that most real men and women would laugh at.

I'm not being dismissive over rape, assault or bullying of women..by men of any age the video in question is much ado about nothing.

The "Crazy Girlfriend" videos and meme's put out by that woman are much in the same vein.. they are done in humor and men and women laugh at them.

and high school boys don't ever rape anyone.

/sarcasm

and know the family of the 16 year old girl who was raped.. my brothers two daughters, age 15 and 17 go to the school she goes to..Weirton Madonna.

I have no compassion towards rapist..

is a problem, not proof that it isn't a problem.

but most 16 year old guys would laugh at the video as being lame..

even if they laugh at it. It still normalizes it. They laugh at it for being "lame" but don't recognize it as a joke about rape.

do no take it seriously...are not that concerned as to make a big deal about it..greater things out there to worry and be concerned about.

I know what my wife's remark will be.."what a bunch of douchebags" while shaking her head and then go about her day.

They see these rape tactics and the joke isn't that they're rape tactics but that they are, as you said, "lame" rape tactics. They're not good at it - that's the joke. This still supports rape culture even if people see that it's a joke.

don't think that "jokes" that normalize rape culture are a problem?

I don't think they are joking but I honestly don't give a shit.

The point (which you, your awesome wife, and anyone else who agrees that laughing is the best response to this is failing so hard to note) is that shit like this normalizes rape culture.

There are two kinds of rape jokes. Those that illustrate how fucked up rape and rape culture are, and those that portray it as a laughing matter. Guess which one you just laughed at.

And again, whether they're even joking isn't a settled matter. You casually excused their rape tips and rape apologia by spinning it as humor, after watching one video. Interesting...

Like fitman says, it's a stupid diversion, to be ridiculed by most people with brains, attempted by a few insecure losers, and forgotten in next week's new website material. If one of my daughters was to enter this douche bags love nest, she would giggle, make a sarcastic crack as to the desperation level, then move one of the "random objects" and sit in a chair. You are diluting actual rape by lumping this in with it.

It's also an accurate example of a very popular strain of thought... a variation to be sure, an amateurish attempt to be sure, yet still an apt and accurate example of a very popular strain of thought which, in far too many circles, simply sees women as little more than a tactical objective.

And that, I believe, is the entire point of this particular thread... regardless of how others may rationalize it or derail it.

Are there those who suggest that men DON'T plan to try to get laid and talk about how, when, what, why, where, with who etc and then proceed to imply that their female partner is a slut, stupid, easy, freaky, 'I did this and she let me do that'? (Being immune from sluthood themselves)


Seriously? Is that really what's being suggested here? Because if it is, I can only



(Wipes tears of hysterical laughter)


Because that's the biggest side of bullshit since--aw shit man, it GOTS to be the all time biggest pile.

Standing up to rape culture in no way "dilutes actual rape" and how dare you say that.

I mean the term is just awesome no matter who says it, but its extra super awesome when it"s a man saying it, especially in a feminist group.

Another super great thing is when they tell is how this woman they know / are related to would agree with them, so there.

Is this is part of a trend, the video many would find ludicrous, but men who feel entitled to sexual activity just by the condition of gender, look at this kind of thing, form some kind of 'plan' to get laid, while devaluing women. I doubt your strong independent wife thinks that behavior is particularly amusing. She probably thinks they're assholes, as any reasonable woman would.

to explain to us how we wimminz are overreacting again.

It's like fucking clockwork.

without these calm, rational menz to tell us what is and is not worth worrying our pretty little heads about?
