Hmm. I think I had some knee-jerk negative reaction to that post because 1. it's very difficult for me to read something like that without seeing it as prescriptive for women, like "all men are (potential) rapists and if you disagree you're stupid and asking for it" - which at least partially comes from having read so many, many variations on the "If you don't do x or do y or associate with z then you're stupid and asking for it", and the whole goddamn blame the victim mentality; and 2. I forgot what else I was going to say. o.O

To me, the "all men are (potential) rapists" concept is inextricably linked with the secondary clause of "if you disagree you're stupid and asking for it." At this point I degenerate into incoherent handwaving because I've only had six hours of sleep and the words, they are not doing what I want them to do, also the thoughts, they are scattered. So, yeah, that.
