The Apostate:

I’m going to stop emphasizing to all who will listen that this world is a rotten place because women aren’t safe. I’m going to act as if we are and refuse to play into the hands of those who intimidate us. You know why? Because part of living a full life is getting drunk in bars, and when you’re drunk, the fresh night air and the silence of the streets is the best fucking thing. Walking home drunk is not an unfortunate expediency, carelessness or irresponsible behavior. It’s a pleasurable experience. It’s a liberating experience. And women should be able to do these things for their own sake, not just when we’re stuck without a ride, or “made a mistake,” or didn’t realize how late it had gotten, but because while we’re here, we’d like to live a little. And fuck the consequences.

A few points:

1. Getting drunk and walking home is part of a full life? I guess I'll be stuck at 99% of life since I've never had a drink nor do I desire one.

2. Walking home drunk is not irresponsible behavior? Glad to know that she won't be having any kids.

3. "It’s a liberating experience." That means I'm ... oppressed!

I blame the Matriarchy.

4. "And fuck the consequences." Translation: She likes drama.

A concerned commenter there writes:

FFS girl.. This is not a perfect world!

A drunk guy meadearing along a dimly lit street encounters a similarly drunk female ???… shakes head. What female in their right mind would take the risk of walking home alone drunk.

This is the reality.

Some people never learn.

Update
But the grizzly bears and cubs are so cute and harmless.

Aren't they?

By the way, the four simple tags at the end of the post there are priceless.

Meh. I'm not afraid to walk on the streets at night. That's because I'm not attractive.

Given a choice between being attractive [and thus fearing rape] and being plain [and thus having trouble getting a date] I would choose being attractive.

Spoiled brats want the all of the advantages without the disadvantages. Oh well, in some other universe.

A different perspective :)

I stopped blaming her when I found out that she was a rape victim. Given the trauma she has been through, its ok if she is a bit weird.

Well, for one thing, you're probably underestimating yourself. More importantly though, rape has more to do with opportunity than it does with attraction. Most rapists get off on the violence and sense of power rather than any real sexual desire, so the physical attributes of the victim aren't all that important. Appearance does still play a role, but not a major one.

The woman is batshit crazy, no weird, and you can't blame that on rape.
