Hey so to protect one of my friends I’ve decided to help her out by posting this on my blog instead. Please share this!
“This is Ian Foote. My husband and I met this man at one of my shows at the Rickshaw Theatre in East Vancouver last week and I added him on Facebook that same night because he and his girlfriend seemed nice enough.
WARNING TO WOMEN IN EAST VAN.
This man is a potential rapist who openly admits to having to forcibly stop himself from raping on the daily. Please spread this around, I want everyone in Vancouver to know to stay far away from this man.”

Please please please signal boost the fuck out of this you never know where your followers are. Thank you ♥
What fucking piece of shit.
This is a nightmare. He thinks he’s being clever and cute about his disgusting tendencies. And I’m sure once all of this gets out and the world understands what a monster he is he’ll claim it was all one big joke or social experiment or some shit. Or that he was being sarcastic to prove a point.
Okay so the really stupid — no wait, let me start again. One of the MANY stupid things about this kind of argument: the line that borders how much is showing “too much”, the outfit that supposedly “forces men to think about fucking them”— is completely and utterly arbitrary.
There was a time when women showing their ANKLES was utterly scandalous in most of the western world, and would have caused men like this to say “well she was asking for it, look how she was dressed.”
And what about cultural variance? During a slightly later time when women in the west could “safely” expose their ankles (but not their knees!), there were countries in the “British Empire” (colonialism being a whole other post) whose cultures forbade their arms to be exposed.
And so on.
Would looking at my ankles make your “inner caveman” think about fucking me? How about looking at my elbows? No? Then how did your “inner caveman” get slightly more “civilized” than the inner cavemen of the 1910s, and how did their inner cavemen get more civilized than the Victorian ones?
The bullshit “oh but it’s just evolution/biology!” argument doesn’t hold up to even the tiniest examination. “Modesty” rules have never been about anything but controlling women, and “evolution” arguments about behavior have never been about anything but blaming women for whatever happens to them when they step out of male control.
