The sexual threats against Emma Watson are an attack on every woman

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

PEEVE ALERT

You meant to write that you don't play SEX favoritism. Gender is not a characteristic of living beings. Gender attaches only to NOUNS.

Now, if you have good sense, you will be quietly embarrassed by this and will learn not to make the error a second time after this.

No charge... this time.
 
Men can be raped by women, but... c'mon. Really? Really?

What do you mean, really? If it happens, isn't it important enough to report? I don't understand why we need to ignore these things when we all acknowledge that they happen. Why is a man's rape so much less important?
 
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.

Nobody's saying that. All I'm saying is why are we trying to ignore it as if it's not even something to be considered?
 
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

How do you know this is always true? Men HAVE been raped, so why ignore it? "If a man doesn't want to be raped" suggests that anybody can want rape, which is ridiculous on its face. It has happened, and therefore it was NOT wanted. So why is it treated as meaningless if it really does happen? How would you like it if your rape was treated as non-important? I'm sure the guys who were raped face some pretty harsh victim-blaming and opposition from society because of people like you who, for some reason, think it's okay to belittle one kind of rape and aggrandize another. Nobody's rape should be "no big deal."

And yes, I realize that men really should be able to defend themselves, but in the rare situations where they are unable, it should not be dismissed as being less harmful or degrading than a woman's rape. If anything, it's more harmful and degrading just by virtue of the fact that it happens. And society thinks it's okay to just dismiss those cases and justice need not be pursued. Even if the man is a wimp for getting raped, that doesn't mean it's suddenly okay to blame the victim and value justice less.

It's just not a big issue because women are consistently raped and men are not (at least by women). That is not downplaying it at all, it's not a widespread problem the way male/female rape is.

Depends on your definition of rape... if you mean sexual penetration, then probably true. If you mean rape of the mind, then you haven't met the same women I have. The world in here (in the US) *revolves* around the women and their ideals or else....

..And you know idiots used to hold this very same warped mentality before rape laws were amended to take spousal rape into consideration.

It happens to the weak spaghetti-armed men and the passed-out drunk men. A percentage of the latter don't really care and only wish they would have been awake.

I don't know how to respond to this. Can you rephrase it? I'm not entirely sure what you mean.

I hope you're not comparing a 'victim'of a nagging wife, which a husband could freely leave, to a victim of a violent rape which carries lifelong scars and a multitude of health issues.
 
I've had women drug my drinks with Viagra and later tie me up. Have any of you gone to ER with Priapism? It is not pleasant.

True story: we had a patient who took way too many pills and his wife finally convinced him to go to the hospital after a week. Things had to be drained, and not in the pleasant way at all. The term "gray discharge" was distinctly used. Pretty sure he had long term vascular tissue damage, as one might expect.

As to the pessimist thing, no, I don't think he's a woman. I think he's a particular type of guy who always takes what he thinks is a woman-friendly position to ingratiate himself. Sometimes --- hell, most of the time --- it is really over the top and even the ladies are just looking at the post wondering "wtf?" It's akin to a lot of the guys who'll join NOW protests or even became hippies. "We're just here for the Free Love chicks."

Finally, at this point, every time I see the thread title it brings a song to mind...



...and so I now hate this thread for that reason.

Gordon Liddy? lol...he used to loose his shit over this very subject on his radio show. It's a pet peeve of mine as well. This and "humankind", "police officer", "firefighter"...etc.

Lol why on earth would I choose a liberterian forum full of manly gun-lovers and old school values in attempt to pick up virtual chicks?

I'd just go to some feminist site or some other female heavy place and pretend to be gay.

I just have different brain wiring or something... I was misdiagnosed as an aspie as a child.
