Semantics

I'd like to begin referring to rapists as RAPERS, victims of rape will be called Rapees.  Not that I have a frequent need to use the word in everyday converstion,  but I'm never above shaking things up a bit.  It's Fresh.

I'll not use a picture in this post out of respect for Rapees.

Family Man

Something never sat quite right with me about Dirty Dancing, and it took me awhile to figure out what it was. If you've seen it, ask yourself what Dirty Dancing was about. If you say something like "the rebellion of youth" you're an idiot.

When I see the film, I see a family vacation. It's probably a family tradition or something, either way the dad's been working his ass off to save for it. He's probably spent countless days looking at the clock waiting to go home, thinking that it'll all be worth it when he takes the wife and kids away for the week in the summer. He can finally spend more time with the kids, maybe fulfill some promises he made to them but never got round to finishing.

Then Patrick Swayze shows up, like a fucking sexual predator stealing away his daughter. He tries to warn her, he's heard about his kind before. You don't have to try hard to imagine that this won't be the first young girl he's tried to groom while working here, hell it's probably not the first girl he's banged this week. Look at him, he's probably got syphilis.

Can you blame him for trying to stop Patrick Swayze fucking his daughter?
