Look, no one is for rape. But that doesn’t mean the nanny state tax-and-spend solution is the answer. A government handout—for law enforcement or otherwise—just, to quote Rep. Paul Ryan, “lulls able-bodied people into lives of complacency and dependency.” All this feminist hand-waving about rape is really just about turning women into victims hooked on federal aid. Real feminists want women to be strong and pick themselves up by their bootstraps, instead of living their lives depending on things like police showing up to your house when you call 911.
I have three words for you women who don’t want rapists breaking into your house: Get. A. Job. That way, you can earn money and pay for a private security firm to guard your house while you sleep. That’s the sort of private enterprise and self-reliance that this country was built on. Government is absolutely terrible at job creation, after all. If they restored those federal funds to Josephine County, where the rape took place, or passed the public safety levy that the patriotic conservative voters rejected, how many cops would they have hired? Ten? Twenty? Even if they hired 100 police officers, that’s fewer jobs created than if every household in the county hired a private security officer to prevent rapists from getting into their houses.
This bullshit article on slate.com got me mad af rn (via queen-of-everything)
……is this real fucking life right now
is this supposed to be satire because you can’t call this satire

I’ll give this man a hypothetical that he meant satire (slate?) and say fuck him cause I have heard conversations that mirror this from the many libertarian jerks in my office.
Now I’m no English major, but doesn’t that mean you failed at satire? Isn’t that Poe’s Law? Your satire sucks so hard it’s indistinguishable from real life bullshit?
