David London comments on how I "just don't get it".

I think he's wrong.

Women, solely based on their sex, have the horror of potential
rape to live with, and I am saddened.  And the sickies out there that
will manifest their sickness upon women, based only on their sex, do
not have my sympathies.  They deserve the most painful place in Hell
for their deeds.

And if a women wants to reduce her chances of being raped, then
she should not call attention to her sex by dressing provocatively.
Just like if I want to reduce my chance of being mugged, I don't
flash hundred dollar bills.

It seems obvious.  That still doesn't make it right.  Just obvious.

Timeinc probably wouldn't acknowledge my existence, and has opinions of its
own.  I highly doubt that they would make me their spokesperson.
