Anybody who thinks that a few days of attention by our ADD media has solved the Steubenville Rape Culture problem should take a look at this: Rape has been a problem for decades .

It turns out that rape has been epidemic in that town for many years,and has maimed or destroyed who-knows-how- many lives. One brave soul who has decided to share her story is Traci Lords, who was raped at the age of 10 in a field in Steubenville: and no one noticed, no one cared, no one helped, and no one brought her evil s***sack child-molesting rapist to justice.

In other words, pretty much what was happening in the more recent case. That is, until people from out of town decided to shine a light on the Rapist-Friendly town of Steubenville, OH. Had that not happened, it is likely that the victim would have paid for the crime and and the criminals would have gotten off scot-free, as has happened so often before.

Mr. Blunt and Cranky finds it highly improbable that Steubenville is the only town in America where rape (and rape of children and teenagers) is common and goes unpunished. He finds thus because he himself was raped repeatedly (as a young child) back in the 60’s: he has never been to Steubenville. He knows many other survivors of sexual assault, and none of them were raped in Steubenville. And none of them received any support from the adults in their respective communities, nor was any justice done to their raping motherf***er criminal abusers.

Americans are heaping shame and blame on Steubenville, and deservedly so. That town needs beaten repeatedly and severely until it wakes up and sees itself for what it is: a sick and shameful place that hates women, rapes women, and uses sexual violence to control women by keeping them in a state of terror.

While so doing, though, remember that other towns all over America are just as sick, and equally in need of being awakened to their sorry-assed, revolting nature: that being a place that tolerates rapists and punishes their victims.

Instead of just looking at “other places”, we must all have the courage to look under the rugs of our own cities: there are things swept underneath pretty much everywhere, and what we find will sicken us, and hopefully prod us into action.

Traci Lords came forward with her story. Mr Blunt and Cranky, though far less famous, has come forward with his. If everyone can come forward and shine a light on our “hidden” darkness, we might have a chance in Hell of making our nation into what it already claims to be.

For now, though, America is what it is: a sick nation that tacitly encourages rape, and blames the victim instead of the criminal.
