Why? It's very important for members of this community to know what counts as sexism, so that the guidelines are clear. So far the guidelines are very...
Read the paragraph again. What is the first sentence? The world pretends to hate men like Trump but actually loves them. The second sentence is an exa...
:s Again. The argument is that they hate Trump in public, but love him in private. Is that hypocritical? Yes. There's NOTHING - ZERO - about any kind ...
No, the argument neither suggests this, nor affirms this. First of all, the similarity wouldn't hold precisely because they do take issue with regards...
The argument isn't about women, sexism and harrassment though. It's about public vs private life of the women on TV. Read this again: What is the TV? ...
Think about it. Why do you think she randomly PMs me that sexism is wacko in the US? Because she's scared! She doesn't even want to admit that what Tr...
I think the deeper problem is that such passionate individuals often make others look at themselves honestly for the first time. I mean, the reason wh...
In other words, it's about the hypocrisy of public vs. private life. In public wanting to appear one way, while in private doing something different (...
The argument isn't about any actual act of sex, but rather about the values of the people. It's not even about the fact they're women. That is only re...
By your own terms it would count as sexism if it's based on their gender. And presumably it would count as misanthropy if it's based on their humanity...
Well he has to make a practical judgement about what the women want in a situation where he's actually confronted by a woman saying no, and even physi...
Why is it hard to say? It's a relatively simple matter. You said that it's sexist because it's based on gender discrimination - namely that they secre...
IF the women on TV want to have sex with him while saying they don't, he's not a rapist. If he actually tries to have sex with a woman on TV who tells...
And by the way, I've illustrated before how my discussion was a critique of values & hypocrisy, and had nothing to do with gender. You still haven't a...
Yes, which is entirely possible. We're discussing theoretically, not practically. If you asked me whether Trump would assault them if he grabbed them ...
Because I was discussing a hypothetical scenario where what I said about them held true (and therefore there would be no assault involved). The rapist...
Where? I'm not at all clear about what is expected, and I suppose most other members aren't either. They will speak for themselves though. All I know ...
For example, this is a true statement. But Hollywood and our pop culture act disgusted when they hear it. Fake disgust of course. The fact it's true i...
>:O >:O Yes, there are some people like that. I don't understand why they behave so strangely, and even how they can live in this world like that. It ...
Now this statement is still under question given Michael's definition of sexism. But we haven't yet got around to discussing it. I'm still trying to s...
Hmm in the very technical sense of the term I agree with you. But when we use assault with regards to women we generally refer to rape and sexual inte...
None of these are sexist. Furthermore, you're the kind of crazy who even thought that thread was sexist and was actually started by another account of...
That's false. There's so far only ONE accusation of a sexist statement that we haven't yet got around to discussing. The others have been discussed, a...
That's a contradiction in terms, I never asserted women want to be assaulted. If they want to have intercourse, then they can't be assaulted, since as...
Even John Harris brings up interesting points. Yes, rapists do claim that their victims aren't "raped" because they actually want it. But why do they ...
Well yes, I think that you are right that some want to use moderation to enforce their will to power, but I just want to have a discussion about sexis...
Yes, it is the standard defense rapists and sexual assailants use. But why is it wrong when they use it? Because they're lying about the intentions of...
Tiff, TimeLine (not anymore because she sent me a PM saying she's gone to work on a documentary), Mongrel, River and Lone Wolf are just some quick exa...
Anyway Michael. We started by discussing why you think that sentence from my essay is sexist. Do you think I've done a good job to explain to you how ...
As I said, in practice you're best off - generally - to listen to the words, especially if they're a no. But this doesn't mean that the words are wher...
In practice, by words, since we cannot with great certainty predict her real desires. But theoretically, it is by her desire, not by her words. If she...
Let's consider another hypothetical scenario where a woman doesn't want to be groped but tells you that you can grope her because of social or peer pr...
Well is it assault if you grope a woman who wants you to grope her, maybe even asks you to grope her?! :s Sorry to tell you, but there's no other poss...
How is assault to be defined? Physically forcing someone (in this case a woman). How do you physically force someone if they want the activity in ques...
Care to explain why? If a woman actually wants to be touched by a man, that isn't assault, by definition it's not assault. Now if the woman doesn't wa...
I think some of them secretly desire Trump's attention because we are educated, as a society, to draw self-esteem from sex, especially with people in ...
