What you're describing reminds me of an episode of Sliders, where they slide to an Earth where "traditional" gender roles were reversed. It was an eye opener, seeing Remy getting treated how he always treats women.
I have not used a strawman argument or ignored what you have said.Abandon4093 said:You're not infuriating because you're disagreeing with me. I have pleasant disagreements with people all the time.Carpenter said:Man you just need to calm down. It's seriously not healthy to get that angry at somebody you have never even seen over a disagreement online.Abandon4093 said:I'm struggling to put in to words exactly how infuriating you are. Atleast in words that wouldn't get me banned.Carpenter said:Ok I'm just going to drop this since you are taking everything personally or intentionally trying to derail this thread.
I just pointed out how "female domination fetish" is not comparable to sexual assault, but I guess you just compared them to start a pointless argument. Since you can't carry a conversation without accusations and insults, I think we are done here.
I wasn't making a comparison to begin an argument. I have explained what I was doing on 4 separate occasions. It's not my fault you seem to be completely incapable of understanding anything.
Either go read the numerous comments explaining what I said or just don't reply.
Seriously reevaluate what is important in your life. While you are accusing people of attacking you and insulting me, there's people in the world with real problems.
You're infuriating because you're completely ignoring what I'm saying and are just replying to some extreme strawman.
It's completely insufferable.
SVU also had that episode where a woman snuck into two men's apartments, drugged them, shoved objects into them anally, and carved words into their chests. They caught her going after a third victim. Then, in a surprising twist, complete with an "I know we don't usually blame the victim, but..." they realize that the three men in question had raped the woman when she was a girl at summer camp, get them all convicted with serious sentences, then *apologize* to the woman at the end that they couldn't arrange anything lighter for her than a single charge of trespassing. Apparently the moral of the story is that it's OK to go on a spree of violent and sexual assault, but only if it's for revenge and you are female?game-lover said:The TV show "Criminal Minds" has touched on sexual abuse in male backstories quite often. With little non graphic flashbacks of what happened to the victim. It tends to be important because that's what turned the guy into a serial killer. I remember clearly this one episode with this guy living with his mother, pushing her around and her hiding his crimes and being a little smothering. And it was revealed she'd abused him almost every night when he was a little boy. So creepy in her possessiveness... upon hearing she would never see her son again--after they got him then went after her for the abuse, she tried to run the police down.
Law and Order: SVU had this young adult male going around and violently raping older women. Like in their 30s and up. Ended up being that when he was a child his female babysitter sexually abused him. But there were no consequences. The end result being he tracked the woman down, tried to get her to admit to what she'd done and apparently when she wouldn't, he brutally murdered her.
I'm reading this book series now where 3 of the main male characters all have rape in their backstories. One male on male courtesy of being held at knife point... one with a single female and other males due to being held as a slave... and one where blackmail is used to make it happen.
I didn't imply that you said anything you hadn't said. Perhaps you just insinuated that.Abandon4093 said:Carpenter said:I have not used a strawman argument or ignored what you have said.Abandon4093 said:'Razor wire pubic hair' is a short bizzaro novel by (I forget) and its pretty much exactly what you described. Think a mad max type world populated by women and ridiculous clones of men with 3 penis' and no arms etc, for the sole purpose of being sex toys for the perverse warrior women. It's sort of interesting in a weird way, but mostly it felt like the author was trying too hard to be different. The dom-sub romance that sprouts out of nowhere is also pretty lame.
Y the last man deals with it in an infinetly more interesting manor.
As for why this sort of thing is rarely ever portrayed with the same frequency as women. Well put simply it wouldn't happen.
In an appocolypse type of situation, men would simply be in more of a position to exert their power over women en mass than vice verssa. As a whole men are stronger and much more physically capable than women. Exceptions to the rule don't break it.
Men do get raped in fiction a lot, but its usually by other men because 1. thats more disturbing to most men and 2. its more understandable. There is however a whole fetish built around being dominated by women.Carpenter said:There are also fetishes based around women wanting to be dominated by men.
Does this mean it's unlikely that a man would rape a woman? The fact that a guy likes being dominated by women doesn't mean he really wants to be raped by women. BDSM Is not rape, or even close to it, it's consensual sex involving simulated domination and submission.Notice how you implied I had said something that I hadn't?Wiki said:A straw man is a type of argument and is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position.[1] To "attack a straw man" is to create the illusion of having refuted a proposition by replacing it with a superficially similar yet unequivalent proposition (the "straw man"), and refuting it, without ever having actually refuted the original position.[1][2]
And as I have explained at-least 6 times by now, I brought up the 1 line reference to female domination because I thought it was relevant to point out that although it may not be common in popular media, it is certainly in parts of our culture.
And you've ignored me saying that 6 times. You'll probably ignore it this time too.
Which is why you're here now, arguing.Carpenter said:I simply choose to stop arguing because you take every disagreement so personally.
Will you knock it off with that shit. You haven't got any idea of what my real life situation is like, how in the hell would you know if I had real problems or not?Carpenter said:Seriously, get a life, please. There are people in the world with real problems, a person disagreeing with you is not "completely insufferable" it's just petty and silly.
Stop detracting from everything I bring up with new and exciting bullshit.
Believe it or not, when someone comes online and misrepresents what you've said and then ignores your multiple explanations.... That gets on your nerves.
Absolutely fuck all to do with someone disagreeing with me, for them to disagree with me they'd have to understand my position, not some hyperbolised misrepresentation of it.
Just imagine if that episode where the guy get rapes was about the guy raping those women as revenge. Wonder if that would rub people the wrong way somehow.Schadrach said:SVU also had that episode where a woman snuck into two men's apartments, drugged them, shoved objects into them anally, and carved words into their chests.

You seem to think you're good at trying to hustle people off of a point you've lost by brining up asinine crap that has no baring on the argument and is really only of use to try and defame the person you're arguing with (BTW, we've got a name for that particular informal fallacy. Argument Ad hominem.)You seem quite paranoid and angry. Are you aware of how pointless this all is? How small this silly thing is? Are you even close to understanding the things in this world that are worth being angry over?
Oh, and you're not that good at them.
Ooooh, oooh. I can do this too.Nah let's just argue about this petty stuff. It's been like three days, and you are still spewing obscenities like this actually matters somehow.
It's been like 3 days and you're still spewing logical fallacies left right and centre in lue of actual arguments.
And let's be frank, you're still here spewing your shit after 3 days, if this honestly meant nothing to you. You'd have moved on by now.
You know, considering how piss poor your attempts to redirect this argument have been. I'll give you one thing, you're sure as shit entertaining.
I didn't reply to something you didn't say, you just seem to have selective memory when it comes to what I have said.Abandon4093 said:No, no, no, you haven't 'been boobed'. You simply boobed.Carpenter said:I haven't been "boobed" nor would I have any trouble admitting I had
You replied to things I didn't say, if that wasn't intentional it was a boob, if it was intentional you're pathetic. So which one is it?
Funny, you're still here.because this is ridiculous and sad. Get a life.
Hmm.
No you disagreed with a point that you made up and then attributed to me. Again, strawman. I will have explained this to you around 8 times now. And you haven't done anything to dismiss this barring handwaving it away and saying 'not a strawman' whilst studiously ignoring the parts of my post which prove it is.I disagreed with you, clearly you take that very personally, forget it ever happened and grow a spine.
So who needs to grow a spine and start addressing this shit? Oh right, you.
Do you realise how deliciously hypocritical this is? In your last 3 comments you've Told me to 'grow a spine, get a life, I'm paranoid and angry and that I don't have any idea what real problems are and that I need to understand that there are people out there with real problems.'When you say shit like "You seem to think you are good at" with no knowledge of who I am, it shows how paranoid and obsessed you are. Just read your last few comments, you sound like a rabid loon. Get.A. Life.
All without knowing jackall about me. Because all you can really glean from this exchange, is that I really, really fucking hate people who quote someone and then reply to what they'd like to have been there. Not what was there.
No, I want you to take something away from this. And that is that making a strawman argument and bluntly refusing to address this when you're called on it is utter horseshit.You win, is that what you want to hear?
Put simply, do not quote someone and reply to something they never actually said, and then sit back and act like you've done nothing wrong.
So after what seems like a thousand comments later, I'm left wondering whether you actually read one of them. Kudos, it's not often I see this kind of stubborn ignorance. Not understanding a post and replying to what you think they said, I could deal with that. But X amount of comments of explaining what the first comment meant and not once have to even tried to understand.Whatever you were trying to say with your random comment that men secretly want to be dominated by women, you were right. Whatever that has to do with sexual assault in movies, I agree. Does that make you feel better? Did that make all the pain go away?
That's just pathetic.
