    Default Baltimore Duo's parody uses Victoria's Secret panties to discourage rape (PG-13)

    This post is PG-13 because the link is for an article that included a picture that may not be appropriate for everyone.

    "...And indeed! Today FORCE: Upsetting Rape Culture, a Baltimore duo seeking to promote anti-rape awareness came forward and ‘fessed up to the stunt. In their blog post, they write about the enthusiastic response they received from both VS employees and customers:

    Through Victoria’s Secret’s social media, the concept of consent was cropping up in some unexpected places. The Victoria’s Secret facebook pages were flooded with “I heart consent” posts, excited campus reps were retweeting pinklovesconsent.com, and the “pink hearts” at pinknation.com were declaring their love for “open sex talk.” One employee tweeted, “I am so happy to currently have a job for a company that stands for something so beautiful!! @LoveConsent #victoriassecret #loveconsent” Highschool students were tweeting “I’m loving the new @LoveConsent! Victoria’s secret goes feminist!” At the outset, 100 young facebook users were in one the prank. It just went viral from there..."

    "Rape culture?" Sounds like another group that wants to brand all men as rapists in the making.

    Pressing the envelope in it's purest form.

    Rape culture effects men too, just look at the atrocious prison rape statistics. Every time someone jokes about prison rape, they are contributing to rape culture.

    What about the culture that allows someone like the Duke lacrosse accuser to fabricate stories of rape and then get away without any penalties when it's discovered she's a liar?

    Let it go, where you there. Do you know all the details, outside of you bigot views?
    Start a thread; just maybe you should try to stay on topic. It is more to that story, and one of player was arrested in DC for assaulting a homosexual male. Real tough guy. To be honest, I believe the boys from duke where guilty. Money talks and rich white boys walk.
    You sound like a rape victim, or maybe a hooker “B” clap you and took your money, so much anger.

    Do you mean the culture created by people like you.

    I was not there with those Duke Lacrosse players, but I do not think that they raped that stripper. The accuser, Crystal Mangum, sounds like a real upstanding citizen.

    Are you serious or a troll? The accuser in the Duke lacrosse has been shown to be a liar beyond any shadow of a doubt. The DA's actions were so outrageous in persecuting people who he knew were innocent that he was forced out of office, disbarred and jailed for contempt of court. People who make excuses for liars like her are no better than those who make excuses for rapists.

    I feel different, and I guess the op had to bring up duke, really fits this thread to a tee. Have a nice day, and check out Collin Finnerty' record in DC.
