Having thrown themselves into a totally new town, he reckoned he’d try some time in residence on campus, get the gist of the people who he’s studying with and will be cahorting with before getting himself a bachelor pad…
The term is used more broadly here. It refers to brutish, Neanderthal-esque jerks. Keywords are: mean and stupid/ inconsiderate of their fellow human beings.
I prefer to call a spade a spade, though I may occasionally get caught up in my linguistic environment, so I just call them assholes.
You know, I try so hard, remind myself so often, to respect absolutely everybody’s right to be the way they are and to be on the planet…
But these assholes make it really…
REALLY hard.
The real problem right now is that beneath my roiling, boiling anger…
I’m actually terrified.
Please forgive me, but I knew to purge myself of that fear right here, right now. Fears are extremely dangerous creatures when left unattended, unacknowledged. They can grow completely out of proportion, and fangs and horns… And they can grow so powerful that they can control your life.
I’m the kind of girl that doesn’t take kindly to that sort of thing.
So here’s what I was told that’s been shaking up Yours Truly so bad…
So my buddy’s chilling in the tv room, sitting behind a whole bunch of mates who’ve clearly been in this res for some time… They’re all watching some random show and commenting on absolutely everything in the way that can be expected when a bunch of guys are socially asserting themselves…you know what I mean.
And then this particularly hot chic takes centre stage in the show.
“Wow that chic is so hot I’d rape her”
My buddy blinks a couple of times, checks his ears aren’t clogged up with wax and lint.
“Whoah dude, that’s not cool… I mean… she is seriously hot…and I sure wouldn’t mind seeing her in some bondage or something but…”
The assholes butt in: “You’re into S&M?! Are you fucking sick or something?!”
Holy shit.
I can’t believe it.
So these guys think you’re and deplorable if you have an alternative sexual identity, but it's perfectly okay to want to rape a girl?
Fuck, I feel ill to the pit of my burning, nauseous stomach.
I have a request of the male readers of Wet Your Lips *Here*...
Please let me know, via the comments or email that these [resounding shout:] ASSHOLES are merely terrible, terrible anomalies...the spawn of some sister who got it on with her uncle, who both belong to a family so inbred its members resemble maltese poodles...who all live in a town 3 kays away from a nuclear testing site.
Please tell me hearing comments as described above is not a normality you've had to learn to live with when in a men-only conversation.
Please tell me you'd rather tie me up or something weird.
Please tell me you won't tolerate men like that in our society.
Please tell me its not just a bunch of broken or outraged or militant-feminist women in the anti-rape marches and campaigns.
Please tell me you'd never verbally or physically assault someone for being different.
Wow.
This is, without a doubt, The Most Serious Post *Here* Ever...But I really needed to do it.
Now, to make amends, one last favour to ask of you...
If you find one of them blokes that fit the description of "asshole", as stipulated previously, please tell them this:
"Lady Lipstick says you can kiss her ass!!!" (bet it would bruise their ego to be forced to put on the lipstick first too...)
Hmm... And if it's with extra sensuously slick lipstick... They may as well put their back into it...
So now y'all have seen my ass. You're welcome to disagree with me, but I still think it's cute... *Especially* now that I'm seeing it peppered with pouts of silky colour :-) Yay! I'm going to do that more often...
P.S. In case you were wondering, they're still there while I'm typing this. And I added a bouquet to my one nipple for good measure. And one around my belly button. Because I could ;-P

OMFG!
Wow. I don't think I can apologize for the entire male species, but I can say without a doubt that the kinds of comments and verbal tormenting are not the norm.
To say that (a)raping a woman is OK while (b)consentual bondage with same woman is somehow perverse is just a f**ked up result of shallow mixing of the gene pull.
From my observations, those have been the exception, and hopefully not the norm.
The good news: the asshole population is a tiny fraction of the people who roam the earth. It has been my experience that it is their own ignorance and fear (or worse: the possible exposure of said ignorance and fear to the world, and the expected ridicule that they think will ensue) that prompts them to adopt the boorish behavior - no one will notice MY shortcomings if I spend my time making everyone else feel uncomfortable about theirs.
I am 6'5" tall, 255 lbs. - despite that build, I am often selected as the target for aggression by the drunken, insecure, pack-mentality yahoos. I am happy to report that despite being an asshole magnet, avoiding stooping to their level and not allowing myself to be baited has worked out well; I have not thrown a punch since I was 11 years old (which hospitalized the kid I punched and which terrified me). I have had to turn my back on many a loud-mouth, but I have never once second guessed the decision to do so.
The bad news: not ALL assholes are obvious, fight-picking, obscenity-spewing, woman-hating yobs. It is the stealthy, quiet ones whose hatreds and predjudices run deep and don't require an audience that truly frighten me. I have met a few of these in my life, and once I spot them I do whatever I can to avoid them or eliminate them from my daily life.
More good news: the older I get (44 this past year) the more I am astounded at how accepting most people are, and how open-minded the world can be.
Hope that helps a little ...
It's such a shame when siblings procreate.
Beautiful Lady Lipstick,
I owe you an appology. I read through this entry, and like all others who feel strongly enough to reply, I am dismayed at the conduct of people of my gender who think they qualify to be called "men". I fully intended to post something eloquently stating my feelings, and then I ran into the pictures of your beautiful bottom, complete with wonderful lip marks. At that point, my intelect failed me, and all I wanted to do was be included in any group you ask to "kiss your ass". When the blood flow returns to my brain, maybe I can contribute something worth while, but (sic) for the time being, I'm too mezmerised by your incredible backside to do more than drool on my keyboard. Wow.
Bit late, but here goes,
I'm going to say that men, particularly young men, in situations where booze, sports and testosterone are in high demand, in fact DO act like this. Regularly! Most of it is just fear of being considered weak or abnormal or unmanly... and yes, there is something very wrong with the way men behave when they are like this. It's prefectly safe to say things like "I'd tap that ass," or "I'd risk jail-time," or whatever other manly banality comes to thier addled minds.
Also, the whole "tie her up in bondage" thing is going to freak out some of the males... partly due to them being limited morons with no imagination and partly because they might harbor some sort of kink themselves that they aren't willing to admit to in mixed company (hence the seemingly natural "what? are you a f@*%ing freak?" comments).
That being said, allow me to also follow up with this: I would happily and eagarly tie you up with silk and leather, spank that yummy ass of yours, and then sample every color and shade you had accessable to kiss it all better. My god those photos are hot!
In my experience, the word "rape" is pretty much taboo. It's just not a word that you can use casually.
I've watched a lot of football with a lot of guys and watched a lot of hot chicks come on the screen, and I've never heard anyone make a "funny" rape comment.
Ever.
