Where all the white women at?

I jest, so that I do not start beating people.

Why, you may ask?

First, it looks like a lot of women are unsympathetic bitches to victims of rape. Just... wow. I hope it never happens to them, or anyone, but jesus fucking christ, those are some heartless fucking people in that survey.

A bit closer to home (literally), the Tampa PD did their part to take the VD out of VD by staging a prostitution clientele sting a couple blocks from my house. K and I shared our bemusement, along with a healthy dose of, "Well, I can't say I'm surprised those fine gentlemen wanted to rent a lady's services."

Those women have a lot of emotional investment in the idea that it can't happen to them because. If they had any kind of empathy for the victims, they would have to admit that they themselves are at risk.

The world is a lot less scary if you can maintain some sense of control.

Yep. It's the same reason why prosecutors don't want women who are the same basic demographic as the victim on juries during rape trials. Evidently men who fit the father/older brother demographic are more likely to convict.
