[the strange guy]

Where's the 'How to spot a potential rapist' article on the website?

 

[nooleen]

that's passed on by word of mouth, we don't want you guys to realise we're wise to you.

 

[the strange guy]

Someone must have a copy of it!
It's absolutely essential reading.
Watch out, confident extroverts! You're going to get a hiding.

 

[nooleen]

think i'll back slowly away from this can of worms...

 

[Cormcolash]

Sure spotting potential rapists is easy. They're all bigger, have broader shoulders and more muscular arms and legs, have shorter hair, and lack breasts. Totally different from normal human beings.

 

[nooleen]

they also have external sexual organs. unless you're talking about northern european women.

 

[Cormcolash]

Yeah but you don't usually see those through their clothes because they are all so small.

 

[nooleen]

i'm afraid you've lost me there...say something sexist and set off a massive ruckus would you, oly for one is hanging out for a norms versus fems showdown but hasn't the balls to spark it.

 

[Corm]

Hohoho...

I was asked to look up the RAG article by my committed wombyn life partner goddess. She wants to be able to spot those tell-tale "who's the potential rapist at the party" warning signs detailed in the zine for her own safety. No joy on finding it so far. However, she was reassured when I told her that even if we can't find the article, at the very least we know that rapists are so unlike other men that you can write a page or two about their behaviour and appearance.

 

[damien]

broken record, anyone?

 

[nooleen]

no ta, but...was there actually such an article? i assumed the very idea was a pisstake of how feminism might become unstable.

 

[ClareB]

Here is the lovely cover of RAG no.2.

I'm sure you can get a look at RAG no.1 at the launch if you want to read any articles from it. Hopefully all articles from no.1 will be on-line soonish. Nice to know you were checking the site anyway, hopefully while you were there you took a read of some of the other pieces?

Hope this image is attached ok...

That article has been criticised elsewhere by quite a few people in different places, mostly by *golly gosh* other women and feminists. I'm not sure but I think some mebers of RAG may have even admitted as much. Either way, it doesn't and shouldn't take away from what overall is actually a fucking great anarcha-feminist magazine and group.
And my god do I truelly mean that when you read some of the utter shite that passes for (anarcha)feminism nowadays *cough* american punks *cough* for example
