06/20/2005 Entry: "Is rape a hate crime? Well, now that I think about it..."

"Is rape a hate crime? There are a few different definitions of hate crimes floating around. They share a few common features. The crime must be directed at a member or members of a particular social group: for instance an ethnicity, religion, sexual preference, or gender."
Creek Running North, June 18, 2005 (via Sisyphus Shurgged)

I never thought of rape as a hate crime, but it now qualifies for one in my book.

I'm with Amanda; I blame the rapist, not the victim. Don't blame the victim, blame the victimizer. I know Steve Gillard started this scuffle writing out of his ass about that woman in Aruba, but even so, why is there so much confusion over this? Weird. Don't be confused; rape is always optional for the rapist, and it's always wrong; no such thing as mitigating circumstances, self-defense or needed raping. C'mon blog guys, think about it, watch "Deliverance," "Fortune and Men's Eyes," or a couple of episodes of "Oz," you're smart, you'll figure it out.
