it’s amazing how nonchalant you are about domestic abuse.

‘And one punch to the nuts does not make a person a “domestic abuser.”’

Actually, it does.

Those stats are borne out by reality. The source I listed sources many peer reviewed studies. Perhaps you should consider that the other reports you may have heard are doing nothing more than propagating the assumptions that women are the predominant victims in domestic violence.

Thank you for the apologies. It’s all good.

It doesn’t matter how well I could throw a punch because I’ve never done it and never felt the inclination of doing so. She’s hit me though, many times. Even when I was holding our child, and while I was driving. It also doesn’t hurt to know that if I were to ever hit back, I’d be the one spending the night in jail,…

Women aren’t supposed to exhibit superhuman emotional control, they’re supposed to act like adults, and that means exhibiting reasonable emotional control.

You’re acting like it’s unreasonable to expect a woman who just found out her husband was cheating to not get hysterical enough to ground a plane. If you honestly…

Yay for condoning violence! G-Girl Power!

Maybe that’s why it’s more likely for women to commit domestic violence! Spare me the bullshit about it’s not the same. You’re right. Women are much more likely to be the violent aggressors in relationships, and in most cases when the violence is reciprocated, men are actually…

What logical fallacies are you referring to? I simply noted that the rate of false allegations is between two and ten percent of all sexual assault allegations, and that you’re wrongly assuming that the other 88-90% of sexual assault allegations that don’t result in conviction or a false allegation actually happened…

It’s pretty telling that’s the only point you responded to. What about everything else I touched on?

If male rape victims actually matter to you, maube when you list 10 points about how rape victims aren’t believed, you’d at least make a feeble attempt at not making a super gendered argument that casts men as the ones that aren’t listening to all of the female victims. .

The number of false accusations falls…

And as a man who has been raped, and knows lots of other men and women who have been raped (what, you thought rape was a gendered issue?), it appears you did not understand my point. You provided a series of examples of how in some cases, women aren’t believed they they should have been. However, you also failed to…

But that’s where you’re wrong. *9* women didn’t accuse this man of rape. One woman claims nine women accused this man of rape. Those are two totally different things. We have anonymous sources, which no one can actually confirm are different people, which apparently have accused this man of raping them .

Look, until we…

Has he been accused of rape by at least eight people? Says who exactly? One person who claims she heard from 8 different women that he raped them. What if that one person was lying and those eight women don’t actually exist. You can’t name a single one of his alleged rape victims, to listen to her story and believe…

umm... nope. Seems you missed the point of my post. It wasn’t that there weren’t people that automatically disbelieve women (that’s horrifically wrong to do) it’s that some people, presumably you, automatically believe women just because they’re a woman claiming they were sexually assaulted.

I mean, I could quite…

Have you considered that perhaps he didn’t actually rape anyone?

I genuine think many people actually believe that every single time a woman claims someone sexually assaulted her, it’s 100% true based on that alone, and that no woman would ever lie about such claims. As a result, anyone who is accused of rape is a rapist and can’t possibly be innocent.

No, Toronto is worse. At least Montreal fans have reason to expect their team to actually win every once in a while.

What are you talking about? Power imbalance? You and ellen are both women, and considering she’s a lesbian and you probably aren’t, if anything you probably have more power and privilege than her!

Or maybe a person’s power is actually dictated by the individual, and not their race, gender, sexual preference etc, and if…

Yes, because double standards are totally fine.

She would qualify and has qualified for the state individual competition. She can show up for individual events.
