Bay 12 Games Forum

It doesn't make you a serial rapist, but you should seriously sit down and think about it. Alcohol and consent are two things that get very muddy very quickly, as there's a very dangerous area of where reasonable consent and the withdrawl of it that can potentially end very badly. Don't get drunk and have sex with someone, and don't have sex with someone who's drunk - whether you're raping them or not, it's still creepy as hell to be engaging in intimacy with someone who you acknowledge doesn't have a clear mind.

Also if you're abusing alcohol that frequently you probably have other issues at work there. If you feel you need a substance to enhance or engage a social situation, you probably need to take a step back and reevaluate it's position in your life.

G-Flex, you seem to think that rapists aren't, in general, either unbalanced or stupid. You can't just say "don't rape".

The blame is entirely on the rapist, but it's not so simple to discourage it.

It's not so simple but it's a huge positive shift to not put the onus on not being raped on the potential rapist rather than the potential victim. Women everywhere are taught how to avoid being raped but that doesn't avoid the problem that men aren't taught enough that it's not ok to slutshame and seuxally assault women.

Still, though... Burger King.

Best name for Nord Kore'er? Or bestest name for Nord Kore'er?

A bit insensitive to name a population that's basically been starved to death by it's rulers after a fast-food icon.

This is why we can't have threads like this. No matter how obvious it is that Weegee there is trolling, there are far too many people on this forum who either agree with him, or don't disagree enough to call him out on it. Feminism is more relevant than ever because shit like this still exists.

If you're a woman in Saudi Arabia and vote for Islamic fundamentalist, you're not oppressed, you're an idiot.

You do realise that Saudi Arabia is an absolute monarchy and the only public positions available for people to vote into are advisory and local bodies, with very little actual power and outright no power at all to institute national change? It's still against the law for a woman in Saudi Arabia to drive or literally do anything in public without the escort or permission of a male family member.

I cannot believe that someone literally posts 'it is disingenuous to believe there is any inequality between the sexes' unironically and you guys manage to ignore it entirely and flip out over someone four posts above being 'sexist to a man'.

No, I did not literally post that.
And neither did anybody else. Apart from you, right there.

oh you're right let me just

I'm starting to think that the answer to the op is :  "because there are none".

Sexism in the sexism thread.
Stay classy Bay12!

oh dear

e: unless you're talking about the first part in which case

It's simply dishonest to claim one sex has it worse than the other.

howdy, doody

Oh wow, I had no idea this forum had so many wanna-be knights in shining armor. (Or perhaps they all just gather in "why don't women like nice guys"-thread.) It's simply dishonest to claim one sex has it worse than the other. You might as well bitch about: "The opposite sex doesn't have to carry testicles/breasts! How UNFAIR is that?! "

One could make an evo-psy argument to why feminists scream "victim" the loudest, however.

2. You can't use 'the abortion debate' as an argument for feminism, as it's a really massive moral issue, and not entirely relevant to the rights of a woman.

close second

Gosh, you're right! Let's instead focus on the vasy majority of people worldwide who are poor and culturally discriminated against in their own countries. In fact, this is such an important movement, let's name this bold new ideal after the vast-majority group who is being affected as such. This new movement would seek as a bold new sweeping motion helping to highlight the plights of this group and raise their status up to those of others around them, helping establish equality through not providing bias and privelage, but simply granting them the base rights that they deserve and have been denied them for generations.
