There is nothing funny about rape. We are in agreement. But this reeks of entitlement. You aren’t privy to assaulting people on the street because they offend you. Men who take up this mantra of emotionally justified aggravated assault are called Felons.

Graciela Camano, the head of a Contitutional Affairs Commission, slaps her political opponent in Argintinian Parliament on live TV. I researched the incident and Graciela later said that he was ignoring her…so she slapped him across the face.
Did you see how she just walked off? I showed this to my roomate who said she’s “a strong woman”. Really?
