Of course! I don’t know that the protestors themselves are likely to have a genuine appreciation of this issue. Some might, of course, but I expect some are probably opportunists. Maybe not.

I cannot star your comments enough.

Hallelujah, especially point number two. Welcome, and please stay a while.

Haha, so it would seem! Thanks

I’ve known a few predators in my lifetime and LO fucking L at your assertion that they’re all just nice, ordinary people who accidentally got fooled by “society” into becoming rapists.

Happy to. A culture that raises boys to feel entitled to women’s bodies and affections. A culture that teaches boys that women are naturally demure and resistant and that consent needs to be ‘obtained’ as opposed to ‘freely given’. A culture that teaches boys that obtaining sex validates their masculinity. A culture…

You’re welcome.

I laughed with you at the first comment, and scratched my head at the latter. Yeah, Republicans suck and are shitty on gun reform. What of it?

No, I’m being sincere. And I absolutely agree his sentence was entirely inadequate. And really, thank you for your comment. :)

You’re assuming I’m overlooking or excusing his behavior. It’s not a thing that’s actually happened. I have said I think he should still be in prison.

Again, the issue here seems to be your inability to actually comprehend what I’m saying, because as has been perfectly obvious to many people (see my stars and see the numerous positive conversations that have followed) that is not what I’m saying. I honestly don’t know how anyone could think it was. But here we are.

Haha, no, not on the spectrum. I didn’t expect this comment to blow up because I didn’t know anyone other than the person I replied to would see it. Had I been more sensible I wouldn’t have just asked a rhetorical question. I would have pointed out that I believed much of the criticism of the steak comment missed what…

Um... are you aware of the irony of what you just said?

Nobody said you had to care. My point was about his father’s motivations for telling the steak anecdote, and not whether or not you or anyone else should be moved by it.

I agree, when those criticisms are based upon actual information and are in proportion. Saying Brock is horrible because of the crime he committed is perfectly sensible. However, I consider the extent to which this one crime out of many has been made a cause célèbre (inclusive of many applauding lunatics showing up on…

You told me to “fuck myself with a rusty fork”. If you don’t think that’s at all disturbing, good for you, I suppose. You’ll note I’m actually not the one who brought this up as a criticism of you, so it’s not just me who thinks your behavior in this thread is problematic.

I will spell this out for you very simply one more time:
