I wrote this bit as it's own article, but since it's all about the use and abuse of the word "rape" I'll put it here:
---
Here's a question to separate the liberals from the Americans: should we use the same word for "
rape" and "
not-rape"? I mean, there's already too many words in the english language, and do we really need such a high level of precision?
Imagine your daughter comes home and says this. "
A funny thing happened to me last night, though my memory is kind of unclear on the exact details. You see, either I was innocently minding my own business when a man jumped out of the bushes, beat me within an inch of my life, and stole my virginity from me. Um, I think. Maybe what actually happened is I chose to go to a party where a bunch of drugged up fratboys were screwing unconscious women, and then I chose to take drugs until I passed out. Like I said, I'm still a bit confused on the details. But they're pretty much the same thing, right?"
Of course, anyone with a brain believes that we need two words because they are different things. Just like the difference between "rape victim" and "slut". But don't try to tell the feminist nut-chopper squads who run around saying "11 out of 10 women get raped every day - that's how evil men are!". Here is the
liberal VOX.com admitting that liberals use the same word for "rape victim" and "slut".
Researchers in other surveys, including the CDC's, don't necessarily use the term "rape" or "sexual assault" at all. Instead, they ask much more specific questions about what happened, such as "when you were drunk, high, drugged, or passed out and unable to consent, how many people ever had vaginal sex with you?"
"How many" - since they were unconscious, the only way for them to count would be either to have turnstiles on their vaginas*, or we are to simply assume that it's standard operating procedure that when a woman passes out at a college party, every male screws her, without exception. I'm willing to believe that.
[*Seriously, that would be a better invention that what feminists have already come up with].
Gee, do ya think, just maybe, that we need a different word for "
I was innocently going about my business when a vicious monster permanently destroyed my virtue" and "
I voluntarily choose to hang out with people who are known to screw unconscious women, and then I voluntarily choose to drug myself into unconsciousness."
So when feminists say "
1 out of 5 college women has been raped", they are actually saying "
I out of 5 college women voluntarily choose to hang out with people who are known to screw unconscious women, and then voluntarily choose to drug themselves into unconsciousness."
Close enough, right?
And of course, when your local feminist proudly stands up and boasts "
I was raped [wait for applause]" what she's actually saying is "
I voluntarily choose to hang out with people who are known to screw unconscious women, and then I voluntarily choose to drug myself into unconsciousness."
Let me tell you, South Africa, every liberal's definition of utopia, has the world's highest rate of rape, and over there "Rape" doesn't mean the chicks are passing out drunk. Not that liberals care about that, after all, they already use the same word for "
black man raping white woman" and "
reparations".
