Scott Adams says something misogynist; news at 11


Scott Adams thinks rape is a natural instinct of men, and that asking them not to rape is oppressive. Seriously:

If a lion and a zebra show up at the same watering hole, and the lion kills the zebra, whose fault is that? Maybe you say the lion is at fault for doing the killing. Maybe you say the zebra should have chosen a safer watering hole. But in the end, you probably conclude that both animals acted according to their natures, so no one is to blame...

The part that interests me is that society is organized in such a way that the natural instincts of men are shameful and criminal while the natural instincts of women are mostly legal and acceptable. In other words, men are born as round pegs in a society full of square holes. Whose fault is that? Do you blame the baby who didn’t ask to be born male? Or do you blame the society that brought him into the world, all round-pegged and turgid, and said, “Here’s your square hole”?


Won't someone think of the poor, erect penises? How will they exercise their God-given right to have a hole to occupy, if the person attached to the hole is allowed to say "no"?

Wat.

natural instincts

Yeah, no, what?

/reads the comments on the blog post:
gr8hands: I love people who feel qualified to lecture professional comics and cartoonists on humor (or satire). I particularly think it amusing that they don't see how stupid it makes them look

No, seriously, WAT.

Apparently some people fail to realize if the "satire" is missed by most of the readers, it might be the fault of the satirist, not the readers. But I'm not about to read the post to evaluate, since I want to keep my Friday a relatively happy one.

Clearly, we have to find some professional humorists to tell this guy to STFU, if that's his sticking point. Is Dave Barry busy at the moment?

If this were humourous or satirical, he might have had a point.
