No offense, BigSkyGal...but you would get your point across much better not ranting and using "****" every other ******* word, know what I ******* mean?
You are passionate about this and I understand that. I do.
My posts are probably the most articulate, knowledgeable and well-written in this thread, Gracie. The fact that I'm interjecting my doctoral-level vocabulary with the occasional ****, ******* and asshole is because the posts some of you have made here make me wish I could reach through my computer, across the interwebs, through your computer and punch you in the face.
People whose knee-jerk reaction to rape allegations is to spew such nonsense - while ill-informed and lacking any personal experience - are the very reason that rape is still so prevalent in our society and so often goes unpunished.
It's ******* maddening. Fuckity **** **** ****!
If I'd not used **** a single time in my posts, you'd still be defending that ******* monster serial rapist because you laughed at Fat Albert and The Cosby Show and you can't stand to accept that when it comes to sex crimes, the predatory monsters in this world live all around you, they are your neighbor, your friend, your teacher, your coworker, etc.
They are hardly ever a ski-mask-wearing psychopath who drags you down an alley or breaks into your home at night - Criminal Minds isn't the real world, those kind of criminals are few and far between.
The lovely man who makes you laugh over dinner, who earns your trust and respect in the workplace, then surreptitiously slips some GHB in your drink one night when you're looking the other way - and you wake up the next morning with a sore vagina or rectum, and wondering how this could have happened and feeling like you just want to die - a feeling that never goes completely away - because you trusted somebody who violated you in the most disgusting way . . .
Yeah, I can see why you'd rather bury you head in the sand by lovin' on Cosby and blaming his victims. Doesn't matter if I say **** or not.
Which by the way, given the use of vulgarity and invective here on a regular basis - I find the criticism just a tiny bit disingenuous. New rules for new posters, huh?
