I was responding to the Dunham situation you raised which involves a man and a woman in the position of aggressor and receiver. You will note that I spoke of booth male and female victims of rape in previous responses. Keep up. Also, read the entire account and know your facts.

I am still going with more valuable than people who have sex with super drunk men and women who haven't given them explicit consent.
"Actual rapists"? Really? Sounds like you might think "legitimate rape" is a thing. And, you added victim blaming to it too. Wow, if I couple that with throwing retardation around casually, sounds like you hit the ignorant trifecta.
So, if something is pervasive, there is no need to create language for it? So the entire English speaking world should white out the dictionary definitions and appearances of classism, racism, agism, sizism, and the many other words that aren't being used in direct opposition to a utopia? Really?
It wasn't tone policing. And if you read the thread, you'll see that she and I figured out where our signals were getting crossed. I said in my original comment, that may be her experience but it is certainly not every biracial person's experience— that was the point I was trying to make. Since Jezebel and Groupthink…
Are you worried that anyone who didn't fight off your abhorrent advances is regretting it now? Because I would be. I think there are some lovely (not really lovely) MRA boards you might like.
You know there are also "Liberal Bastions" in places that aren't cities right? There are entire portions of the midwest that aren't the racist hellholes that some people apparently think they are.
This is exactly how I feel. Yes, the sperm bank absolutely fucked up and they should make it right as best they can. But the "we can't possibly raise our child in this community because of intolerance!" angle is rather far-fetched.
I don't understand why their lawsuit has to justify anything beyond, "You gave us the wrong sperm."
Yeah, I feel you. And I don't think anyone is saying that they aren't liable for the initial breach. But that's only half the analysis. You then have to determine how the person is injured and what he value of those injuries are. This is why they're going for "emotional distress" because you can't really say they…
MRA Trol checklist:
People who believe that "pretty much all college hook-ups are "rape"" are usually rapists themselves. If you don't know the difference between two mildly drunk people consenting to sex and utilizing (or relying on) alcohol to incapacitate a person so they can be more easily raped, then you are a dangerous person.
" But using modern, feminist terminology, pretty much all college hook-ups are 'rape'"
I dislike Lena Dunham as much as the next person, but can we please have the courtesy to believe her story and sympathize?
Yes, it would. This is very clearly medical malpractice, and like I said in the OP, I think she probably needs the money to get her daughter to a healthier environment. But suing on the theory that she never would have had her daughter if she had known in utero that she was going to be black is disgusting, and the…
>>>>""She's not what I wanted and I can't guarantee I, my family, or my community, won't be racist towards her and I have no intention of trying to ensure that doesn't happen, now give me money for having to put up with this Black child."
I am black and was adopted by white parents. Four of my siblings are black and 3 are white. I have more in common with ALL of my family than with those who are not my family regardless of race. Although my family talked about race, it was never something contentious or to be fearful of. We are siblings, period. My…
Right. So, I get the concern. It's a slippery slope argument. If they messed up one thing, how do I know they won't mix up something else. But here's the problem with that:
I feel if the lawsuit was just about the malpractice, then there wouldn't be much to talk about. Yes, the donation center messed up and that's not OK. However, the mom is talking A LOT about how her daughter's blackness is a stressful hardship. She didn't have to say anything about going to a different shop to get…
