Well first off, if it is depicting an average family, then stepchildren are common. But second, sometimes biracial kids very much favor one race over the other.

Yup- you are always the other.

I hate that saying. We aren't agreeing to disagree. Neither of us has any control over the other person's opinions so it's silly to say we agree to disagree as if it is something we could otherwise disallow. We simply disagree on some things and agree on others, that's all. It's not an agreement, in fact. It's a…

It's been fun talking to you but I have to get on dinner now, and this is getting a little tedious. If you simply make the choice to try to understand someone else's point of view you can do it. You are clinging to a worldview and it's a little old. I've already said that I get what you are saying about media hyping…

I didn’t say women were forced to account for men’s feelings. That’s not what I said at all. I’m saying that men view conversations and encounters with women through their perspective as men, which often has an undertone of being entitled to the woman’s attention. This woman was not talking to men or having an…

Absolutely. They also (usually) have no personal experience whatsoever with terrorists or terrorism. So I don't get what your analogy is trying to do. If the same person lived in Mosul, I'd answer differently.

Emotions are not rational, one. You say this, then conclude that women should be more rational. Two- the fear of being kidnapped is much greater than getting in a car wreck, despite the fact that the later is more common. This is how humans think about risk. Three- you keep talking about the unlikeliness of extreme…

Of course we are. That's what I meant by talking past each other. But you are admitting exactly what I'm talking about. It comes down to being about how a woman's actions affect a man's feelings EVERY TIME. It's just particularly ironic since this was a post in which a woman is talking about how men's actions…

I’m a woman, and breastpumps and nursing in general freak me out, especially when the nipples get long and swollen. Serious heebie jeebies. It makes me triple check my birth control and makes me want to wrap a blanket around my breasts. It’s the same feeling you might get if you watched someone stick a needle in their…

But I'm saying it's not necessarily irrational for a woman to worry about being snatched in a parking lot since A) women get snatched in parking lots and B) the woman has probably had an experience in her life in which she was harassed by someone in public.

I keep feeling like we are talking past each other, and I can’t tell if it is because of your worldview or if you just aren’t reading or what. Domestic violence is only one aspect of violence against women. We could go through them all one by one, every violence against women, and you can talk about how all of them…

I’m aware of what happened in this thread, I don’t know why you are reviewing it. I meant the original post that you and I are discussing. It seems you are being really nit-picky here.

Also you STILL don’t get the point. She is talking about her emotional response to emotional situations in her own life. She is not…

Being killed is rare. Being harassed when you go out and being harassed on a date is extremely common. Even in a place where it is rare, it’s absolutely terrifying when it happens and it makes an impression. I go out in my town at night alone all the time. I’ve been here for five years. In all that time, I’ve only…

There is definitely a media bias towards young and photogenic women, especially if she has small kids and is lighter skinned. I think your edit might include some corrections- targeted killings of women because they are women include domestic violence but also murder outside the context of a relationship. But murder…

Dude, I have no earthly idea what an MGTOW is, and I googled it and see it is some acronym that has something to do with a male response to feminism and I just really don’t care. My point is that the OP is talking about how constant exposure to male violence in her own life has made her decide to avoid men. It has…

HOLY SHIT. But that's what I mean. Imagine this scum had slit the throat of a refugee or of a transgendered person. The hate crime would be blasted everywhere, Bruce Springsteen would boycott the town, etc. But since it's a a domestic abuse case, it's just like, yeah it happens.

Yes, and it’s enforced by a system that continues to control women outside the home- shutting down abortion clinics, sending women to prison who fight their domestic abusers or in the Florida case simply shoot at the ceiling to scare off domestic abusers, and having backwards laws about oral sex not being rape or that…

Ha ha! Alright, I can see that her stance is a bit extreme, but I think it hilariously proves her point for someone to respond by talking about how her avoidance of men due to fear for her own safety affects the men. OMG.

Much better. He's brilliant.

It's a hilarious gag when done with someone who actually has talent, a good forum, and a legitimate reason to call attention to himself.
