She said:<BR/><BR/><I>In this approximately thousand-word article, the word rape appears three times, and the words murder, homicide, abducted, and disemboweled appear once each. One of the section headers says, ominously, "70,000 Date Rapes a Year". Those, I guess, are the "barroom risks" of which the article title speaks, as opposed to, say, the people who commit the acts—people who might also be drinking at "ladies' nights," in spite of not being ladies. The acts/risks are referenced abstractly, as if they are somehow eternal, like God maybe. Before man and woman, there was Rape, and Rape said, "Let there be life so that I might ruin it."</I><BR/><BR/>And then awarded herself the "Soberest Fuckhole" trophy.<BR/><BR/>I think that she pulls off humor and rape well, although the humor resembles nothing like the light-hearted "rape is a compliment!" bullshit that comedians like to pass off as legitimate comic material.Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05333226493312516551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730657139931062421.post-47319313889328641292008-05-14T11:35:00.000-05:002008-05-14T11:35:00.000-05:00All of the girls on the site are white, too.

Mocking other's concern about women's rights by mocking their concern for child brides isn't satire, it's just a cruel attempt at humor at someone else's expense.habladorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01730183259272125337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730657139931062421.post-80613463367073474862008-05-14T07:17:00.000-05:002008-05-14T07:17:00.000-05:00I'm all for satire that's well done - when it's no...I'm all for satire that's well done - when it's not, it's not funny and just a smudge on all the examples of really smart satire.lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13285797515594923013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730657139931062421.post-83088062431730756412008-05-14T02:33:00.000-05:002008-05-14T02:33:00.000-05:00It's like bonsai kitten all over again.

No, but I'm sure someone will say that I am, or claim my "intent" was to say that, or whatever they want, with their infinite "feminist psychic powers".<BR/><BR/>However, that's not what I'm saying.
