@jessesingal I know that's not super likely, but it's a bad example. A better example would be language a police officer uses toward me. >

@jessesingal so yes, totally valid to participate in a conversation on rape. Less valid, imo, to judge the subtext of coded language >2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@karspearhollow what to do about a situation where she's empirically *correct*, but where some people are going to be offended1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -
Replying to @jessesingal
@jessesingal yes. I tend to think this particular situation is akin to "if you drive a car on the highway, you might get in a wreck."2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@jessesingal I mean, yeah, I think the kind of language Yoffe uses, which is very common, is often code for "you were asking for it."1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@jessesingal it's a major distraction from the issue at large - men are raping at staggering numbers- to say "think of how you can avoid it"1 reply 0 retweets 1 like - Show replies
