Inside A Date Rapist’s Living Hell
Aaron P. Taylor’s club is a very boring place to be.
Last November, I outlined some advice for well-meaning sexists on How Not to Advise Women Not to Get Raped. The post was in response to a guy named Aaron P. Taylor, who, in response to getting shut down by a female in da club, penned a manifesto entitled “Advice 4 Women: How to NOT Get a ‘Deserved Raping.’” The essay warned women against behaviors that indicate that she really “wants it”—even when her actual words (in the case of Taylor’s target, “Naaaaaaah!”) indicate that she actually does not want to have sex!
These behaviors include:
Warning, Extended Reference to Jizz Video Corner
This SNL digital short, featuring Andy Sandberg and fellow Lonely Island member Akiva Schaffer—along with lovely ladies Jamie Lynn Sigler and Molly Simms—is an ode to coming in your pants. Hey, where are you going? Hold on just one second, I have something to say about this!
Ahem. Is this not the perfect comedic corollary to Aaron P. Taylor, the D.C. blogger who instructed a woman how not to lead a man on, causing him to rape her (and to whom I crafted this rebuttal?) I maintain that it is! As Sandberg and Schaffer so deftly illustrate, men can claim to have been “led on” by such tempting displays as close dancing, grapes, strong winds, and Haley Joel Osment.
Advice on How Not to Advise Women Not to Get Raped
A few weeks ago, I wrote a post about Aaron P. Taylor, a blogger who claimed his 15 minutes of Internet fame by penning a manifesto entitled, “Advice 4 Women: How to NOT Get a ‘Deserved Raping.’” The post advised women on behavior they ought to avoid if they’d like to prevent men from wanting to rape them. Helpful, no? And yet, some readers of the blog of Aaron P. Taylor found this advice offensive.
Others came to Taylor’s defense. And they’re still coming. Earlier this week, a commenter on this blog, calling him or herself “Rational Reader,” posted this response to my Taylor post (relive Rational Reader’s other comments on this blog here and here and here):
Being able to emotionally detach one’s self from an issue and look at it analytically is such a wonderful ability. Unfortunately, it also seems to be one that the majority of commentators here do not possess, or at least are unwilling to utilize. . . . Saying that Aaron here advocates for, apologizes for, enables, excuses, condones, or blames the victim for rape is *logically* no different than saying a locksmith giving free advice on the best type of locks is an advocate, apologist, enabler, etc. of burglary. The only difference between the two is *emotional* and hence irrelevant.
I understand that Aaron P. Taylor and his supporters are trying to help women not get raped. Great! But guys: If those same women perceive you to be a condescending rape apologist, they may not be terribly receptive to your advice. Let’s look at how you might better communicate your valuable anti-rape tips to the ladies, shall we?

Rape Blogger Looking For Love in D.C.
Meet Aaron P. Taylor. He recently moved to Washington, D.C., and he totally understands what you’re going through—particularly if you are a rapist! (Ladies, he’s single).
Last week, after returning from a disappointing dancing session in da club, where Taylor learned some harsh lessons about love, loss, and getting totally shut down by a hot girl, Taylor had a lot to think about. So he sat down at his computer and carefully compiled his thoughts in an entry on his blog, “UnCommoN SENSE with Aaron P. Taylor.” The entry, “Advice 4 Women: How to NOT Get a ‘Deserved Raping,’” was a quick primer on how girls might avoid doing things that would lead them to be responsible for their own rapes (the riddle of undeserved rapes yet to be deciphered by Aaron P. Taylor).
