Perhaps I've simply been out in the sticks and almost entirely incommunicado (and I intend this quite literally) for far too long, but I honestly cannot even begin to understand the motivation here. I suggested "trolling," but I don't really think that a satisfactory answer: Bowser simply doesn't strike me as the type who would invest so much (or so little, depending upon your perspective) into "trolling," as I understand it. (Trolling is willful and intentional, right?)But you (Bowser) argue against your own straw man; this fallacy is all you bring: You asked about rape culture; some answered, but you ignore those answers in order to pursue a demon of your own making.
Do not blame rape culture on those who would identify and address it.
It is disrespectful, unfair, and above all, dangerous.
As billvon noted:
Do you feel that discussing racism "drives a wedge" between different races? Do you feel that discussing police abuse cases "drives a wedge" between police and civilians? I don't think it does.
and yet there are white people and cops who do, in fact, feel this. Of these, I think most are simply racists and murderous thugs, respectively; some are just really stupid and incapable; and the remaining few I can't begin to comprehend.
Same here.
When you rule out trolling and stupidity, what's left? Again, many are misogynists and rape advocates, but surely there exists an alternative explanation for this sort of behavior in other cases.
