So The Independent recently ran a piece by Catherine Murphy of Amnesty International, explaining why the organization is calling for the decriminalization of sex work.
In the comments, someone calling themselves THEMISHMISHEH offers a unique take on the issue.
And by “unique” I mean “seemingly from another planet.”
Shades of Tom Martin, huh?
I have high troll tolerance, but I’m getting bored with this one.
The obsessive wanking has now just switched from sex workers to Israeli law. I’m not even sure what he’s hoping to accomplish or what he wants us to do.
Yeah, I thought about that. I don’t go to a lot of convenience stores because there’s no convenience stores in my area, especially chain stuff. We have general stores. (I mean, it’s not EXACTLY the same thing, since the places sell, like, piping, hay, seeds, occasionally chicken and ducks, tires, etc. but it’s the closest thing to a convenience store around here.) All the candy I’ve seen is either the single-servicing stuff or the big bulk buys you get, sometimes things inbetween.
Why you think we started talking about Skittles?
My favorite is the tropical ones.
Yeah, he’s pretty clearly just going to keep on track with his: “feminism is a misandristic authoritarian monolith hell-bent on oppressing the menz!” spiel, and not even in an entertaining way. It’s really boring.
For the record, bozo, I, and I imagine every feminist on this site, find the sexual abuse of boys just as sickening and horrific as the sexual abuse of girls. And if there are laws that say that women can’t rape men, they are wrong.
However, a law that says a woman who “allows”‘ someone to engage in sexual activity with her can be charged with rape is wrong too. Rape is not a passive thing. Coercing or forcing an unwilling person to have sex with you, or actively having sex with someone who is incapable of giving consent, due to unconciousness, mental disabilities, age, etc, is rape. Passively allowing something is not rape, because the person allowing the thing to happen is not the one taking the action. This is probably why at least some of the EVUL feminists have such a problem with the wording of the law. (Though the point about how men are stronger and thus should be held to a different standard when it comes to sexual assault is fucked up and wrong too.)
But I suppose someone who thinks that women selling sex to willing men is sexual exploitation of men wouldn’t agree with me on that point. You are probably now convinced that I find the rape of men to be something ludicrous and impossible, despite me explicitly saying that the rape of anyone is wrong and awful.
Oh well, can’t really be bothered to care about what a troll thinks of me. Enjoy your righteous fury, buddy.
Yeah. At least at first I thought it was going to be some new twist on misogyny, but after only minor investigating it turns out to be the same old, “Women are succubi controlling innocent men with their vaginas,” argument, complete with the straw-feminist-attacking, goalpost-moving, ad hominem, confirmation biased, bad faith tactics that we have come to know and love from the antifeminist crowd. I wouldn’t mind that they’re so unoriginal, if they didn’t present themselves as the most brilliant new thinkers of the 21st century, with such staggeringly new (yawn) ideas.
Re: skittles, do you have the “orchards” variety where you are? I’m a big fan.
Orchards? I’ve never seen the orchards type of skittle before. What kind of flavours do they have? I’d imagine Peach, Apple, Cherry, etc? That does sound like a nice mix….
Don’t bother. No matter how many real feminists tell him what their actual beliefs are, he’s always going to assume they’re not feministing right because they don’t match up with the ideologically skewed straw feminists that TotalBiscuit or whoever told him actually exist. How could the evidence of actual experience with actual people compare to his confirmation bias? Rest assured, no matter what we say we must be either lying or No True Feminists if we claim we are anything besides pure evil.
Yes, apple, cherry, orange… sounds ordinary, but skittles can make anything magical.
@THEMISHMASHEH
You are scanning the responses you are getting, selecting lines which trigger thoughts of adequate rebuttals, and then posting those rebuttals. In doing this you are entirely missing the context of the conversation, and getting everyones’ positions wrong.
This is also what you do with the articles you post – you see one or two things that trigger an emotional response, discard the rest, and interpret them in a manner which allows you to feel the most righteous offense.
I think this is why you don’t respond to me, actually – I’m not talking about feminism so much as I’m talking about you, so there’s nothing for you to sink your hooks into.
(Also likely a fear of facing a direct conversation on the topic, but that’s understandable. Everyone’s got an ego to protect.)
If you want this to continue, do try to read for comprehension, please.
Yeah, there is. I haven’t tried any, however. I haven’t had Skittles in years. Maybe one day I’ll buy all the kinds I can and try them out.
I would try Skittles Orchards for the peach and red apple. But I’ve never even seen them anywhere. I really like the Starburst Flavoreds. They come in strawberry, cherry, fruit punch and watermelon. Pink and red are always the best candy flavors.
MISTER CAPSLOCK GUY, YOU ARE PATHETIC.
Starburst Flavoureds are amazing. I’ve found myself developing elaborate rituals about which colour combinations I can put in my mouth without accidentally mixing up a hideous flavour. Yellows and purples go well together, as do oranges and greens.
Capslock Guy has at least stopped putting Israel in scare quotes. Progress!
I guess MISHMASH doesn’t like Skittles, then?
Srsly guis, if you live out of the country and you ever want American-only candies, I would be more than happy (once I got to a better living situation) to send y’all some.
And maybe in exchange you guys can send me some candies from your countries?I think at this point he’s realized that seriously engaging with our rebuttals might force him to actually confront all his logical fallacies, and so has abandoned the thread to preserve his ignorance.
Just don’t send Haribo Sugar Free Gummi Bears to anyone. https://www.amazon.com/Haribo-Sugar-Free-Gummy-Bears/product-reviews/B008JELLCA/ref=cm_cr_dp_see_all_summary?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1&sortBy=helpful
More Skittles for us.
Re: prostitution is slavery… for the customers
The fuck? Not the trafficked workers. Not those who work for abusive pimps or madams in conditions tantamount to indentured servitude. Not those people who have no legal recourse against victimization, cos their livelihood is a felony. Nope, none of that. John Q Public couldn’t stand to have his dick dry, so the evul, Zaiyonist, femuhnawtsi pussy peddlers turned him into chattle. MENS HUMAN RIGHTS!!1!! Holy shit…
Re: ‘Israel’
Of course. I was waiting for ‘Isra-hell’ next
Re: cold showers
Is that real? Like, not just a TV meme? Like, a substantial percentage of actual dudes actually do that?
Re: skittles
Ooh! I like taking a bunch of em in hand, and shoving em all in my mouth. After a bit of chewing, it’s just a squishy mass of fruity sugar, and I love it
I love how everyone has different Skittles eating systems. I like to grab a handful and eat them in order from least to most preferred. Orange first, then purple, yellow, green and finally red.
That is how I do it WWTH, though I’m a little different. Once I get to low numbers of a colour i leave them alone until i have only one left of each colour. That way I can have a highlights reel of the flavours in the pack :3
What I do is open up the pack and sort them all, then eat them in the exact order you do. XD
@WWTH & Scildreja
I go back and forth between eating all of each color in order, from least to most favorite to eating one of each color in order but so that there’s the same number of each, so starting with the color that has the most, and if there are multiple with the highest number I eat those in order from least to most favorite. I’m not sure why I sometimes change between those two systems, though.
I order my skittles and then eat them in order from least to most prefered as well. Though my order is Yellow Orange Green Purple Red. (Though Yellow and Orange, and Purple and Red, they sometimes swap places with their neighbor in the hierarchy.)
If you throw a stone at every dog that barks at you, you will run out of stones before the dogs stop barking.
I only ever engage myself in constructive arguments that are inviting and worth engaging. If I come across an illiterate, immature person who’s never been to school, I would be foolish to engage that person in a debate about daedalian theories. They would not be able to understand nor appreciate what is being said. I would only have a debate with someone if I felt the endeavour was worth the effort and for it to be worth the effort it has to be practical and the person has to be open minded and willing to treat me with same level of respect that I give them….otherwise all you will get from me is a reply agreeable with your conduct or no reply at all.
Look a picture of a dress made out of skittles!!!

Ain’t it cute?
That’s adorable. Necro troll thinks this, of all places is full of illiterate and uneducated people. It’s as if he thinks calling us incapable of debate enough times automatically makes it true. The reality is, he knows he would be humiliated if he tried to take us on.
Stick to chatting about skittles, you literate genius you, or how’s about we start chatting about kebab? I love kebabs…you?
