Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte says "beautiful women" are to blame for rape crisis

This kind of “reasoning” is also why I think it is wrong to remark on someone as having a “punchable face”. Both are excuses for why it’s the victim’s fault for being a desirable target for violence.

Good Christ. These are some of the humans ‘in charge’. I’ve got a kid who, should there still be institutes of higher learning, will be among the class of 2031. It used to sound like a sci-fi future time, that felt like it would never be real. Now, I have grave concerns that it never will be a real point in the human timeline.

Kinda mouthy for a guy who’s going to end up hiding in a spider hole - if he’s lucky.

No C-130 to Hawaii in his future.

This shouldn’t be that shocking, disgusting but not shocking. One of the first incidents that put him in the international spotlight was pro-rape commentary. https://www.cnn.com/2016/04/17/asia/philippines-election-rodrigo-duterte-gang-rape-comments/index.html The next incident after that was mocking and downplaying the rape of his own daughter http://time.com/4300382/rodrigo-duterte-philippines-daughter-rape-sara-inday-president-jacqueline-hamill/ So, yeah pro-rape and genocide, I get why the orange one is a fan.
