Comment Re:Trigger warnings inidicate deeply held bias (Score 1) 962

Then tend to dial back the blatant bigotry and use other hand waving to come to basically the same conclusion. "Men are the problem", "Women are held back by men", "Men hate and harass women", etc.

Third and "Fourth" wave feminism took radfem rhetoric and gave it a sugar coating. And simply say "you just don't understand what feminism is about" and "you're talking about radfems" if anyone points this out. They "loathe" radfems because they needed a sacrificial lamb.

You are going off with anecdotal bullshit again. "It's not uncommon" does not mean anything. It's hand waving to make it seem common.

FeministFrequency's "in depth" talks are laughably horrible. I agree though, everyone should watch them so that they understand the intellectual honesty behind the "sexism is everywhere" griefers. It is completely biased nonsense that has been pointed out hundreds of times. Of course every time someone explains why she is wrong then she and people like you use that as proof that she is right.

The best thing you could do to help women in this struggle is to shut up. You are exactly the one-sided, brazenly biased overtly obtuse caricature that people have a problem with.

You are of the opinion that nothing bad happens to men and it always happens to women. This does nothing but hurt the conversation because it's demonstrably untrue. I assure you that, as a man, I have been groped at bars, grabbed on the bus, shouted at, "objectified" and all manner of things that would be considered "sexual harassment" in the workplace if it happened to a woman. Just because it doesn't happen to you does not mean it doesn't happen. Some of us guys actually have nice asses.

RAINN's "1 in 6" stat's reference defines rape as:

Rape was defined as an event that occurred without the victim’s consent, that involved the use or threat of force to penetrate the victim’s vagina or anus by penis, tongue, fingers, or object, or the victim’s mouth by penis.

It is exactly this completely biased "survey" method that make people conclude these groups have an ideology to push. The methodology in all of these surveys that show high numbers is always pretty poor and clearly biased. This is as close to "only men can rape" as they could get without explicitly stating "only men can rape".

An ad-hom fallacy is attacking someone's character to disprove their argument. For example: "serviscope_minor is an idiot and doesn't understand what logical fallacies are and therefore everything they say can be considered stupid and wrong".

You are trying to commit a fallacy fallacy (asserting someone committed a fallacy so their argument can be ignored). But you seem to have no idea what a fallacy is (lying isn't a fallacy by the way) and ended up just committing one yourself.

Ah yes, the old "sometimes a white man gets shit so sexism and racism doesn't exist" argument. You do know that's an unsound argument, right?

You do know that's not what the poster was saying at all, right? You do know that strawmaning is an unsound argument, right?

You continually repeat that white men don't deal with these issues. Then when a white man comes out a says "well actually I do have to deal with those issues" you insult them and say they're implying racism/sexism doesn't exit.

Congrats on exemplifying exactly why the parent poster is so fed up with you idiots.

The questions are designed to establish a pattern of behaviour.

You can say that again. The questions are designed with a conclusion already in mind.

If you are depending on "the context" and what's "fairly clear" in a study you want to pass off as scientific then you need to be ousted from the field immediately. I would say that only people looking to deliberately misrepresent data would ask such an ambiguous statement in a survey.

It seems that for all the progress that has been made we still have a very long way to go, with such a large number of people still in denial.

Yeah, idiots like you keep getting in the way of real progress.

Women do use that as an excuse for irritability and bad behaviour frequently enough that maybe these men are just willing to take women's word for something that they, as men, have no experience with. And being that many women do experience cramps and general uncomfortableness they may very well be extra irritable. But you're right, it's probably just horrible sexism from men again.

Comment Re:Such harassment (Score 1) 362

So constantly propositioning some one is not sexual harassment because that is a sexual preference thing and not a gender thing? No, sexual harassment absolutely refers to the sex act part. The term has been watered down to absurdity by this "women are weak and need to be constantly protected over everything" mentality. The term should mean something specific and instead it has been morphed into a nebulous term that can be applied to anything and nothing at the same time.

People say that this kind of thing should not be included in the definition because it muddies the term. Any fact of "legal definition" is not a counter point to "it shouldn't be part of the legal definition".
