Parkchester right? From the 6 train???? Metro Oval. Is Macy’s down that block?
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
A ChatRoulette Party Was Held Last Night in NYC
Last night, the Union Hall bar and restaurant in Brooklyn attempted to host its very first Chatroulette Night. The Park Slope bar’s cramped basement floor was converted into a mini-theater for the event. Rows of folding chairs were occupied by an eager audience, and at the front of the room, on a small stage, stood a large screen. Projected onto it was the image from the screen of a laptop on the stage, which was logged into Chatroulette.com, the website that allows strangers around the world to rapidly interact by live video feed. It was an experiment. What fun could be had partying with the strangers onscreen?

The "Why did she put herself into that situation" Argument.
When a young woman is raped after consuming too much alcohol we like to say “why did she put herself into that situation?”
She willingly got herself too drunk to make good decisions. She willingly went to that party. She got herself raped.
Ok, let’s accept this argument and give the guy the benefit of the doubt.
So here comes Drink Horny Billy. He meets Too Drunk Sally and decides he’d like to bed Too Drunk Sally. Sally is clearly sloppy ass drunk - maybe she’s consenting without realizing it, maybe she isn’t consenting but is too drunk to make enough intelligible objections so that Drunk Horny Billy can understand her.
Drunk Billy’s got a raging hard on, he and Sally are alone - so what does he do?
He has sex with her.
Now it’s the next day. Silly Sally realized that she got wayyy too drunk, realizes she lost $40 somewhere and her favorite lip gloss. Then she also realizes that while she was half-dead drunk - Fucktard Billy had sex with her. She doesn’t remember consenting and she, quite frankly, isn’t interested in having anything to do with Billy’s penis so she reports the incident as a rape.
Now Fucktard Billy is arrested and questioned. He has his best deer-in-headlights expression happening cause he is soooo sure she consented. Even though he was drunk too, and may not remember all the details of his fun night out - that one detail he knows for sure! She consented! (didn’t see?) She wanted me! (didn’t she?) Damn it, Billy was too drunk himself. Now what are you going to do Billy?
What I don’t understand is - why in situations like this, we don’t say “Why did Billy go and put HIMSELF in that situation where he can so easily be accused of rape? Why didn’t Billy look at Stupid Drunk Sally and think “this could bite me in the ass”?
We like to go hard at these women, especially when there are false rape accusations tossed around. When a woman is falsely claiming rape, the man is then the victim. So let’s turn it around and blame those victims too. There is a culture of victim blaming surrounding rape. What happens when you apply that frame to the male victims of false allegations?
So, guys, why do YOU put YOURSELVES into situations where you know you could be accused of rape?

Do you remember that commercial?

Damaged people are dangerous. They know they can survive.
wait, so i was in the shower and i was thinking about how in 2009 i took like three-hundred-and-sixty-ish showers and in 2010 i’m probably going to take like three-hundred-and-forty-ish showers. because i shower like every three days, but in the summer i shower like twice a day so it cancels out. i wish there was a pill you could take to shower because i like the feeling of being showered, but i hate taking showers.
