“She Wasn’t Conscious So She Technically Didn’t Say No” Is The New Defense In Rape Cases

I’ve tried to be quiet about the Steubenville rape case but I can no longer keep my mouth shut. A sixteen-year-old girl found out she was raped, multiple times, when she went on to her social media and saw pictures of her unconscious body being carted by two boys. She texted the boys and others from the party and was met with ‘you wanted it’ type responses. In fact one of her rapists told her he looked out for her and if she told anyone what happened he, “would never do anything nice for you again.” It was so nice to put your fingers inside her while she was unconscious in the backseat of a car while someone else filmed it. Good looking out, bro. Or wait, maybe he was referring to the time he tried to make her give him a blowjob in the basement while others watched and testified she “wasn’t into it”.

The boys took her from party to party where they (and others) raped her. I’m not putting “allegedly” in there because they did it. There is photographic evidence of it and recently someone has testified that they even recorded some it on their cellphone.
This case has gotten a lot of attention because Anonymous, the hacktivist group, hacked into some social accounts and uncovered a video in which a few football players, including both suspects, were joking about the incident. Here are some choice quotes:

“He’s puttin’ a wang in the butthole, dude.”

“They peed on her. That’s how you know she’s dead, because someone pissed on her.”

“They raped her harder than that cop raped Marcellus Wallace in Pulp Fiction.”

“They raped her quicker than Mike Tyson raped that one girl.”

“They raped her more than the Duke Lacrosse team.”

“Her puss is about as dry as the sun right now.”

“It isn’t really rape because you don’t know if she wanted to or not.”

As disgusting as that is, what’s worse is the defense for these cocksuckers. The defense is, “it was not rape because she was unconscious therefore she didn’t SAY no.” ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!? That’s the defense? That’s what we’re calling a “defense”?!!? Those lawyers should be brought up on charges of their own. Half the people in that town are SUPPORTING the rapists. I don’t care if she was a “party girl” I don’t care if they play football THEY RAPED SOMEONE.

It’s disgusting, it’s frustrating, it’s infuriating and I hope those boys find themselves in jail where they meet a lovely cell mate that will be “puttin’ a wang in a the butthole, dude”. I hope those lawyers have daughters that drink too much at a party one night and they see pictures of her unconscious with two men dragging her to the back room where they will “rape her harder than that cop raped Marcellus Wallace in Pulp Fiction”. I hope that half of that town find themselves at a party with the Duke Lacrosse team.

When will it stop? When will men learn that women are not their property? When will men learn DO NOT RAPE?

On Sunday, March 17th 2013 these two men were found guilty of rape. They were tried as juveniles and received minimum 1 and 2 year sentences, respectfully the maximum time they will spend in a juvenile detention center is 5 years. It will be up to the center to decided their release and they will get credit for all time served. The only punishment that they received that I found fitting to the crime is: they will have to register as sex offenders for the rest of their life. Good, because that is exactly what they are.

An Open Letter to Girls Who Are Dressing Up for Halloween

photo of sexy halloween cat pic
Hey Girl,

I know how exciting Halloween is; it’s my favorite holiday. I know that sometimes you want to feel sexy and you want attention but I implore you …don’t dress like a hooker this Halloween. If you want to be a bumblebee—be a bumblebee … bumblebees don’t wear mini skirts. Let’s be honest, anything you dress up as this Halloween: a cat, a witch, Bo Peep, a referee, a vampire, Alice in Wonderland, that Hunger Games chick … it’s all really just a hooker in disguise, isn’t it?

Also, please don’t ever dress up as a cat and go out in public over the age of five. Why would you do that? Why would you wear a costume that actually allows people to come up and say, “nice pu**y” or “can I pet your “p***y” or any variance of that? You’re better than that. You need to know this.

And before it gets out of hand, I’m not slut-shaming. I’m not. I’m worried about you. October is an autumn month, and that’s the season that leads into winter. That means it’s cold (because we live north of the equator) and you shouldn’t be wearing less fabric than a washcloth. You don’t need to be a sexy criminal, a sexy Santa, or a sexy mad hatter to get noticed. If you really want to get noticed, wear pants. Trust me, this works. I wear pants every Halloween and everyone notices me. I stick out like a sore thumb.

Really, Halloween has grown and evolved into a scary holiday to include ghosts, ghouls, goblins, demons, witches etc. None of that should be sexy, because sexy is not scary. Halloween is made to scare, and the only thing scary about you is the fact that you will very probably contract HPV or herpes that night. Stop trying to turn Halloween into a whorish holiday. I won’t let it happen. I won’t stand for it. You can dress like Courtney Stodden any other day of the year and I won’t say a word (to your face) but not on Halloween. Unless you are going as Courtney Stodden (though it’s in poor taste to go as a victim of child molestation), then there’s no excuse. Although, come to think of it, she is terrifying so I guess that could be your loophole.

Think about it.

Happy Halloween,

Nicole

The Secret and Scandalous Contents of January Jones’s Womb is Everyone’s Business

When the beautiful January Jones announced her pregnancy on April 28th, most people assumed the father was her former short-lived boyfriend, SNL’s Jason Sudeikis. However, Sudeikis gave some kind of fumbly, stuttering interview where he confirmed that he knew about her pregnancy, but not much more and speculation moved on to consider the next likely option: that January Jones had slept with one of her X-Men co-stars. A mere week later, the gossip mill was convinced that it hadn’t just been Fassbender or some other unattached lead, it must be …

Angry Feminists Against Caitlin Flanagan Are Right and Defensive Too

A few days ago, I was going through the piles and piles of books I own, trying to decide which ones to get rid of. Of course, the lady-books stay, but occasionally I’d come across one I just wasn’t quite sure about. Though I let go of a lot of fallen soldiers, much of my mental controversy seemed to be centered around one book in particular, Caitlin Flanagan’s To Hell with All That: Loving and Loathing Our Inner Housewife . This incident is only important in that it mirrors the recent hubbub over Flanagan’s latest incendiary piece about the Duke “Fuck List,” which both Sophia and I wrote about. Why does a woman …
