Eighteen Men Gang-Rape an Eleven-year-old Girl.

And this article about it in the New York Times:

• reminds us that the incident "destroyed" the small Texas town in which the crime took place.
• reminds us that it is tragic that the men will "have to live with this for the rest of their lives."
• asks the question, "where was her mother?"
• tells us that the victim wore makeup, dressed "like a woman in her 20s," and hung out with teenage boys on the playground in a bad neighborhood.

Maybe another terrible thing to turn into small talk- how these poor rapists now have to live with with this, and how an eleven-year-old girl was too tempting and deserved it, and how her mother should have been with her 24/7.

Basically, blame men's crimes on women, then feel pity for the consequences men face.

This is mainstream, respected journalism, not some wack-o misogynists in a message board somewhere.

Charlie Sheen's "Disposable Women"

Here's a New York Times op-ed putting forth a theory as to why Charlie Sheen has been able to get away with all the scary violence he's done to women in his long career and is only just now feeling any flak for it. Anna Holmes thinks that the women Sheen has chosen to spend his time with, the women he's chosen to victimize, are what our culture deems "disposable women." Some are sex workers, but all are young, attractive women who trade on their sexuality. Golddiggers, sluts, whores. The thought is that women who use their sexuality for financial gain deserve violence, that violence against this kind of woman is inevitable, the women are just collateral damage when a rich white guy wants to have some "boys will be boys"-style fun.

This is probably how Rodrigo works out.

"Who knows, you might even be cured."

In South Africa, lesbians live in fear of "corrective" rape. Groups of men gang-rape and murder lesbians to "cure" them and the government largely ignores the hate crimes.

Video and news article here. And it's from 2009, so this is really recent and relevent.

Everyone's so mean to Geschwitz! And in the real world, lesbians do face quite a lot of harassment.
