This feeling... This must be how it feels whilst approaching O September of thy years.

So, I've been accused of "blaming the victim" several times before, for suggesting that girls not get super wasted around a bunch of alpha douches if they want to lower their chances of being raped. Serena Williams made some similar comment about the Steubenville rape case, and in defending her comments, I got to thinking.

I find myself enjoying the stories where I'm arguing about that sort of thing. So much so that I don't feel bad about the actual rape at all... like, at all. Why? Do I feel like it's some "deserved" comeuppance? Do I hate women and secretly want them to be raped?

The answer I am thinking about is maybe yes and no. I think it's not that I like women getting raped; it's that I like telling them what they can and can't do. That is, I want to tell women that they can't dress all slutty and get sloppy around a gang of dudes. And here's why: that shit is so disgusting and degrading. I want women to wear headscarves and not get too drunk and not hang around men. They shouldn't be doing that shit anyway, and it's highly unattractive. It evinces a complete lack of self respect, and I hate it.

So that's the maybe no, part. The maybe yes part is that I'm not even mad at the dudes who rape women exhibiting these behaviors. I'm glad they do it, because it reinforces the negativity of those behaviors. They are enforcers, of a sort, of a certain moral etiquette. I would hate, to the verge of killing, someone who stranger raped some demurely dressed woman who isn't making a spectacle of herself. That's just scummy. But we kind of need the date/party rapists to remind women that that shit isn't for them. It's okay for men; not so for women.
And, related to that last bit, it reminds me that there are some awesome things about being a man that I want to remain that way. I want men to be the only ones who can get wasted and loud. I feel like that is our exclusive right, and women have encroached upon it in a way that is need dialing back

That feel when someone makes an unboxing thread without posting the unboxing process

Moderation? Where?

That feel when I guess I'm in training now. The government put me on this program to get me back into work. 16 hours a week just showing up at this shitty store to qualify to receive the same shitty monthly sum that I couldn't survive on anyway.

Yesterday I worked 6 hours. Had to get up at 07:00 to make it in time, and I wasn't home before 16:00, at which point I was tired and let the rest of the day slip away without doing anything rewarding, and also had to go to bed early for the next day.

What I wonder is, how the hell do normals live with this? I already find it intolerable, and I'm far away from working full time. Instead of 5-6 hours a day, I should be working 8, and instead of 3 days a week, I should be working 5. That's just ridiculous. That just leaves a few hours a day plus the weekend to spend your precious little lifetime on something you actually WANT to do.

I'm scared, /jp/. I can just barely get by for now by just taking on one day at a time, but if I try looking ahead at what this path has in store for me, it's soul-crushingly depressing.
