Over time, however, things got a little off topic:#LiberalTips2AvoidRape Tell him you don't believe in guns and don't have one, but you called the cops and they'll arrive in 12 minutes.

And some people who opposed the hashtag’s message stopped by to let Republicans know that they were being dick pig assholes:#LiberalTips2AvoidRape - ask Bill Clinton, he avoided jail for raping Juanita Broddrick.

So it was just another day on the Web 2.0 or whatever, in other words. If you stuck around long enough to find out what all the internet people were talking about, though, you'd discover that conservatives were responding to a confused quote from Joe Salazer, a Democratic Colorado state representative, who seemed to indicate that he thought if women on college campuses were armed, they’d be firing a bunch of shots into the darkness because they were scared. (He later apologized.) Conservatives were also outraged by a list of extremely stupid suggestions of what to do to stop a rapist that was posted by the University of Colorado. The list advised women to puke or piss themselves to “convince the attacker to leave you alone” and “tell your attacker that you have a disease or are menstruating.” The GOP has made headline after headline for being terrible in general on women’s issues and saying awful, offensive stuff about rape and abortion, so it’s not surprising that conservatives jumped at the chance to criticize liberals for similar gaffes. Republicans care about women too: they want to make sure they can own guns.this hashtag proves rape is a joke to republicans. good work guys. good luck in 2014 and 2016 as the pro-rape party #LiberalTips2AvoidRape
