Who keeps throwing these cards at me? It's not funny, you know! Stop it!
Someone requested my Japanese Tenipuri and Chobits off of BookMooch THANK GOD. I was really starting to need the shelf space (y helo thar Banana Fish). And now I have points again!
Next week in Gender, Violence, and Social Change we're talking about rape. We've already started getting into the readings for it and my responses to them are the usual for a women's class: angry, sad, frustrated, and such. But! Since it's rape, they're also bumping up against 4chan. So. Uh. Yes.
Normal response (from a Sexual Harassment paper): I'm distressed that our culture has such a strong attitude of 'blame the victim'.
Responses this week (RAEP): IT'S NOT THE FUCKING WOMAN'S FAULT YOU FUCKER, FUCK. FUCKITY FUCK FUCK FUCK! SHE DID FIGHT BACK. YOU'RE JUST SO FUCKING STUPID IT'S A WONDER YOU CAN EVEN BREATHE, MUCH LESS FORCE YOUR DISGUSTING SELF ON THE FIRST THING YOU SAW THAT DIDN'T RUN AWAY SCREAMING. I hope you go to jail. You seem to be so fond of rape. I'm sure Bubba here would like to teach you all about unwelcome sexual advances. WHERE'S A GANT WHEN YOU NEED HIM? Probably in the pool. Swimming. With Pyramid Head. IT'S RAPING TIME! JESUS CHRIST IT'S A RAPIST GET IN THE CAR.
Thank god the teacher is awesome and counts that as a response. Because really, that is my response.
I'm starting to be able to pull up rape statistics from memory. See? 99% of rapists are men, 16% of rapes are reported, 69% of male college students said they would rape a human female if there were no punishments, 84-88% of rapes are done by acquaintances, 2/3rds of self-described date rapists said the fault for the incident rested with the woman, I am 100% sick and tired of learning about stupid things men have done, do today, and will do in the future. Thanks a lot, guys. Really. You've got a great track record.
Fortunately, I don't seem to be any snippier with the men in my life! Ha ha! Success! I know the guys in my life are mostly great, intelligent, respectful, fun people.
Thanks! I am so glad I know you all!

Anyway. Time to eat something, watch Bleach..what...121?, then scribble out a response to...uh...Washington State Rape Law. Because that's the only class I have tomorrow. Ho ho ho.
(HALP. I KEEP WATCHING YU-GI-OH: THE ABRIDGED SERIES AND THE BLEACH MUSICALS. THEY'RE STARTING TO BLEND TOGETHER. AIZEN POPPED HIS HEAD UP AND I SAID "IT'S RAPING TIME". ICHIGO GESTICULATED WILDLY AND WILL LAUGHED AND SAID "I KILLED A GAY CLOWN, FOR RA'S SAKE." And don't even get me started on the ocean.)
The ocean says yes!
In America.
