UPDATE: Naturally, Salon piles on. Hey Katie McDonough--let's say hypothetically a male (I don't honor such types by calling them "men") is getting ready to do whatever the hell he wants to you, and there's no one around to save you. What would you do? And Slate...
And Campus Progress ("young people working together for progressive change")
Say, this meme is getting quite the workout from those "women's' rights" champions. It's almost like the so-called "feminist" movement actually hates women...
