I'm really surprised that the guys on this site haven't woken up to the fact that the group Return of the Kings is feminist front to give rapists a bad name!

Cossomby unnecessarily proving the old adage that when a feminist makes a joke a kitten dies.

That's because they can't decide between
Feminists, Emily-Listers, Progressive Leftists,
Laborites, Fabians, Socialists, Moderate Muslims,
Waleed Aly, Ray Martin, David Morrison, or
anyone else they can point their fingers at.
"Them," and "Us!"

So creative!

There's lots of people commenting on what this man said based upon what others said he said. Has anyone actually bothered to find out exactly what he said? If not, why not? Its just another in a long line of moral panics based on half-truths and third hand information.

Now I'm not endorsing what the chap said. Its a less than acceptable suggested solution to a real problem. But if you read the context of what he's saying, the reality is very different to the propaganda put out by the moral police.

In a nutshell he's saying rape is bad and to be deplored. But he's also saying that at least some rape is preventable if the women were more guarded about the social situation they place themselves in and legalising rape in social situations would, perforce, change community attitudes about what situations women placed themselves in.

So, a not very well thought-out solution to a real problem. But the Boston Strangler he ain't.

Still it sold a few newspapers and allowed our moral defenders to demonstrate their claimed moral superiority.

For those interested, here is the offending blog....

Notice its called "How to Stop Rape".

PS when did legaliSe become legaliZe?

I was just trying to pre-empt anyone else blaming feminists! Some people think they are to blame for everything.

mhaze: it was legalize before it became legalise. If you look at old Australian newspapers and books, the 'ize' spelling in words like legalize was once the norm. I think the change to '-ise' came with the Australian Government Style Manual 1966. CSIRO was originally 'Organization' and didn't change till the late 70s or 80s.

So if you want to be pedantic, -ize is the traditional Australian spelling, not a new Americanism.
