Man, it's all about safe spaces and rape culture these days, isn't it?

Heck none of us would.

Ever see “equilibrium” ? In that movie everything was plain, white or gray and the windows were covered with wax paper.
They did it to “eliminate emotional response”. But I think our future may look like that only instead of getting rid of emotion it will be to not offend anyone.

Any words of wisdom on the rape culture of islam?
Any why we are importing muslims whose religion tells them it is good to rape?

What he did was physical battery. And arguably sexual battery as well.

In 2012, a London-based blogger who uses the pseudonym Leopard wrote a provocative post on Crates and Ribbons
So one anonymous, snowflake blogger is offended by something that happened 70 years ago - and we're supposed to give a damn?
Figures that the story is published by the NY Daily News ... a veritable sewer of hatred and leftism.

Chase girls. The ones who like you will let you know. Ignore the SJW twits, their brainless and most aren’t who you’d want to date.

Look at the way her right leg is lifting. She was clearly enjoying the moment.

Good grief. Sooner or later, the SJWs who keep harping on junk like this will be fair game for some battery with a baseball bat.

More trashing of American history by the America-hating, commie libs. The commie piggies didn’t seem to have a problem 6 or 7 years ago when the Navy had two lesbians smooching at the dock when some ship returned back to port. They celebrated it and the “In Yo Face, America!” picture was vomited all over the news.

The movie "Watchmen", from the graphic novel "Watchmen", reimagines America with (mostly) normal people taking on the role of superheroes to fight urban crime, starting around 1940. One of the superheroes is a woman who uses the name The Silhouette and who dresses in black as a bit of a femme fatale.
In the movie, during the V-J Day celebration, the nurse in Times Square is in the street, very happy, and out of nowhere, The Silhouette appears, grabs the nurse, bends her back and kisses her. The camera flashes, and the two kissing women become immortalized. And just then, an oblivious Sailor saunters on by looking for someone to celebrate with. But no one notices that guy and he just passes on.
I suppose the journalist would not consider this movie scene to be rape. Its probably a consciousness-raising exercise is semiotic transference of the cultural gestalt between artistic mediums.
