No doubt she is.

What was expected was the response that AF wouldn't know who she was... ;)

What they have in common is that they are very attractive (and both named Emma), but not top notch, from "Hollywood" standards. Maybe 8 out of 10s. Of course they would stand out in any ordinary room full of people. They also play somewhat nerdy characters. It makes them seem "accessible" to ordinary guys.

In that vein, I would be more Dana Scully than any Emmas...

"Understand," she said, "every attack on Hillary Clinton for not knowing her place is an attack on you." We must all take such attacks personally, she argued: "Underneath almost all those attacks are the words: Get back, get back to where you once belonged."

Hillary's "place" is underneath a pile of the dead bodies of every life she's responsible for fucking over or ending, just like all of her ilk.

I don't play gender favoritism when it comes to cursing out these assholes.

Regardless, I'm too much of a self-centered person right now to care what "women" as a whole do, as if all women are on the same team. Maybe some men out there really do care about the gender of those in power, but I would kill to have a person who cares for liberty in high places whether they're a man or woman.
 
"Feminist" tend to be so far from rational at this point that the term is almost an insult. They're just progressive shills.

No, the wage gap is not real. No, all drunken sex is not rape. No, there is no rape culture. No, twenty, thirty or forty percent of women, or whatever percentage they want to throw out today, have not been raped. No, calling a man or woman a "bitch" or "pussy," is not inherently misogynistic. No, the term "bossy," is not emblematic of a patriarchal society that oppresses women.

They've earned their scorn by dis-empowering the very group they're ostensibly trying to support. Feminists seem absurd now because they make absurd arguments and fight for absurd things.

However, the much greater concern should be when and where the FBI acquired the authority to redefine statutory definitions?

Yeah, everyone knows it's possible but it's just not common at all, and not freaking likely to happen.

Sadly, females have to be aware that there is a possibility of rape because it happens all the time to them. Mostly by the men they know, but they are much more likely to be date raped at a party, or raped at gun-point in a backalley.

In the beginning of the movie Moore attempts to rape Douglas in her office the first night after she becomes his boss. The rest of the movie is about the sexual harassment charges and countercharges, but there is much more going on in the plot that just that.

Disclosure (1994)

In asking 40,000 households about rape and sexual violence, the survey uncovered that 38 percent of incidents were against men.
. . .
The experience of men and women is “a lot closer than any of us would expect,” she says. For some kinds of victimization, men and women have roughly equal experiences. Stemple concluded that we need to “completely rethink our assumptions about sexual victimization,” and especially our fallback model that men are always the perpetrators and women the victims.
. . .
When those cases were taken into account, the rates of nonconsensual sexual contact basically equalized, with 1.270 million women and 1.267 million men claiming to be victims of sexual violence.
. . .
A recent analysis of BJS data, for example, turned up that 46 percent of male victims reported a female perpetrator.
. . .
For example, of juveniles reporting staff sexual misconduct, 89 percent were boys reporting abuse by a female staff member. In total, inmates reported an astronomical 900,000 incidents of sexual abuse.

When Men Are Raped: A new study reveals that men are often the victims of sexual assault, and women are often the perpetrators.


Nearly 3 in 10 women and 1 in 10 men in the United States have experienced rape, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner and reported at least one impact related to experiencing these or other forms of violent behavior in the relationship (e.g., being fearful, concerned for safety, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, need for health care, injury, contacting a crisis hotline, need for housing services, need for victim’s advocate services, need for legal services, missed at least one day of work or school).

We concluded that federal surveys detect a high prevalence of sexual victimization among men—in many circumstances similar to the prevalence found among women. We identified factors that perpetuate misperceptions about men’s sexual victimization: reliance on traditional gender stereotypes, outdated and inconsistent definitions, and methodological sampling biases that exclude inmates.

so that would mean the majority still would have been men raped/sexually assaulted by other men. And really…46 percent? Does this include drugging, enslavement, and violent intercourse?

I'm sorry but most men simply do not fear being raped by a woman. You can toss out any stat you want to support your argument, but you'll have a hard time convincing everyone that women are just as likely to be violent rapists as men are.

As for the domestic abuse thing... I'll buy into that, but I think women are more likely to verbally abuse than to physically beat their husbands...I mean, how many stories do you hear of a woman coming home drunk, beating her kids, and putting her husband’s head through a wall?

No doubt they can fly into a rage just as men do, but I just don't believe that they violently assault and batter in the way men do to them.

Most violent crime and murder are committed by men, btw.

3:10 to 1:10, thus women are about 2/3 more likely to be sexually battered or raped by somebody they are close to, e.g., their "partner"... these are not fifty to one odds, these are not a million in one chance, this is not a then I might just as well play the Lotto situation.

...And while on the subject just how many men drown all of their children, put their babies into microwaves, or shoot their entire family, and for no apparent reason or without any relatable justification?

lol, that is usually the point where some of the MRAs loose me. If a man doesn't want to be "raped", he will not be raped. The same goes with physical abuse. But just like every rule there are few exception
