So they have no problem making everything into an exercise in hypothetical scenarios, arguing about how someone is arguing wrong or picking apart wording instead of discussing the issue like compassionate, intelligent adults. In reality, even though sexual abuse and assault happen to men too, it's likely every man on this message board has at least one woman close to them in their life (if not several) who've been raped or molested and I'd venture almost every woman you know has been at least harassed in school, at work or by a stranger in public. I don't feel comfortable telling other people's stories, but several women in my life have some very intense versions of these types of experiences. Ranging from rape to serial child molestation and I have had suspicions that a lot more people I grew up with or are/have been close with have had similar experiences, but never disclosed it explicitly to me.

So when people start slinging around political buzzwords as insults and picking apart the wording of someone's statements, it brings up a lot of anger. When someone just wants to find a way to win an argument, but the other person is dealing with very real and intense tragedy and actual human lives, trauma and misery that has tangible and terrible long term consequences.

Very important things to say.

This thread is hilarious.

I used to think The Velvet Hammer was pretty lame, but now that his over-moderation is adding controversy, I think he's bringing real value to the board.

Apparently Rose McGowan was told she shouldn't pursue charges against Weinstein back in the day because she'd done nudity in films and it might therefore undermine her credibility. Stuff like that really is some of the most ludicrous to me out of all this sick shit.
