There seems to be an ongoing situation where if anyone dares to call bullshit on any aspect of the "patriarchy" or any other half baked rad-fem idea, they are instantly labeled as a rape apoligist, or a pedophile apologist, or some other trumped up vile charge designed to steer the conversation to a purely emotional context and away from anything remotely resembling logic, reason, or common sense. From what I've seen this behavior is exibited by the same few individuals over and over. I had hoped this behavior would come to an end after one of the usual suspects tried to drum up sypathy in meta for their bad behavior and got soundly schooled for it, but apparently this is not the case.

Part of the reason I shut it down is, I don't appreciate implications of rape apology. Warren DeMontague Aug 2012 #24

the only people claiming rape apology were the ones misstating what I said. Warren Stupidity Aug 2012 #25

And there is a difference between saying "it was the wrong place to ask her out", like I did Warren DeMontague Aug 2012 #27

Your anti-porn views may stem from something else 4th law of robotics Aug 2012 #14
