whether du men defending rape porn, or these men, the underlining issue is the total dismissal of

the rape vcitim.

these men go onto a site for rape victims and totally dismiss their painful experience to promote their agenda.

the people defending the rape porn did it at the expense of every woman on du that experienced rape.

even when brought to their attention that the rape victim reads about men getting off on rape, rape that is made to look as real as rape, with the understanding all the rape victims experiences is an opportunity for these men to get off, and not ONE, not ONE took a minute to consider their argument from a rape victims perspective, listening to men say how grand "simulated" rape is for their entertainment.

a man has to totally dismiss the rape victim.

so when the same men tell us, that rape is a horrible thing and they have empathy, many of us will dismiss that statement cause we just do not believe these men have any desire or ability to understand the womans experience.

and for this subject to drop, the three threads i have seen in GD, lets us know that once agenda, the bottomline in dismissing the victim of rape is very very real, even here on du.
