Well, now…CNN still has some chops:
The former video of Elliot Rodger has been made “private” now, so one cannot view his rant on how deserving he is of women’s attention and sex. One cannot see the blatant sense of entitlement. Nor his viewing women as objects for his personal pleasure.
I love that CNN explored this topic–one that women deal with on a daily basis, but has been ignored by mainstream media…well, ANY media, be it liberal or conservative. Women’s concerns, up to now, have been ignored or if any attention is given to it, their concerns are belittled to be insignificant. Elliot Rodger is a product of the rape culture–I’ll take what I want if she won’t give it to me willingly.
My other posts on rape culture:

In France.
In Australia.
Native American women, who, until very recently, could be raped without retribution.

They’re only raping prostitutes…
The alleged abuse of Terry Richardson….and how he’s allowed to get away with his predatory behavior by those that employ him and even praise him.
Lastly, the alleged abuse of Dylan Farrow by Woody Allen.
