Oh, dear Lord- so the issue of drunken rapes is not the whole story

There have lately been a sickening slew of news reports about the increasing rates of drunken rape on college campuses.  Or rather, the worse news is that it is not really increasing, per se.  There is simply more media attention being paid towards this.

Apparently, this is not a random isolated event in which the victim truly was minding her own damn business and going about her day and then some sick ahole ambushed her and rdep her.

So, wait a minute.  You are saying this is not a one-time thing, as in, "she's genuinely a good, responsible person and she's not usually like this and she just happened to get drunk once and had the horrible luck of being a crime victim?"  You're telling me the unpleasant truth is that these are habitual drunkards that constantly check their good judgment at the door?

You are telling me that these are just a bunch of dumb lazy drunk party btces who just sit around and get drunk at places inhabited by frat aholes -- and then magically expect everyone *else* to be on their best behavior???

So the ugly truth is that these females freely and carelessly engage in this behavior with no regard to their liver and kidney health, and no regard to the horrible danger that is imminent.

So the horrid truth is that these females have a laissez-faire attitude towards their own safety and well-being, with no regard to the fact that perhaps there might not be an altruistic knight in shining armour that might rescue her at this party where people are generally aholes.

This changes the dialogue dramatically.

Females, stop it.  Stop putting yourself in harm's way.  Yes, I am calling out on you to make sure you don't get yourself raped.

We are not talking about a female who was just minding her own business and was assaulted through no fault of her own.  We are not talking about a female who was walking home alone at night.  We are not talking about a girl who decided to take a shortcut through the dark woods, and who fell victim to a sick f*ck that, out of the blue, decided to commit a gruesome crime.

No.  We are talking about females that actively, voluntarily seek out a dangerous, high-risk situation of their own free will.  And then these innocent, drunken little angels choose to participate, of their own free will, in activities that obliterate their judgment, their awareness of their surroundings, and their ability to react in a situation.

You are placing all the hopes of your own life [[[__you are placing a wager on whether your life will be safe from harm -- upon betting statistics that are not in favor of your desired outcome.]]]
You are forgoing your own responsibility to yourself to be ever-vigilant and prudent about your own safety and well-being.

You are relying entirely on other people to be careful and cautious and being concerned with whether or not they are acting in a moral, respectful manner.  While conveniently, casually disregarding the fact that maybe you should act in a moral, respectful manner.

Oh.  So **they** are supposed to care about your safety and health and well-being, but you are not supposed to care about your **own** safety and health and well-being?

If they are expected to be socially conscious, then you must be socially conscious also.  Don't walk into the fraakin lion's den as a poor, angelic partier drunkard and then complain that some horrifying shtt went down.  If they have to be held to that high standard, which they should be, then you have to be held to that high standard also.

There might not be anyone that will stop a potential sick criminal from seeing the path of no resistance, i.e., a passed-out drunk party chik, and_
Forgoing the possibility of a separate rescuer:  the potentially sick criminal might not have a sudden [[flare, bout, jump___]]]] of conscience and think, "wait maybe I shouldn't commit a crime."

Feminism has deteriorated into a pathetic mass of flaccid, saggy, limp

Yes, I know I'm being harsh, but that's because I care about the movement too much to just let it falter.  I care about women too much to just accept that this dredge is part of modern life.

Just so we're clear, this is still rape.  That fact is unchanged.  This is still rape.  The sick asshole did not obtain the female's consent.  He should be arrested and brought up on charges.  I have zero sympathy for him.  Frat boys do genuinely appear to be assholes, and the sooner they learn that having binge-drinking cattle calls are a nightmare blight on society, the better.

It's just that now, I confess that I have very little sympathy for the rpee victim also.  Sure, she should receive counseling if she feels the need, and whatever community support she can get.  But honestly, I do not feel that wave of revulsion and sharp burn of anger that I normally feel any time I hear about a ripp victim on the news.

Remember how, a loooong time ago, I said that the modern dating scene is crap?  And remember how an even loooonger time ago, I observed that the same schitt keeps repeating itself over and over and over again?  This is yet another demonstration of that.

I can't believe people still think that getting a bunch of spoiled brats that are [[[gointo college just to drink and party

Let us discuss the topic of "mansplaining"

In this article I am going to explain why I feel the accusation of "mansplaining" is complete rubbish.

If someone dumbs down an explanation for something highly specialized and technical, I never ever felt that this was aimed at me personally and was condescending specifically to me.  I usually assumed, because it is a correct assumption, that everyone else this person was talking to was rather stupid, and that the person dumbing it down has to do so in order to do their job properly.  The explainer has to make sure everyone more or less gets the concept before they can move on to the next concept.

This had been the case pretty much my entire life.  I'm pretty good with comprehending complex ideas such as oxidative phosphorylation at the substrate level, or proton-gradient driven assembly of ATP inside the mitochondrial membrane.  That doesn't mean everybody is good at it.  A lot of people might need a second or third or fourth go-round, and the explainer must accommodate them accordingly.

I don't know why so many females are actively expending energy and effort, and going out of their way to feel offended and insulted by this.  Stop it.  If you understood the concept quickly and easily, then great.  Zoom past it and move on.  Comprehend it.  Absorb it.  Then get over it and move on.  Be proud of yourself that you understood the concept quickly.  Don't sit there pouting about it.

All educators have to contend with making a concept absorbable and retainable for laypersons, i.e., for students.  People in specialized jobs have to be able to do this also.

I went to get air put in my car tires recently.  The mechanic guy who did this took the time to explain to me why tires tend to decrease in pressure more quickly in cold weather than in warm weather.  Now, I already know why.  But I did not fault the mechanic guy for explaining this to me.  He doesn't know that I have a PhD in Biochemistry.  There is no way he would know that air pressure is a very elementary concept for me.

I did not feel the least bit offended or insulted that the guy took the time to explain this to me.  On the contrary, I felt taken care of because the mechanic explained this to me.  It was a nice feeling.  I thought it was really sweet that he took the time to do that.  All the mechanics there have to explain this to their customers, because that is a vital part of their job.  It is a matter of safety and well-being -- that of cars functioning properly.  They care about their customers enough to explain this, in the hopes that customers will continue to take good care of their cars in the future.

People in that kind of work cannot just assume that everybody that comes through has a working knowledge of air pressure, gas laws, etc.  Mechanics cannot assume that everyone is well-versed in these concepts.  And why the hell would they?  The vast, vast majority of people do not have the knowledge.

You know what is almost as bad as mansplaining?  Chicksplaining.  I cannot stand how too many females are horrible at communication.  They beat around the bush, they hint, they send "signals" (whatever the hell that means)...

They do everything *except* come right out and say straightforwardly what is on their minds.  I have already covered this in a previous article.

There was also an article on cracked-dot-com where a female wrote a weird-ass, illogical, mind-numbing article where she was using all sorts of twisted gibberish to excuse away females' piss-poor communication flaws.  I don't feel like linking to it because I don't want to give cracked-dot-com a goddamn free backlink.

I see that liberal females use all sorts of twisted, skewed, convoluted non-logic as to why their lack of responsibility, lack of accountability, lack of owning up to their mistakes is somehow better than males' lack of responsibility, lack of accountability, lack of owning up to their mistakes.

Or in another version of this, females lecture males on their "insensitivity," why can't he see things from her point of view, why can't he put himself in her shoes, oh men are just horrible jerks, men just don't understand how hard life is for women, men are so insensitive to women's feelings, women work so much harder than men do, etc.

--An example: ____  Okay, fair enough.  But these same females then turn around and say that if a guy does not want to have sex but a girl is pressuring him into it, then this makes the guy a wimp, he is hindering her from being a strong capable woman in charge of her own life, he is preventing her from having body confidence, he is not allowing her to know and explore her body.  These females think there should be no such thing as a guy who has respect for his body and does not just want to jump in the sack with a girl.

And of course, too many self-proclaimed "liberated, empowered" females do not want to take any responsibility for consciously choosing to create a fetus with their own bodies.  They opt instead to blame the male for not piling on the birth control.  They blame the male for the fact the female chose to be lazy and slack and careless about birth control.  I've also talked about this at length.  Liberal females are such massive hypocrites it's ridiculous.
