Somewhere in America, a woman is raped every two minutes . . .

. . . and this is that woman.

Featured in this offensive PSA, which passes off a criminal deviant as a typical guy: http://youtu.be/cHIFPffIl4k

A lame joke mocking the absurd statistic-mongers who claim one-in-you-fill-in-the-blank women are raped, or that a rape occurs once-every-you-fill-in-the-blank. The PSA is offensive because it is typical of PSA's about rape. In this one, two males are depicted. One is a pig, the other is an unhelpful bystander.  While any male above a certain age can be a rapist, the suggestion that this scenario is typical is absurd.

The persons who control the public discourse on rape would have us believe there is no typical rapist but that all of masculinity is infected by "rape culture," and that our college campuses -- relatively safe venues by any measure -- are hotbeds of male sexual predatory misconduct, even though they aren't.

The fact is, rape offenders are disproportionately found among the lower socioeconomic classes, persons mired in a cistern of hopelessness and dependency. They are typically under-educated, under-employed, and under-skilled.

This, of course, doesn't fit the preferred narrative of radicals like Jessica Valenti. who once posited: "Rape is part of our culture; it's normalized to the point where men who are otherwise decent guys will rape and not even think that it's wrong. And that's what terrifies me."

"Normalized." That's the word she used.

These people are pathological.

One would think that university males would start to question their Gender-raunch masters after Julian Assange's false rape accusations.
I was just reading that he is now to be extradited to Sweden where he will face the Perverts.
The missinformation and manufacterd statistics Alliance between law enforcement and Gender-raunch, in many western nations have created a monster.
Maybe the world will see the travesty of the situation and will take pre-emptive steps to break any developing "perversion and manufactured statistics Alliance" that their law enforcement want to get their greedy hands into.

Wow- just like TV- apparently the only people on earth who ever do ANYTHING wrong are white males- preferably fat ones to give feminists a little extra to hate.

Get help.

Get help??Help will come with academics outside the "Pervert curtain", who will write books about the nation in collapse,that while it was collapsing, the patriarchy was called
a matriarchy, and the matriarchal underclass of crime and violence,
was called the patriarchy.

”I was just reading that he is now to be extradited to Sweden where he will face the Perverts.”

Hey, American/Elvis/Professor/Concerned Citizen/Duke Lacrosse and what ever other names you might be going by, the Bill Price just posted a piece about Assange’s impending extradition of at The Spearhead.

I f you don’t have the time to paste in your typical off-base rant, I’ll give you a hand. Just cut-n-paste:

”Gender-Raunch” blah, blah, blah “perversion of American law enforcement” blah, blah, blah “protocol perversions and semantics games” blah, blah, blah “pork barreling” blah, blah, blah

I think that pretty much covers everything you ever have to say; unless, of course, you want to include some of your homophobic paranoia about pleasing their homosexual masters by targeting heterosexual men.

To DF's audience, see this: http://falserapesociety.blogspot.com/2011/10/this-is-also-mens-rights-issue.html - and then go on Facebook and see the criticism I took there. Yep, we're a typical men's rights site, aren't we?

We welcome women here and defend women who've been falsely accused (I got ripped apart on Spearhead one time for that, remember?).

We defended Al Gore over a very stale sexual assault claim. A lot of conservatives were happy to rip Al.

We defended Troy Anthony Davis here when some men's righters thought we shouldn't do it.

Yet your leader (the cute little boy with the bad haircut) lumps this blog in with nutcase bloggers who want to hurt women.

Sorry, folks, that's just evil.

Axel said...

You will never see a PSA directed to the persons most likely to rape.

College. That's where the nutsos brought the battle. It's as if General Grant took the Union Army to Maine to battle the Confederate Army.

Public service announcements are presumed to tell the story of a typical problem.

White college-aged man planning to stick his penis, without consent, into an unconscious woman: not typical.

What's so difficult to understand?

I discovered this from Man Boobz. My first thought was, this is a joke, right?

Women do not lie about rape. The very purpose of your blog is offensive to women.

As for the video, you are denying that we don't all know a hundred guys like that, and that most of your readers are probably just like him? You're denying that all men not only are capable of rape but that rape is part of what it means to be male in today's society? You are denying that men routinely exploit women for their sexual gratification, and that the only reason most men aren't in jail is that women virtually never report that they've been raped?

Anon 8:57: Yes, I'm denying it. Everything you said. You should get some help.

I looked at the Futrelle post.

Wow! For a guy who apparently used to write for a mainstream magazine, he's really gone far down a strange path.

This blog is mainstream. Davey's is not.

Jacko said...

Anon at 8:57, it is sad that there seem to be a fair number of you who actually believe you are surrounded by hobgoblins with penises, ever ready to rape you. In what strange world are you living? Yes, it happens, but it is not common. Far, far more likely, you will encounter men being helpful, but you'd never know it from you.

"Women do not lie about rape."

Myth.

"The very purpose of your blog is offensive to women."

Offensive to you.

Funny, all the mothers, wives, sisters, aunts and other women we here from didn't get that memo. And it's very nice of you to presume to speak for all women. I didn't realize that the supreme voice for all women deigned to remain anonymous.

Coward.

If a woman is raped every two minutes, now the total female population has raped. And the rape process is beginning for the second time for going on. How funny? This is a modern hysteria.

I agree that David Futrelle is evil. His shtick is to lump anyone who dares to speak out for any right that affects men in one grand loony stew. To do this, he is forced to reach for the most extreme examples from the men's rights movement. When mens righters do this to feminism (and yes, that's alot easier to do than what Fruitrelle does), they are accused of misrespresenting feminism.

David Futrelle misrepresents people concerned about men's rights.

Archivist said...

Futrelle reminds me of the smug, mugging little boy who makes his small circle of friends laugh by making fun of retarded kids. It's the only way that little boy finds acceptance. I'd love to debate him sometime, but he's never exhibitted anything approaching the intellectual rigor to make it worthwhile. When Paul Elam debated him -- and remember Futrelle supposedly is a professional writer -- Paul made little Davey with the horrid haircut (I am assuming that picture is Davey as a chid -- ahhh, isn't that so-o-o-o cute?) look screeching and silly. Davey should spend his time posting pictures of his cat, it would contribute more to the world.

If you can't guess, I loathe and despise mean-spirited (and really unfunny) hacks like this asshole. I have much more respect for feminists with whom I rarely agree but who treat the debate seriously.

Axel said...

Debate is not possible with his kind. While you generally talk about real issues, informaton, and facts, they speak in insults and in self-evident conclusions. I could just hear such a "debate": "You're a DOUCHEBAG, Archivist. Lol!"

It's because so many cries for help from the raped have been ignored over the years (see the "she was asking for it/dressed like a hooker" and so on camps for that) that they are in fact afraid to report rape. Rapists can be quite demeaning and make the victim (whether male or female) believe they 'deserved it' or that they were the offending party.

Maybe not every two minutes, but far from rarely. And yes, it does happen with people that are known to the victim.

Any person is capable of rape, no matter what genitalia they have. The difference lies in whether they do it or whether they don't.
