Now, while it is my opinion that all males are rapists, I also think the focus of many liberal white feminists on “date rape” is extremely self-serving.

That blog post gets even better when you read the comments.
They're *all* insane and drunk on misandry. One of the comments is from a mother of three boys - she won't let them do anything together for fear that they'll rape each other.
There simply are no words to describe this schism from reality.
We should look into this statement deeper, it has certain consequences Margaret didn't really think through.
"all males are rapists" - therefore, the vast majority of sexual acts on this planet is a rape. Therefore, rape should be socially accepted behavior.
Seems like Margaret is a female version of the love-shy forums crowd.
I've read this blog before. Not only do they hate men (especially gay men for some reason), but they also hate feminists who aren't hardcore enough for them, trans people, and straight women.
The kicker? One of the authors of the blog is married. To a man.
If only we could arrange a conference for these people, then double book it with one for the "love-shy" crowd.
Two birds. One stone. Win.
Yeah, I guess complaining about being beat up and forced to have sex against your will would be "self-serving". I suppose the Jews who complained about being led to the ovens were "self-serving", too. You'd think they'd have been more understanding of the Nazi point of view; but no, it was just "me, me, me"! [/sarcasm]
John, this women aren't just arguing against rape. They are just ranting about how every male ever is a rapist, how families are an institutionalized rape center and why they should be able to keep their kids away from every single male for their entire lives. Even the kid's father.
It is about as a valid argument as everything in Love-Shy. Prejudice, ignorance, bias and stupidity are present in both genders.
Margaret, that 'roomofyourown' wouldn't happen to have the lock on the outside of the door, would it?
Oh, and as the mother of two beautiful sons and wife of a gentle husband, I'd like to ask that you direct yourself to the nearest fire post-haste, perchance to die in it. Thank you.
Margaret, do you hold that opinion based on some evidence, or, like a religious fundamentalist, because it's something that you want to believe to be true and so have faith in the belief because it suits some sort of emotional need within you?
On behalf of females I'd like to apologise to my male brethren for Margaret. Women with functioning brain cells know that not all men are rapists ffs!
On behalf of females with functioning brain cells I'd like to apologise for Margaret. We're not sure how she escaped her cell but we'll have her back in a jiff.
The general gist of this article is that all men are rapists, therefore white women that go on dates with men were asking to be raped. The only way to protect yourself from rape is to totally separate yourself from males.
And I love this line from Margaret's bio, "I hate males of all ages, colors, and sizes."
Beautiful.
This is just sick. There's no way I would ever try to force a woman to have sex against her will.
Enjoy being lonely the rest of your life, Margaret, and when you get older have fun being the crazy cat lady.
Now, while it is my opinion that all males are rapists
Even the virgins? And the eunuchs? Interesting, I'd love to know by what logic. I also find this extremely offensive.
aroomofourown : a blog made by racist, sexist black women, for racist, sexist black women, against racist, sexist white men anyone that isn't a racist, sexist black (African American) woman.
"Now, while it is my opinion that all males are rapists"
I'll submit to a criminal background check. I got the occasional library fine and two parking tickets over the course of a lifetime.
Yeah, I'll echo the call for a Sexists Say the Darndest Things section. Statements like this and those from love-shy belong here to be made fun of, but it's an ill fit in any of the three existing categories.
(Although you could elide "Racists" and replace it with "Bigots.")
Just been flicking through that site and I don't think I've seen a single dissenting view in the comments. Every comment that I assume was one has been edited and replaced with a stupid YouTube video, and accusations that it was written by men who want them to 'bow down and suck [their] dick'.
And they talk about 'self-serving'.
The only rape my boyfriend has ever been involved in was play-acting in order to satisfy some of my more unpleasant kinks. In other words, not real rape.
I mean, if you want to count me asking him to talk dirty to me and force himself on me, then I'm sure a lot of women are "rapists" who weren't considered rapists before.
So all men are rapists unless they rape liberal white feminists, huh? Let me guess, they were asking for it.
Here's your dunce cap. Go to the back of the line.
Some of those comment have got to be from trolls or Poes. Can there really be that many women out there who think like this?
Pedantic Twit
I feel sorry for her sons. They're going to wind up in the therapist's office for sure.

I'm down for that.

I've read this blog before. Not only do they hate men (especially gay men for some reason), but they also hate feminists who aren't hardcore enough for them, trans people, and straight women.
The kicker? One of the authors of the blog is married. To a man.
Did my old women's studies prof find the blog? Really, if they hate men, why marry them at all?
Wow, I guess that my father and brother must be veritable saints, then, since they haven't raped anybody. Neither has every single other man or boy that I know.
Did something happen to you when you were younger, Margaret? Did your father or brother (assuming you had one) rape you? Did a boyfriend rape you? Did a man that you knew and trusted take advantage of you and abuse you, thus tainting and destroying your faith in men?
If so, then your views become a little bit more understandable, but are still repugnant. Most men are good, decent people, just like most women are. Throwing sweeping, insulting generalizations at an entire group because it contains some bad apples is unjust and reprehensible. I really don't know how you conduct your daily life if you truly believe that all men are rapists.
Translation: While liberal white feminists may be feminists I am more oppressed than thou, bow, scrape and sayeth "we're not worthy." P.S. all men are bastards, gawd I'm original.
(hangs head) Please shut up, Margaret. Not only are you wrong, but you give idiots an excuse not to listen to feminists you know, the ones that actually have a point.
This is her about the author page.
Basically if you aren't a black female lesbian like Margaret, she hates you and probably wants you dead. The only exceptions would be her co-blogger Kitty and the commenters that fully agree with her f***ed up thinking.
@Kat
You're quite right, here she has a go at white lesbians
"when a rich white able-bodied thin lesbian declares a love for “lesbians,” what she’s really doing is declaring a love for other rich white able-bodied thin lesbians, without making explicit that which would expose her as the classist, racist, able-ist, shape-ist bigot rich white able-bodied thin straight women are much more readily recognized as."

Wow, somebody can't get laid. Hey Marge, the reason why nobody is attracted to you is because you're a nasty, misanthropic, small-minded shell of a woman. If you stopped referring to gay men as "faggots", and stopped hating on trans people, straight women, men, feminists who aren't hardcore enough for you, and everyone who you disagree with, you might not be so lonely anymore.
Several women I care about have been raped for real by men who slipped them drugs, took advantage of their unconscious state, or just forced themselves upon them. You're free to your own opinion, but mine is "Fuck you, you distortionist lunatic."
WORDS MEAN THINGS.
"while it is my opinion that all males are rapists"
This is actually not a matter of opinion, it's a statement of (supposed) fact, which can be checked against available evidence for accuracy. I hate it when people use the word "opinion" that way.
But I would bet money that the Roomies (to coin a phrase) would say that the concept of empirical evidence and rational investigation of reality are patriarchal constructions to try to exert hegemonic control over the discourse.
As a real feminist who sees women and men as equals (no more, no less),
no, a FEMINIST thinks women are superior. hence FEMINIST rarther than "equal rights activist."
back to the main quote, all men are rapists, what about gays, virgins? what about all the ones that NEVER RAPED ANYONE? huh?
to be a rapist you need to have raped someone, its kinda the point retard.
"An anti-feminist who is also misandric? Interesting."
Not really. Many anti-feminists are rape apologists, which is a misandric concept.
"Now, while it is my opinion that all males"
MEN. Men, not males, unless you want to be called "females."
"are rapists"
Stop right there, you rape-trivializing, man-hating batshit.
"I also think the focus of many liberal white feminists on “date rape” is extremely self-serving."
...WAT?
Now, while it's my opinion that you are a bitch, I also think that you are a pathetic, miserable whiner. Good day to you.
Now, while it is my opinion that all males are rapists
I'll happily submit to a background check. You'll find a few late library books, a few bar brawls that I now regret and that I taught self-defence to college girls for a while but you won't find a single incident of sexual violence.
Ideal for patriarchy and sex wars: "feminists" promoting the hatred of men while at the same time fighting against the progress of actual feminism. Afterall, if you're so affraid of men, you're locked back in the kitchen and are under patriarchy control. Frivolous rape libel.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
