I heard from a few people that many of the male supporters who headed small groups in these anti-rape protests were actually people who had done it themselves but had never been caught. Talk about duplicity.

I don’t expect much from people really. They’re generally brutish and forgetful. But if as a result well-thought-out rape laws can be put in. Banning the rape test, for instance, then it’ll be something. 

“Things that were meant purely for the violent, pornographic titillation of our readers”

I dont understand how those noble minded protestors who are just so offended by the objectifcation of women missed the pronography in the news. Did those graphic descriptions not seem odd to them ? Perhaps they too enjoyed it.

and yet you are hoping these same protestors will just suddenly change everything …. I dont mean to offend or criticize you but I can’t help but feel that this kind of optimisim -that somehow for no reason, without any effort , we will suddenly enter utopia – can only make things worse.
