Somebody’s Scoring Somewhere Janet Kuypers 4/24/15 I could walk into the bar “Sluggers”, right across the street from Chicago Cubs’ Wrigley Field... I could walk into the bar and talk to men there — and if I said, “If you work at it, I bet you could find someone to really play ball with here. Maybe you could swing that bat of yours make it past first, second and third base, and you could score a home run.” And if I said that to men at a bar across the street from an honored baseball field, I’ll bet most of the men wouldn’t be thinking of baseball at all. Because that’s the way a man’s mind works: everything can be reduced to sexual conquests, Get women too drunk to protest — because if you get her drunk enough, maybe you can even score. # If you think I’m kidding, know that a study was done of college-aged men recently, they all seemed to agree that “rape” was wrong, but at the same time upwards of two thirds of the men planned to get a woman drunk enough that they could sexually force themselves upon her. What a way to score, boys — because to you it doesn’t matter how the women feel, to you it only matters who scores the most, because in your mindset, that’s who wins the game.
