(1,173 posts)You admit that we were stereotyped and then mock the offense as if it were nothing. How very hypocritical of you. I'm 100% sure that if a man were to demean and stereotype a woman here on DU that you'd be outraged, yet you don't seem to share that outrage the other way. It's pure hypocrisy, and it's extremely evident.
I have no idea how your childish mind arrives at the idea that I think I know everything when I said nothing of the sort. What I said is that men as a group aren't universally uninformed about rape, so as a group they don't need "lessons" on the subject because, of course, it's defined in law as a crime, and what's legal and illegal isn't quite as hard to understand as cancer - the preposterous analogy you're attempting to draw. The cold hard fact is that you simply can't get around how it's not okay to stereotype a gender, and are conspicuously attempting to divert attention away from that and towards me, as if my life has anything to bear on whether or not stereotypes are acceptable in society.
With respect to "misogyny," I'm curious as to where you find that in my statement. I said nothing - literally nothing - demeaning women in any way, shape, or form. What I said is that hypocrites aren't often empathized with, they're instead usually shunned. How that has anything to do with demeaning women is a mystery to me. Much as your attempts to defend stereotyping genders remains an unresolved but extremely telling mystery in its own right.
I hate to burst your bubble, sport, but you don't know as much as you think you do. I doubt you've ever been in either the Marines or a fraternity, but yet you think you know exactly what goes on in each and to what extent. Speaking of amazing pieces of work, it takes one to know one.
By the way, where did I threaten you? Did you yank that from the same place as the misogyny BS?
