&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;can this be common sense yet&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It will never be common sense because there’s &lt;em&gt;nothing about it that &lt;strong&gt;makes&lt;/strong&gt; sense. &lt;/em&gt;The only part I agree with is about what someone is wearing, &lt;strong&gt;because that actually doesn’t have an effect on preventing rape in most situations. &lt;/strong&gt;The other things? Those are, in fact, risk factors. Does it mean a person deserves something bad to happen? Of course not. What it means is that as a thinking human being with agency, YOU are responsible for your safety as much as you are able. YOU are responsible for judging the situation and who you are with. YOU are responsible for the risk you put yourself into. YOU are responsible for how much or how little you drink knowing that it limits your inhibitions and may make YOU&lt;em&gt; consent &lt;/em&gt;to things you wouldn’t normally consent to, &lt;strong&gt;which is not rape&lt;/strong&gt;. If YOU choose to get blackout drunk, and someone has sex with you in that state, &lt;strong&gt;THEY are the rapist shitsplints and deserve jail.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;But YOU could have done something to PREVENT it.&lt;/em&gt; This is not difficult. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Everyone deserves the FREEDOM to go out at night, and to get drunk, without worrying about being punished for it with murder.” &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Everyone deserves the FREEDOM to go out at night, and to get drunk, without worrying about being punished for it with mugging.” &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Everyone deserves the FREEDOM to leave their house unlocked without worrying about being punished for it with theft.” &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Everyone deserves the FREEDOM to let their kids run around town alone and unsupervised, without worrying about them being punished for it with kidnapping.” &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Everyone deserves the FREEDOM to drive their car without without worrying about being punished for it with a drunk driver hitting themt.” &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Of course they &lt;strong&gt;deserve&lt;/strong&gt; it. Every human DESERVES safety, respect, and bodily integrity. But we don’t live in a utopia. And until we do (probably around the time pigs fly), we owe it to people to operate under the world we have. Stop telling people to be sitting ducks because for some reason you think logic that applies to every other crime doesn’t apply to rape. Stop telling me that taking responsibility for my own safety is silly, and that I should just trust rapists to not rape me. I’m more than that and so is every other able bodied and able minded man and woman in the world.  - Stef&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The movie is retarded. I mean, okay, the book is retarded too, but the book is retarded in a really great way.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;m actually really upset though because I REALLY want other people to read it and my brother and I don&amp;#8217;t have that many common interests, but he doesn&amp;#8217;t read much so I don&amp;#8217;t think he&amp;#8217;ll read the book. Baah. Admittedly I have to like the movie a little just because now I can use JDatE gifs on Tumblr.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://waywardpigeon.tumblr.com/post/50702395183</link><guid>http://waywardpigeon.tumblr.com/post/50702395183</guid><pubDate>Fri, 17 May 2013 23:37:00 -0400</pubDate><category>john dies at the end</category></item><item><title>Repeat after me:</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://princessfuckingprivilege.tumblr.com/post/50654331352/repeat-after-me" target="_blank"&gt;princessfuckingprivilege&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You don’t have to feel responsible for the actions of anybody who isn’t you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The color of your skin should not dictate how you’re treated.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you feel some sort of obligation to let people be unpleasant to you because you’re more privileged than them, you are not compassionate, you are a doormat.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;No. Nope.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You don&amp;#8217;t get to just aimlessly hate people because you &amp;#8220;earned&amp;#8221; it, because you feel those people did something to you. Like look in your general direction and make you feel like &amp;#8220;omg he&amp;#8217;s oppressing me&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am so, so sick of everyone going, &amp;#8220;I earned&amp;#8221;, &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m entitled to&amp;#8221;, &amp;#8221; I deserve&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ugh. You sound like children. I&amp;#8217;m sorry but, generally, if you haven&amp;#8217;t taken a bullet for something then chances are you aren&amp;#8217;t entitled to it. You&amp;#8217;re entitled to the right to vote. You&amp;#8217;re entitled to &amp;#8220;life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness&amp;#8221;. Nothing else. Sorry.

&lt;p&gt;Honesty, and this site is the worst about it, an opinion &lt;strong&gt;is not&lt;/strong&gt; an attack or a guilt trip unless it is directed at someone. And even then, only you can determine how a statement will effect you and it is&lt;strong&gt; no&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;one else’s responsibility &lt;/strong&gt;to change or cater to &lt;strong&gt;your&lt;/strong&gt; personal views.&lt;/p&gt;
