Yep, that’s right, the “clopping” sound of high heels are a form of “street harassment.” I found the screenshot above on a promising new blog you can find at MensRightsActivism.com. Yep, that’s right. Evidently it never occurred to anyone in the Men’s Rights movement to lock down that domain name.
Oh, this little Reddit screenshot is good too:
How exactly does saying “consent is sexy” mean that male consent is taken for granted? How is it that 59 people thought that comment deserved an upvote?
I can’t answer either question, but there’s lots more hilarious and appalling stuff where that came from, mostly from the Men’s Rights subreddit. It’s going in the “antidotes to boobery” blog roll.
“I did read where the VAWA was anti male and make it possible for a woman that changed her mind for whatever reason after consensual sex to calling it rape.”
After sex or during sex? Because if she asks you to withdraw, and you don’t, that’s rape in a bunch of states (and legalese aside, it isn’t ethical and should be considered rape regardless of the legalese of your jurisdiction).
ok so…, this is hearsay once removed on a subject you admit to knowing fuck all about, from a dude who probably knew just as little, and youre presenting something obviously stupid as fact because… you’re a dumbass? is there any other explanation that works?
OK Argenti ” how has American culture place girls above boys, when girls weren’t allowed to play sports when you were in high school? And considering Steele/Varpole’s rant about how he can’t write because of misandry,”
I don’t make any excuses for my not being a good writer or anything else. I take full responsibility for any and all shortcomings. I never knew any girls that wanted to play sports when I was in high school. No, I never conducted a poll either. I am happy that girls can take part in sports today. Back in those days girls and women were respected more than they are today in my opinion.
Kerry stated fact; the USA carried out war crimes in Vietnam. That isn’t up for debate, and if hearing that makes you feel ‘villified’, I have no fucking sympathy for your imperialist ass. Far worse shit was done to the vietnamese than having to hear that their countrymen committed atrocities. But more to the point, he said all of jack shit about peons in general; he wanted to end the war as much to save Meriken footsoldiers as he did to keep us from trampling on the vietnamese, and he says as much outright. He puts far more responsibility on officers, politicians and the like in that speech, and all you hear is “OMG FUCK VETERANS”?
Jesus Fuck, the point of the speech is “LISTEN TO US VETERANS, THE WAR IS USELESS AND BAD, PLEASE END IT”. This is ‘villification of veterans’. One wonders what is supposed to be the horrors that white men face in our society too. Morons.
Argenti ” After sex or during sex? Because if she asks you to withdraw, and you don’t, that’s rape in a bunch of states (and legalese aside, it isn’t ethical and should be considered rape regardless of the legalese of your jurisdiction).”
Yes completely after consensual sex, like the girl in the Hofstra case did for example.

FFS, here’s the super-bad-to-soldiers speech in case anyone else is curious.

So, gramps, you know that girls didn’t want to play sports when you were in high school because..? You didn’t conduct a survey or anything, but you just know, because…seriously, do you see how you’re creating a tautology here? There were no girls you knew who played sports, therefore you know that no girls wanted to play sports.
This same underlying flaw in logic seems to be at the core of all your arguments.
Yeah, that totally smacks of dudes being imprisoned for ‘regrets’.
You realize that she lied because if she’d only had regrets, it wouldn’t be rape, right?
Cassandra how would you expect a teenage boy to know if girls wanted to play sports? How would anyone that age know? Better to question those in charge of the school district. When we are young we are all told what to do and how to act.
But gramps, you stated that no girls wanted to play sports. Which implies that this is a thing that you knew for sure. How did you know?
Rutee these boys were charged with rape. She recanted after a tape of the consensual sex was shown to her.
grampmk — you do get that the Hofstra case was determined not to be rape, right?
And btw it’s so famous because shit like that almost never happens.
Re: sports — why would women have fought for Title IX if they didn’t want to play sports? Perhaps none of the women you knew did, but that doesn’t mean women in general didn’t.
Re: women beings respected more then than now — even if true, so what? You were making an argument comparing girls/women to boys/men, not comparing women in the 60s to women now. (And you mean respected more but only if they were virgins until marriage right? That problem being one of the things feminism is against)
Are you fucking dishonest, or just inept?
The charges were dismissed. Because VAWA doesn’t do that. Because that is a fantasy of asshole misogynists.
Well Argenti in the 60’s there was no internet, there were no feminists. It was a different time. None of us has any control over the circumstances of our birth. I’m not disagreeing with TitleIX. It wasn’t around then.
(And you mean respected more but only if they were virgins until marriage right? That problem being one of the things feminism is against)
And yes that was before the sexual revolution.
And for the record I respect everyone, no exceptions, until they give me a reason not to.
Cassandra my intent was I knew of no girls that wanted to play. Let me ask you this , how did you know about life when you were a teenager?
You know, when I was a teenage girl there were teenage boys who knew what I liked and wanted to do (like, say, swim), because they fell into categories like “friend”, “boyfriend”, “cousin”, etc. Even back in the 60s those categories existed, so gramps, if you didn’t know what the girls around you were into, it was probably because you didn’t bother listening to them, or didn’t take what they said seriously. Which it seems may be a lifelong issue for you.
“…in the 60′s…there were no feminists.”
*dies laughing* Seriously now, woodstock didn’t have a single feminist there because the internet didn’t exist yet?
I should probably inform my second wave aunt that she doesn’t exist because there was no internet then, that’d amuse her. You mind if I post this sentence to facebook — “ell Argenti in the 60′s there was no internet, there were no feminists.” ?

STOP BEING WRONG.
In other words, gramps, why would (then or now) a girl or woman share her hopes or dreams with you? You’re not exactly coming across as terribly empathic towards women.
Rutee — at least that wrong was funny wrong, I’m in hysterics over here.
Cassandra there were simply less choices for all teenagers to do back in those days. I married my high school sweetheart at 18
LOL, there were no feminists in the 60s? BRB, gotta go email my granny. She needs a good laugh.
Gramps, less choices existing is not the same thing as people not wanting more choices.
I am laughing so hard I am nearly crying. This thread, I just can’t even…
Cassandra

My daughter and 3 granddaughters would disagree
