No, men face actual violence rather than mere threats. Have you seen assault numbers broken down by gender? Murder numbers?

12, since you ask. I had to fight off four attackers. Luckily they were too focussed on achieving penetration to actually work out how to immobilise me.

So I'm meant to do what about it exactly?

Abuse of women is not socially acceptable where I live, where I work, where I go out at night. Maybe you should move to a better country.

Then again, maybe I should. Abuse of men is socially acceptable, when it's merely verbal.

I can and do deal with it. I'm just fucked off with the pretense that women have it so much worse.

Yeah, I didn't report the assault I received from a woman in the workplace.

I did make notes of the incident and keep them offsite, for fear that she'd complain about me for my response to the assault - I turned and told her that if she did that again I'd punch her in the face.

She didn't report it, so I didn't bother to report it either. She was a very sexist person though.

Oh, so you're normal are you? I guess that makes the rest of us the fucking freaks?

Fuck you and your normality.

Just because the average gamer is now mature doesn't mean that there isn't a sizeable population of wankers out there too.

Anyway, what's wrong with the word 'fuck'? I use it daily, in the office, and it would be sexist of me to try and avoid it in front of my female colleagues.

Well, LtR because I never said anything about insulting someone.

Fine, their code, whatever.

You can say bad things about something withour resorting to insults.

They're interested in pressuring you to tell them everything you can.

No, they really seem to believe in the polygraphs. I know someone who was turned down for a job because the polygraph people thought she was lying about having never taken drugs. Knowing her it seemed remarkably unlikely that she had actually taken them.

Basically they're filtering out all applicants who are bad at taking polygraph tests.

That is one of the silliest hiring strategies ever devised.

you use a different definition of insulting than I do

I doubt it. That was the gist of it and what the underlying meaning was, but certainly not what I said. My point is you can say that sort of thing without insulting someone.

For example (chosen because lack of testing annoys me):

Criticism without insults: There is no testing of sub algorithms, so as it stands there is no way to tell if the bad results you're getting are due to a bad assumptions being made or a bug in the algorithm.

Insults: your code is shit and you're a moron for writing no fucking tests.

You are of the opinion that nothing bad happens to men and it always happens to women.

Nope. I'm just doubting the OP.

Supported by what you intellectual goatse, the paranoid online ravings of professional victims getting PTSD from twitter who are in fact the most privileged people to ever walk the earth?

I don't have a twitter account.

Try again?

This is a bit special. I love how you say this:

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

followed by this:

You continually repeat that white men don't deal with these issues.

I challenge you to find one post ever where I denied that white men don't deal with these issues.

White men do. But the point about this article is that women get it much, much more.

, so I guess you got me there.

Seems like I did. Unless you're claiming that people are trying to stop you exhibiting that sort of manliness.

So far you've ducked and weaved the main point about the sort of manliness you're being "prevented" from exhibiting.

Sure, just go ahead and deny my experiences. Next you'll try to tell me that I deserved it because I was wearing a kilt. Victim blaming is always popular, especially when the victim is male.

No, I wasn't blaming you as the victim, I was accusing you of making stuff up with high probability.

I've never denied the evidence.

Just dismissed it as "insignificant". Which is essentially denying it.

His point is that they're not fuckwads because they're "sexist, racist, homopobic, tranphobic", but that they're "sexist, racist, homopobic, tranphobic" because they're fuckwads.

A fine distinction but I'm not sure it matters.

Also, I think it's pretty funny that in the list of "teh patriarchy" adjectives, "cis" has become so standard despite referring to about 0.3% of the population.

"cis" refers to about 99.7% of the population. I put it in there for the sake of pedantry. The thing is a transgender man is likely to get a lot of shit as well.

Read that list of adjectives as "statistically modal white man".

I guess the more victim classes you have, the stronger your case sounds.

Whatever. Put it in terms of disjunction if you whish.

And that's just off the top of my head, I'm sure I could come up with more.

I'm not really sure what point you're trying to make.

Which is why the "invective" wasn't the fucking argument

And yet it has a logical fallacy named after it. It's called Ad-Hom.

Might want to get back to learning logic since sophistry's clearly addled your cognitive faculties, whether intentional or not.

You might want to learn to argue without resorting to locical fallacies such as Ad-Hom.

The same exact reasoning to justify TSA

They're incomparable. TSA is mandated by governments, you have no choice in the matter. Using a particular brand of smartphone is not. You are free to use a smartphone that doesn't use Google services and indeed are free to buy a Nexus 5 and then say "no" to the billion and one "trade data for feature?" prompts that appear when switched on the first time. No government goon is going to step in and insist that you send all your data to Google.

In fact, if you would prefer a smartphone that has a different data/features tradeoff then - conveniently! - Google provides a rather good open source operating system for free that you can use to build one. If others feel the same way you do you can even sell them without paying Google a dime.
