Some rather clever boys have invented a nail polish that will change color in the presence of rape drugs. [I refuse to call them “date rape” drugs. Drugging someone so you can have sex with them is just plain rape. “Date rape” is apparently a term used when a woman consents to sex with a guy, and then some days or weeks later changes her mind when he doesn’t call.] It’s intended to protect women against sexual assault.
Good idea, right? You would think woman would embrace this form of protection.
Women, yes. Feminists, no. In fact, feminists are even more angry than their resting state of angry over this invention.
“I don’t want to f[***]ing test my drink when I’m at the bar,” said Rebecca Nagle, one of the co-directors of an activist group called FORCE: Upsetting Rape Culture. “That’s not the world I want to live in.”
Ah. So you see, all their “rape culture” rhetoric isn’t about preventing rape, it’s about “changing the world.”
Specifically, it’s about changing the world so that men have no power or status in it. (What did you think they meant by “Smash the Patriarchy?”) “Rape Culture” is just the latest cudgel. “Do you oppose the radical agenda of the feminist left? Well, you obviously support Rape Culture!”) Imagine how the Duke lacrosse case would have worked out if the feminists had had their way?
To a militant feminist “rapist” is just a synonym for “man.”
Discuss this incendiary opinion.
I don’t know what there is to discuss. According to V, a world in which women don’t have to worry about rape is a world where men have no power. That’s pretty clear from his post.
They also are wanting this for free, which is helpful. Because it’s not about rape at this point. It’s about punishing men.
I had a discussion with one woman on the subject of “harassment”. One of the things she objected to was people staring at her breasts.
While there are people who are just plain rude, and should have been taught civilized behavior before puberty, she took it to an unattainable extreme. She stated she should be able to walk naked into a venue and not be gawked at.
This isn’t about harassment. It’s not about reason. It’s about a desire to change the laws of nature.
If you’re going to be cheeky, at least try to be funny.
Okay.. here is the dilemma for me… As statistics show us an increasing number of children are being raised in female headed households. There seems to be an increase in the number of male-on-female sexual assaults. Is there a correlation?
I ask some of my younger straight female friends why they go to gay dance clubs, one answer : they don’t have to worry about this sort of thing.
My partner and I often dance at “straight” clubs. A majority of the women dancing have their drinks in their hands. This is an issue. However, the response of “unicorns” and “everlasting happiness” is just immature.
We as a society routinely “test” things to make sure they are safe. I am sure this is the same crowd that thinks a woman (or gay man) having a concealed weapon is just crazy b^llsh*t. They need to grow up.
It takes a sick, deluded mind to twist my words as grotesquely as rtm did.
If they had this nail polish then they couldn’t claim they where date raped. I have stopped a couple of friends from being date raped where they went unresponsive quickly at gay bars. I was even banned from a club for stopping a date rape by one of their “best customers”. My 20somthing friend who was unresponsive 10 min after being sober was not banned, the friend that shot cell phone vid on white haired grandpa Moses with his hands down the victims pants in a booth was not banned, nor was grandpa Moses. To the gay leftist view I was the problem for making it a problem.
I have actually summoned straight friends to take care of drunk man crazy bachelorette that show up at gay bars and paw at us. Kinda like a discount version of the movie Wedding Crashers
sorry I meant bachelorette parties.
@Karl tell her to gain weight, and that after 35 no str8 guy will look at her.
V, if that’s not how you wanted it interpreted, that’s not how you should have written it.
Actually, that isn’t how he wrote it, rtm.
But now, you can answer this: since you defend the “feminists’ who supposedly want a world without rape, perhaps you can explain why they call for women they don’t like to be demeaned and raped — an in the process, even including a demeaning stereotype of black men as rapists.
If one considers that, what becomes immediately obvious is that these so-called “feminists” do not care about rape, and in fact see rape as being USEFUL as a means of terrorizing and punishing women who they don’t like. That also dovetails nicely with their opposition to detecting rape drugs, since their goal is to cash in on victimhood, not to prevent or stop rapes. Furthermore, by demeaning black men as all being rapists, it demonstrates that these “feminists” are both racist and sexist in addition to being SUPPORTIVE of rape.
If you’re going to be cheeky, at least try to be funny.

That’s odd, CrayCray, because you and your fellow liberals consider raping and demeaning women to be jokes.
But of course, why would we expect you to ever be consistent? You’re a liberal, and thus you support raping conservative women. It’s all about the Alinsky left trying to exploit the fact that conservatives are decent people. We need only realize that you, CrayCray, are a rapist and supporter of raping conservative women, and thus your attempt to blame conservatives only exposes you as a hypocrite and liar.

Also curious how you get from a woman saying she doesn’t want a world where women have to worry about being drugged and raped, to your assertion that she’s not talking about rape.
First, I would like to see the charge of rape be returned to it old meanings or given the courtesy of degrees ranging from unexpected and violent to any contact that a woman decrees as rape.
A world without rape is one of those “world singing perfect harmony” sort of gender studies hallucinations where the Great Amazon of Diversity makes instant and inconstant determinations depending of the time of the month.
By the way, does the garden variety gay have a dog in this fight? And, do lesbians rape?
Perhaps, rtm, you can describe this world she dreams of where there’s never anyone taking advantage of another? I think Huxley wrote about one. Care to share?
Point is, this polish is a way to prevent rape. run your nails in the drink to test for a positive. Rebecca Nagle would rather see innocents punished than see a woman take steps to defend herself.
Oh wait, she’s fine with punishing innocent men, so she can seek her utopia. I seem to recall this chap named Stalin who would agree.
Exactly, Heliotrope. It’s like those lame Facebook memes: “Instead of teaching our daughters to defend themselves, can’t we teach sons not to rape.”
1st of all is the implied insult that all men are rapists unless enlightened women cure them of their rapist ways. (rtm implicitly buys into this.)
2nd is the sheer utopianism of this, the notion that you can eliminate evil through happy thoughts and unicorn.
And gay men do have a dog in this fight because this isnt about rape, it’s about misandry. To feminists, all penis-bearers are bad, even the poor bastard at the Slutwalk.
We need to address another thing that happens at these “slut walks.” The women and culturally emasculated men who participate in them wear high heels. Now, before anybody accuses me of transphobia or misogyny, I would like to point out that these heels are often quite large, even ludicrous.
Women are under no obligation to wear heels in today’s culture. Women who work in jobs that require a lot of walking or standing wear flats, and nobody bats an eyelash. Unless a woman is living in a culturally backwards community, nobody is making them wear heels. Women now wear heels because they want to, to impress their friends, or to attract a mate.
Heels elevate a woman’s rump and change their gait to draw attention to them, especially the outsized “hooker heels” that are worn in these “slut walks.” A woman who wears large heels is signaling that she is seeking sex. Don’t believe me? Look up studies on simian behavior- sexually receptive females will change their gait and stance to draw attention to their posteriors.
So, why do feminists make men wear “hooker heels” in slut walks? Women are not societally compelled to wear heels. So why make men wear them? Simple: to mock them. To make men stand and walk in a way that makes them signal, “I’m here, boys, come and get me.” So much of modern feminism is about denigrating men and making them serve women’s whims.

We could have a rape scale.
1- Blew 24 guys on video and found out prize was only $7drink
2- Found out he laid out a fake ATM receipt with extra money on it
3- Parents saw video of you at New Orleans graveyard from last month or for gays down by the railroad tracks with a drunk str8 under21yo.

Heels are a way of standing taller and feeling more feminine. They require balance and demand grace and signify a more acute awareness of how one is presenting themselves in public.
Like, lipstick, anything can be taken to cartoonish extremes.
And women don’t stop wearing heels just because they’ve attracted a husband and/or started a family.
@CrayCrayPatriot: I noted that women wear heels for multiple reasons, not just because they’re looking for men. And I noted that the heels worn in the slut walks are absurdly long and are more common on streetwalkers than on female professionals.
Reading comprehension is a wonderful thing, you should try it.
Here you go on the heel issue

Garden-variety gays often have sisters and nieces — occasionally even daughters — and we want them to be able to go out and have a good time dancing without being raped.
Gays also have (heterosexual) brothers and nephews — and occasionally sons — and we want them to be able to go out and have a good time dancing with young women without being falsely accused of rape.
“22.By the way, does the garden variety gay have a dog in this fight?”
If you or any of your friends are hot and light enough to be carried from a bar the answer is yes.
Mr. McGee, thanks for your excellent points @ #22.
I am sadden by rape even if I have no connection to the victim. My heart goes out to the victims and in many cases to those who are close to the assailant.
Can you imagine the horror of finding out that the person you kiss good night every night is a rapist?
Awww, when RTM is asked to put up, he shut up.
TnnsNe1, close to your example, I found out my High School Band Director was a paedophile. This is the guy my parents trusted me and my sisters with 25 years before he was arrested. In talking with classmates, his… preferences were rumored back then. It’s not quite ‘kissing him good night’ but we did look up to him and remember him fondly. Well until now.
Sorry, Livewire, but where was I asked to put up? I gladly will. I know you don’t mean ND30. As usual he veered off into things said by other people who are not the person he’s speaking to.
And as for V the K in comment 16, he made a completely unsubstantiated claim about what I “buy into.” (I don’t buy into it, by the way).
So can you specify the “putting up” to which you’d like me to respond?
You might try reading comment 15. Ask someone to help you with the big words…
Legal insurrection nails it.
“Would we tell a man that putting his wallet in his front pocket as opposed to his back pocket (or a woman keeping her purse zipped as she walks down the street) contributes to “theft culture?” Or that locking the front door contributes to “robbery culture?” We wouldn’t, because most people who exist in the practical world as opposed to the activist philosopher world acknowledge that evil exists. “Leaning in” and “addressing the issues” isn’t going to stop someone with severe control issues from attacking another person.
Arguing that self-defense encourages attacks actually does more to perpetuate this alleged “rape culture” than a bottle of nail polish that has the potential to warn a woman away from a potential attacker.”
Whining “I don’t want to live in this world” instead of, well, living in this world is a good way to stop doing either.
Oh, sorry, Livewire, I thought that was just rhetorical nonsense. I didn’t see anything in her words about a world “where there’s never anyone taking advantage of another.” She simply angry that this is a world where women must resort to covert, spy-movie-style measures to avoid rape. Isn’t that enough to make anyone angry?
And I certainly didn’t see anything in there about being fine with punishing innocent men.
Because your comment was so out of touch with what the article said, I couldn’t take it seriously. And I still can’t.
Shorter RTM “I can’t back up my statements.”
Nice to see such candor.
I don’t know how you got “I can’t back up my statements” from my explanation that your comment was so far out of touch with what the woman said that it doesn’t deserve to be taken seriously.
In fact, since you ignored that I pointed this out, sounds to me like you’re the one saying, “I can’t back up my statements.”
Project much?
