I criticized the generalization you made as being lazy and ignorant. I forgot to add irrelevant. That's not a personal attack and I mentioned it for your own benefit.

At least I didn't call you dumb, and you might want to look up the definition of "liar".

"I just think that sexual assault takes so many forms and the relationships between the perpetrators and victims are so various that I'm not convinced it is never a sexual perversion on the part of the rapist." (from my initial comment).

I have no idea what the fuck you are trying to say. I think you are defending my argument, but you could have done without the generalizations about what men and women want (are you suggesting that women aren't turned on by the idea of exercising their sexual power?) and I really didn't need to know how much you love

I'm not sure why feminists are so invested in the "rape is about power and nothing else" theory. It's not like it would be less wrong to rape someone if the motivation was sexual pleasure. I don't know how to explain the existence of BDSM without intimately linking power, pleasure and desire. I take pleasure in

To add to the good responses from others, I am pretty sure that terms like pedophile and ephebophile are terms used in psychology, not law. So it's just as wrong and illegal regardless of the child's age, but the psychology is likely different. Don't worry, when people correct improper use of the word pedophile,

"It's about power, sex is just an implement."

It occurs to me now that your original comment was basically "But what about the menz?" It was a useless waste of my time responding to you. Sorry Jezebel.

The overwhelming majority of rapes are not perpetrated by strangers. The issue you are discussing only pertains to a very small percentage of rapes. Most women who report rape are doubted not because they might falsely identify their attackers because of "brains" (since they know their attacker by name) but because

The challenge was to provide a reasonable basis for your assertion that abortion is one of the most morally reprehensible things one can do. The fact that you personally have a strong aversion to the idea of abortion is not a strong argument. All you have provided for us is that you think it is morally wrong

Respond to tetons please. I wouldn't be surprised if you weren't up to the challenge.

I had an abortion when I was 15. I wasn't raped. I knew about birth control but didn't use it. I was kinda fucked up and the boy I was with was not a psychologically healthy person either. People like Turqo who say people should be "responsible for their actions" and that "nobody gets pregnant by accident because

Alcoholism and under age drinking is a problem. When discussing a rape case, even if it occurred in circumstances where alcohol was consumed, it is not appropriate to discuss the alcoholism of the victim. It does serve to designate responsibility to the victim which is the definition of victim blaming. In every

I have never heard anyone who advocates for men's reproductive equality suggest that the scenario you describe would be acceptable.

Actually, I'm not especially concerned about you specifically. Our food system is bad for the environment, full stop. So you're right that meat is bad for the environment, but having your irrigated lettuce, much of which will end up in the super market trash compactor, trucked into the city is not a smaller problem.

You are right about the fact that it would not be possible to feed everyone on grass fed beef. I am lucky to have a close connection to a brilliant organic, grass fed food producer and to live in an area where that type of agriculture works well. As for transportation from farm to city, that problem is not unique to

"Everything in moderation" is not a good dietary philosophy. If gluten damages your gut or your body doesn't produce lactase or tomatoes inflame your joints or you're allergic to whatever, regardless of how mildly, then some things are never ever ever healthy for you to consume in any quantity. You might be willing

Hey, I understand your thought process here, but raising pastured beef does not have the same environmental impact as grain finished, feedlot beef. In fact, grassland ecosystems depend on large herbivores in order to be healthy. As long as the land is managed properly, I'm actually not aware of any negative

I am theoretically in agreement with your idea of equal reproductive rights for men. I think the bugs could be worked out so that children, women and men are all protected. First thing's first though: abortion needs to be practically (as opposed to only theoretically) available to all women. This is not the case
