Um, NO.
Seen on Twitter: "They were protesting, so they asked for it" is the new "she wore a short skirt, so she asked for it".
I have not seen analogy failure this total since my daughter tried to convince me that reaching page 85 of her math book was JUST LIKE level 85 in Warcraft so she shouldn't do any more today. I find it disrespectful to actual rape victims and ironic as hell on behalf of the ones victimized in Occupy camps.
And if I talk about it on Twitter, I will be shouted down by a host of people who went "oooh, pithy soundbite which mentions rape and is therefore UNASSAILABLE!!1!" I have absolutely no use for Occupy anyway; anybody who claims nonviolence while worshipping Michael "fuck small business" Moore and making veiled references to the French Revolution doesn't get anything from me but a snort of laughter and a resolve to lock my doors tighter.
