You May Not Believe What the Feminists Are Angry About Now

This is one of those ones you can hardly believe is true. A couple of college kids invented a nail polish that can detect date rape drugs. You might think that this would win them accolades from the feminists. Guess again:

Quote:

Women are already expected to work hard to prevent themselves from becoming the victims of sexual assault. They’re told to avoid wearing revealing clothing, travel in groups, make sure they don’t get too drunk, and always keep a close eye on their drink. Now, remembering to put on anti-rape nail polish and discretely slip a finger into each drink might be added to that ever-growing checklist — something that actually reinforces a pervasive rape culture in our society.

Quote:

According to Alexandra Brodsky, one of the founders and current co-directors of Know Your IX, a survivor-led group working to address campus sexual assault, well-intentioned products like anti-rape nail polish can actually end up fueling victim blaming. Any college students who don’t use the special polish could open themselves up to criticism for failing to do everything in their power to prevent rape.

:eek:



Suppose for a second that some gal uses this stuff and realizes that her drink has been doctored and by whom. Couldn't she use this as evidence and bring charges against him? Suppose a couple of these cases happen and the creeps doing this realize that they could be the next one caught. It might cut down on the practice, which is a good thing, right?

Quote:

“The problem isn’t that women don’t know when there are roofies in their drink; the problem is people putting roofies in their drink in the first place,” Nagle pointed out.

And in a perfect world it wouldn't happen.
