or parental rights

presented as a straight concept its easier accepted by the public

when its labeled Mens Rights its dismissed as hateful and discriminatory

Yeah

Hello @Submarine Seb !

@Uberduperdrew Massively. I'm debating this lady at the moment who thinks it's an alt right conspiracy to turn everyone racist. Her evedence of this is three comments, not even posts but comments, mentioning some lady called Lauren Southern who is apparently anti immigration. I don't even know who that is. I had to Google her. Lol

This is gonna blow up today apparently

So get ready for more #yesallmen crap

hes right, NDAs don't cover illegal activity

oh yeah, wasn't objecting to that

just today I was broaching the topic that being drugged at parties is a grossly exaggerated risk... thats going to set that arguement back another ten years

I was roofied once at a bar.

whoa, really?

Yeah

The drink wasn't meant for me, though

A female friend of mine was going to order a drink and I gave her money so she could fetch me one too.

She then didn't want the drink anymore, but ordered mine anyway

And someone roofied it without her noticing

It feels like crap

thanks, that was super important for me to hear

I think it is important to be aware of the possibilities of these risks.

The problem is when you act like *everything* will post a risk.

I may have been overly dismissive

pose, not post

When you act like everything is a risk, you get the pedophile/kidnapper scare that locked away children in their homes at the end of the 90s.

yeah

This is why I can't understand why the "try not to dress scantly" argument triggers them so much

It's literally the same as me telling you not to take 200£ with you in cash if you go out at night

We're not saying "It's your fault you got raped because you were dressed in a super revealing way."

I can't seem the find the article... but there was one a little while ago about college campuses with 'teach men not to rape' programs having an increase in rapes, where as campuses with 'rape prevention and awareness' programs had strong declines

you know the rape whistle and yelling fire ones, those are apparently very affectively

Why am I not surprised

Did they seriously think a guy would go "Oh yes, I was going to rape her, but now that I know rape is bad I won't anymore!"?

well, it sounds stupid when you say it like that, but observation dictates that apparently they do

@Locke Thanks for the warning on the #yesallmen stuff. It was probably just booze and drugs, to be honest, but if it was a roofie the chances are it was literally one person at that party spiking drinks.

Like I said, innocent until proven guilty, but knowing the douche they are talking about I wouldn't put it past him.

However, I just know it will go from "Paul is a douche to" "SEE, ALL MEN WOULD DO THIS IF THEY HAD HIS MONEY AND FAME"

The 'teach men not to rape' posters and signs are a jab at people saying that it isn't wise to do such and such a thing if you want to avoid being assaulted (walking alone at night, in a dark alley, bad neighbourhood etc). They take things like that as blaming the victim and attempt to reflect that blame back, only they blame all men rather than the rapist themselves. They fail to understand that it isn't blaming the victim but simply sound advice for *anyone* no matter what their sex is

Wanna hear a funny thing?

People tell me I am crazy and overreacting because I go to Tinder dates armed.

Yet I don't put it past me for the guy I am going on a date with to be a homophobe ready to rape me and kill me in an abandoned corner.
