In random world events within my own world, Caity's living up north for the time being dealing with family crisis, I finally found a new place to live after 3 weeks being homeless thanks to asshole January landlord who owes me close to $1000, and classes are kicking my ass since I spent so much time house hunting this term ( Read more... )

Hey, can #51 on the list be for this: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3271534

Stay away from crazy bitches that get drunk and claim rape because they were too drunk to know what they were consenting to?

No, it can't, and I am utterly disinterested in GBS's general views on feminist issues or rape as that is the exact response GBS puts forth for every single conceivable occurrence of rape ever.

Way to generalize and completely avoid the issue. Do you actually lack that much faith in your viewpoint?

Abuse of the system actually probably accounts for a good deal of why the system has some of the problems that it does, and to act as though it's not a legitimate problem is tantamount to plugging your ears and going "LA LA LA LA" on the scale of genuine responses.

Heaven forbid I generalize the goons, the internet detectives will find me and publish all of my secrets.

This is a moderate issue, but it's a vastly overplayed issue specifically in GBS. However rape is still vastly under-reported and under-prosecuted so the only reform to the process I'm particularly interested in seeing pursued would be something which facilitates increased reporting and prosecution of actual rapists, of which there are many. Preventing false imprisonment is an issue which while having some overlap with rape is an issue that is larger than just a rape issue and will need to be addressed seperately.

Wow, that seem a rather fancy way of saying "I can't spin that to be excessively feminist so I shall turn a blind eye to it".

I cannot understand how you've become such a myopic zealot.
