No, we’re not losing allies. We’re losing men who think their emotions are more important than women’s. That’s not an ally. That’s someone who wants a cookie for behaving the way they should behave in general.

You’re not listening at all. You’ve already made up your mind. I’ve spent a lifetime listening to men’s voices. All the presidents, most CEOs, most people with power in general are men. If they really wanted things to change for men, all they’d have to do is enact some laws to protect them. If they’re the one’s with…

It’s not oppression. Calling it oppression belittles the very real oppression that many groups face. I’ll grant that men can be hurt under the system we all live under, but it’s not women that are hurting them. The system that holds men as more valuable than women is the same system that hurts them. That’s not the…

In what way is it harmful? What are the negative effects?

You made a claim. It’s not silly for me to ask you to back it up with sources.

No one here even brought up the idea of “another thousand years of oppression in the opposite direction”except you. All of these little ideas are coming from you.

Where is making fun of male emotions part of this joke? I don’t understand your logical jump here.

A black person saying white people are stupid will never be the same as a white person saying black people are stupid. It’s the same thing with this. You cannot erase the social context here. Trying to do that is illogical. You can sit here and insist that they are the same all you want, but I’m not seeing any proof…

As a Domme, I’ve seen the pattern you’re talking about, but I wouldn’t use the term “exclusive.” I’m not a pro, but I’ve topped guys from all ends of the socioeconomic spectrum.

I think the fact that women joking about misandry on the internet is seen as such a egregious act is proof of how women’s emotions and self expression is policed at very level. Like we are expected to take every form of abuse, from microaggressions to actual murder attempts, with stoicism and if we react or fight back…

So joking about oppressors is now the same as thousands of years of oppression? I’m not following your logic. Maybe because there is none to be found.

You’re comparing apples to oranges. The cultural context for gender from about the time we as humans started subsistence farming has had men at a distinct advantage over women. That’s thousands of years of oppression. Because of that context, which can never be erased, a woman joking about how men should shut up will…

This isn’t just his family. It’s the whole town. Of course you can still love someone or admit that they’ve also done good things, but that doesn’t mean you treat a victim like this. That doesn’t mean he should get a pass and she gets treated like an outcast.

It doesn’t matter if this guy personally saved thousands of kittens from a burning building, he still committed a crime and deserves to be punished. I don’t see what’s so wrong with that. Having a nuanced opinion works both ways. He may not be all bad, but he certainly isn’t all good either. If something has no…

The thing is that the way things “should be” and the way things are aren’t the same. Of course everyone should have the pleasure of their partner(s) in mind. But that’s just not reality as it is right now. Of course it should be equal, but it’s not. You can’t fix that without subverting these shitty opinions. You do…

Look. I get what you’re going for here, but I’ll have to disagree for two reasons. The first is personal and the second is more theory-based.

Then it should have been dropped to a rape charge. Nonconsensual is still rape and it’s possible for a judge to change the charges.

Most people here are angry that the forcible rape charge wasn’t applied, thus resulting in the light sentencing. As others have pointed out, the judge acknowledges that a forcible rape likely took place. A judge can overturn a jury’s decision if they need to, and that clearly didn’t happen here. So since the judge…

Except that this is the second article on this site on this subject. The first one details all of this missing information. Maybe she assumed most people would have read the first article and maybe that wasn’t the best assumption, but you can’t act like these things haven’t already been discussed by this website.

Dunno about witches, but she is probably related to me and the Sforza clan, best known for ruling Milan during the Renaissance, commissioning Da Vinci, and, well Caterina Sforza’s antics.
