LOL BRAIN BREAK!
So I was reading Starling's post on Schrodinger's Rapist, and this guy has been like, making all these n00b comments on "why cant men approach women isn't that unproductive in breaking down the barriers between women who do you know we're not being unfriendly" BLA BLA BLA you know, typical "I'm a man pls help me understand Feminism 101 despite the several links and 900++ comments" so the nice commenters there tell him to read the (by now) 1000++ strong comments which cover conversations, over and over again, on how to approach women, when NOT to approach women, repetition of "do not approach this woman unless she shows you clear signals that she is open to conversation".
Finally, after some resistance to the arguments and falling back on "I'm an economist" (and therefore he doesn't buy these arguments, although by now, any grown-up can tell that if you expect a reward for behaving like a decent human being you are either a young child or a SOCIOPATH), he throws us this little gem:
I think we’re talking about a problematic systemic condition (that you call rape-culture)
My mind just went BLANK for several seconds and I was like "OMG! After one thousand comments that we have repeatedly told you to read you finally clued on to this? YOU ARE SO CUTE! HOW OLD ARE YOU AGAIN?
Oh man. My mind is reeling.
