Feminist Internet: Men Proposing to Women Is Rape Culture [Not a Satire]
National Review ^ | March 4, 2016 | Katherine Timpf

Posted on 03/06/2016 7:37:20 AM PST by C19fan

According to a piece in the feminist blog Bustle, the tradition of men proposing women is “problematic” because it “perpetuates rape culture.” Yes — not “problematic” because it perpetuates recklessly emotional social media posts, but because it “perpetuates rape culture.”

I can say I have experienced some the madness that accompanied the French or Russian Revolution. The whole white as a symbol of purity is a historical nonsense. Queen Victoria made white fashionable and she chose white to save money. It was only after that fashion trend spread did someone come up with the purity symbolism.

Gee, everything relating to man/woman relations is somehow part of rape culture; somehow part of dominance or power plays or such.

It seems this is where we are. At least per leftists.

It’s stories like this that make me just shrug my shoulders and laugh.

This viewpoint is held by .0000000000001% of the female population.

Besides, the women who believe this are the type no sane man will ever propose to anyways

Isn’t marriage itself part of rape culture?? I thought somebody has said that in marriage, the woman is owned by the husband, she takes his name, loses her identity, all of that, to be subservient to him.

sarcasm.....

Rush Limbaugh’s Undeniable Truths:
#24. Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women access to the mainstream of society.

Most women that think like this do not have sex with men. However, their relationships with women are often abusive.

However, I work in a hospital and know a few gay nurses. They appear very normal with the exception of their choice in partners.

First it’s ask, get consent.

Now it’s “Don’t ask!”

All I can say is that with all their howling, modernist feminists are endorsing an auditorial rape culture.

Rape Culture?

Well, Sweetie, if you don’t like Western Culture, why not move to Afghanistan? They would be happy to more accurately define “Rape Culture” for you.

The USSR actually said that at one time. However, they used that notion in order to promote their own rape culture, where they had the notion of "nationalizing" women:
Beginning with March 1, 1919, the right to possess women between the ages of 17 and 32 is abolished... this decree, however, not being applicable to women who have five children.... By virtue of the present decree no woman can any longer be considered as private property and all women become the property of the nation.... The distribution and maintenance of nationalized women, in conformity with the decision of responsible organizations, are the prerogative of the group of Saralof anarchists.... All women thus put at the disposition of the nation must, within three days after the publication of the present decree, present themselves in person at the address indicated and provide all necessary information....

Any man who wishes to make use of a nationalized woman must hold a certificate issued by the administrative Council of a professional union, or by the Soviet of workers, soldiers or peasants, attesting that he belongs to the working class.... Every worker is required to turn in 2% of his salary to the fund.... Male citizens not belonging to the working class may enjoy the same rights provided they pay a sum equivalent to 250 French francs, which will be turned over to the public fund.... Any women who by virtue of the present decree will be declared national property will receive from the public fund a salary equivalent to 575 French francs a month....

Any pregnant woman will be dispensed of her duties for four months before and three months after the birth of the child.... One month after birth, children will be placed in an institution entrusted with their care and education. They will remain there to complete their instruction and education at the expense of the national fund until they reach the age of seventeen....

All those who refuse to recognize the present decree and to cooperate with the authorities shall be declared enemies of the people, anti-anarchists, and shall suffer the consequences.
That is the ultimate goal, in light of the Manifesto's "abolition of the family". Any leftist who claims otherwise is a liar.

Hey, low IQ marshmallow majors need an internet outlet to vent their frustrations created by realizing that virtually everything useful to humanity has passed them by.

Agreed...but it is the laws they want to pass in a PC culture which is truly frightening. They might just get their way. If you’ve never Googled “redfem”, give it a shot, be prepared though!!!

I have grown kids, divorced and have gone MGTOW. I STILL get hit on by women in public, so now I won’t go out to even the store until either opening or 15 minutes to closing, or I take a friend with me as a witness. In today’s world sadly you must cover yourself in every way possible against women and a potential rape or abuse allegation.
The women can thank feminism for not getting a man today.

I thought no the woman that talk a out rape culture have very likely been victims of sexual abuse and are prone ting their trauma on to everybody else. The ones who say that all “PIV” sex (penis in vagina) is rape strike me S being especially likely to have been victimized.

Sorry for the garbled statement above. It happens when I’m I’m texting rather than typing. Hope my point came through though.

Everything a man (especially a conservative) does perpetuates "rape culture" according to these harlots.

Feminists are extremely easy to Sokal, though. Were I to make a very rough guess, I'd say that about 15% of articles on feminist websites are written by devious pranksters who are bamboozling clueless editors, like this guy.
