I'm sure all the women (or this specific woman in particular) are all like, "Rape is GOOOOOOOD!" Sorry, Charlie, but you're completely taking the back roads on this one to crazy town.
Actually, I think you are on the expressway.
Again, it's just subtly reinforcing rape culture.
You don't have to hang a black dude to do or say something slightly racist, or call someone a "f word" to be a little homophobic.[DOUBLEPOST=1343842132][/DOUBLEPOST]I would post a thread about the latest awful reddit / rape thing to discuss this further and stop ruining / derailing this thread but I don't have the energy after the gun thread to keep up with that

Charlie, please stop trying to be a gallant defender of the weak and helpless. You just come off as annoingly anal retentive.
Also, George Lucas has already proven himself a monster:

Subject change.
Boobs or butts?
Boobs or butts?
Personally, boobs, but bothare awesome, and I suppose butts are more gender-neutral-enjoyable, so....the PC answer is butts?
Darn, I should've guessed it'd be "neither", shouldn't I?
Anyway, minor victory: I sent off a letter for a job interview. Man, that was way too long ago and took way too long.

speaking of boobs and butts (since women are only worth their parts that men like)
my date I think I mentioned from way back went really well! we're going to see each other again soon

Good stuff Charlie...
Make sure to compliment her butt...

Yup. Women love being told they're beautiful, especially in the parts where it counts. "Whoah, you've got a great rack" and "shake that ass, man you've got a big booty" are definitely winners*.
*prizes may include, but are not limited to, glasses of water thrown in the face, slaps, the sad feeling of defeat after a date gone wrong, being humiliated/insulted in return, and possibly charges.

I wasn't asking for advice, but thanks anyways!!!!
Good luck Chuck.
That's being rather insensitive about this Charlie. Women can like women's boobs and butts too.
I am pretty sure that Mrs. Dave likes his Butt and Boobs too.
What women like isn't important to the patriarchy at all.
Damn it Charlie... go out on a nice date and have fun and stop being obstinate.
This whole situation to me seems like one of those "If anybody OTHER than Charlie had said that, nobody would care" situations....
You rang?
I'm sure if anyone here took the time, they could misconstrue and pull apart some of Charlie's non-reactionary posts in the same way he does to others.
Like that time he said he liked Spider-man, but he couldn't be bothered to include that he liked Spider-woman in the same post. Why? Because he prefers Spider-man to Spider-woman. That sexist monster.
This could be an interesting discussion, but might it be better done in its own thread in the politics, etc. area?
Maybe, which brings out the bigger question of why Charlie didn't bring this to her in PM's of it was that big of a problem. Why try to humiliate her instead of educate her? I'm not going to make a thread for him, since he already said he's too tired to defend it. If he's going to call some one out though, he better be willing to back it up. Especially when you say they're reinforcing rape culture.
I like Charlie, and I like his point of view. But if you're going to do something like this, you better be able to back it up.
Minor victory: I saw a troll recently, rolled my eyes at it and then walked away with not a single fuck given.
I learned a long time ago through my experiences of dealing with ethnicity and religious-based jokes that sometimes you just have to let things go. Yes, people will make Nazi jokes in front of me and think it's funny because I'm German. Guess what? I'm also Jewish, assholes. Oh, but I've heard plenty of penny-pinching jokes about that, too. For the love of all that's kosher, my name is Dill! Who can grow up with a name like that and not be thick-skinned? If I were to get upset at every comment that could be construed as offensive, then I would turn into an angry, bitter shrew. I’m a kind, loving person who enjoys nothing more than giving back to others. Young Dill went through her angry phase where she hated the world for all of the misfortunes she’d been forced to suffer. Scheisse passiert! I have a wonderful man who loves me, a good, stable job, two degrees, and friends who form an amazing support circle.
Have a lovely day, everyone!

hey,another german on theboard.sweet.
It reinforces rape culture by devaluing the horror of rape. Think about other things that get overused, like the word awesome. If you call every little thing awesome, then how do you express yourself when you come across something that truly is awe inspiring? I'd call it language decay, more than empowering some sort of perceived culture that thinks rape is ok, however.
tl:dr rape is awesome
