The automatic intentional walk is a brilliant idea – right up there with national holidays on Mondays and the Common Core Curriculum.

It is estimated that approximately 16 million people stayed home from work on the day after last year’s Super Bowl.

This epitomizes what a "rape culture" is: sloughing off of the real issues, blaming the victim, contemptuous laughter about the victim's situation.
