Are you a potential rapist?
I saw the exchange below on a newsgroup. Do you think all men are potential rapists? Is it slander to post the names of randomly selected men as potential rapists?

The students in the art class did not pick the names at random. The students "named every identifiable male in the student directory" The names were posted as potential rapists. This was a response to the increase in campus violence against women. > > When the named people protested at this apparent slander, the work was > defended philosophical grounds by the school administration. > > Do you feel that the students were sexist? (Does it depend on the > sex of the students involved?) The students did not say that the men were rapists, just that they were potential rapists. Which, if you think about it, is true--out of the male student body at UMD, I am sure that some of them are rapists. I would say that here at UMD there are approximately 15,000 men attending the school...so, anyone with statistics? > > Given that the students were women in a "feminist" art class, the names > they used for their "art" were all names of men, and the Poster read > "Notice: These Men are Potential Rapists" do you feel that the men > were slandered? > > Why or why not? > Tim > > Note: The facts are abstracted from a posting in soc.men... > The questions are mine. > > Disclaimer: I speak for NO organization. The names were not used for art. The list was used to start conversations about the high incidence of violence against women on this campus. I do not feel that the men were slandered. No one said that ALL of the men were indeed rapists, just pointing out that you may know someone who is a rapist. I don't think that I personally would have been involved with something like this...I don't think that it created much positive response. I believe that we should be more aware about potential rapists, and that more action should be taken against rapists. I just wanted to post something because I am currently attending the University of Maryland, and I wanted to clear up some things...Anna M. Winkler source |

Someone should put up a potential bitches list and put all of the female names on it. Make sure that the word bitch is in all caps. That shoudl piss the feminazis off.

This type of drivel is best ignored and not spread.

It is completely natural to murder, rape and steal what ever you want (or die trying). It is only societies' coditioning that curtails what would be a perfectly natural "psychopathic" state.

[/ QUOTE ] No. You are not allowed to use your account for posts other than the ones you have previously. Like the ones where Darwinism is in effect or not or w/e. Use your real account for other stuff. |
