With All Due Respect
No disrespect to the hundreds of women who are assaulted every day, but… y’all are liars.
And these loopholes, these cheats and gimmicks that you impetuous, moody females use to get abortions any time you claim to have been raped… they’ve got to be closed, for the good of society.
Because everyone knows you gals lie about being raped- you feminazis, ball-busters and oopsie-daisy morning-after regret girls. And if even one of you might make up a story of being forced and degraded just to gain permission to control your own body again- imagine that!– well then, we can’t trust any of you to ever tell the truth.
No disrespect, but we’ve got to close these loopholes.
Oh women know how to lie, alright.
“No, it’s ok, you take the last one- I didn’t really want it”
“Yes, that tie looks great”
“Sorry, I have a headache and really need to get up early”
“I had a wonderful time tonight!”
“I’ll call you tomorrow” – “No, I’m not married”
“If you loved me— you’d say yes”.
“Falsely accused” is a terrible thing indeed but- and no disrespect to the asshole from Indiana- it’s just not relevant here ‘cause we’re not talking about criminal accusations, just basic human dignity.
Rape is probably the most under-reported crime in America. When women lie about rape— it’s usually to say it didn’t happen, it never happened, what makes you think something happened? I’m fine, everything is fine, please, don’t touch me, don’t look at me, don't ask me- don’t hurt me again.
For every She just felt guilty in the morning and called it rape case that’s out there- and they exist- there are a thousand cases of She went home and washed for an hour but couldn't wash off the shame, couldn't bear to let anyone else see that shame, couldn’t let anyone see her for fear they’d smell it on her like a disease.
So she puts up walls, peers out through a little hole in the door at the free and confident person she used to be.
Q: What do you call a female who is not permitted to control her own reproductive organs?
A: livestock.
No one will believe a slut like you said no rape
When you dress like that you’re just asking for it rape
I know you want to keep your job rape
A girl who looks like you should be grateful for the attention rape
You didn’t really think I hired you for your brains, did you? rape
I like it when they’re too young to have the courage to say no rape
Have another drink- really, it’s OK rape
You can’t say no to me bitch- I’m your husband rape
You just need someone to f**k the gay out of you rape
You invited me to come inside, what did you think was gonna happen? rape
It’s not rape if she’s passed out and can’t say no! rape
She said no, but she really means yes rape.
And then we have to prove it, by photographing our bruises, cataloging our debasement, telling our shame over and over to strangers, only to have men in suits and comb-overs clucking their tongues wondering if our violation was 'forcible' enough, violent enough to Qualify us for the “You get to decide for Yourself” club that they belong to. That they have always belonged to.
And now every rape victim has just been assaulted again, had the most intimate choices she will ever make, about sex and child-bearing, torn away by men who probably resent the fact that women are even allowed to say no at all, because women…. they lie about rape all the time, you know,
...like that bitch in college I know she wanted it- I could see it in her eyes…
If she was drunk- it wasn’t rape.
If she was drugged, it wasn’t rape
If the only cutting that was done was the shredding of her dignity and privacy, then it wasn’t really rape- so she shouldn’t get to choose her own future.
Some of them have even started to claim that if a woman is truly raped, if she really didn't want it and really, in her heart of hearts didn't ask for it, she can’t get pregnant. No, really. The emotional trauma will prevent it from happening, they say.
So really, there’s no such thing as a pregnant rape victim, just a lying whore.
How very handy for the rapist.
Judge and jury and executioner of the free will of every woman in America, this self-satisfied man, who has never had control of his own body taken away from him means no disrespect to those poor gals who may have actually been attacked but ladies…. I’m sure you understand, this loophole has got to be closed.
It’s the principle of the thing, and principle, after all, is more important than people.
