I don’t know much about this lady but her tweets are so… skeevy.

I mean, to break it down, this is basically what she’s saying in that sponge bath one:

‘Is is true that you (Castiel) [an Angel who at the time was literally insane, who was in no fit mental state to give any form of consent, an Angel in a flipping mental hospital] 

and Meg [A Demon who, over the 8 seasons has repeatedly used sex as a tool for power and control, a Demon who by her very nature of being a Demon is fundamentally a rapist because she literally has to take over, use and abuse a human’s body without their consent so she can roam free on earth] 

bonded over sponge baths in the mental hospital?’

Susan can deny it all she wants but her mention of the sponge baths is clearly a sexual one. Think about it, how many cheap ass porno’s out there involve a hot man laying in a hospital bed and his sexy nurse comes in to give him a sponge bath which results in a happy ending. Add to this the fact that she was trying to make Misha laugh, then it’s pretty clear that she was using the sponge bath trope sexually.

So what she is essentially saying is ‘did the Demon, who is fundamentally a form of rapist, give the insane Angel who couldn’t possibly consent to sexual advances, a happy ending?’

(Sidenote I love Meg and her character so shh)

She just doesn’t get it. And neither does Ty Olsson, who added to the joke. People are disgusting.

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?

tarmachan:

Being unconcious is not consent.

If I stabbed someone who later woke up and pressed charges, I couldn’t say “sorry, they were unconcious so I thought they wanted to be stabbed, your honor” BECAUSE THAT’S NOT HOW FUCKING CONSENT WORKS

This is a good argument that I haven’t really heard used before when talking about sexual consent. Why don’t people apply their messed up logic to other crimes? I guess they assume that people want sex all the time, from whomever wants to have sex with them.

she couldn’t say no because she was completely blacked-out unconscious.

I repeat. She wasn’t even refusing consent, she LITERALLY DID NOT HAVE THE ABILITY CONSENT OR NOT CONSENT.

I had a teacher who said he dropped out of law school after becoming completely disheartened with the legal system while learning about consent laws, rape cases and rape defence. I completely empathize with him.

I’m glad this is getting a lot of attention. It’s disgusting.

Rape culture is telling a female celebrity she “should have worn underwear~” instead of confronting how it’s really fucked up that men can make a living by forcibly shoving camera lenses between young women’s legs every time they leave the house.

(via palematepolygamist)

I’ve never seen the movie Superbad, but I just saw a couple scenes that seemed to me to promote rape culture, so I did a quick Google search to see if that has been brought to light…I found one comment from a guy in which he says that it’s not rape if the woman was at a party and was not forced to drink the alcohol, because she knew that intoxication would lead to sex and that women get drunk so that men will want to have sex with them.

It’s a pretty classic justification of victim-blaming, but this seems to be on the more extreme side because he’s claiming to know the intentions of the women, instead of just claiming that her prior intentions stopped mattering when she chose to become intoxicated.

None of that is new. The reason I’m making this post is because I thought of a comparison (and I’m sure it’s been made before but whatever)…if I leave my door open, I am not consenting to be robbed. I’m making it a hell of a lot easier for someone to rob me, but if someone walks into my home and takes something, it’s still robbery. Heck, I see crime reports in my local newspaper every week of robberies of bicycles and things that were left in the front yard for hours. Someone might say to the victim “You were stupid to leave it outside/unattended/unlocked” but no one doubts that it’s a crime regardless, because everyone knows that the owner never said to the robber “You can have this.”

So why does that respect disappear when we talk about sexual assault and rape? Why do the decisions made by the victim prior to the crime suddenly matter? If a woman had her BIKE, something of little importance in the long run, stolen one afternoon after she left it unattended, people would sympathize and shake their heads at the selfishness present in society today, but if the woman had her BODY temporarily stolen that very night, those same people might shake their heads at the reckless behavior of young women nowadays.

Basically, they think people should know better when it comes to stealing $100 of property, but that teaching them to not steal the bodies of living people is hopeless. Therefore, in the latter situation, they blame the woman for not preventing the inevitable, in the same way that you should put sunscreen on if you’re going to be outside for hours.

Ugh.
