This is just... f'ed up is not a strong enough word. It's not for the faint of heart, but I feel compelled to leave it un-LJ-cut.

Highlight: (or rather, lowlight)

pecunium:Ok, that's to address the issues of, "moral relativism."

VoxDay (a wretched example of blowhard given credence because he is extreme, and sadly one who is given a pulpit because his father is wealthy and there are too many who either think it amusing to see him foam at the mouth, or actually agree with him, said the following recently.

pecuniumThe problem isn't that VoxDay is so extreme, but that so many of his underlying mantra are still at large... women could avoid rape if they didn't provoke men being the most prominent.

Men could avoid rape by, avoiding rape. Those who advocate the punishment model could prevent rape by seeing to it that those who rape get convicted.

And those who favor either of those can prevent rape by smacking down idiots like VoxDay. It's a lot like playing whack-a-mole, but it needs to be done.


IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF MYSELF AND pecunium THAT SOME OF THE COMMENTS IN HIS ORIGINAL POST (SEE LINK) WERE INCORRECTLY ATTRIBUTED. SOME WERE MADE BY VOXDAY, SOME WERE MADE BY COMMENTERS.

APOLOGIES FOR THE INACCURACIES.

Quotes from Vox Day

[rex-little.livejournal.com]

Just to set the record straight, the statement about how difficult it is to rape a struggling, dry woman was not made by Vox himself, but by one of his readers--a woman. Still bullsh*t of course (and comments she made elsewhere in support of the statement only showed how badly her logic was flawed), but Vox isn't to blame for that one.

Not absolutely certain, but I think the paragraph above that was also a reader comment.
