[QUOTE="Janx, post: 6178647, member: 8835"] You're not wrong, but without my lawyer to make my posts for me, there is no brief way to make my point and cover these exclusionary factors. And lawyerese is never brief. In the right venue, you're absolutely right. Men all over the planet should stand against rape. But in the context of some web comic making a joke that references rape, it is not that venue. Nobody's actually being shamed or condoning rape, in such a forum, and thus raising a pitchfork mob is not acceptable reaction. There is a type of person who feels the need to rally a mob over the slightest insult. The Simpson's stereotypical woman who cries "Will somebody think of the Children?!" or the very thesis of the South Park movie. Those people suck. Instead of tearing down Paula Dean's career and overuse of butter, how about actually working to stop the real racists, the KKK. Instead of jumping on PA's arse, how about working to solve India's treatment of women. [/QUOTE]
