One of the many stupid ways to waste your time on Facebook is by sending people “flair”—basically little icons users can put on their profile pages that represent their interests (i.e. a piece of flair of Harry Potter naked, or a piece of flair stating your love for boxed wine). But you can also send people flair that promotes rape! Like all of the ones above! So not funny right? I suppose the people behind the “Flair” application thought that rape was just like any issue, with a pro side and a con side and since they had so many anti-rape pieces of flair, they need to have some pro ones as well. Leave a message on the application’s wall, if this pisses you off. [Facebook: Pieces of Flair via Feministing]

THAT IS SOOO MESSED UP.
I would say I laugh at the most inappropriate things, but this is NOT FUNNY!
Hate to say it, but sounds like a really moronic and ignorant man was behind this one.

Let’s castrate the creator before s/he is actually able to act on their mottos.

I say we all create flair buttons that slam whoever created those pro-rape buttons. That is just so wrong and insensitive!

pretty stupid idea, but younger people have a different definition of “rape” than older women.
there wasn’t a day that went by when I was in high school that girls didn’t talk about “rape” and laughed about it.
first, we’re told to not care about breasts on facebook. next, we’re told to stop free speech!
gee women are a pain in the ass.

I went on FB and searched the flair page for “rape” and only found anti-rape buttons. Are you sure these are legit?
