Chronicles of Rape
Speaking on rape and that he thinks it’s wrong and that it’s never the person’s fault for being raped. Talks about the video he made recently about being drunk and rape.
Original video title: “Rape Is Bad Mmmkay?”
No, you mother fucking shit stain. You have NOT made this very very clear. Your constant insistence on making people take responsibility for their own actions prior to being raped, and making excuses for rapists, specifically says that you think that some rape is justified. Your belittlement of some forms of rape vs other forms of rape (something not being rape rape) proves your ignorance to the subject and how damaging comments like those are. Your desire to speak OVER rape victims and then get angry at them when they tell you that you did it wrong, instead of listening to them and allowing them to speak, shows a complete lack of sensitivity to them, and a complete lack of desire to actually understand and aid people who have been victimized.
You want to make the rape of other people all about you. Guess what, Greg, YOUR opinion on what has happened to OTHER PEOPLE does not trump THEIR experiences. When rape victims come to you and say, “Listen, Greg, I have been raped, and comments like the ones you made were what shamed me into silence, and stopped me from reporting it,” and then you get mad at them for requesting that you alter your shitty behavior, YOU ARE NOT HELPING RAPE VICTIMS, YOU ARE HURTING THEM! You are taking a selfish approach to rape advocacy, making your feelings the only ones that matter. You just want to be applauded for being anti-rape, without actually being anti-rape.
YOUR OPINIONS ARE IGNORANT.
YOUR OPINIONS ARE STEREOTYPICAL AND BIASED.
YOUR OPINIONS ARE THE TYPES OF OPINIONS THAT JUSTIFY DATE RAPE AND BASICALLY ALL FORMS OF RAPE THAT AREN’T STRANGER IN A DARK ALLEY RAPE.
YOUR OPINIONS ARE PROBLEMATIC AT BEST, DANGEROUS AT WORST.
YOUR OPINIONS ARE NOT. FUCKING. NEEDED.
The only thing that you have made clear in your series of “anti-rape” videos is that you know nothing about rape besides what you see on cop shows. You’ve made it clear that you have no intention to actually educate yourself, and that the only thing you think you need to know about rape is what you’ve concocted in that thick skull of yours. You’ve made it clear that you don’t give a shit if you hurt rape victims further, and perpetuate myths and stereotypes that make their struggles worse.
Anyone can say they’re against rape. But to actually understand rape, educate yourself and speak on it intelligently, and take a back-mother-fucking-seat while the actual rape victims talk, that’s a lot more difficult. Especially for a narcissist like you who thinks of his own opinions as the ultimate truth.
The only video I EVER want to see from you about rape again is one that says, “I now realize that I am far too ignorant and inexperienced to speak about rape any further. I’m sorry for any pain I caused to rape victims with my words that further victimized them. I will no longer talk about the subject, but rather redirect you to experts on the topic, such as articles, documentaries, and first hand accounts of how rape and rape culture affect victims. I was wrong to assume that I knew everything about a topic with which I have no education in and no training about how to approach. I acted insensitively and I hope that I have not influenced anyone to commit an act of rape due to my justification of their actions.”
Until you make that video, Greg, I’m going to keep talking about how wrong you are. That’s MY freedom of speech in action. If you don’t like people calling you out on your bullshit, ABSORB THE CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM YOU ARE GIVEN, GROW, LEARN, AND STOP PUTTING YOUR FOOT IN YOUR MOUTH!
Again, YOUR OPINION IS NOT NEEDED!
And if I seem a bit angry about this, it’s because I am sick and tired of slut shaming, victim blaming, and the perpetuation of harmful, hateful stereotypes that justify victimization. I can’t be patient with Onision anymore. He’s displayed nothing but willful ignorance when the truth is staring him directly in the face. He is a sick individual and it baffles me that youtube PAYS HIM to spout this hate speech.
I hope the money you make off these videos is worth it to you Greg. I hope you sleep like a baby knowing that you are profiting off other people’s pain. You have such a unique opportunity to help people, but all you do is hurt them.

I watched a video recently called The War on Women, in which an MRA illustrates the point that using the term “war” in regards to recent attempts by various government officials to revoke the rights that women currently hold is an exaggeration, and an insult to all the men who have fought, died, and been drafted in wars. While I shouldn’t have to mention that, as it stands currently women can and do fight and die in wars (and have a high likelihood of being raped by their fellow soldiers while enlisted), and that nobody is being drafted, apparently those women don’t count. Additionally, this video chooses to ignore the innocent bystanders, many of which happen to be women, as well as the female nurses who have always been in harms way while serving their country.
Regardless, I found it interesting that a group that so frequently equates feminists with Nazis chose this word choice to start getting touchy. Are feminists placing men into concentration camps and gas chambers, shooting them at gun ranges, and trying to eliminate men from the world? I can say with full confidence that they are not, and, even the most radical feminists with the most hateful viewpoints on men, are not operating in a manner that even comes close to the actions of the Nazis. Yet the term feminazi lives on, and is used regularly as a part of the MRA’s vocabulary. So while using the word “war” minimizes the sacrifice and suffering of the men, specifically, who have served in the military, the casual use of the word Nazi as a dig at the women who dare stand up for themselves is completely appropriate, to the point in coming up with lists to demonstrate the similarities in extremist opinions, which could absolutely be applied to the extremists within their own movement. No hypocrisy there folks!
Finally, I link you to a clip on the Daily Show that happened to be 100% appropriate considering my recently having come across this video. At least somebody gets it, and can illustrate just how absurd this video is in a way that I can also laugh at. I don’t see MRA’s making videos protesting the use of “The War On Christmas,” do I?
Acknowledging that anyone of any gender can be assholes and do shitty things to each other (and their children)
Acknowledging that in reality most people aren’t assholes and treat people they interact with decently.
Acknowledging that a small percentage of the population are rapists (and that most of these rapists have penises) and that a larger percentage of the population are victims of rapists (of all ages and genders though having a vagina and/or being a child increases the likelihood and it’s possible to be both a victim and go on to victimize others)
Acknowledging that the majority of reported rapes are not false and they also have a dismal rate of prosecution and conviction, worse if the victim is an adult and/or knew the rapist. This does not mean that all reports of rape are accurate (witnesses aren’t always reliable especially when they’re the victim) or have sufficient evidence for conviction but that they should all be taken as seriously and investigated as thoroughly as any other serious crime.
Acknowledging that out current system for supporting children whose parents have split up or were never a serious couple to start with is not ideal BUT the needs and rights of children have to come before the feelings and anger of the parents. Children are people not property and should be treated as such.
Acknowledging that everyone should be treated and evaluated as an individual for things such as jobs. Most women aren’t cut out to be firefighters but most men aren’t either. The spectrum of human abilities and talents is huge and not divided equally among men and women, and individual person can fall anywhere on that spectrum and people should be hired on their merits and nothing else. That everyone should be paid the same for the same work once experience/time on the job/etc is taken into consideration.
Acknowledging that all parents, regardless of gender, should be treated equally by their employers and given the same opportunities for parental/family leave and not punished for having children or getting married."

“’..and happily have sex with my husband whenever HE wants to.’
Yeah. This line got me too. It’s amazing that most women feel this way. They treat sex as though they are the only ones giving something in the exchange.
As if they get no sexual pleasure from the experience.
My uncle once told me a joke. He said, “Who enjoys sex the most, women or men?”
Of coarse being young and programmed, I said, “Men.”
My uncle laughed and said, “Take your finger and put it in your ear and wiggle it around. Which feels better, your finger or your ear?”
That was my first red pill.”
How the hell can they compare a finger to a dick and an ear to a vagina? There are no physical sensations in the finger, which is completely different than a dick. And, for many women, they can’t come from vaginal penetration alone, but clitoral stimulation…. cue dozens of men calling this an amazing comparison… WHAT? I’m not pretending that the myth that women don’t enjoy sex isn’t a myth, because for many it completely is a myth. But to use this comparison as a reason why women somehow get more out of it and to use it as an example of male oppression… WHAT? And then we have men jealous of women who have multiple orgasms (as if men don’t have to option of having sex more than once in a night) as a natural form of oppression. Not all women can have orgasms, especially not multiple orgasms. A much larger percentage of men can have orgasms regularly. But women have the upper hand in sex? What is this nonsense?
But how can I really expect thought provoking commentary in the section of an article that is so clearly inane to begin with?

Ok, my response to that video I have been angry about has finally loaded. It’s long as hell. But hopefully I did the subject some justice.
I took some time last night to counter a Men’s Right’s Activist on youtube because I dunno, I’m a masochist? Anyways, I made point after point, countering their bullshit arguments. So what happened? The video creator gave me a bunch of weak, easily refutable retorts, and then BLOCKED ME so that, I dunno, it would appear as if he was correct and had school me? I had nothing to come back with? WEAK! I called his ass on not being brave enough to date a feminist because he was afraid of being wrong… looks like I was right.
Please, fill this guy in on how wrong he is. It’s pathetic and sickening. Dude is a fool.
Good lord, this dude in my comments section is batshit. But this is a video version of a post I made before about slut shaming.
Nice Man - makes dinner because he’s an adult and the adults in the household do chores because food is necessary for not dying.
“Nice Guy” - makes dinner because he wants you to fuck him.
Nice Man - puts you in bed after you’ve had too much to drink because people who care about one another behave in compassionate ways. Plus maybe the next day he can make fun of you a little.
“Nice Guy” - puts you in bed after you’ve had too much to drink because he wants you to fuck him the next day. He wants a cookie for not raping you, and that cookie is sex.
Nice Man - listens to your problems when you’ve had a bad day because you do the same for him. Grown-up adults can listen! Who knew? You may even have sex with your Nice Man because he is awesome and cares about your brain in addition to your vadge.
“Nice Guy” - listens to your problems when you’ve had a bad day because he wants you to fuck him. Behind your back, he bemoans the fact that you can talk in words and won’t just shut up and open your legs.
Nice Man - knows that true respect is the only way to love and a successful relationship.
“Nice Guy” - can’t understand why he doesn’t have a relationship. He thinks pretending to listen and begrudgingly not raping someone is respect. He thinks that bitches only fall for assholes. This must not be true, for he whines that women aren’t falling all over themselves to date him, an asshole.
Nice Man - understands that “bitches” is derogatory and calls women “women,” like they are grown-up human adults. Radical!
OMG! YES! THIS!
(via face--the--strange)
“Nice guys” are just assholes who lack confidence.
I wish I was this smart at 13
