“Hit her back, she gets to vote.” More wisdom from Reddit.

“(To be fair, though, these conditions aren’t supposed to be a positive thing, and the girls get saved by another girl and become part of her harem).”

Wait, that makes it *better*? XD

While I don’t condone hitting anyone, male or female, I can understand being pissed off if a drunken woman comes up to you and tears the buttons off your shirt. I’m assuming she must have been trying to rip his shirt open or off, if all the buttons came off. I can’t imagine a sober person just standing there and allowing anyone to rip off one button at a time.

For many people, the cost of replacing a torn shirt is a hardship. I probably would have asked her to pay something to help replace the shirt.

I don’t have a lot of patience for people who do things like this and excuse their jerky behavior because they’re drunk. But I don’t think he had a ‘right’ to slap her.

because a male cyborg is the only man who would have one of you.

How many effing times do we have to go through this? I am HAPPILY MARRIED. To a man. For ten years. He got cut open that first year, so unless he’s been getting cybered on the sly, he’s fully human. You are a dumbfuck.

Meller’s just pissed because we feminists can form happy, loving relationships of all stripes, and he’s so far up his own ass he can’t.

If you weren’t such a raging assbag, Meller, I’m sure you could find the sub fluffy bunny woman of your dreams. The problem, however, is YOU.

If you’ve ever seen a dog with porcupine quills stuck in its face, you wouldn’t want a porcupine as a pet, although the one in the video is cute. Same thing for skunks. Getting that skunk smell off a dog is nearly impossible.

So I say no to porcupines and skunks as pets. Dogs and cats, yeah!

DKM:

See, I care for the well being of women after all. I detest stories where men are playing second fiddle to girls. It should be a man who rescues them, and then gets his reward! I’m not going to look at a show that makes men out to be villains, least of all a Japanese one.

While one could probably think that the premise is about demonizing men as a whole (though there are a few who only act abusive because of peer pressure, and who show that they care about the girls), it’s more along the lines of the Stanford Prison Experiment.
The female students, more or less taking role of the “prisoners” here, don’t have any rights or protection against their “owner”, or if they don’t have one, they have no rights or protection at all, which actively dehumanizes them.
Like the guards in the Experiment, many boys abuse their power and authority, and the ones who don’t want to are under immense peer pressure.

But as always, there are people (like you, I guess) who think this would be a good thing.
I think they are called sociopaths or something.

Seriously, this?

Now if the girl was saved by a MAN and became a part of her rescuer’s harem, there to be well cared for and treated with love and gentleness, THAT would be something that I could live with. Shitsurakuen would be a good story then.

Wanting women to be stripped of their rights IN THE FIRST PLACE is not exactly a sign of love and gentleness, dude. You can’t stab someone in the face, gently nurse them back to health, and then expect them to be grateful.

And, I dunno, I find it easier to believe that they would rather follow a girl than someone who belongs to the people who have systematically dehumanized and abused them.

Wait, that makes it *better*? XD

Well, better in the sense that they actually have human rights in their rescuer’s harem, and they joined of their own free will (probably because of those rights,and a bit of Stockholm Syndrome).
So, I guess a more appropriate word would be “less horrible”, though they do seem rather happy :p

Oh, DKM, keep up the gaybashing. When the Pink Helicopters come around, you’ll pay~

I’m really only considering looking into this series because pokemon was mentioned.

As a brief aside, Mr. Meller, you do realize that if you live long enough to see cyborgs become commonplace, that just means you’ll have to contend with cyborg feminists, don’t you?

This must be where the MRA fear of women with cats comes from 🙂

“Pussy with Claws” is the closest we can come to Vagina Dentata, I s’pose. ;p

To actually address the topic (for the first time so far on this thread): if someone is ripping off your buttons couldn’t you just gently smack away their hands? I can’t imagine why someone’s first impulse would be to full on slap them instead of just remove them from the buttons in question. Like… did she literally start picking at this guy’s “rage buttons” or something? She’s drunk; just remove her hands, or even try using your words or removing yourself.

It’s like that guy who slapped his young daughter’s face when she put her mouth on his hands — this guy is blatantly reveling in getting to hit someone (particularly a girl/woman someone), rather than just trying to resolve the situation.

I knew if I waited long enough the real feminist consensus would come out. Rutee thinks that it’s less wrong to hit a man than a woman. With excuses, justifications, and weasel words stripped away, that is her position, and ironically the position of a lot of feminists.

For theft there must be a stolen item and some evidence that you are even a suspect. That evidence must be gathered, processed and so forth. For murder you need a body, court order and whatever evidence you can gather. For other crimes you need due process. For DV, all you need is a phone call. There is no due process for DV.

I know it is REALLY hard for you to get this but here is what happens when you have a criminal act take place-this REALLY happened:

Wife leaves husband.
Wife later comes back to the residence and has a fight with spouse.
Wife calls the cops.
The cops come.
The original issue is resolved with no arrests.
The wife then claims the husband has drugs.
The Officer asks permission to enter residence to search.
The wife grants permission and the husband denies permission.
Officer searches residence, gets some evidence of drug use.
Wife later revokes permission but the officer is able to get a warrant on the first evidence.
Officer arrests husband.
Husband is convicted and sentenced.
Husband appeals his case and the United States Supreme Court reverses conviction.
Case

________________
Also, you can and do get murder convictions without the body. It is really hard to do but it is possible. In fact, this is what happened here.

Oh and in the case of DV, you still have to have a gathering of evidence, a probable cause for arrest, a charge filed and a trial/plea.

@toysoldier, there is an element of sexual assualt to ripping open a woman’s shirt that there isn’t for a man’s due to the way we as a culture sexualize women’s breasts. However, if he has left, it would not be warranted for her to chase him down to hit him. Still, you could imagine the situation with two men (so without the sexual assualt edge angle), it would not be okay to chase down a man to slap him for ripping your shirt either.

I also recall, a long time ago, someone recalled a situation where a man touched her breast at a concert, and then she chased after him and kicked him in the balls. Everyone applauded her, naturally. Is this not the same thing, except less severe in the retaliation?
