Asking for it

Another flemco link:

http://www2.tricities.com/tri/news/local/article/blame_the_victim_religious_leaflet_claims_ungodly_dressed_women_provoke_rap/42253/

I'm going to step out on a fairly stout fucking limb here and suggest that if your religious faith isn't giving you the moral clarity and self-control to not sexually assault someone just because of how she's dressed, IT'S FUCKING WORTHLESS, AND SO ARE YOU.

The authors of that leaflet should be staked down in a parking lot and fed to wolverines. After all, they're asking for it, aren't they?

Most men, in addition to all the women, I know would find that pamplet insulting.

True story: I was defriended on facebook because someone took issue with me posting a Nike ad (http://www.businessweek.com/the_thread/brandnewday/archives/2005/08/_maybe_its_beca.html). He said that the ad (as well as lingerie ads in the newspaper) was the same thing as porn and that looking at it was the same thing as cheating on his wife. The disturbing part was that his job is as a victims advocate for the marines and he attempted to use his job title as leverage in the ensuing flame war, involving almost my entire f-list, that ensued. He flounced when he saw he was losing the battle. There are pictures on other people's fb accounts that show him streaking across our undergrad campus wearing nothing but blue paint.
