1. We shouldnt have to.

You've got some great comments in the Steubanville thread.

2. Because women exist in a perpetual state of "yes", of course.

It is mind bending.

"Yes" is assumed to be the default as long as we live and breathe and walk the earth among men.

Therefore, "no" has to be proven.

What kind of twisted horseshit is that "logic"?

'Women are in a state of pre-rape solution' but that's the only comment I've ever had hidden my entire time at DU. Makes me think she's spot on.

[redqueen]

6. Yes. She is spot fucking on.

It has to change.

We have to hammer this point home, again and again.

All I have been told is that if we ask men nicer, they will stop victim blaming.
