Reply #62: well that was pointless, wasn't it?

What I said, broken down so that maybe you'll understand it this time:

It is as horribly distasteful to

(a) watch all these "progressive" folks here exploit
the tragedy of the victims of the Rwandan or any other
genocide, in an attempt to further their own selfish agenda,

as it is to

(b) watch them exploit the violence of which women are victims.

What you "replied":

Women weren't the only victims
men and children were also victims. What a selfish thought.

What a moronic reponse, is all I can say.

Every kind of person under the sun was a victim of the Rwandan genocide, and the gun-thumpers here exploit their victimization for their own selfish ends.

Women, as women, are victims of violence in all societies, and the gun-thumpers here exploit their victimization for their own selfish ends.

Anyone who truly cares about the victims of any form of suffering can be expected to learn about the causes of their suffering and to make an effort to understand why it occurs, and put some thought into what could be done to prevent it, and maybe even to attempt to do something to prevent it.

Anyone who doesn't actually give a shit, but cares a great deal about him/herself, and puts considerable effort into furthering his/her own interests regardless of the effect on others, can be expected to exploit the suffering of the people s/he does not give a shit about where there is a chance that doing so will advance his/her own agenda.

I know what I see every time a gun-thumper here brings up Rwanda, or rape.

Anyhow, I'm sure that *you* aren't in the latter group, and that you have thoughtfully read the resources I provided for you and are now just a little bit better informed about the causes of genocide and what "bystanders" can do to prevent it.
