"Accounts from both offenders and victims of what occurs during a rape suggest that issues of power, anger, and sexuality are important in understanding the rapist's behavior. All three issues seem to operate in every rape, but the proportion varies and one issue seems to dominate in each...

I take this discussion seriously, and I don't accuse people of a fallacy as some sort of cheap swipe. The basis of your refutation was that this study was comparable to juxtaposing shopping lists of two different careers. There is no logical progression from one example to another, I even gave...

I actually have to go to bed, but I will find the study concerning deficient consent education when I awake. My mistake, you are correct. The first article I read about the study indicated it was supplied to men only, incorrectly. I don't think it impacts the implications of the study...

I'll go ahead and clear this up to save you the searching; "From September, 1980, through September, 198 1, we interviewed 1 14 male convicted rapists who were incarcerated in seven maximum or medium security prisons in the Commonwealth of Virginia. All of the rapists had been convicted of...

I disagree emphatically. Try this; Only have sex with someone when you have received an unambiguous, clear YES from that person in a setting and environment where they are comfortable and completely lucid. And, here's the important thing, only when you trust that person to be honest when...

I actually agree with most of what you've said, statistically validated stereotypes are evidence of both societal inequality and that precautions are important. Unless you believe that the reason black people are the major source of petty theft is that blacks are inherently kleptomaniac, in...

https://www.d.umn.edu/~bmork/2306/readings/scullyandmarollis.htm Have a gander at this, the first two paragraphs are particularly important regarding the second part of your post I have quoted. For anyone who can't be bothered to click the link, here's the relevant excerpt (although all of...

But in doing so you're redefining the term, unjustly, so you can dismiss it. Rape culture just means that our society facilitates rape, that's what it means, you can't change the meaning of the term and then brush it off under those definitions. That's a textbook logical fallacy. you *do*...

But you're talking in circles here, you previously said you get what rape-culture means, in response to me saying: And now you're saying that this doesn't apply because we have other problems, similar in severity. What you need to remember is that I'm not arguing from the perspective that...

Really? So is this class just full of rapists or is there maybe something wrong with the way we teach children about consent? http://accidentaldevotional.com/2013/03/19/the-day-i-taught-how-not-to-rape/ Why do so many rapists defend themselves with the idea that what they did could happen...

Why? I get what that sentence means, but why is it so hard to apply that term? We're a culture that holds a lot of gender disparity, a great deal of sexual assault and a veritable legion of cultural tropes that reinforce these problems. If I'm right, as you have said, about the disparities...

There's two possibilities here; They meant to do this all along as some sort of perverse PR trick, or they honestly needed a wave of revulsion to tell them their insane schemes were a little on the nose. And both of these options are terrible, terrible things.

You are both right, and rape is considered reprehensible in most countries, even those we tend to think of as backwards in regards to sexual liberties still treat unlawful or unrighteous sexual assault as heinous (they just have less situations where it is unlawful or unrighteous). But, while it...

If I had a fatal disease, or something akin to Alzheimer's, I would consider ending my life. Beyond a certain point in the first case, I would not consider my life to hold much value, it would be mostly full of sadness and pain without a likely end. In the latter case, I would be unraveling at...

I have to butt in here, on my own account finally, to rebound your accusations of utter nonsense. Sometimes electing for death is a rational decision. Horrific disease, mental decay and impending suffering are all reasonable instances for ending your own life. Life has no value any more to its...
