dress that way to get attention and then mad when it comes... kinda crazy

Mayor of Cougartown

7/28/14 11:35am

Women don't always dress that way to "get attention". They might just want to

ByuImaginesDragons

7/28/14 11:58am

They may not be seeking that attention, but they shouldn't be surprised by it.

KingDave

7/28/14 12:04pm

Maybe not but they still don't deserve to be harassed.

ByuImaginesDragons

7/28/14 12:14pm

Agreed

KingDave

7/28/14 12:16pm

Not sexist AT ALL. If a dude showed up dressed like Hercules I'd assume he likes

Mayor of Cougartown

7/28/14 12:14pm

Maybe not. Maybe he just wants to be Hercules cause he likes him.

You are dressed in a speedo, people are going to look at you and

Mayor of Cougartown

Looking is okay. It's just natural to look at anything out of the

ByuImaginesDragons

7/28/14 12:25pm

How do you know they are dressing that way to get attention.

I don't care how a woman dresses-there is NEVER an excuse for a guy

If you're dressing up in a bizarre or unusual costume and going out in public

exactly

I disagree with the taking of pictures part.

And here I thought it was about equal rights.

I wish women would ogle me. I need to start dressing skimpier, I guess.

SoCalCoug

7/28/14 12:27pm

you only dress like this if you want ogled.... (CAUTION!!!)

Rape culture at its finest. Blame the victim not the perpetrator.

Nominated for Stupid Post of The Day. Good job Yewt!

John Doe

7/28/14 1:17pm

So you think we should blame the victim?

When she's the victim of ogling and she's wearing next to nothing? Yes.

KingDave

7/28/14 1:26pm

I would think that even ogling, it is more appropriate to blame

mpfunk

7/28/14 1:36pm

Taking pictures of scantily-dressed girls in public has nothing to do with rape.

John Doe

7/28/14 1:26pm

Rape culture is not rape. Rape culture, among other things, is perpetuating

mpfunk

7/28/14 1:31pm

Taking someone's picture =/= rape. Nor does it steal their soul. It's a picture.

John Doe

7/28/14 1:36pm

Where did I saw that it equal rape. I said it perpetuates rape culture.

mpfunk

7/28/14 1:37pm

toxic phrase. Find another word

cougarmanguy

7/28/14 1:39pm

No, I'll keep using the term that is used for this problem.

mpfunk

7/28/14 1:49pm

it is the wrong term, it is used too often and loses its meaning, it is indictin

cougarmanguy

7/28/14 1:54pm

It doesn't implicate every man in the rape of women.

mpfunk

7/28/14 2:00pm

that isn't what it means at all, or you wouldn't use the phrase "you are

cougarmanguy

7/28/14 2:03pm

Which has nothing to do with taking pictures of people in costume at Comicon

cheezedawg

7/28/14 2:09pm

Here is the example of rape culture, IMO

mpfunk

7/28/14 2:11pm

If it isn't inappropriate to take the pictures, then why blame at all?

cheezedawg

7/28/14 2:14pm

How about I walk around the bad part of town showing off my fancy watch,

KingDave

7/28/14 2:16pm

In short, you think a woman that is sexually assaulted

mpfunk

7/28/14 2:29pm

cheezedawg

The term "rape culture" is about as naive as they come.

whirl

7/28/14 2:20pm

In the comment that you just edited

KingDave

7/28/14 1:41pm

So you want to ban cameras? Or just pictures of people in public?

John Doe

7/28/14 1:46pm

you are a treat to be around for sure

cougarmanguy

7/28/14 1:36pm

Again, I'm not excusing actual crimes, but have you seen the way these

KingDave

7/28/14 1:40pm

How would drawing a scantily clad woman perpetuate rape culture?

mpfunk

7/28/14 1:50pm

Because guys are ogling and thinking inappropriate thoughts

KingDave

7/28/14 1:54pm

Cosplay is probably not the right place to make this argument.

kccougar

7/28/14 1:59pm

This is where I think it crossed the line into rape culture
