(3,747 posts)The fakirs who rely on basic physics. Force downwards on a single nail drives it through the skin. Force downwards on a thousand nails makes the pressure 1/1000th less on each nail. There's videos of people on a board of nails with another on top getting sledgehammered. Look it up. As for firewalkers, they move quickly enough that their skin doesn't burn. The coals are also specially prepared so they don't burn their feet. It's not magic.
I think my point is this: your story is full of holes. Your level of knowledge about this supposed incident is constantly changing, and complete crap as far as the burn goes. Maybe I'm wrong. Prove it to me and I'll apologize.
For now, I'm going to assume you're one of the typical people who distract and deflect from the real problems at hand. Yes, there are men abused in our legal system, and yes, there are men being harmed elsewhere. But there are things far worse and with simply staggering frequency happening to women, everywhere. There are massive cultural and other blocks women have to overcome. To come and try to deflect from that, to try and tell women that their systematic suffering is somehow equivalent to that of relatively few men?
I'm calling bullshit.
With perserverance and lot of work, we'll be able to fix a lot of society's gender problems. But people like you deflect and minimize. They block progress. They hurt people, if indirectly. And I can't stand it.
