Can't piss of a girl cause she will claim rape.

Can't play with kids or have a camera on the beach cause you will be a pedo.

That last bit is painfully true, I'm Japanese, my husband is white, we were in the UK not too long ago with our daughter (who for the most part looks mostly japanese), i left him with her in a mall to use he bathroom, and when I came back a woman was stood next to him with a security guard attempting to hold him down for "abusing someones kid", all the while he was saying "what the hell, its MY DAUGHTER", when i ran over and asked what the hell, the security guard instantly turned to me and said "is this your daughter", I obviously sad yes, and before i could say another word he says "we've caught this man trying to interfere with your child", the police have been called and are on their way.

I was like, HELLO, IDIOT, THATS MY HUSBAND, AND HER FATHER.

Stupid ass woman stuck her nose in the air and says "hmpf, doesnt look like it" and walks off, meanwhile the security guard borderline forces us to stay until the police arrive, to "double check".

People need to stop being so fucking retarded and paranoid, all they ever seem to do is attack others and the second the person/group they attack so much as raise an eyebrow, they play the victim card and the media both laps it up and sides with them.

WTF your story is horrible. Sorry your family had to go through that.

lol what planet are you living on where the primary market for prostitues is teenagers?

The same planet where the following is true:

"As of 2014, the average age for a video game player is 30" (source)

"Some men first used a prostitute at the age of 14. More than a third first bought sex between 18 and 20.
One man claimed: "It is uncomplicated, it's a good way to have your first sex."Another revealed: "There was pressure to go along with the guys. It was a common experience for young guys, for their 16th or 18th birthday."
(source)

Fact of the matter is simply that the primary market for prostitute use, is virtually identical to the primary market for gamers.



What the hell is rape culture?



o_O.Q said:

well yes because we are rapidly approaching a situation where any instance of sex between man and woman is going to be considered rape by the man on the woman

I know the people you are talking about, and if they came close to implementing what you mentioned the gloves should come off in my opinion.

Also it's good to note that on average the extreme feminist who support these kind of laws are not the lookers who receive all this supposedly unwanted attention.

WTF is wrong with some peole? You don't become a rapist from a video game. You need that special "fucked up in the head" as well...


So you are saying that Rapist are just people who are messed up in the head? Our culture plays no part?

Rape culture is not a real thing.

It's only rape where people pretend that it has it's own culture.

And I do not include people who get drunk and have sex as being raped, mainly because that would mean at least half in intercourse in the world would be rape.

Do you believe that the millions of boys aged 13-17 who will most definitely find themselves either watching these YouTube videos, or playing the game themselves, are being taught that using woman as physical objects is part of being a man,

I don't understand. Aren't women physical objects? Just like a baby, or a horse, or a car, or a video game console, or a man for that matter. Using women as mental objects is called masturbation.

All people are physical objects, people have no problem praising each other for their mental attributes but somehow physical atributes are not worthy of praise?

Seems like a charade by the people who came out with bodies on the poorer side of the spectrum are perpetrating the myth that people are not objects.

Their was an airline that refused to let single men sit next to unnacompanied children due to "the high risk single men present to unnacompanied minor's".

Wonder what would happen if their took race or religion into consideration for matter like that?

There is some grain of truth in what you said. But society also promotes the notion 'well she deserved it' and invalidating her claims. Shouldn't have be wearing that. Shouldn't have gotten drunk. Shouldn't have lead him on. Shouldn't have been alone. Should have reported it sooner. 

Neither gender should have to put up with the bullshit they do, but everyone's too busy exclaiming how THEY have it so much worse than the other side they nothing gets resolved through all the whining and accusations, which only serves to create an even bigger divide and more resentment.

 

yes i think criticising women on what they wear is stupid however

 

if someone puts themselves in a dangerous situation with no regard for their safety... they are indeed responsible to some extent if something happens to them

this "victim blaming" nonsense is just one of many methods being used to take responsiblity away from women for their safety

 

which ironically objectifies them... if you are unable or unwilling to take responsiblity in any given scenario then you are taking the passive position of an object or a child who needs their parents to keep them safe

Both men and women are object though, and pretending were dont have object like characteristics is just denying reality in my opinion.

Woman are free to do what they want with their bodies, but man can't use her if she allows? Or if she claims she didn't want then it's rape? Crazy new world.

I was honestly shocked when I saw how many women (and a few white knights) supported the idea of withdrawn consent.
