Rape more Common than Smoking in the US

[Tsiyu]

139. Gooody gooody! Such fun when I've been away a bit!

Let's decontruct this lovely illustrative post, shall we? ( I suspect we have another attention-hungry troll here, but do not know this for certain, just a hunch...they're desperate over there )

Personally, this is my first ever post after lurking for a few weeks, but it's already obvious to me that you make any discussion on this issue impossible. You create threads aimed at men, purporting to offer advice about rape and how to prevent it, which naturally will invite men to comment. And yet as soon as they do, they're accused of "making it all about them", of "patronizing" you and "male self-aggrandizing", and other such nonsense, even though it already is about them.

Here, Men and Women of DU, we have another male acting like the male I chastised above, talking to ME as if I am "ALL WOMEN OF DU." You see, to a misogynist, all women are the same, so when he says "you" he means "all you girls" and he is giving me advice as if I will pass it on to all the other women with my magic ovaries. See how that works?

We are one large female amoebic mass and we all move, think, post and respond the same. When the NoMan dude posted, he did the same thing "You post 5000 posts." You see now? He wasn't saying that "I" personally made 5000 posts. He was speaking to all of you other women who made posts - THROUGH me. Misogynists do not view women as individuals, never have , never will. IF either of these guys HAD viewed me as an individual, they wouldn't have made reference to all my threads. I've only posted one thread on rape here. ONE.

So they were preaching to all of us who have made rape posts. We are all the same person to the misogynist. You can kinda trade women like baseball cards, we're all the same.

I'm sorry, but if you're going to make anti-male threads full of misinformation, false allegations, and false assumptions about how men think or behave, then you can't expect it to go unchallenged. Likewise, you don't get to redefine "rape" for your own purposes. I'm aware that the definition of "rape" seems to have been expanded to include pretty much all interaction between men and women these days, but I don't have to accept that, or the absurd and inaccurate rape statistics that a definition like that is inevitably going to produce

Oh, the irony. Sparta the Farta judges ALL women by MY post, and then says I'm assuming how men think or behave. Sure, dude. AS for "redefining rape" can someone show me anywhere here that I redefined rape? President Obama's administration did so, but he's a man, remember? S the F is, again, talking to some unknown female DUer through my magical ovaries.

You also need to realize that dismissing people who don't agree with your every word as "misogynists", "mouth breathers", "slime" and so on and so forth, is unhelpful and doesn't encourage debate, empathy or understanding, it only creates the defensiveness you keep complaining about. That has nothing to do with me being a man or you being a woman, it has to do with your intolerance and hypocrisy.

I've spent 8 years here having a blast, making friends, disagreeing with a lot of folks on DU. Yet a poster who has been here one day feels compelled to explain to me JUST how to do it right! Look Sparta the Farta, if the shoe fits, I'll throw it at you. Got it? There are many men on DU with whom I have disagreed, and there was no wailing or gnashing of teeth and no insult. Probably because they didn't talk to me like I had magical ladyparts that could transmit their messages to all the other women. Probably because they made their point without being condescending, vile, sexist or stupid.

Take the poster bettyellen, for example, who several times in this thread has said that she doesn't care about whose feelings she hurts. Fine, but why should I care about her feelings or anyone elses? Her attitude is counterproductive, and I won't stand back and let her spew her poison and lies all over these threads just because I'm a man. I have the right to confront nonsense like that wherever I see it.

You won't stand back and let her? Oh, My What are ya gonna do about it, Big Boy? Should we armour up our magical Ladyparts? Listen pal, she'll eat you for lunch. And if you ARE such a prolific lurker, you know what precipitated her
comment. Misogynists, as they have done for generations, decided that a discussion of rape hurt their feelings more than rape hurt the rape victim. So, yeah, i'm right with bettyellen. No more tolerance for whiners, obfuscators or men who think they have it worse than rape victims because they are asked to care about ending rape. I don't care about those ignoramus' feelings either. They are self-absorbed, sexist and probably some of them are dangerous. I'll give you a secret from our magical lady SOP manual: The less you care about a sexist narcissists' feelings, the more the Goddess grows in the firmament

And finally, for now, you also have to realize that this situation is mostly of your own making. Men used to defend the honor of women and do a lot more to protect them from rape. It was called "The Patriarchy", and you chose to try get rid of it, so you are responsible for the consequences of that. Now, if you want my help to combat "rape culture", you need to support the restoration of the patriachy, otherwise no deal. You can't make demands of me without offering anything in return, and if you want to be treated like a lady, you have to act like one

Here we go folks. I, personally, have increased the rate of rape in America. It's all my fault. Who the fuck knew? Since I, all on my own, got rid of the Patriarchy ( DAYUM, ain't I all that and a box of tampons! ) men just can't summon any more concern for the wymmins. They are now free to rape us and pillage our homes in violent hordes, free of their chains of Patriarchy! If only I had submitted! If only I had left the Patriarchy in its rightful place oppressing and abusing and restricting and "protecting" wymmins, they wouldn't all have to rape us now. IT'S ALL MY FAULT AND I'm SO SORRY!

Oh, Sparta the Farta, I only wish I could have singlehandedly vanquished the Patriarchy. Instead, I have a gun and six big kids and a bunch of friends who would lay down their lives for me. I don't need your protection. But you see it as open season on women, so goddess help any women near you. if I were your daughter, I'd run like hell as far, far away from you as I could. You are giving yourself permission to rape because you can't control women anymore, and that makes you a sick, sick, sick fuck and I hope you go to prison.

Hope I said that ladylike enough for you.

And as for helping you restore the Patriarchy that I, presonally destroyed: ALL YOUR PATRIARCHY ARE BELONG TO ME!
