Confusing?

Remember when kids used to play cowboys and indians (not aliens)? Now everyone has “grown up” and all they want to do is play victims and  perpetrators.

Damn. Where is Dave Chapelle when you need him? This Slutwalk event thingy (here in Berlin, too) brought one of his jokes to mind, you see.

You know, the one where he talks about women who dress like whores, women who wear “whore uniforms.” He hits on one in a bar and she tells him indignantly “Wait a minute! Just because I’m dressed this way does not make me a whore!” True, he admits. But ladies, he says, you must understand that this is confusing. That would be like him, Dave Chapelle the comedian, walking around the streets in a cop uniform. Someone might run up to him and say “Help us, officer!” and he would reply “Wait a minute! Just because I’m dressed this way does not make me a police officer!”

Confusing? Yup. And it could be, it just could maybe might be, that the women who take part on the Slutwalk are slightly confused about this themselves (this is the cue to accuse me of supporting rape and rapists, ladies).

“Theoretisch muss es möglich sein, dass eine Frau nachts halbnackt durch einen Park läuft und unbelästigt bleibt.“

  1. These slutwalks are turning into great way to “check out the talent”, if’n you know what I mean – and to let otherwise intelligent broads pretend that they’re humiliating themselves for a cause.

    The cause being, as best as I can tell, an insistence that no connection may be made between their behavior and the way they’re percieved.

    The result is that all women will simply be taken less seriously now than ever before, and treated like easily manipulated vacuous creatures whose only use is as objects for recreation.

  2. This one really does confuse me, Joe. I kind of equate it to a good gun control argument: The criminals don’t care about gun control, they’ll get their guns whenever they want them. I believe that the men that these women are pissed off at (or ought to be pissed off at) could care less what they look like or how they dress. They’re criminals too and will “get them” whenever they want. I don’t see how an event like this is going to raise any awareness with people who don’t and never will have any.
