Would you be okay if she was a Southern white woman saying those things to a young black woman? Is vile verbal harassment okay because at least it isn't rape? Really?

And I personally find the notion that women can't be considered responsible for their own bad behavior to be incredibly misogynistic in itself. That's just my opinion though. I'm sure you'll explain to me why I'm wrong.
