Feminist (and woman)-hating blogger Roosh Vörek embarrassed men everywhere in a Monday column on his creatively named Roosh V blog. Vörek, with his misogynist ravings, has become quite popular with the so-called “men’s rights” movement — and why not? This recent entry tackled the liberal invention known as “rape culture,” and featured Vörek’s brilliant solution: Make rape legal on private property!
According to the blogger, having laws against rape do nothing but make“women wholly unconcerned with their own safety and the character of men they developed intimate relationships with.”
“I saw women who voluntarily numbed themselves with alcohol and other drugs in social settings before letting the direction of the night’s wind determine who they would follow into a private room,” Vörek wrote, going out of his way to demonize rape victims. “I saw women who, once feeling awkward, sad, or guilty for a sexual encounter they didn’t fully remember, call upon an authority figure to resolve the problem by locking up her previous night’s lover in prison or ejecting him from school.”
“By attempting to teach men not to rape, what we have actually done is teach women not to care about being raped, not to protect themselves from easily preventable acts, and not to take responsibility for their actions,” he claimed.
But it’s OK: Vörek has a solution:
I thought about this problem and am sure I have the solution: make rape legal if done on private property. I propose that we make the violent taking of a woman not punishable by law when done off public grounds.
“The exception for public rape is aimed at those seedy and deranged men who randomly select their rape victims on alleys and jogging trails, but not as a mechanism to prevent those rapes, since the verdict is still out if punishment stops a committed criminal mind, but to have a way to keep them off the streets,” he explained. “For all other rapes, however, especially if done in a dwelling or on private property, any and all rape that happens should be completely legal.”
How will this benefit women? By teaching them a valuable lesson, of course!
If rape becomes legal under my proposal, a girl will protect her body in the same manner that she protects her purse and smartphone. If rape becomes legal, a girl will not enter an impaired state of mind where she can’t resist being dragged off to a bedroom with a man who she is unsure of—she’ll scream, yell, or kick at his attempt while bystanders are still around. If rape becomes legal, she will never be unchaperoned with a man she doesn’t want to sleep with. After several months of advertising this law throughout the land, rape would be virtually eliminated on the first day it is applied.
Yes, we will live in a land in which men can take any woman they want — with or without her consent — anywhere and anytime, except where people might see. A land in which a drunken stepfather may violate a child under his care because — hey — private property, and all. Girls and women will live in a constant state of fear, and will be forced to travel in packs or with a man so that they will not have to worry about being horrifically violated when meeting new people. And men will continue to drink without fear, knowing that if a female is foolish enough to attend a party, they can have her at any time — as long as they can overpower her, or drug her, or simply wait until she is too intoxicated to do anything about their unwanted advances.
” Consent is now achieved when she passes underneath the room’s door frame, because she knows that that man can legally do anything he wants to her when it comes to sex,” Vörek wrote. “Bad encounters are sure to occur, but these can be learning experiences for the poorly trained woman so she can better identify in the future the type of good man who will treat her like the delicate flower that she believes she is.”
“Let’s make rape legal. Less women will be raped because they won’t voluntarily drug themselves with booze and follow a strange man into a bedroom, and less men will be unfairly jailed for what was anything but a maniacal alley rape,” Vorek concluded. “Until then, this devastating rape culture will continue, and women who we treat as children will continue to act like children.”
Last year, after Elliot Rodger killed six people and injured 13 other in a bloody virginity-fueled rampage, Vörek predicted more massacres unless men are given more “sexual options.”
““Until you give men like Rodger a way to have sex, either by encouraging him to learn game, seek out a Thai wife, or engage in legalized prostitution—three things that the American media and cultural elite venomously attack, it’s inevitable for another massacre to occur,” he said.
Soooo I guess there are a few things we can assume about rape/rapists from this nonsense:
1. It never happens sober. Or, it never happens in a public place when the woman is sober.
2. Only women are raped, and only by men.
Guess how that assists men’s rights? Not at all. Anyone can be raped anywhere, anytime, no matter what he or she is wearing, no matter how “modest” actions and words may be. This doesn’t help men or women come forward regarding sexual assault. So absurd. This is so obviously only about hating women or perceived femininity. How ignorant and lazy…
Yes, its funny how often the MRA’s DON’T mention male rape or rape by men of women. Women forget to mention it because, outside of prisons and jails, it is a statistically smaller amount- (but does still matter!) and men like this forget it because they DON’T REALLY CARE. That’s one of the ways you know when you have a man who is truly dedicated to equality of the sexes or one who is just a predatory opportunist.
I’ve been on Roosh’s site quite a bit. They are not MRA’s they are anti women. They intend to actually have sex with women , preferably without condoms and with an attitude to cause emotional pain, in order to “punish sluts”. If you read his articles he’s a self proclaimed hedonist with conservative leanings.
MRAs can be a little off at times, hateful during others but I don’t think they would be pro rape. They are against rape for men. Last I checked they wanted rape laws to be gender neutral, which they should be.
And now, in Colorado, the NRA, uhhhhh, I mean the GOPTP, is trying to make concealed carry WITHOUT a permit legal… so this dovetails nicely. A rapist can pull a gun on a woman, force her onto private property (like his car), and if she doesn’t comply, he can kill her. I keep wishing for a GRB to take out the human race.
Living proof there are people who do believe in throwing babies out with bathwater.
Right after we make all that legal to do to him.
I wonder how he would feel about this if a guy were to drug his drink and rape him? Or a woman were to drug him and rape him with an object? What I really wonder is if anybody actually thinks this way. I bet he just said it for the firestorm of attention it would cause.
Yes, he actually believes this. He currently lives in a country with very liberal (as in, nonexistent) rape laws because he openly admits on his blog to getting women drunk in order to rape them. His opinion of himself is so far in the gutter that he assumes any woman who would allow herself to drink around him deserves to be raped by him.
I wish this pathetic bag of protoplasm was the only one of its kind…but remember we had a politician just the other week say, “Rape is a beautiful thing, if a child is conceived.” When you put all their bizarre restrictions, criminal indictments on abortion, as well as new laws that give parental control & rights to rapists (who made rape babies) it’s very clear what the Conservative message is. Don’t worry about dating and rejected advances; simply rape the one you want and hope she gets pregnant. If she does, then legally she’s yours….if you still want her. Oh yeah, they have an opt out set of laws too, just in case you felt the experience wasn’t all that great and want a different experience.
So this (My God, there is no descriptor or adjective in the English language that identifies the level of pathetic-ism this freak has ascended to (or descended to)) ‘thing” for lack of a better word, is not alone in his desire to see rape be perfectly legal. It also suggests that his theory regarding the end of rape will be proven horribly wrong.
Rape him. Rape him repeatedly. Gang rape him till he begs Jesus for his Mommy. I guarantee you his opinion will change.
Something’s definitely wrong with you, Fatso.
He probably is lousy in the bedroom!
He looks 32 and those girls look 17; and we all know why… because women his own age won’t date losers.
He’s stated a preference for anorexics. Because they look good and are emotionally crippled so easy to manipulate.
He literally said almost exactly that.
35 and dating 17 year olds. Not sure why “stating” beforehand that in fact “you’re an asshole” invalidates that you, are in fact, an asshole.
Both him and his stance are deplorable. My purpose in sharing that anecdote was to further demonstrate it (as if it needed further demonstration,) not to express support for it.
Apologies for being unclear about that.
A guy dating younger isn’t because he’s a loser. Now if he was 32 and a virgin you might have a point. Most guys want to date younger women. Maybe not that young but then again most guys don’t have a choice to date a 17 year old.
He’s a claims to be a pick up artist. A 32 year old with two 17 year olds sounds like he’s one smooth operator. I mean they are legal adults.
Poor men, being reduced to how much of a “man” they are based on their sexual conquests.. You further perpetuate the stigmatism that makes men inferior unless they view women as sex objects.
So I guess it would be totally legal for a father to repeatedly rape his six-year-old because, you know. Private property.
This would make it easier to identify potential rapists, then pretend to be too drunk to fight them, get them alone, and slit their throats (which, if it happens on private property, should be legal and would teach a valuable lesson to other potential rapists).
why is this man not dead or sexually mutilated in the privacy of his own home? perhaps he needs to be raped by another man so he can feel the horror too are there any big male takers, that would like to rape his misogynistic ass in the privacy of their home or his? sign up now and get a bonus giant butt plug to cork up his moronic ass and a ball gag so nobody can hear him squealing like the pig that he is.
This is a wonderful idea.lets encourage this .of course it’s only because he needs to learn a lesson.oh and Umwhatt we don’t need Anita or Breanna, we have countless committed sisters and brothers.If people like you could only understand how much equality would also help you ,we would be more than halfway there.we could count on you to join in for purely selfish reasons at least.
are you an idiot? i was basing solely on his ideals about what is good for a woman. don’t you friggin’ understand hyperbole? do you need a dictionary to look that big old word up too? we’d be more than halfway decent and equal, if morons such as yourself didn’t take every goddamned thing literally. get a life twit!
Only the first two sentences of my comment were directed at you Christine.and I was agreeing with you.the rest was for the guy above you.ffs.his name is Umwhatt.
@michelle:
you need to learn to reply DIRECTLY to that particular person in their reply box. not in the same one that you are commenting to someone else.
also there was virtually no distinctive line or break in your comment to me, that would indicate that you are speaking to another poster. just using the screen name UMWHAT, did not do an adequate enough job. how am i supposed to know that there is another person involved? i don’t know everyones name by heart, could have meant “um what” as in “UM WHAT are you talking about” but poorly spelled.
your entire comment was poorly punctuated and run on, with no proper spacing between sentences. so next time, respond to the appropriate poster, use proper sentence structure, punctuation and spacing. then, you won’t have people tearing you a new butthole, in response.
What I like about this article is how they classify him as a Men’s rights activist when he isn’t He is a pick up artist and an antifeminist. Nothing to do with Men’s rights. Thanks for muddying the waters, just more of the feminist bullshit to wade through. GO ANITA! OH forgot she’s already been proven to be a fraud, GO Breanna WU! Oh wait, she was proven fraudulent as well….well shit who do you guys have left?
Direct quote from his Welcome to Reaxxion article:
“I aim to protect the interests of heterosexual Western males,”
That’s as close as one can get to self-identifying as an MRA without specifically using the words.
OTOH, the rest of the MRA sphere (save, I think, for AVFM) has sought to distance themselves from him. As you’re doing now. Not that they ever let feminists get away with distancing themselves from Solanis, but pointing out the hypocrisy there would be a bit of a tu quoque.
Except not really. Roosh actually has a video on Youtube called ‘Men’s Rights Activists are making a huge mistake’ where he uses language that clearly disassociates himself from MRAs and offers his pathetic advice to ‘help’ them.
Also that direct quote is a stretch. MRAs do not support the interests of just hetero males, and there is no hypocrisy that I can see since Roosh has never said he is an MRA. Valerie indeed identified herself as a feminist and was hailed by other self-identifying feminists too…
As I said, “without using the words.” Perhaps it’s a bit of a stretch, but it’s one that fits my past experiences with MRAs - one of giving token lipservice to the inclusion of nonhetero males on the splash page of their blogs while pissing on them in actual practice.
If your experiences are different… well, I’m as likely to just take your word for it as you are to take mine.
I don’t doubt you have had bad experiences with MRAs, just like I’m sure you wouldn’t doubt I have had bad experiences with Feminists. My point is that it’s wrong to group MRAs, PUAs and MGTOWs as one movement because of their similarities when you only need to dedicate maybe a few hours looking into each individual group to see the differences. In the same train of thought, I believe it’s wrong to group the SCUM Radical Feminists, Non-Patriarchal Theory Feminists and Mainstream Feminists as one group, even if they all have the word ‘Feminist’ in their titles, a few hours of research will show they are quite different.
umwhattt - you have me. Men, who now have far more rights than they deserve, based upon the history of the past 12,000 years, may have their rights when women finally have all of theirs. Of course they only get exactly the same rights as women get. Neither more nor less. After all fair is fair.
As for this castration-candidate Rorschach Vlad the Imbecilic Repugnancy - see the blogger being blogged about above - He’s invited to my next ‘party’ where I can promise him a most interesting ‘Learning Experience’.
Please tell me this is a cat fishing, trolling feminist woman, bent on making meninists^Wmale chauvinists look bad? Otherwise honestly, we’ll just have to say “Go ahead. Procreate without us. Men just aren’t worth it.”
It’s satirical story designed to prove a point. You’ll notice that the goal of his satirical plan is actually to prevent rape, not to increase it.
I’m guessing from the reaction to this article that people don’t understand satire.
Is this seriously a real thing?
Roosh V is not a men’s rights activist, he’s a pick up artist.
He isn’t connected to the men’s rights movement.
It seems the author of this piece failed before even finishing the title.
Great job at “research”
Funny how these MRA’s hate women, but once they land in prison and Inmates find out what they are in for. They know it will be game over for them. Let’s not forget that these MRA’s are just dudes behind a keyboard cause they are too chicken to say in public cause they know someone will punch their lights out in REAL LIFE. These are MRA’s who can talk crap online, but in real life are scared like 5 yr olds cause society won’t put up with their crap.
lol that doofus is a PUA and has nothing to do with any Men’s Right’s Advocacies.
On youtube, he made a video called ‘The Men’s Rights Movement Is Making A Huge Mistake’ where he clearly uses language that disassociates himself with the movement, while offering idiotic advice to ‘help’ the cause.
Oh deary deary…
