Amazon Removes Guide to Date Rape After Outcry

[Gormy Cuss]

The author of the e-book is mad at all the feminists responsible for this removal, because you know, we're worse than LMR women.

After backlash on the Internet, Amazon has removed an eBook entitled LMR Exposed: How To Overcome Her Last Minute Resistance To Sex, Turn 'No' Into 'Yes' And Get The Lay! Everything that's wrong with the book is summed up in its title: it's a guide that outlines how to coerce a resistant woman into having sex with you.

The "book's" product description (here's a link to its Google cache) delved into the topic of "LMR," or "last minute resistance," and it read like a striking reification of a normalized, metastasized rape culture...

1. What rape culture?

That's just a figment of HoF's mind.

3. The phrase "rape culture" does press buttons

just as "privilege" does. The defensive response is telling.

Me, I'd rather call it the "rape entitlement culture."

4. Tomato, tomahto. The rapes that result from rape entitlement culture are still rapes.

[Gormy Cuss]

5. And the "culture" aspect affects more than just the number of rapes.

It's the blaming, shaming, and trivializing of women, the normalizing of sexual violence, etc.

[Squinch]

6. Exactly. And the casual acceptance in places like Amazon.

2. Why the fuck would anyone want to have sex with a woman who doesn't want to have sex with you?

And this whole thing about how women need to be conquered and men are always ready to go is such a stereotype anyway. There are plenty of men who get cold feet or just aren't into it that day or whatever. Women aren't writing books about how to get them to change their minds, you just deal with it and move on.

7. If this doesn't prove rape culture exists

then I don't know what does. Dudes like this should stay away from women/girls, especially if he really can't understand the meaning of the word "no".

Sadly, this is considered normal in our society. Words like "no" or "resistance" mean nothing. "Fuck", "bang", and "screw" are used to describe consensual sex acts. That language is really telling and just shows how we view sex. And it's not a very nice view. When sex is described like that, even if its consensual, someone, usually the female, is getting screwed. Sex is nice, but I don't want to be screwed or nailed or boned! Always describing sexual acts like that makes it seem like sex is something one should be punished for doing.
