1. Your daughter would be even safer if she didn't go to any party at all!!!

2. Answers the age-old question of why women

the age-old question of why women accompany each other to the restroom. Hint: it’s not to gossip.

3. Blaming the victim

The conversation he supposedly overheard between the two girls is also blaming the victim by way of distancing themselves from the victim. Setting themselves apart, somehow - anyway they can - that allows the false comfort of thinking you're safe because of
- whatever excuses you can come up with...

I know better. (because nothing ever alters a teen's judgment - not peers, not booze, not drugs, not anything)
I'm a good girl. (because rape only happens to bad girls)
I'd never do this or I'd never do that. (knowing full well they have done that but denying it feels so much safer)

A lot of denial and wishful thinking.

They'd get the same level of rape prevention by knocking on wood.

Dispelling the myths about rape coupled with awareness, rape prevention and risk reduction classes should be part of the curriculum in middle schools and high schools.

Oh, it won't happen - because of ignorance and sexism....and denial and magical/ wishful thinking.

4. so if a woman goes upstairs to a bathroom, rape is justified?

seems logical

7. I would not go that far with the interpretation, but

it's obvious that this guy is trying to score political points in trying to defend women while at the same time restricting them in what they should or should not do.

In a way, it's worse than what you suggest.

5. So where, exactly, is a girl supposed to pee? The kitchen sink?

10. Must travel in groups or asking for rape

6. Sometimes a woman wants to change her tampon in private bucko.

8. let's clear up one obvious thing

he didn't actually hear his daughter say this, he made it up.

9. Good point. Using fictional conversation to tell women

If they get raped, it is because of their choices

[JI7]

11. and these are the people who are hateful with vile attacks towards transgender people

[Iris]

12. What an asshole. Instead of being outraged that his daughter can't use a restroom when and where she

needs to, he normalizes rape culture. Thanks, Old Man.

13. I can't imagine a female writing this. If that is where the bathroom is, that is where one goes.

Few teenage girls would take the "use the outside as a bathroom" option - and that would be even less safe.

Not surprised he deleted the tweet. He seems to be on a self-destructive/revealing roll of awful tweets in the wake of the hearings, doesn't he?

14. Matt Schlapp heard another female say someting!

everything he says is totally true!
