Linked Wisdom from Marna

 From commodorified's journal, I present the following links:

Men Asking Repeatedly Is Not Women's Fault

This one comes with a side of "talking about how you'd beat the crap out of a rapist isn't actually useful or helpful".  One of the many off-shoots of the OSBP deal.  I'm working on my own post on that, but I'm also trying to get laundry done, so it may not happen tonight.

And, in a link that the fabulous commodorified proivided, synecdochic is talking about That Guy (and why he's such a problem).

DV (yes, I finally figured out how to get words for the links!)

Re: My 2 cents. Will change be forthcoming?

I wasn't so much referring to the actual act of beating the hell out of rapists (though I'd bet you money, that mukhtar would do just that, if he interupted a rape in progress.) but the expression of "wanting to beat the hell of those guys" i.e. those who abuse women.

That struck me as useful.

But yes, watching out for the women around you, is a Very Good Thing. I'm not surprised he does that.

It is one of the reasons that I love him.
