for some reason, on one of my list serves, this girl posted a joke about "giving head"... it was like the top 20 reasons why women shouldn't have to give head to men..and then there was this rebuttal at the end with 20 reasons why women have to "give head" to men.
First of all, I didn't even find the joke funny (standing outside of my position).
A few posts went out about how joking about "forced sexual contact" was only perpetuating a cycle of this attitude about how you can treat women...etc..etc..
and then there was this huge barrage of emails that went out about how women should just learn how to take things as a joke and stop always playing the victim..i think at one point, some guy said, "loosen up, rape may make you angry with men but you have to realize that there's always going to be that few group of men who get a kick out of it"...
;P what the hell is wrong with people. it's NEVER okay to stop telling people that rape is wrong or sexual harassment is wrong. it is NEVER okay to just accept the fact that women have to fear sexual assaults! it is NEVER okay for us to loosen up.. 1/4 students at my university is sexually assaulted each year. i hardly qualify this as "few"..
ugh...
ugh....
did i say ugh??
ugh.
