"Fuck (him) (them) (her), right in the ear" is not a new phrase. It doesn't have anything at all to do with actual sexual activity. You just illustrated more perfectly than any reference to the past I could have made, with a textbook example, the exact behavior I was talking about: intentional divisiveness.

As I said, that is not a new phrase, and does not now have and never has had, not one time ever, anything at all to do with any kind of sexual activity whatsoever. You either think we all are fucking idiots, or you yourself are batshit insane, for trying to make such an absolutely absurd connection. Take your pick, but what you're implying with that lob of mud is such a goddamned motherfucking laughable notion that I actually feel sorry for you, that you blurted such a pile of fresh feces in public the way you did.

But thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for providing such a clear and cogent example, in almost real time, of the exact behavior I was talking about.

"hmmm, gay people are incapable of rape? i did not know that."

No, of course not. We don't rape.

We brainwash. Everyone knows that.

(When a man tells you he won't rape you not only because he believes in gender equality in American society, culture, employment, and interpersonal relationships, and that he has no interest in raping you either as a sexual conquest by force or an expression of power, or for any other reason, but also because he exclusively- 100%- prefers now and has preferred men throughout his lifetime, that man might- just maybe- find it pretty damned insulting to his intelligence, morals, and ethics to be considered a "potential rapist", and he just might shut you the fuck down in a public forum the way I JUST DID.)
