I want women to feel that they should not have to subject themselves to people, places, events, that they don't want to.

I want women to have high self esteem so that they don't feel that they have to get treated in a certain way.

I want women to feel empowered.

When women feel they deserve less than the best, that is ripe for abuse, of any kind.

What I am saying is that women should not have to go to such extremes just to be liked and accepted.

Women should not have to feel as if the only way they can get attention and "love" is to suffer abuse for it and put up with it.

I want women to be able to take control of their lives, and to do that is to understand their responsibility in their own actions. To recognize that they don't have to leave that option to someone else. It is their choice.

You do not seem to grasp that rape has zero to do with their own actions.

I wonder why do you think you have to resort to using profanity to get your point across?

I don't have to. I choose to. Because people like you make it easier for rapists to get away with it.

Also, I doubt that's what you were trying to insinuate, but you got scared and backed off.

Particularly pathetic from someone who'll say ass but hide it behind symbols "because of the TOS."

Go back and re-read my posts. I've answered this multiple times....

You have, in the affirmative.

Again with the 'F' bomb. Color me impressed....

I don't care if I impress you. You're a moron who perpetuates the culture that makes rape "OK" by your insistence that it is partially the victim's fault. You are part of the problem. Not the woman who drinks too much, or the person who ends up in the wrong area of town or the guy who shows up at the party where his friends were; YOU are part of the problem. Because you're the reason the defense lawyer can ask a victim how many people she sleeps with, what she was wearing, why she was even at that party and how many drinks she had and get his client acquitted.

When I tell you to fuck off, it's not for a lack of other things to say, it's because that is the best way to express how disgusted I am with the things you're saying. So fuck off, kiss my ass, go fuck yourself, or have a blessed day but stop being part of the fucking problem.
