What are your thoughts about rape and sexism???

While in APUSH today, we spoke of slaves and how the female slaves were forcibly locked in a room with males, whether it being the slave owners or just other slaves...

Would you consider it to be completely offensive and extremely sexist if a male yells out, "That's some good stuff right there 'cause the guy gets laid..."

Yet, after debating of it, he ends the debate with his line, "I don't believe that what I just said was sexist because women should know their place!"

I'm really frustrated over this issue, I as well as a few others feel strongly that these statements of rape being "good stuff" or "okay" is completely sexist!

Can anyone share their thoughts upon this, please??

I hadn't even noticed the date of this thing...oh well.

Yeah, that was sexist. Not only that but it proves that this guy isn't "getting any" because he'd have to have somebody locked up in a room with him...uh, I'll just end that there. I shouldn't be making that kind of suggestion here, I think:rolleyes: There's something seriously wrong with that wack job.

thanks for replying everyone...i know that guy should have at least have gotten beaten up for it...but oh well, he'll get his karma one day...

^o^ i don't know why some people have to be so rude...men are not superior, but equals to the female race...some people just can't allow that to process into their heads...dumbnuts...>_<

i think that people who are raped have suffered from one of the worst possible crimes that someone could commit. and the people who do that crime are trully the scum of the earth.
