Anytime a woman experiences something bad, don't immediately feel bad for her.

Instead, ask, "If this bad thing happened to a man, then what would my reaction be?", and use that as a precedent for how to treat then woman.

This seems backwards. Wouldn't it make more sense to be nice to both men and women rather than being mean to both of them? Just because a proposal is consistent doesn't mean it is correct. Your conclusion seems akin to saying the solution to slavery is to also enslave white people.

Remy cannot get raping women out of his mind. It’s a obsession that goes beyond his rage baiting.

But they are accountable for their actions.

Does anyone care about rape.


Primarily the rapist and then the raped.


And then relative to social, intellectual and moral evolution, various other individuals and collectives like to get on board.


And for sure, angels are human fantasy creatures and therefore not human per se.

you go out of your way to dedicate months to years of your life suing the man who raped him

Yes. And putting them in jail.

Except that if a black person was a slave today, then I know the master would be prosecuted as would the enslaver of a white.

I think you understand my hypothetical dude. I'm saying if slavery was still legal in the US and someone used that argument.

Even if people are hypocrites my point is that that's not a good reason to stop caring about women who have been raped. Your argument boils down to saying some people are mean to men so let's also be mean to women.

you're not willing to care for men that get raped to the extent of being willing to sacrifice 1 year of your life to sue the rapist of the man.

I am if the man or woman is someone I know, but regardless, let's discuss a hypothetical: Someone comes to you who has spent their life fighting in court for men who were victims of rape, and they can prove it. They say to you, "regardless of what anyone else does, helping victims of rape is the right thing to do." Since you can't accuse that person of hypocrisy, how would you rebut their argument?

Alexandra Brodsky, David M. Ring, John C. Manly, Herman Law, Gluckstein Lawyers, and plenty of people who run specialized resources for male survivors. There's a lot more than that but I don't want to just list a hundred names/groups.

Human beings aren't angels; they're selfish and they have egos.

I agree, but "how do humans typically behave?" and "how ought we to behave?" are different standards. Virtue, I think by definition, is something people ought to strive for, even if few will actually achieve it. I wouldn't see "most people fail at being virtuous" as a good reason to avoid virtue, any more than "most people globally are poor" as a reason to not try to make money. But it might be a good reason to try to help others be more virtuous.

Is it easier on a national level than on an individual level to be virtuous?

I would agree.


Though some people like to set themselves up as bastions of morality...But when push comes to shove these people will inevitably contradict themselves.

You take pleasure in diminishing humans. Life must have been cruel to you.

Just because I voted to acquit you does not make your threads any less weird. Go touch some grass kiddo.


You know what? Here’s a deal. Go the rest of the year without making a thread about rape. If you don’t, delete your account. If you do, float an idea, because I bet you won’t able to do it.

I still don’t know what to type!
