“I fear for the women in your life.” I fear for everyone in yours.

“The money handed to a sex worker is the equivalent of consent, so no money=no consent.” No, consent is consent and money is money. They consented to sex on the expectation of payment, in common with other professionals and trades people. Not being paid doesn’t take away the consent. It doesn’t make it rape. It makes…

“To be clearer, if someone agrees to pay for sexual services, engages, then runs off, he has stolen from a sex worker and has committed aggravated assault/rape.” No, theft is neither rape nor assault. The prostitute engaged in consensual sex, regardless of the fact that they were cheated. If you run out of a…

“And you’re saying that trans people need to cater to cis people’s bigotry, just to exist in the world. I find that unacceptable, and I’m not sorry about that.”

“It’s not deception. Trans women are women.” No, they are not. They are men who have taken hormones and have possibly had surgery. I know how much some people don’t want to acknowledge basic science, but the rest of us live in the real world.

“And he did in fact receive those services.” You have proof? Were you there, watching?

I don’t love Beyonce. I dislike her music and find her new ’wokeness’ annoying.

Don’t have relationships with men. You obviously despise them and it would be better to keep away.

“The biggest issue I will highlight is that men overwhelming look for someone that makes them feel good, manly and taken care of and women overwhelming look for an equal partner.”

“I can’t stand porn altogether, i would never date anyone who watches porn.” Then you have limited yourself to an ever decreasing number of women and a lot of liars or, as you have suggested, condemned yourself to being single.

Casey Affleck has not been prosecuted in a court of law and is there fore innocent in the eyes of the law. From what I have read of the accusations they seem shaky at best.

If there was a rape culture we wouldn’t be discussing Polanski in a negative light. He wouldn’t have been in exile from the law for decades. With Allen aren’t the accusations just that, accusations?

“I’ve heard more than one acquaintance say something to the effect that it’s not great but XYZ is also terrible so why should they have to give up their fave? Which I understand (but don’t agree with), because the problem seems so overwhelming that sometimes it does feel like fighting it is pointless. And that…

There is a problem with a lot of the celebrities you mention. As far as I am aware most of them are innocent in the eyes of the law, in that they have not be proven guilty of anything. It is hardly unreasonable that their supporters (of either sex) continue to support them until they are proved guilty. If not we just…

Evil has many skin shades, including black and white. I think Hitler is a better example of evil than a relatively small number of police shootings, many of which are not as simple as suggested in some quarters and which are not limited to black people. (Or humans for that matter. Plenty of dogs have been shot by…

Why is slavery too painful for someone who isn’t slave, has never been a slave, has no living relatives who were ever slaves and has never met a slave?

“Oh, these white tears are gonna be delicious.” Yes, because everyone white is the same and an enemy of everyone black. Why indulge in racism yourself?

“I’ll leave that to smarter people.” No-one is smart enough to make the unworkable workable.

You mistake what BlueHealer is saying. You can completely rewrite all history as a fantasy if you wish, but that has no historical accuracy whatsoever. If you are asking a limited ‘what if?’ question and wishing to place a black state and reparations in a believable historical context then Blue is right, you need to…

“I know it isn’t comparable and I’m not saying it is.” No, it isn’t comparable, your situation is much worse. Paying reparations to Beyonce or Will Smith makes little sense.
