If Only We Could Talk About Abusing Women Like We Do About Abusing Cats: "Missing from the discussion: Wondering if the cat was asking for it by being so cute and easy to torture. Blaming male hormones or implying that because it’s so sexually gratifying to torture a cat, some boys can’t help themselves. Making excuses for the cat torturers by saying that they don’t understand the difference between playing with a cat who wants to play with you and torturing it. Claiming that while cat torture is bad, we shouldn’t be too eager to punish the cat torturers."

This post was deleted for the following reason: A short opinion piece that uses cat torture as a springboard to make a figurative complaint about rape culture and victim-blaming seems like a really bad foundation for a Metafilter thread. -- cortex
