In reply to the discussion: "Men's Rights" cracks me up. [View all]BainsBane
(57,775 posts)141. What makes you think I owe you anything?
You don't own this site, and you don't own me. Nothing about my life is any of your business. If you are so interested, do a search. There was an OP in HOF on the subject.
I see no reason to explain myself to someone who called a survivor of child rape an abuser.
The only thing new is Woody Allen's film award recently. This controversy is nothing more than an attempt to detract from that. Thus, regardless of the past, Dylan is the abuser now.

Did you apologize to that thread full of rape survivors who were insulted by that remark that conjured up feelings of self blame that invariably afflict survivors of child rape? No, you doubled down on the insult.
You have no moral authority to question me. That comment above told me everything I need to know about you. I suggest you turn that critical eye on yourself for a change. I will never see you as anything other than a person who called a survivor of child rape an abuser for daring to speak about her father's violation of her, something you claim to be less significant than a movie award.
As for the link, no she doesn't owe me it. Her inability to provide links, however, serves as a pretty good indication that her allegations in that OP were unfounded. She of course is free to post as she chooses, just as thinking people are free to disregard her allegations against DUers since she could provide no evidence.
