In reply to the discussion: Purity Culture Is Rape Culture [View all]Why Syzygy
(18,928 posts)The writer does indicate it as "satire".
Caveats begin here. Read before posting.
1. For those of you who didnt figure it out earlier, this is satire. However, just because it is satire, does not mean its intended to be funny.
2. I recognize this is going to be offensive to many people, for many different reasons. I felt the point I wanted to make was best made this way. I accept that there will be criticism.
Even so, it's honest and representative of reality. The comments indicate that many still don't get it. They are still arguing for the right of men to control a woman's body.
I wonder about men who defend rapists. Is it because they can't bring themselves to believe another man could be so brutal? Or is it more about the level of control over women being just so irresistible to even them. They can't bring themselves to do it, or maybe they HAVE. So a blanket condemnation of women is a convenient way for them to excuse all men, especially themselves, for being childish, lazy and misogynist (I want to change that word which has become almost void of meaning to women HATER)?
A point worth mention is that the 'legislators' who vote against woman at every opportunity are just as guilty as if they had personally raped. We should bring that point home in the state houses so no one can ever again BLAME the woman.
