Reply #142: That corn fields story makes no sense: [View All]

[the_spectator]

I understand your concern about rape and about men, which is a fair concern. But this part at least did throw me:

in one nearby lily-white town, it was understood by all that if a man wanted to coerce sex from a womon, all he had to do was threaten to drop her off "down in the corn fields," where packs of men knew to go to find easy rape victims. the rural dark alley.

I could maybe see men coercing sex by threatening to take a woman down to the cornfields to rape her, but not cocercing sex by threatening to just drop her off down there (because supposedly enough women refused to have sex enough times that the cornfields would be known as easy places to find abandoned women and so "packs of men" would sort of hang around down there to rape them.) That makes no sense.

(Others have brought up the spelling-of-women point. In many places, you do write "womyn" which is perfectly acceptable. I've even seen "wimmin" in other places. But STAY AWAY from "womon." It sounds like the kind of thing that would show up in a Japanese monster flick -- maybe "Godzilla vs. Womon")
