The guest post on Shapely Prose about "Schrödinger’s Rapist," [2024 update: the link is a PDF because it’s archived now] although written fairly recently, has already become one of those blog posts or websites whose content is universal enough to have already become widely-read and well known.
Wow, this is exactly the kind of condescension that really digs at me. "Do you know, do you UNDERSTAND, that women don't want to be assaulted?" Yes, lol. But if you're going to continue to treat me like I don't understand that, then that is what we call dehumanization.
I do have to say, looking back, this bit of hers is pretty spot-on, though, lol. I just appreciate that she included prophets of their own religion:
"Specifically, if you have truly unusual standards of personal cleanliness, if you are the prophet of your own religion, or if you have tattoos of gang symbols or Technicolor cockroaches all over your face and neck, you are just never going to get a good response approaching a woman cold."
But the mysterious fact of life is that all of those dudes fuck. If the nice boys stay at home to read essays and flog themselves with bundles of reeds, it makes technicolor cockroach guy that much more intriguing.
(I have never known anybody with cockroach tattoos, just a lot of indie rockers with questionable personal hygiene.)
