I have some issues with that post. In spite of her roundabout way of saying that not all guys are like that, her tone betrays her thoughts. Her tone would indicate that (push come to shove) it would be rare for a guy to NOT go down that path, and I find that pretty damned offensive. She wonders where the stories are? They don't get told because, quite frankly, *not* raping someone shouldn't be something you have to brag on.
as to redstapler's comment, I have several times thrown people over my shoulder (or otherwise picked them up - Ro just was NOT going over my shoulder) quite without permission. That isn't anywhere near the same ballpark. To be fair, none were strangers and I was quite certain that none would be offended by my action (even if, especially in Ro's case, they were rather afraid).
markmade is right that there really is that sweeping generalisation in the post.
I wonder, how would cereta react to my assertion that Megan's Law (in all its various forms) should be tossed out. Would she listen to my reasoning? Or would she respond with accusations that I'm marginalizing sexual assault.
