As a libertarian feminist, I am glad to see that discussion of rape culture is coming up in libertarian circles. Shawndell Hoyt and Tiffany Thorne, two of my fellow organizers with SlutWalk SLC, recently talked with libertarian Jake Shannon on his show Mental Self Defense Radio. Trigger warning for discussion of sexual violence, as well as tons of misogynistic male callers who apparently think bringing up rape is “man hating.” Such allegations are a common response to any discussion of gender violence, and have been pervasive in comments on previous blog posts and articles I’ve published here at C4SS.

Nathan, these guys are angry because they are becoming irrelevant. Their time of domination is coming to an end. They are similar to the immigration fear mongers or the grumpy old white guys that get defensive anytime someone brings up the facts about racially-motivated violence, slavery or other topics. Their America–a country where women/minorities "knew their place"–is withering away. This is their last gasp.
