If you are a woman and a feminist who dares to express an opinion, especially that women are neither liars en masse nor greedy whores, and even more so that rape is the act of and responsibility of rapists, you tend to get two broad classes of trolls, which themselves break down into subclasses: the polite ones and the ones who hate women, whether or not they think it' s a joke to hate women. They both hate women, obviously, but the one group thinks if they're polite it doesn't count. Polite woman-haters believe that women have sex with men and 'then change their minds later', falsely charge rape for funsies, or do any number of things which---much like the rapist in the alley fantasy---make no sense at all. Yet people cling to these things, and don't fight them. In fact, they fight women like me, who in turn want to point out that if you think women have to be vigilant at all times, then you're painting a picture of a world where rapists are so common that any distinction between men and rapists is effectively useless, and that's your argument, not mine. Don't blame me if you didn't think it through.
Here's some of the trolls for this week, from my blog.
You probably think I'm a 13 year old future rapist. But you are wrong. I am actually 100 years old and I have never raped anyone in my life even though I have thousands of hours of fake rape porn that I jack off to every second of every minute of every hour of every day of my existence. And also I keep a bunch of wymyn chained in my basement, but unfortunately for you it's all consentual and they tell me how consentual it is every time I go fuck them by screaming YES YES YES so go fuck yourself you repulsive hambeast.
There are adult men who talk this way, by the way. They think it's witty. They think it's witty because they believe---much like racist whites believe of black people----that justice has gone too far, the tables have turned, etc., etc., etc.,--and those who were on the bottom are now on top, wreaking their revenge. They want to believe this, they have to believe this, because as a society we've at least come far enough to realize that this kind of language is kicking someone when they're down, and that anybody who does that is a bully and a coward. Thus, the jarring phenomenons one sees on a cruise around the web: white guys who complain that black people get their pick of jobs first, men who complain that women rule the world, (where's my check?!), and so on. Like a festering wound, this hostility bursts forth, and yet a slow boil is more common, in the way that groups of disparate men unite to agree on stereotypes of women: women lie about rape. Women are foolish, stupid, get themselves raped. And so on. And forever.
