May 30, 2013 | Rant at Jeremiah James Smith

 You were VERY inconsiderate tonight and I just found out that you've been sexually harassing my wife in your messages to her. I don't know or care what you think gives you the right to ask someone what happened when they were drugged, or what state of undress they're in, or to continue to harass someone with your "opinion" after they've repeatedly asked you to stop. She was raped that night, and she got pregnant, and so in her mind, NOT having a choice is NOT an option. You don't have a uterus and you will never have to make the decision to keep or dispose of a fetus. You don't get a say because you don't have a woman's body, and you will never have to face the risk of an unwanted pregnancy. Abortion clinics provide a NEEDED service, and you do NOT have the right to try to tell a woman that it's "bad" to kill a parasite growing inside of her. It is not your body. It is hers.

 You also do not have the right to ask someone what their "real" name is. That is incredibly disrespectful and entitled. You do NOT have the right to ask someone to indulge one of your fetishes unless you are in a relationship with them and I can assure you that you will NEVER have a relationship of any kind with her, friends or otherwise. I will print out the messages she forwarded to me and I will make them public. Whether you want to see it or not, you are wrong. You hurt someone just to get a point across that nobody wanted to hear you make in the first place, and now you're whining to all your little friends about how oppressed you are that you can't be heard.

 Well, hear this. Your side of the argument doesn't count. Your side is irrelevant. Any man who thinks he can control a woman's body is patriarchal scum. How dare you invoke an anxiety attack! How dare you trivialize her pain just so you can feel like you've had your say! Your say is worth nothing, but that girl is everything to me. Tonight, you saw her friends and family stand by her side and tell you, one by one, how wrong you are. And you are wrong. You think it's your right to force your opinion on someone and then mock them when they tell you to back off. You think it's your right to ask invasive questions and objectify someone. You think it's your right to continue a conversation that has no business existing in the first place, and you think it's your right to intrude on someone else's post and spew your bile everywhere. It's not. You don't have any of those rights. Your right to free speech ends where someone else's right to NOT be violated, triggered, or traumatized begins.

 And just so that it's clear that you do not have the right to retaliate, I will be blocking you so you can't reply. Thank you and goodnight. Asshole.
