I think I understand what nyan_sandwich means; some quotes from the link “My friend group has a case of the Creepy Dude. How do we clear that up?”:
LW, I know you love him, and I know you don’t want to hear this, but if he can’t agree to that, he can’t be your boyfriend anymore. Someone who would put the feelings of a serial sexual predator ahead of the safety of the person they claim to love is not a good partner.
It’s really fucking sad and unfair. Welcome to our culture, where it’s always this sad and unfair whenever women’s safety is on the line.
This is how far Rape Culture skews our vision. Being sexually harassed and assaulted is seen as something that you should be cool (i.e. quiet) about. But GOD FORBID you break up the weekly games night with the temerity to be a victim of such a crime! Don’t you know that your harasser has the best table for playing Settlers of Cataan?
I wrote-up a (draft) post on my own blog because I was offended by the implication that, by being a member of “society”, and one that is a Rape Culture by-the-way, I am culpable for rape, sexual assault, and the ongoing minimization of women’s safety.
And that post is actually one of the better ones, in that it doesn’t instruct the reader “don’t touch”.
I mean, don’t you know that everyone says you should be cool about being raped? Reading that makes me livid.
