SWTPTRC, part 2

Basic Definition Of Rape Culture: A culture in which ignoring and/or crossing the boundaries of others is implicitly understood to be normal, acceptable, and desired.


Venue: anywhere public dancing takes place, i.e. bars, clubs, music festivals

1. Find the woman sitting/standing by herself. 
2. Ask her why she isn't dancing, and regardless of her answer,
3. attempt to convince her to dance.

Do not, under any circumstances, take no for an answer! It doesn't matter why she's not dancing; once she experiences your powers of persuasion, all previous excuses will be immediately revealed as the weak sauce they obviously are, and she'll be thanking you once she pulls the stick out of her ass.


Venue: anywhere
Upon being confronted with a female friend who, given the above circumstance, claims you would not be able to get her to dance,

1. graciously concede that she would indeed be a tough nut to crack,
2. remind her of your powers of persuasion, and
3. remind her that she has not yet experienced them.

She clearly does not know herself as well as you know her. You could totally get her to dance.

Surprise Ways To Perpetuate The Rape Culture: Things You Probably Didn't Know You Were Already Doing, Part One

Basic Definition Of Rape Culture: A culture in which ignoring and/or crossing the boundaries of others is implicitly understood to be normal, acceptable, and desired.


Venue: stand-up comedy show
When the comic asks for a volunteer to go up onstage for some reason, be

1. that person who raises their hand and points to the friend they came with
2. who clearly does not want to volunteer.

OR

1. the comic who seizes on the person who is being volunteered yet
2. is slouching in their seat and 
3. covering their face with their hand. 

Hey, it's my own fault if I fail to strike the perfect body language of indifference, right? My obvious discomfort is clearly fodder for your amusement! Also, I probably really do want to go onstage, I'm just too stuck in my head to know it, and I'll be thanking you once I pull the stick out of my ass.


Venue: drinking with your friends

1. Buy someone a shot 
2. after they've already explicitly stated that they're done drinking
3. for any reason whatsoever.

Clearly, your need to avoid drinking alone trumps any need I might have for ceasing to drink! Also, I probably don't really want to stop drinking, I just don't want to spend any more money, so you'll pay for it, and I'll be thanking you once I pull the stick out of my ass.
