Women Don't Attend Concerts for the Music--We Do It For the Groping

 A response to another post by Amanda Hess on the Sexist, in relation to a remark by a loser--I mean, groper. Oh...they're the same thing. 

Here is a selection from the article:

Izzy gropes to teach girls a lesson! “Any girl that goes crowd surfing either wants to be groped or is too fucking stupid to realize that that’s all that’s going to happen and deserves to get groped for her stupidity,” he writes. Here, groping is seen as a punishment for women who have an expectation of personal safety at rock concerts. But which came first—the man who groped the woman, or the woman who was too fucking stupid to realize that the man was going to grope her, forcing him to grope her? The world may never know.

Here is the Psycho Response:

Gropers are losers. Period. No more can be said about them. There is no defense for such creepy, vile behavior.
Regarding going to concerts, wow, I guess I'm naive. Imagine, all this time I thought I was going to have a good time, listen to some music, dance a bit, in my younger day maybe have a toke, as I got older, maybe have a beer. But nooooo. I was, in fact, there because I was asking to be groped. Because a woman can't be a fan of Pantera (Rest in peace, Dimebag Darrell) or AC/DC or whomever. If she is at a concert, she is obviously a slag who is asking for it.

Groping Is Sexual Assault

 A response to a post by Amanda Hess on "The Sexist."

Nobody should be groping anybody who is not a willing participant. Men should not be groping unwilling people, male or female. And women should not feel that they can get a free pass to grope men (or other women.) The laws need to be tougher on this type of sexual assault, it sounds like. Probably a lot of people don't report it out of embarrassment, figuring "it was just a grab, the cops will just laugh at me." But it is a form of sexual assault.
It is a positive thing for women to take some form of self-defense training to give themselves confidence to fend off such attacks.
There was an incident back in my youth where I was talking to a friend while standing on the sidewalk and a man drove up across the street from us, parked his truck, jumped out and started masturbating. We ignored him and he got back into the truck and drove away. This type gets off on people expressing horror or disgust at his actions. Even though it was not as upsetting as being groped against my will (which has happened) it still left me with a "dirty" feeling like I needed to bathe in Clorox while scrubbing the top layer of skin away with a Brillo pad. (No, I did not do this.)
Re: "Rick Magnus" I don't know if you're a misogynist, a troll, or both. But you're certainly a jerk.

A good, healthy breakfast of leftover Chinese food should be just the thing to kick-start the fun of doing a microbiology report!

Will allow self to play silly games AFTER completing lab report. Will have to flog self if self does not get busy soon!

Another 95 degree scorcher ahead. Yuck. Blah. Must remember to turn swamp cooler from vent to cool before temps reach blazing.

Need to work on my last beastly lab report for my microbiology class. There's still another 3 weeks of class but no more reports after this!
