Many women unabashedly say they want a man who is at least 6'1" and just say the nastiest shit about short guys.

4. Fundamentally, men in general are fair game.

Vulnerabilities are important to know only because they are a useful attack vector for humiliation.

The best mechanism for defending ones self from the abuse of people like those who felt it was important to ridicule men is to discount the fundamental worth of their opinions.

Publicly and unanonymously expressing opinions like this renders them worthy of as much consideration as the furniture.

if all men are expected to be responsible for the actions of a few, then any semblance of equality demands the same of females.

and as most males are shamed and stymied into compliance with the shrillest of voices, it will require truly strong men, men with no fear of judgement to stand up to the attacks by some women on all men.

i propose we start with the concept of rape culture and dismantle it for the good of the species.

However the value here is that it provides proof that some women are just as vain and shallow as some men, which renders examples of vanity and shallowness more reflective of the human condition rather than any single gender as is often implied and inferred.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1114&pid=6146

"Not all men rape--but all men benefit from the fact that some men do."

and alter it to

"Not all women are horrible harpies--but all women benefit from the fact that some are."

Or would this not be fair because of some patriarchy magic?

they think they're fooling people, but they aren't. They're as transparent as saran wrap. They come in and pretend to take sides for their own nefarious space purposes- sometimes they'll even pretend to be one or more people, taking opposing sides at the same time, even. They love games.



the moon bombing was just the beginning.
