In reply to the discussion: Lucy Flores with Bernie Sanders' hand on her shoulder [View all]unblock
(56,198 posts)19. i didn't equate it. does no one understand logic anymore?
try to follow the logic here.
the o.p. implied that she gave consent in one situation, therefore she must be lying about having not given consent in another situation.
all i did was point out that everyone here would recognize that this logic is completely bogus if the subject were rape rather than a hand on the shoulder or a sniff of the hair.
there is *nothing* in my posts that even remotely suggests that i or anyone else says that a hand on the shoulder "equates" to rape.
that is just another illogical distraction that only serves to cover for the fact that the original post was an offensive perpetuation of a sexist trope.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Please delete. Would you say a rape victim is not to be believed if she ever had sex?

No, she works for OR. I think she is lying and a hand on the shoulder is not rape,

No, she doesn't work for Our Revolution. She publicly left them almost a year ago.

It's relevant. For one thing it points to the absence of a photo supporting her claim.

The fact that a picture of her exists points to a lack of a pic of a specific moment?

the o.p. was toxic by perpetuating a sexist logical fallacy and rhetorical argument.

It has nothing to do with rape or sexual assault. Her complaint is about ordinary social touching.

As a victim of sexual assault do not equate what happened to her to what happened to me.

Imagine. A man saying "It is not good enough for someone to say, 'I'm a woman' Vote for me!"

I don't get it. Are you saying it's weird that a woman might have opinions about who can
