It depends, what's the risk? Like your explanation with cars, risk is a very personal assessment that isn't always rational. Just like consumers, we calculate risk in all kinds of fucked up ways, depending on context. (Obviously you know that). So it really depends on finding an acceptable risk...

I've never been slighted, ever. All my relationships have been extremely healthy, and I've been very fortunate. And most of the women I've dated I still respect and even talk to. My experience has to do with observing an abusive aunt, who put my cousin in the hospital. Want to try again though...

What, that men and women can be crazy? Yes, it does explain a lot about society. I proposed when I was young because my wife is amazing and I realized not all women are like that very early on, that like all people there are bad ones and good ones, and some that are downright frightening. For...

Now, NONE of this is saying women have not had it worse. I readily admit women have had it worse. But the recent increase in risk doesn'tadda significant amount (That's the only reason I brought it up. Many feminists try to frame history as men not having risk, and now facing any adversity is...

That's a very few words for someone that wants to take a very complex situation and turn it into "ugh, you guys bad, me good!" Also, bullshit, you CLEARLY outlined your problem. Problem: A significant number of women still feel, despite the fact that rape incidents are down, that the system...

Hmm, what other group changes defintions to suit gender based ideological positions! MRAs and Feminists should just fuck already and get it over with.

Let me break it down for you Mist, so you can drop the act that everyone is misunderstanding you and we are all sociopaths or sociopath apologists. You will propose some thought experiment like "a sex contract". People talk about all the problems that entails; and, even ignoring those for a...

haha, whenever my wife asks me why I did X or Y while I'm watching this show I always say. "I did it because (Insert Reason).....I was justified", with that Kentucky accent. She is usually not amused.

I don't agree with Phoenix. But sorry, Mist. People aren't disgusting and callous because they believe that innocent until proven guilty is actually a useful thing. Your hyperbole is so strong on this one it's missing it's mark honestly, instead of making people reflect it's just making you look...

1.) The false rapes you see make it to TV are rare because concrete fraud is SO hard to prove. Anything less than the woman admitting she defrauded the police is essentially counted as the police being sexist. There is actually a news clip on Youtube which supposedly illustrates how a female...

Did you KNOW the males as well as the female ones? You, a self identified anti-sociallesbian? Do you really think your relationships were as strong with the men that they told you as many things in confidence?

Yeah, and there is a difference in which ones we "protect". Mist is using the false equivalence that "protecting" scumbag Steve, is the same as "protecting" scared Stacy. But even a moment of thought reveals this is a fallacy. "Protecting" Steve is a consequence of not getting involved, it's a...

It is irrational, by the way. None of what you said here makes it "rational". Your evidence is that parents are idiots:News at 11. My hillbilly inlaws from Kentucky? Their congregations number 1 fear is gay marriage is a sign the devil has infected America. Can I use this as proof that the...

No, rapes outnumberprovenfalse rape accusations. The standard for a "false rape accusation" isINCREDIBLYhigh. The reality vast majority of "rapes" that fall in between trial and fradulence COULD be false rape accusations, but there is not enough evidence EITHER way. YOU assume the woman can't be...

Rape is a very serious crime, and it's treated seriously. In fact it's the most serious crime except murder. Entire police task forces are dedicated to JUST rape. We have millions of dollars in programs teaching people who bad sexual aggressiveness is. How do we get more serious without giving...

How many more pages of aplogism for deluded narcissists are we going to see before you admit you are a deluded cunt with anger issues looking to make others as scared and miserable as you are, or are so afraid of the taking advantage of life that you're willing to try and make other people feel...

Oh, so now it's ANY rapes? I thought it was. A significant number of women stillfeel, despite the fact that rape incidents are down, that the system itself is stacked against themif the do get raped.A significant number of parentsthinktheir children are being sent into unsafe environments on...

We could realize that just 30 years ago people were deluded enough to believe a satanic cult was raping their children in daycare centers mainly based on the ramblings of one mentally ill woman. We could remember that we burned women because some people were scared of things they had NEVER even...

And, that is the meat of the issue Mist. The whole concept of there being an imminent threat of physical coercion is cast in serious doubt when we have evidence showing someone consistently inviting the suspect over for more sex. And acting emotionally normal, and loving after an allegedly...

No, you're over simplifying to appeal to emotion. What people are saying is that women have the potential for abuse too (Either due to mental illness or due to emotional trauma from separation). In your scenario, you want to give women more power. This would potentially give abusers power, or...

Your reply to me earlier indicated otherwise. You said that the behavior I described was anti-social, and that by "defending" it we were being apologists for sociopaths. No, we are merely not willing to give legal institutional power to someone unless the crime is severe. Mainly because of...

51/49 is not the standard of reasonable defense. I'm not going to just take a fallacious position as fact. It's set up so to doubt the accusation would beunreasonable. 51/49 ispreponderance, it's specifically NOT set up like that. As for the rest? Like what rights women had or have, is...

Scumbag Judys don't exist, duh. I think this line is indicative of the issue in Mist's supposition, and it's why she won't buckle down and define. If you're giving abusers legal wiggle room to abuse people, you're coddling sociopaths, and if you try to eliminate that wiggle room, you're...

Define Scumbag Steve please. What did he do that should be punished. The main issue is that you refuse to give a substantive argument. You are not taking a position, you are cluster bombing a bunch of potential positions and then pouncing on people for not being specific. But on another note...

Because those populations are equal, and thus the coddling would give rise to equal amounts of collateral damage.

And it should be noted--these were menconvicted. The vast majority of rape charges do not even have the evidence to go this far. And yet, feminists often believe that this is due to the system being anti-women, rather than the possibility that people can be emotionally unstable after a break up...

Exactly, and it's even beyond that. Men and women do not need to be sociopaths to go crazy during a break up. They can be healthy individuals who maybe have some emotional immaturity or trauma, and a separation causes a break down. This happens all the time. How many times has someone run to...

Oh my god, solution to what? You haven't even defined what you think should be punished. You've wafted between extremes; one being behavior that is clearly rape but hard to prove, and the other being someone who is simply an asshole but not raping. This? (In response to an example where the...

Again, we need to be clear on what you're defining as anti-social behavior worthy of punishment. Is it the guy who threatens women INTO sex (IE rape)? Or the guy invited over for sex, who then gets rough and the women doesn't like that but does like him (And so he takes advantage. IE not rape...

Sociopaths aren't using the legal system. They wield no social power except what another individual allows them to wield. The answer to this isn't to give that other individual the power of the legal system--it's to teach them how to stop allowing the sociopath to take advantage. (Caveat though...

Well, the feminist answer would be that boys are taught to be assertive about sex their whole life. I'm not sure I'd argue with that, either. The difference between modern feminists and myself (And perhaps sex positive feminists) is that I believe women shouldalsobe taught like that, rather then...

Redpill or sex negative feminism. The rise of those two ideologies makes me wonder if we aren't really just predisposed to treat sex like its' the edge of some kind of abyss that has to be approached with an ideological predisposition to navigate you over.

It might be worded harshly, but that's what I meant. I'm all for programs to teach women to guard themselves. To prepare women for the fact that there might be predators out there. Being an adult is not easy; it never is. But society should have the expectation that people who are legally...

At what point do you realize that women are also capable of sociopathic acts, or acts of vengeance (And I'd say this is a much broader swath of people, no?)? That a woman is perfectly capable of being mad at a man and accusing him of heinous shit just to get back at him. I've watched this...

If there were multiple instances where he went full on Ike Turner on multiple women, and they corroborate independently, then yes; I'd be swayed. But that's not what happened here. One other girl said he grabbed her ass at a party. His other former girlfriend was found by his current Ex and...

Yes. Denaut explained why. Violence, or the threat of violence, takes away consent. However, nothing else does. And I think this is where some young women get preyed upon and then get angry afterwards. They will fall hard for a guy, and they may not enjoy a sexual activity, but the guy will say...

I love the hillarious comparison of people stuck in long term relationships, who often can't leave. With a college romance that is a few weeks old. I've known at least a few women who were abused; but none of them would have said "I love you, yussss, can't wait to see you" to a guy, after 2...

Original picture. It's Shooped as part of a contest.

Yeah, after last season I thought it was a good thing the show was headed out. Last season was kind of weak, still good TV but weak. This season, so far, has been amazing (And everything about it seems stepped up a notch. Tons of great tacking shots, excellent dialogue, more interesting...
