STFU, Rape Culture!

thecurvature:

So you’ve probably heard of the Reddit rape thread, right? If not, consider yourself lucky. Anyway, I found myself basically numb to the confessed rapist himself. Not like dude was telling me anything I didn’t know from my own personal life experience. But this response right here, from some shit stain who calls himself bmobula, needs to have his fucking face eaten off by a piranha:

I hope it also sheds light on the mentality of women who experience something horrific like this.

I can tell you from personal experience, since my wife was raped as a young woman, that one reason women don’t come out and tell family and friends about their experiences and blame themselves instead is because they’re afraid of what the men in their families would do.

To this day, my wife will not tell me or her brother or her father the identity of her rapist. The reason why is that even now, more than 20 years later, if any of us found out who it was we would go and kill the guy. No question, no hesitation, no remorse. One or all of us would just get in the car, go to his house, and put a bullet in his head.

Since my wife doesn’t want any of the men she cares about in her family doing something this awful and stupid and throwing their lives away, she will never, ever tell us.

And remember, the pieces of shit like serial_rapist_thread are counting on this. They’re counting on the people they rape to be better human beings than them. That’s why they don’t rape anyone who would pose a risk of retribution. I promise you, this guy wasn’t raping the girlfriends of MMA fighters or gangbangers - and that was no accident.

I really admire the men who DO find out and manage to keep their shit together. My wife and I do not yet have kids, and maybe if we did that would keep me from hunting down and killing her rapist - the fact that my kids would depend on me, and I wouldn’t want them to grow up with their father in jail for murder. But I’m still not 100% sure. But it certainly wouldn’t stop her father, not at this point in his life.

First of all, you useless asshole, you’re clueless. Chances are your wife isn’t telling you who her rapist is because you know the guy. She knew the guy, so chances are you and her family know the guy. And then your big old macho act would end and you’d probably start asking her questions like is she sure she was forceful enough in her rejections, because he’s a really great guy. And she has to protect herself against your scumbag misogyny.

But let’s assume this is the truth. Let’s assume the reason she won’t tell any of the men who are closest to her who raped her because she thinks you’re all going to go kill the guy.

You’re a terrible human being.

What is wrong with you? You are the LEAST SUPPORTIVE, MOST SELFISH fucked up excuse for a person I’ve come across in a long time.

Your wife feels that she can’t talk to you, her husband, about what was likely the most traumatic experience in her entire life, because she can’t trust you to LISTEN TO HER and SUPPORT HER HOW SHE WANTS TO BE SUPPORTED rather than being a SHITHEAD.

In your own little fantasy narrative, in which you are fucking Rambo as opposed to a good husband, you KNOW that she doesn’t want you or anybody else killing the guy. But that’s not good enough for you. BECAUSE THEN YOU WOULDN’T BE RAMBO. So now she gets to keep this secret for the rest of her life because every man she’s close with is a misogynistic asshole who doesn’t know how to handle shit with anything other than violence.

Of course, we all know you’re a coward and aren’t going to kill anybody.

Which means that in your fantasy reason why your wife won’t tell you who raped her, your wife has to keep a horrible secret whether she wants to or not instead of having the free option of releasing it to those who are supposed to love her more than anybody, it’s just to prop up your violent male fantasy of yourself as a badass who doesn’t listen to silly little things like what rape victims actually want.

Good job, dude. A+. Fall in a fucking pit.
