It has been pointed out many times that men cannot appreciate the horror of being raped. Can women appreciate the horror of being falsely accused of rape? According to this list (wild guess here) 30% of sexual encounters would be considered "rape". Do you actually endorse this?
Sam,
You can always cry on my shoulder (unless I'm wearing an expensive suit). That's a guarantee.

I gave my dummies version, do you see anything wrong with that?

What if a girl asks you to rape her? (Not drugged or intoxicated in any way)
What if a girl asks you to rape her? (Not drugged or intoxicated in any way)
Rule of thumb, if she says No, or cannot say anything, don't do it.
I fully understand your position for cases wherein women distinctly say "no"; however, "cannot say anything" doesn't necessarily mean "no", does it? My rule of thumb is simple: presumed consent. I'm a handsome guy with a great personality, so I simply assume that if she was in a position to give consent, she most assuredly would. It's not a farfetched idea though, when you think about it: dead bodies which aren't claimed usually become cadavers used for medical purposes under "presumed consent" laws.

From: http://members.tripod.com/feministhate/id51.htmAll Men Are Rapists
Who said that?
Its a well know feminist quote, but I often see it being mis-credited. Usually by someone criticizing feminism these days. Was it Andrea Dworkin? She denies it. Catharine MacKinnon? Not quite. It comes from "The Women's Room" by Marilyn French and is spoken by a fictional character in the book,
"Whatever they may be in public life, whatever their relations with men, in their relations with women, all men are rapists and that's all they are. They rape us with their eyes, their laws, their codes."
Now admittedly that quote is representative of the book, and the book was a thinly veiled piece of feminist doctrine, and the phrase was picked up by real women of the time, and the book was the most popular selling feminist book of its time, and continues to sell well today... however a quick internet search for the phrase reveals that it is currently mostly used by critics of feminism and by feminist pages with a "not" in front. As in "not all men are rapists". Interesting that some feel this needs to be said... quite reminiscent of the way the KKK explicitly say they oppose violence...
Correction: It seems Marilyn French also used the phrase in her own voice in an interview, but I'm trying track this source down.
At any rate there seems to be some distancing from this phrase by feminists!
http://fathersforlife.org/feminism/quotes1.htmLogic is not a strong point of feminists, regardless of which sex they belong to. Feminists deprecate logic. They hold that logic has no redeemable qualities and dismiss it as patriarchal linear thinking. According to feminist doctrine, women's feelings (they call them "women's way of knowing") trump all facts and all logic.

They believe this BS. Some of the 51 points are actually valid, but the philosophy behind them is strikingly inconsistent
These 51 points certainly seem like femtroll material to me. Anyone have comments?
Why can't we all accept responsibility for what we, as individuals, choose to do?
Sorry you didn't get the reference, perhaps you should expand your horizons?Okay, you're a fruit. Fine with me.
Tell us Tiassa, which points do you actually agree with? You can find one point to object to? Which one? You say "a rapist has used that point as a defense". That makes the point invalid? Oh, and provide links, please.So which of those points do you actually disagree with? I can only find one point to object to, but the thing is that somewhere, a rapist has used that point as a defense.
Knew you couldn't go a whole post without an ad hom. Actually, I am quite happy, or whatever antonym to "angry" you prefer. It would seem that it is the leftist, panty waist, liberal, feminist, do gooders that get angry over this topic. I imagine you will soon lock this thread, just like the other...Why is it that I've never heard of this "femtroll" except from angry boys like yourself?

(1) Angrybellsprout, please confirm via private message that you are of are not the original author of the list.
• If the answer is yes, proceed to point two below.
• If the answer is no, stop here. This thread will remain closed for plagiarism.
(2) Having confirmed your original authorship of this list, please establish how a list of your making represents "feminist copypasta".
You are on a clock, sort of. Get back to me via private message in the next few minutes, and I will deal with this now. However, as it's creeping toward four in the morning here, and I have things to do later today, I'll be asleep soon.
Here you go.
Recommended reading (for ABS, too), from Feminism 101:
Yes, why, indeed? Looking over that list, I'm struck at the stupidity of the things rapists will say in their defense.
12. If you don't bother to ask her permission and she says neither 'Yes' or 'No' then you could be a rapist.
What's going on there. If she's ripping your clothes off obviously it;s not rape just because she did not use the word 'yes'.
Logic? What?
Tiassa is a great example of this.

Your logic sucks, Tiassa. You never bothered to ask me if I believe in the feminist movement. Equal pay for equal work, etc. Absolutely, I agree. I also think that some people take things to the extreme. I have a problem with that. You can go play with your "Recommended reading". These are real issues, affecting everyone. I live in the real world, not an ivory tower.
I imagine you will soon lock this thread, just like the other...
... Offends your sensibilities, doesn't it?
What? What are you going on about here? Are you just reiterating the party line "all men are rapists"? What?
Missing the point? Dude, it's my thread. The point is, do you believe that feminists go overboard sometimes? Or, is any and every act justified in the pursuit of a goal?You seem to be an expert in missing the point, but that doesn't exactly surprise me.
I actually don't care about the reference. You're one of a few members who seem to have a weird obsession with me. Like Lepus, for instance, who will post topics specifically as angry retorts to me. I mean, you couldn't have posted this topic without calling me out? That's your problem, and you shouldn't be making it mine.
http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-huc1.htm[Q] From Cristlyn Randazzo: “What is the origin of the expression ‘I’ll be your Huckleberry’? What exactly does it mean?”
[A] What it means is easy enough. To be one’s huckleberry — usually as the phrase I’m your huckleberry — is to be just the right person for a given job, or a willing executor of some commission.
Actually, I asked the question first. What comments do you have on this "list"?This is familiar: you refusing to answer a question while asking one in exchange.
http://www.sciforums.com/showpost.php?p=1918048&postcount=1Anyone have comments?
Ad hom... Ho hum... Anyway, you are right. This is what I'm trying to say, women like to fuck (sorry, shag) just as much as men. Where do the fem**** get off saying all men are rapists?But to make it perfectly clear, since you're apparently incapable of discussing anything in good faith, a woman has as much right to get drunk and have a shag as a man does.
Ya know, you wouldn't know "misogynist" from ummm, from... I am at a loss for words in the presence of your intellect. I don't think you even know what "misogynist" means.Are you proposing that this list is drawn out of thin air? God, you're even more a misogynist than I thought.
No.Do you really believe no man accused of rape has ever used the fact of a woman's intoxication as part of his defense?
But, no Tiassa, my world revolves around you.... Say it ain't true.Very well. I'll go grab some links for you. But later. I have more important things to do than entertain you.
Actually, it's the dishonesty that's annoying. See, here's the thing: I know lots of feminists. I'm a liberal who lives just outside Seattle, so it's almost inevitable that I would know a lot of feminists. But the only time I ever see or hear about lists like these, they come from someone complaining about feminism and feminists. I wonder why that is?
I wonder why that is?
Confused, Tiassa?The angry bunch, the misogynists, are doing more to promote this brand of "feminism" than the feminists. And no, we don't need to wonder why that is.
It doesn't matter whether or not you believe in equal pay for equal work.
In your topic post, you wrote, "These 51 points certainly seem like femtroll material to me." In other words, you took one list, allegedly written by a feminist—described by the website you got the list from as "a 34 year old cumdumpster from Ohio"—and attributed it to feminism ("femtroll material"). Hence, the two links discussing the fact that one feminist does not represent feminism, and cannot be automatically presumed to represent another feminist.
Dude, what is it with you and my "honesty"? Every single post of mine that you reply to includes some sort of allegation of my "lying". Prove any of this, or apologise. I am sick of this ad hom on your part!!! Back to the topic, I would think my views on feminism would be relevant, in that I am not bashing the movement, but rather the extremists. I will do the sale with religious fundamentalists, etc...Whether or not you think you believe in the feminist movement is a separate question entirely. I would suggest you turn your critical eye toward your own logic, but with one difference: try doing it honestly.
Actually, what offends my sensibilities is your continued dishonesty. The fact that the topic itself is completely moronic isn't grounds to close it. If you bothered to read what you're whining about, you would notice that the major point of contention was plagiarism, which you've solved in a manner satisfactory to the rules. Of course, it apparently wasn't worth your time to post the topic sincerely, but since we've bent over backwards to accommodate a complete lack of good faith among our members for the last several years, at least, that's no reason to shut the topic down.
So quit your goddamn bawling and try making an honest point for once.
OMG....Okay, let's start with a question: Have you ever gotten laid according to circumstances not included in that list?
All questions should exist. Isn't that the point of intelligent life?Seriously. I don't see what's so hard about the idea that certain questions would not exist had someone not attempted to exploit them.
Of course, since you're apparently unwilling to list the points you disagree with, we can't explore those.
Piss off....Then again, neither should anybody be surprised at that.
How would you know?Good faith, Randwolf, goes a long way.
Really? Only one point? Which one?So which of those points do you actually disagree with? I can only find one point to object to, but the thing is that somewhere, a rapist has used that point as a defense.
Whoever made that list really needs a dick in their mouth.

It seems like Tiassa has very logical and intelligent views on most subjects. Perhaps the feminist thing is an idiot-savant manifestation. :shrug:
