(1,173 posts)No one anywhere said women's personal experiences don't matter or exist. Tell me, smart one, where did I say that? I didn't and you damn well know it.
What I said is that ALL men don't deserve to be stereotyped for the actions of a few. Tell me how I'm wrong about that. Good luck. You'll need it.
No, I've never diminished a woman's humanity by dismissing her as a "bitch" who I "didn't want anyway." And no, I've never experienced guys dismissing a woman's humanity in the way you described. I've seen it in movies, but life isn't a movie. Most guys upon rejection realize that not every woman wants them in that way, and that it's perfectly fine given that we don't want every woman in that way; e.g. fair is fair, and human sexuality/preferences are what they are.
Nobody told you what rape really is. I certainly didn't. Or if I'm wrong, please tell me where and when I said what rape is and isn't. Point me to my words that say such a thing, please. You won't because you can't because of course they don't exist, beyond those you'd like to put into my mouth that I never said.
Your hostility towards someone not wanting to be stereotyped as a rapist is very telling. It suggests that you're a hypocrite, one who stands against stereotypes only when they offend you personally, but when they sort of buttress some argument of yours then they're just fine. Well, I'm not that way. I've not stereotyped anybody, nor would I condone it in any way were I to hear it. It's a shame that your rage has you standing up in support of stereotypes. Sad, that.
