Technically it is Jamaal510 Dec 2013 #139

Was it necessary to start a new OP? 1000words Dec 2013 #2

yes. because someone got a comment hidden based on again wrong assumptions Pretzel_Warrior Dec 2013 #4

Yeah and Rodney Dangerfield is a paragon xulamaude Dec 2013 #27

That and your generally crappy attitude toward the women at DU Matariki Dec 2013 #34

I have a great attitude toward many women on DU. Cha, sheshe2, sabrina1, and many others Pretzel_Warrior Dec 2013 #133

You just have a crappy attitude. Tick tock. morningfog Jan 2014 #151

So what was your point? BainsBane Dec 2013 #59

He was locked out of the other thread for joking about gang rape. LeftyMom Dec 2013 #5

telling someone they will be "gang-educated" boston bean Dec 2013 #21

He is horrible at hiding that. pintobean Dec 2013 #112

What? cyberswede Dec 2013 #113

I was just joking. pintobean Dec 2013 #119

I don't try to hide it. Pretzel_Warrior Dec 2013 #131

Because your excuse reeks of BS. Your pun references bettyellen Dec 2013 #83

Nope. Your knowledge base is too narrow if Pretzel_Warrior Dec 2013 #92

Dude, I've seen this kind of flame out. You won't be long. morningfog Jan 2014 #153

I agree that was over the line. Just because the OP was a little misguided doesn't mean nomorenomore08 Jan 2014 #163

Whatever disagreements we have here... NoOneMan Jan 2014 #164

I don't think it's demanding too much of you to not make rape jokes NuclearDem Dec 2013 #143

didn't and you are quite aware of it Pretzel_Warrior Dec 2013 #144

Yes you did. NuclearDem Dec 2013 #146

He's heading for a ban anyway. This is some entertaining flaming out. morningfog Jan 2014 #156

Spectacularly so. NuclearDem Jan 2014 #162

I think it was arguably ambiguous at the very least, given the context. nomorenomore08 Jan 2014 #165

After making a gang rape "joke" that was hidden on LeftyMom's thread, you think this is myrna minx Dec 2013 #8

I find your explanation disingenuous, but by all means, please proceed. myrna minx Dec 2013 #12

I absolutely agree. RC Jan 2014 #168

Yeah, the bad mean feminists are the aggressors here. How dare they mention anything that makes nomorenomore08 Jan 2014 #169

This is DU. Are we not on the same side here? RC Jan 2014 #171

I thought you were turning it around to blame somebody else, even though I never singled you nomorenomore08 Jan 2014 #173

If you were dealing with a culture that devalues your gender and facilitates rape NuclearDem Jan 2014 #170

Who around here is denying the disparity problem exists? RC Jan 2014 #172

"pack of aggressive people" NoOneMan Dec 2013 #149

So basically because you don't like it = it's bad? Glassunion Dec 2013 #11

I stated pretty clearly what I found wrong with it. Pretzel_Warrior Dec 2013 #13

So was there anything in the video you disagree with? Glassunion Dec 2013 #31

You think there is an enlightened discussion to be had with people who treat women like this? Ohio Joe Dec 2013 #14

No hypocrisy there. pintobean Dec 2013 #82

Are you in charge of when people are allowed to post? polly7 Dec 2013 #84

No, I was just making an observation. I thought that was clear. boston bean Dec 2013 #86

these multiple postings of videos of guys telling other guys what they should think is just dumb loli phabay Dec 2013 #49

Someone giving an opinion does not amount to telling people what to think BainsBane Dec 2013 #51

and yet when someone gives an opinion that disagrees some feel the need to try to tell them loli phabay Dec 2013 #53
