Pickup guru Roosh V: End rape by making it legal

[ismnotwasm]

The sleaze post of the week. It's good to revisit to outcome of MRA thinking in this case through a PUA's eyes on occation

Oh-- and read the comment section, in case you think up this is a random nut job

Looking back on his own life, he wrote in a blog post yesterday (archived here),

I saw women wholly unconcerned with their own safety and the character of men they developed intimate relationships with. I saw women who voluntarily numbed themselves with alcohol and other drugs in social settings before letting the direction of the night’s wind determine who they would follow into a private room. I saw women who, once feeling awkward, sad, or guilty for a sexual encounter they didn’t fully remember, call upon an authority figure to resolve the problem by locking up her previous night’s lover in prison or ejecting him from school.

While walking to my place, I realized how drunk she was. In America, having sex with her would have been rape, since she legally couldn’t give her consent. It didn’t help matters that I was relatively sober, but I can’t say I cared or even hesitated. I won’t rationalize my actions, but having sex is what I do.

By attempting to teach men not to rape, what we have actually done is teach women not to care about being raped, not to protect themselves from easily preventable acts, and not to take responsibility for their actions. At the same time, we don’t hesitate to blame men for bad things that happen to them (if right now you walked into a dangerous ghetto and got robbed, you would be called an idiot and no one would say “teach ghetto kids not to steal”).

It was obvious to me that the advice of our esteemed establishment writers and critics wasn’t stopping the problem, and since rape was already on the law books with severe penalties, additional laws or flyers posted on dormitory doors won’t stop this rape culture either.
make rape legal if done on private property. I propose that we make the violent taking of a woman not punishable by law when done off public grounds.

1. Can I just pretend that I didn't read that?

Because that is one of the most disturbing things I've ever read.

2. Oh dear dog!

This is for real?

I am against violence. But I would have no problem making sure this dude could never rape again

[ismnotwasm]

3. It's real

This guy is a creepy loser, but he does have followers, unfortunately

[marym625]

6. damn

How can anyone be so cavalier about rape?

There's just absolutely no way to justify that

[ismnotwasm]

11. No there isn't

Yet he tries to

[gordianot]

4. Only the truly mad and Republicans try to justify rape.

5. What the fuck is this shit?

[ismnotwasm]

7. It's an asshole who has some internet cashet for being a straight up misogynist

He's been around for a while. What bugs me, besides the obvious is there are men who pay attention to him, or as you see in the comment section, actually validate at least part of his philosophy

[marym625]

9. Some asswipe that just admitted to raping someone

And blamed her.

Unbelievable

[Warpy]

8. The man's entitlement has rendered him beyond dense

There is nothing you can do with someone as blind, deaf and stupid as this guy is.

[Exhibit A]

10. I saw this today.

That guy is seriously disturbed.

I'm not sure what's so hard to understand about rape being a male behavior problem, and therefore the responsibility of males to correct.

[DetlefK]

12. Oh, I get it. Legalize rape and place the full burden of preventing rape on women.

That doesn't sound like a new plan to me. That sounds like a stone-age plan.



"Having sex is what I do." Robbing people is what other people do. Should we legalize a crime just because the criminal has no empathy towards the victim?

[ismnotwasm]

13. Exactly

I think this idiot thinks he's exploring new frontiers

14. what an Absolute Idiot.
