Shit. This dude is getting acclaim, but is clearly a rookie. Not very bright, Nadal.

Haha. I'm pretty sure I get what's on over at OKC. I've actually seen plenty of messages that friends have shared. So no experiment needed. I have a feeling that some of these aggressive keyboard warriors are just silly, chronically masturbating man-children who generally struggle talking to women and everyone else

If I found out that my son was involved in this type of behavior, I wouldn't hesitate for a second to send him over to the police. And I would encourage the victim to press charges. I wouldn't have to think twice. Some parents are real pieces of shit. "My baby this, my baby that." Sorry, your baby was just involved in

Absolutely. But at least you have that option to be disgusted and say no. As you probably should. And that type of man doesn't present themselves as that guy. There's no "I'll fuck anyone, pleasure to meet you" introduction. They most certainly don't hang out in basements. Just walk outside of a bar/club at bar time

I'm a guy. I've seen it happen all the time. I'd say in my 20s, I saw it almost every night I went out. And there would be conversation about it afterwards. You're talking about a subset of guy. Sure they exist. But you can't tell me the converse of that guy doesn't exist because I see them in every bar to this day.

Sure. But I don't know that it's as easy as saving one woman. Suppose the math is that it pushes a list of men to become more violent. That's also a possibility. I'm not extending any real sympathy to these types of guys, don't get me wrong. I'm talking about the balance between pointing out things and being helpful

We're entering a region of horrible conversation, but fuck it, here's the truth: Men act that way in front of friends. Men act as if they won't do things that they would actually do if no one was watching. Sure, not all men will drop their royal standards, but please believe me, so many of them will and do. So it

You make a good point. Several, actually. I suppose there is a longer term impact to consider. But I'm just wondering whether the same point can be made without public, individual shaming. Maybe not. Do we need to poke a bees nest? And should we be considering that the prodding might have a cost in pushing certain

Not too long ago, overt discrimination was quite common. Investing in individual shaming of randoms wasn't really a game-changing strategy. Although it may feel good, and it's probably deserving, I'm not so sure it's a very productive strategy here, either.

While all that is true, I'm not sure I understand your point. Are you suggesting that through shame these men, who exist in geekdom, will have a come-to-Jesus moment and realize that love is the answer?

I agree with all that. I've been thinking about that a lot over the past couple of years, to the point that I've gotten furious at movies/TVs portrayal of relationships. I think it has a tremendous impact on how things play out as adults. I've dated people and realized that there were certain things they wanted that

I think you got it. But I think his point is that for men, access to a vagina IS terribly valuable. It's about no one letting you stick it in. While one group is on the one side talking about I wouldn't sleep with that person (as they should be if they don't want to), the other group of guys are actively wanting to

Maybe. Maybe it's making angry people angrier. I don't know how the numbers balance out. Maybe you're absolutely right. But there will always be guys fiddling around trying to come up with the wrong ways to get laid. The interwebs ain't solving that problem. I fear that we're just teaching the shitty guys how to

Really? Do you think that it's becoming increasingly common, or are we just getting to see it more because of OKC and the public nature of the internet? I think it's quite possible that a significant portion of these people lack shame. They don't care about (nor probably can pronounce) male entitlement mentality. But

Preach. If we're taking relationships off the table, you've absolutely nailed it. The number of women who can't have sex without paying is negligible. Maybe those aren't ideal conditions, but there are plenty of guys who will have sex with you. The same just isn't true for men in the same bracket. They'll never be

You do realize there is a case to be made that it does not tear down the rape culture. So they change their photos, username and come across nicer next time. You think the shaming changed them? Or do you think that they've now just cleaned up their profile so that the next lady comes along and says, "What a nice,

Now that point about women's assertiveness makes a lot of sense. And your previous comment also rang true: social conditioning is definitely a bitch to undo.

I don't disagree with most of what you say. But in practice, do we really think the missing piece is the sign that says: YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG. And then they'll turn on Lil' Wayne and listen to the rich guy be non-sensical about deez bitches. I'm just suggesting that it is possible that many of these degenerates have

Are those the only two options? I'm not so sure what fixes it or if there is a clean fix. Some don't know any better. Some hear and have been told they're assholes, and that probably fuels more hatred. But some of these dudes (I'd guess lots) are just assholes. And I'd have to believe that there are more productive
