101. The first thing you could do

Sun Jul 13, 2014, 06:50 PM

Jul 2014

and probably the best we could hope from you, is to never, never mention the subject again. Don't come into a thread and derail it away from a young girl's life to what you think is your more important point that rape really isn't that common. You could do your part by simply keeping your views to yourself. Clearly the lives of the hundreds of women on this site who have been raped are meaningless to you. No one here expects you to consider us as human beings who matter. I however would be very grateful if you stopped using threads on these heinous crimes as an excuse for your own agenda. Just keep out of them. If you must post about your resentment toward the women of the world who care about rape, do so in the men's group or one of the other websites you regularly visit where that stuff flies.
