(1,173 posts)Look, I mean who else but a child refuses to listen to what their opponent ACTUALLY says, but instead accuses them of saying other things so that they can argue with that more convenient thing? Well, I guess there are other words for people like that, but I didn't see the need to be overly offensive. Trust me, childish was a charitable assessment given the behavior.
Once again, I never once said I know all there is to know about rape. What I said was that I don't require a class on why it's wrong or how to not support those who do it. I most certainly do not know all there is to know about rape having never raped anyone and having never been raped. But I do most certainly know why it's wrong and how to not support it. That in no way whatsoever claims full knowledge of rape itself, it instead says that I don't require a class to teach me why it's wrong or why I shouldn't support rapists, two things I already very-well know. And two things that the vast majority of men know in today's era.
I'm not sure, though, that you understand just what misogyny is, for you've repeatedly accused me of it yet have as of yet to describe in any way just how I've engaged in it. I mean, there is nothing intrinsically misogynist about discussing topics on discussion boards, nor is there anything misogynist about saying that men shouldn't be stereotyped. The topic wasn't just some discussion about rape as you're now implying, it was instead directly focusing on men's attitudes towards rape - a very different thing from what you're suggesting it was - and being a man (and this being a discussion board) I chose to, well, discuss. Imagine that. Boy, what a misogynist I am, eh? LOL, I mean you can't make this stuff up. Sometimes people actually say crap that stupid. It's unreal.
