Why try to argue that with me when I make it abundantly clear that I don't make that claim?

Because, your statement was that "No one implied that they deserved it", when in fact they have.

Link to a comment that makes that claim. You can only find a link to ACs?

That's why I replied to you. To point out that your statement was factually inaccurate.

Lovely - Now I am responsible for the meanderings of random ACs in a separate thread? No one, in this thread, "implied that they deserved it". Actually, from a brief squizz through the comments I seem unable to find someone making that claim that the victims "deserved" it, other than ACs.

So much for your "factually inaccurate" claim...

Because an egregious violation of someone's privacy that's can be traumatizing as a sexual assault is a minor thing.

No, it cannot.

In a sexual assault you've had your naked body viewed and touched by one person without your consent.

In revenge porn an intimate moment with your naked body has been viewed by thousands or even millions of people without your consent, possibly including many people in your social circle.

Yes, it absolutely can be as traumatizing as a sexual assault.

I'd like to see you tell a sexual assault survivor that her ordeal was as bad as someone looking at her naked photos.

When you're in a hole, stop digging. It doesn't matter that more males than females kill tmemselves. What matters is that some people, mostly girls/women are driven to suicide because they are ashamed of something others have published about them. There is no way to make that sound okay, whatever the other statistics are.

Society "drives" more men to suicide than women. Much much more. No claiming of "mostly women" is going to change that, and no amount of posturing is going to make it okay.

Blimey, it really is incompetence in your case, isn't it? I was replying to your specific post.

this wasn't to me, yet you respond as if it was. Once again, before you go around accusing people of incompetence you might consider a remedial English class.

You said something, and I replied. This is not very difficult logic to follow. Well, not for most of us.

Too hard for you, though. My point still stands - parity as a goal is stupid, hence the qualifiers.

I've re-read that a couple of times, and it still makes no sense. Parity of treatment, which is what feminists actually argue for, is not the same as "we demand equal numbers of suicides between men and women!", because the latter would be *a really stupid thing* to argue for. Is it malice or incompetence that leads you to put forth weird strawmen?

Firstly, you shouldn't go around accusing people of incompetence when you can't even read the thread properly - I didn't reply to this message yet.

Secondly, as a matter of fact the slightly deranged group of people who keep posting stories about the *numbers* of women in certain jobs/games/industries are, in actual fact, asking for the *numbers* themselves to reflect parity. It's not my damn argument that men and women must be equally represented in $FOO.

It's illogical, irrational and inconsistent to say "parity must be achieved in $FOO, but only when $FOO is one of $BAR, $BAZ and $BAM, but not if $FOO is $CAR, $CAZ or $CAM". You can either choose a consistent viewpoint or (as many here currently do) constantly experience cognitive dissonance.

Well, they deman equality of *results*, sometimes even superiority in many other fields - high paying jobs, political power, legislation benefits.

Really? How many victims of revenge porn have demanded any of these things? All they are asking for is protection from one of the most egregious invasions of privacy imaginable. To imply that they deserve it because of some completely unrelated feminist agenda being pushed by completely different people, is idiotic.

No one implied that they deserved it; that's just how *you* choose to read it, which says more about you than it does about me.

And your point is? This is OK because it somehow karmically redresses the balance so we need to make more girls kill themselves in the name of equality? Or perhaps it's your pet cause and you want the OP to do something about it because your too lazy?

But well done for using some poor girl's suicide as a way to win points on the intenet. Go you.

What was your point? That parity between males and females is not a good thing?

A girl at my daughter's high school was a victim of revenge porn. She killed herself. That is far from an isolated case.

Not isolated at all, and becoming more common all the time.

Well, male suicides vastly outnumber female suicides, so until there is parity it's pointless to talk about how females suicides are a problem.

Journal Journal: Motorhead's Motorboat! Sept. 28 - Oct. 2 2


Last September I went on the most amazing thing ever: the first ever Motorhead's Motorboat! A heavy metal cruise full of great bands that went Miami - Key West - Cozumel - Miami. Four days of partying and heavy music.

They're doing it again this year. I've already pre-booked on Motorhead's Motorboat this time around.
