Are you rape cultured?

"I'm wearing this ugly sweater not because I love it, but because I acknowledge how ugly it is. I don't really like it."

"I'm seeing a movie by a man I believe to be a child molester who's given a pass because of the patriarchal rape culture not because I really want to see it, but because I acknowledge that seeing it is just perpetuating the very system I claim to be benefiting him... and because Cate Blanchett is supposed to be aMAHzing."

"...everyone finally shut up, and the audience could enjoy the beginning of the Anatevka Pogram in peace."

I shudder to imagine what this ignoramus teaches in his history class.

'Mr. Bady should be ashamed of himself. Lumping so many women together--and young boys too!--with a cookie-cutter approach is dehumanizing.'

And please let us not forget the grown men who are incarcerated who suffer the horrors of rape as well. But, in their case, that's actually seen as a feature of their punishment, not a hideous bug in the system.

That's not a real quote from him...is it???? Please tell me it's not.

Oh God...it's like those satire sites that I never know are satire. Sorry, Kad!

Oh, I thought it was real because of the quotation marks.

Even if it's not legit he's still an ignoramus.

I am deeply sick of the term "rape culture." It's the "No Means No" of the new century.

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali

Since we are a group of people who love great theater actotrs and since some people here have expressed doubt about whether children in some cases - not all but some - ever tell lies about being sexually abused by adults. I suggest as definitive viewing: Indictment: The McMartin Trial with Shirley Knight, Sada Thompson and Mercedes Ruehl.

And on slightly different but highly related note, the documentary Capturing the Friedmans to be followed by reading recent articles about Jesse Friedman's ordeal as the wrongly accused, now exonerated by many of his accusers and his efforts to adjust to life after a long prison term.

But, of course, by pointing this out, I'm obviously a child-hating, woman-hating rape-culture-entrenched asshole.

It's so horrible in Capturing the Friedmans when you hear the voice over of the I think sheriff woman saying, "Behind the piano's there were great towering piles of kiddie porn magazines" and you see the evidence photos and there is, like, a small pile of sheet music.

Great film; well worth seeing:

"The film is also an exceedingly black comedy that parodies proper society's eager, self-righteous naïveté on the subject of its children. Lucas's life is ruined by a short chain of events that he exacerbates with an act of kindness and decency. A little girl, Klara (a chilling Annika Wedderkopp), disturbed by her parents' fighting and emboldened by a fleeting glimpse of pornography her older brother shows her, concocts a story of how Lucas sexually abused her as a reprisal for his refusal of her own confused, inappropriate gestures toward him. Because she's a little girl, and thus infallible in the gullible adults' eyes, it never occurs to anyone to consider her claim's immediately apparent incongruities."

"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

I saw The Hunt. It was incredibly powerful.

It's also a good bet for best foreign language film at the Oscars.
