Blaming the victim of rape is unconscionable regardless of her age, but to blame a CHILD for her own rape? UN-friggin'-believable. And at the same time, I'm supposed to believe that the Republican "War on Women" (and on girls, apparently) is all a figment of my imagination? Oh, I don't think so. Keep it up, guys. You do realize, don't you, that women are the MAJORITY in this country (there are 7 million more of us than you), and even though you have so many women bamboozled with your B.S., many of us know full well what you're up to, and we aren't about to let you get away with it. You think we were loud and obnoxious in the 70s? Hang on, sweetheart, cuz you ain't seen nothin' yet.

This blog post by Emily L. Hauser regarding Facebook and hate speech against women is excellent. Please take the time to read it in its entirety if you are a consumer and a woman, or if you are a consumer who cares about women. It illustrates perfectly how women are viewed as "less than," by society in general, and by Facebook in particular in this instance. Very informative and eye opening. http://emilylhauserinmyhead.wordpress.com/2013/05/24/why-isnt-it-hate-speech-if-its-about-women/
