Sometimes it’s useful to remember just what the early second wave feminists were reacting against. Here, from a comic circa 1970 (judging from the clothing) is a sort of double-whammy of misogyny: hide your smarts, girls, or you’ll end up a wizened old maid at the ripe old age of … twenty?
The MRAs today who prattle on about how declining marriage rates mean that men are wising-up to the evils of feminism need to remind themselves that delaying marriage is a good thing for both men and women (the earlier the marriage, the greater the likelihood of divorce; the later the marriage, the more time for men and women to get decent education, start a career, mature a bit, etc etc). In the fifties, obviously, the pressure for women (and to a lesser degree, men) to marry very young was immense. This comic suggests that these pressures didn’t vanish with the coming of the sixties counterculture or even with the first stirrings of second wave feminism.

*snrfl* @NWO:
If 1 in 4 women are raped in college, then on average 250 women out of 1000 would be raped. If 90% of those rapes are unreported, than you would have 25 reported and 225 unreported. Chance of being raped? (25+250)/1000 or, you guessed it, 1 in 4. With 1000 men and 5% of them rapists, therefore, each one commits on average about 5 or so rapes.
Man, NWO, if you weren’t so terrible at math you might be able to blunder about and make it seem like you know what you are talking about.
Re NWOslave’s maths:
He’s trying to be funny, right?
@Jules:
No look, he gives himself away here, right? “Math can also be used to expose feminist propaganda, (lies).” He even admits he’s lying. 😀
@kirbywarp
Genius. It’s lucky we’re not a bunch of first graders or he might have had us.
Men committing repeat rapes: MOAR data for NWO to ignore! And done by MALE SCHOLARS too! Amazing trufact: men rape more than once (of course that data is based on the FACT that the majority of rapes are not stranger rapes).
Kirbywarp: your math isn’t far from the scholarship! That’s because we’re all a feminist monolith that cannot think for ourselves, no doubt.
ABSTRACT FOR THOSE NOT WANTING TO CLICK:
Pooling data from four samples in which 1,882 men were assessed for acts of interpersonal violence, we report on 120 men whose self-reported acts met legal definitions of rape or attempted rape, but who were never prosecuted by criminal justice authorities. A majority of these undetected rapists were repeat rapists, and a majority also committed other acts of interpersonal violence. The repeat rapists averaged 5.8 rapes each. The 120
rapists were responsible for 1,225 separate acts of interpersonal violence, including rape, battery, and child physical and sexual abuse. These findings mirror those from studies of incarcerated sex offenders (Abel, Becker, Mittelman, Cunningham-Rathner, Rouleau, & Murphy, 1987; Weinrott and Saylor, 1991), indicating high rates of both repeat rape and multiple types of offending. Implications for the investigation and prosecution of this socalled “hidden” rape are discussed.
OK, I flat-out suck at math, and even I knew Slavey’s math was not Earth math.
Seriously, Slavey, we can’t tell if you’re making fun of some feminist’s math (in which case CFN*), or you failed remedial stats.
* Citation Fucking Needed
Actual Feminist stats on rape.
1 in 4 women will be raped in college.
90% of rapes go unreported.
In a college of 1000 women students how many rapes will take place by feminist numbers?
1000 x .25 = 250 reported
250 x .90 = 225 unreported
225 + 25 = 250 rapes (who knew that, according to Slavey, unreported rapes don’t count as rapes? Somehow I’m not surprised)
What is a womans chance of being raped in college?
1 in 4 (OMG It matches! How can this be?)
If in that same college there are 1000 men and 5% are rapists how man rapes will each of them commit?
1000 x .05 = 50
250/50 = 5
Holy shit, guys, it’s almost exactly the same as ithiliana’s number! How can this be? It’s totally blowing my mind!
Oops, sorry, even us crazy groupthink feminists make mistakes. “1000 x .25 = 250 reported” should be “1000 x .25 = 250 rapes”.
Nobby: I know, I snorfled when I saw the similarity in figures. But, well, may show the statistical validity of the original ones?
And even more funfact: I googled “men repeating rapes,” and this article was like two of the first five hits, with multiple citations, and it was right there, in like 1 minute–so it’s not hard to find!
Fucking math, how does it work?
It’s seems I was wrong, it’s not just innumeracy, Slave can’t read. If his grasp of English is so weak that 90 percent of 1 in 4 = (X*.9)+(X/.25), instead of X/.25*.9 I pray to God his job doesn’t require any sort of following written directions.
That, or he just thinks we are stupid enough to believe his nonsense. I can’t even call that one a lie, because it’s so farfetched.
@Pecunium not X/.25, but X*.25 or X/4.
You know, none off this will make a damn bit of difference. In his mind, he’s already refuted our feminist lies. He is by definition correct, simply by virtue of him being him and us being us. He could confidently state that 2 orange = platypus, and be absolutely certain that he’s won the argument; it is only our feminist group think that keeps us from seeing the truth.
Mr. Slave, what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
You mean I can trade these two oranges for the platypus I’ve always wanted? What am I supposed to do with them now? I’m allergic to oranges! Curse you, feminism!
XD
*can’t, not can. Kinda changes the whole meaning.
Seriously, Slavey, we can’t tell if you’re making fun of some feminist’s math (in which case CFN*), or you failed remedial stats.
the second. Definitely.
cue whats-his-name flouncing back in to whine “Ooooh, I made a math mistake! So sue me, you geniuses!” in 5…4…3…
Today I learned that Pecunium is engaged. I am somewhat disappointed. D=
Leaving aside NWO’s sad attempts at math, let’s back up a second: what “feminist stats” claim that one in four women will be raped in college or that 90% of rapes go unreported? The absolute highest estimates of rape that I can find claim that one in four woman will be raped in their lifetimes (this includes child sexual abuse). Not just in college. Other estimates are somewhat lower.
Three seconds on Google took me to the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network, which claims that 60% of rapes go unreported. But it’s been demonstrated several times now that any troublingly high percentage gets rounded up to 90% in NWO’s mind. Remember how nobody in “the ghetto” gets married since all the ghetto ladies became radical feminists?
Every time I read one of NWO’s rants on here about the Rothschilds, I can’t stop hearing that guy from the Red Green Show in my head.
“Rothschild’s Sewage and Septic Sucking Services! We !”
Oops. Let me try that again with different brackets.
“Rothschild’s Sewage and Septic Sucking Services! We [insert poop joke slogan]!”
Shaenon, it has always been my understanding that rapes and sexual assaults in college are a fair bit higher than the average.
Can’t recall where that came from, though. Perhaps just from knowing several women who were assaulted in college.
