Then they're liars wink. Of course POV matters. It's like the backlash of whites inaccurately claiming "discrimination" because of affirmative action. The only way I can think to inform them of white privilege is by the analogy of handicap parking spaces - the world revolves around the abled (whites) and we dont notice this unless we're disabled (non-white), or inconvenienced by handicap parking spaces (affirmative action).
Generally speaking, it's human males that are hunting the females. You dont hear about women gang raping a guy (although maybe because he wouldnt perceive it as rape).



To me and, I suppose, to the people I associate with, true logical reasoning doesn't have a gender attached to it.
I think we have to be on our guard and avoid making sweeping generalizations, because then we'd be guilty of the exact same thing that Hollyweird is doing.
And when we, as a people en masse, do occasionally fall into the habit of using those generalizations, we have to step back and recognize it for what it is and correct ourselves. I think it's equally vital that both genders have this ability.

The comparison to the French Revolution methods seems fairly apt.
I'd even go as far as to say that it's becoming a hysteria of witch-hunt proportions.
Almost every day someone new is in the public guillotine without there having been any actual charges laid yet.
It's all making my head hurt.

I was just looking again at that shot from MEG and it's clearly not a pic from the production.
It's merely some Empire staffer's photoshop result.
Weak.

I'm not the biggest Matt Damon fan, but he doesn't deserve the grief he's getting here.
His statements were logical and even-tempered*.
So of COURSE he must be wiped out.
roll eyes

(* For the record, his statement was [and I'm paraphrasing] that there is no way a pat on the butt equals an actual rape and that the consequences of unwanted sexual advances should be determined individually, according to the relative severity of the crime.)


This whole #MeToo thing is totally ridiculous. Instead of genuine sexual assault, which is obviously horrific, it now seems that anyone who has had someone blow them a kiss is claiming they have been assaulted.

And this is not just my perspective - my partner, Tracy, who is a lawyer and has acted on genuine sexual assault cases, has told me that she has often had someone RH and slap her bum or brush her boob on the tube. Does she like it? Obviously not. Does it piss her off?For sure. Does it wreck her life and cause a physiological scar that lasts forever?Not in any way at all.

I suspect the vast majority of women feel this way. Frankly if a gay guy slapped my arse I’d feel the same as Tracy. Ta not right but it isn’t life changing.

Will "office romance" be forcibly retired from Webster's Dictionary?
If so, it wont stop those crazy kids these days from "originating" the notion by calling it "workplace hookup" or "breakroom nasty."

SOLIUM:

I will continue the Sex Scandal posts until the message is understood.



As Clint Eastwood said in IN THE LINE OF FIRE, "I know things about people."

Merry Christmas to my many friends at FSM.
I'm currently imprisoned at the Federal Medical Center Devens in Ayer, Massachusetts which is has a "voluntary, intensive, residential therapeutic program for higher risk male sex offenders".
In other words, the federal government is trying to cure me of sexting 15 year-old girls in North Carolina that I want to have wild, perverted sex with.

Seasons greetings,
Anthony Weiner/Carlos Danger, Federal Prisoner #12252017


PS---If you have a teenage female relative who wants to visit me at Christmas, I'm here standing here under the mistletoe all alone. I'm not picky..as long as she's alive, under 17 years old and is not wearing a police wire, I'll do it with her.

Sorry I'm not interested in your personal crusade, and I don't find it humorous either. RIP the entertainment thread.

SOLIUM:

I discussed a related matter with Allardyce via email last year. If he reads all my posts in this thread, he should understand my meaning as it is on behalf of all FSM members.

As I quoted from Clint Eastwood earlier, "I know things about people."

Dragon, since many of us wont "get it" it comes across as a tad tasteless. So I'll change the tone with this ever-timely script excerpt...

Sorry, is this meant to be funny? It isn’t. It’s actually pretty pathetic. I Just goes to prove that being a soundtrack collector doesn’t exempt people from being tasteless. Or stupid apparently.

Yes, it's offensive, but it's an offensive parody that is meant for certain individuals that are offensive---not all of you.
As I said, before, I discussed a related matter with Allardyce a year ago.

I've been an FSM member since 2001 with no real complaints, so it's unfortunate you aren't giving me the benefit of the doubt about my posts.

Harvey Weinstein was a producer of some very respected movies “since 2001” but that doesnt stop him from a turd.

I’ve been in a relationship with a lady who was abused as a young teen and I’ve witnessed first hand the damage that caused to her and her family. Joking matter? No it isn’t.

I really hope your entire family die in a raging fire mate.

Do I really? No of course not. Im just joking. But I’ve been an FSM member for quite a few years so I hope you will give me the benefit of the doubt

That’s because you’re “parody”was moronic and unfunny.

Dragon is implying there are specific members here who have harassed women or guilty of something similar, but that doesnt spare the rest of us from the unpleasantness of the image. It's tasteless but as a passersby I imagine most of us arent personally offended like Mike is (and the offense to him was an unintended consequence). I'm not sure it was worth photoshopping and posting the image since those it's directed at probably dont care.

Thanks, Donald Jr. Glad you're finally coming out of the KKK closet so we can see who you really are.
