the hype weekly article stated (in the author's opinion) that it was the woman's fault that these things happen "women have even greater power than men to stop that part of FPD which is only rampant mayhem." here's what the author had to say:
We need to remember the ageless drive in men to desire and seek after the affection of women. For the attention of a woman, a man can rise up to surpassing nobility. For the possession of a woman, a boy can descend into a pit of abuse. But a woman can flip the switch. A woman of good character will inspire a man to reach for that nobility, while a woman who imitates the behavior of boys in order to get their attention can direct the very abuse that injures them. This does not except the victimization of a woman that can happen when she is lured in by a boy pretending to be a man until he thinks no one can stop him. A woman of character must take extra care to be sure of a man's character before being vulnerable to him.the author then goes on to say a plea for women on how they should behave so that men will not be brought to do these things. (i don't know why it won't indent the next two paragraphs below. but the next two are quotes from hype weekly.)
It should be enough to demand that the boys grow up and act like men, and many are demanding that, but we cannot control each others' decisions. Each must choose for himself. The appeal to women is that, if there are some boys who refuse to be admirable, then women can remove the boys' opportunity for mayhem simply by refusing to get anywhere near it.
..please don't go to the house, frat and dorm parties. Please don't drink until you can feel the effects. Please don't cavort with boys you would not be proud to introduce to your parents and grandparents. Please don't imitate boys in their behavior, laugh at their jokes that degrade you, or keep their company when they stop behaving themselves. If you work for an employer that expects you to use your femininity to intoxicate men, reconsider keeping that job. Please do encourage yourselves and each other to seek out the company of real men and, if there aren't enough this FPD, then keep company with each other apart from the boys.
...It would be far less damaging, rather than douse the flames with water, if we can remove the oxygen from the fire. Boys don't have that much fun and are far less destructive if there are no women around to "impress" or take with them into their revelry. Drunk boys will fight each other and you in order to dominate you or your attention if you appear willing, but if there is no fun to be had, the fight tends to fizzle.
jezebel made this comment after that quote from the article: Good women, if you follow the above advice — stay sober, keep silent, quit your job, never talk to men ever again, resist cavorting at all costs, etc. — and sexual assault doesn't disappear, you should try disappearing yourself. Women won't be raped if they're not around to egg rapists on. Problem solved! Good talk.
-i just couldn't believe the article from hype weekly. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! it's the woman's fault. what bullshit! i don't even have any words to say how horrendous this is. how about men learn to control their actions. how about men aren't just some animal and don't know anything except sex when they see boobs.
-as a friend of mine put it, "it's been 2000 years since man walked out of the cave with fire, but mans mind is still in the dark." and this is for jeff koenig who wrote the article. his mind is still in the dark.
all information that i used to write this is from jezebel/the hype weekly article.
here's the hype weekly article.
