Comment Re:You really want a rape analogy? (Score 2, Insightful) 278

It's more like the rapists would always target the skirt wearers over the pants wearers because of the relative lower barrier to entry and the pants wearers would try to convert their skirt wearing sisters from their erroneous ways by calling them little sluts and being condescending.

What the pants wearers don't realize is that it takes a significant investment of time and effort to learn how to slip into a pair of pants for people who don't sew pants for a living. Thus, the skirt wearers would rather spend extra money on mace or pepper spray that they can operate with a push of a button in times of emergency.

Thing is, the pepper sprays leak into their skirts and whatever garments they are wearing underneath and leave them with a burning sensation and even then the skirt wearers would rather burn their coochies than learn how to slip into a pair of pants.

"So the sage's governing methods are:
Emptying the mind, Vitalizing the stomach,
Softening the will, Strengthening the character."

- Tao Te Ching, Chapter 3:2

Maybe they think porn ruins a person's character? Though I think it's more applicable to the "Softening the will" part.

However the only problem is that these RFID tags need a external antenna. Next time you go to Mega Lo Mart you might get sprinkled with this pixie dust er powder-sized RFID tags so that they can serve (track) you better."
