I finally have FB stupid! A friend of a friend just made the following comment on the Akin story:
"I think what really needs to be done is to define "forcible rape" versus non forcible rape. That would probably be better than legitimate rape. Because if a girl is drugged, she's not really being forced into anything. And maybe if she gets pregnant from that, it will teach her some responsibility."
I didn't even apologize to my friend first for calling this guy an asshole.

What the fuck is wrong with people. I feel like someone should drug him and do horrible things to him, and when he wakes up we can tell him it was his own fault for being so irresponsible as to allow himself to be drugged in the first place.
So disgusted by is whole thing that I'm logging in from vacation.
It's a real fucking shame that despite great strides already, there is still so much to do to make everyone understand what rape actually is and that blaming the victim is fucking wrong. Until then, slut-shaming will exist.
Please tell me that people are not agreeing with him.
Not at all. My friend is a liberal professor. So are most of his friends. He took a thrashing.
What's awesome is his new wife (they just got married in June) went ape shit on the guy, and told him he and his disgusting viewpoints were no longer allowed in her house. Go her. I like her even more.

Good. I was going to post "please tell me your friend unfriended him", but this is better.

Good for her! I couldn't imagine if my husband said something so offensive. I would say to unfriend him, but this drama may be worth watching.
Being drugged and raped is the definition of "forced". It only counts when you're aware that you're being forced?
Yeah, you know, so you can fight back. If you're drugged, you can't push him off, so it's TOTALLY YOUR FAULT. Sucks for you! Don't get drugged next time!

This is what kills me about FB. I honestly think it's made me a more miserable person to know assholes like this walk among us. I almost think I'd be better off not knowing which of my acquaintances or distant relatives or their friends are total asshats.
I mean, I know some people say "It makes it easy to find out who the douches are," and I get that. But I'm just surprised at the quantity of douche out there this year. Gah.

Couldn't have said it better myself. I'm taking a breather from FB for the next couple of months, because every time I get on there, someone disappoints me with their utter douchiness.
