My Comments on the VSB Rape Mess

Very Smart Brothas (VSB) semi-recently had a lil' kerfluffle when one of their posters, AKA "The Champ" wrote a piece about rape, specifically how women can prevent themselves from being raped...

I was one of many who had a problem with that idea, and I'd like to repost here my comments to that effect.

The Problem with the F-Word

The problem with Feminism, like the problem with most religions, is that it doesn't really mean what people say it does.

Definition of Feminism (via Feminists): Advocacy for gender equality. The real definition of Feminism (via the dictionary): The advocacy for women's rights.

See? Right there. They say it's about gender egalitarianism, but in reality it's about increasing the power of women as a group, not about strict gender equality.

Now, I've got no problem with women advocating for their rights and privileges as a group. Hallelujah, praise geebus, and all that jazz. Go get it, girls! Shatter that glass ceiling! Seriously, I support that fully.

If the butterfly knew

What its bright colors attracted

Would it stay inside the cocoon

And be a caterpillar forever?

Small birdsong is more beautiful than a barking dog.

If I Were A...

If I were a month, I'd be mid-July when the sea-breeze meets a desert wind

If I were a day of the week, I'd Thursdays

If I were a time of day, I'd be the dead-man's hour between two and four AM

If I were a planet, I'd be the sun or the moon

If I were an animal, I'd be a chinchilla
