"You think that was sexual assault?"
Trigger warning: A woman fights off a sexual assault and it offends a crowd of men.

I hate people. That is all. They were offended that she fought back.

I need to punch something right now.

	Your summary reminded me immediately of the people going "Why didn't she say or do something" about the woman who was assaulted by that comedian in London. Well, see, what does it matter if she DOES do or say something? Furthermore, she probably knew that treatment like this was a possibility if she protested. Can't. Win.

	Jesus, that was UConn Spring Weekend. I am SO NOT SURPRISED that something like that happened. There were ONLY fifty-one arrests related to it this year -- in previous years, it's been even worse. Fucking drunken assholes who shouldn't be let outside without a leash. (Reply to this)

	nimbrethil 2008-05-05 10:00 pm UTC (link)
	So much for the notion that women can put an end to sexual assault by arming themselves. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Why don't they just start tagging and branding us like broodmares they think we are and be done with it? (Reply to this)

	I want to buy a pink Taser and put cutesy pastel flower decals on it. Or, yeah, maybe a Hello Kitty. That way, the next time a man comes at me like that (and if my experience so far is any guide this is a when not an if) i want to see him writhing on the ground, reduced to a crumpled heap of wasted human flesh by my pink, girly, electrifier of doom.

	Yeah, it definitely triggered me, into violent thoughts- it made me visualize grabbing my keys out my pocket and stabbing the creeps right in the eyes. Whoa didn't realize it would trigger that high a rage in me. And yes I've been sexually assaulted- as a child. (Reply to this)

I posted this on Shakesville too, but The Cleveland Plain Dealer published a powerful piece about a reporter still recovering from being raped while on the job 20 years ago.

The PD, in its infinite wisdom, decided to publish a box with the story -- in which the reporter discussed coming to grips with the fact that she was not at fault -- that spells out ways you can prevent rape. arrrgh. the assholes can't even ready their own copy!!!!
