Certainly, I just asked why you immediately rejected a survey without presenting any evidence that it was untrue.

Quote:I didn't say that rape of men by women was nonexistent only that it was "extremely rare".

I'm aware of that, but I fail to see how 6.3% is "extremely rare". Also, you neglected to highlight the 2008 study, which found that 46% of male victims were victimized by women.

If anything, I think those numbers show that more research is needed, but they certainly do not support the idea that female on male rape is "extremely rare" unless you want to propose a definition of what "extremely rare" means.

Perhaps just "rare" would be a better adjective.

I'm going to assume you misunderstood my meaning. Although, you can take it however you want. You strike me as one of those MRAs who is so deep into his own ass that his rhetoric is starting to mimic that of a feminazi. I mean, it's okay for men to "joke" about sexual assault, but how dare anyone question a man's sexuality? For shame.

It's been said (correctly, I think) that if the entire World were ruled by women, there would no longer be any more war, just a significant number of nations who were refusing to speak to each other.

Okay now you're just trolling me.

There was a survivor season of women vs men or something of that sort where the ladies and men were in seperate islands, you can Google to see how the women's island turned out Hehe

I assure you, I am not. You simply misread or misunderstood my comment. I'm saying women aren't dealt nearly enough compassion when they are the victims of rape. Men don't deserve that. They deserve better, as do women. I'm not sure what you thought I meant, but I'm rather sure you're just a contrary fella.

I doubt that very much. Women are very capable of violence and war.

The vast majority of Trump voters I know personally are the same. Most of us know how strange the left has become and reject it. At the same time I've met some really ignorant people who support Trump. Also have met some really ignorant people that wanted Clinton, and everyone between.

Regarding this post, the reason most don't want to perform is because everyone thinks he's what the left calls him, which are numerous names, and they don't want to be labeled as such. This is how PC controls people from straying away from the cult and plantation I left. You only know it's a cult when you leave, because when you are in it, you don't see it. The same thing happened with Obama. Any criticism even if true, would be accused of being racist, and now it's happening in a different way. And thank God we didn't get Clinton, or we would have to put up with it again by the left, where all criticism would be labeled sexist or misogynist lol.

The left in the US through the media mainly has a stranglehold on thought which prevents the truth from being told. They will be destroyed soon, but for now, it's too dangerous to cross them, because they will destroy your career.

They don't want to preform because they are afraid of being associated given a scarlet letter? Please tell me that isn't your argument? It does not matter even if he really believes the shit he peddles. Even in his "Thank you", I mean "Look I can be a dick and win" tour, he basically admitted it was all an act. What matters is that he pandered to the same dog whistle coded bigotry the GOP watered down prior to him and simply cried "FREEDOM'. 

The left are not a "cult" anymore than  Susan B Anthony was for wanting the right to vote or MLK was for standing up to bigotry and racism. Oh and fuck you talking about Clinton. She had been attacked long before she held any political office. Even when she was simply a Governor's wife long before she was nationally known, why? Because, just like conservative men still want to control the bodies of women, even when she was a governor's wife the voters she got raked over the coals for not being quiet about social and wallet issues. 

Trump ran on the same GOP who started deregulation with Reagan, the same party that in that same 36 years obstructs wages increases until they see workers getting edgy and even then what they do cave into is marginal at best and later gets eaten up by inflation. Trump also ran on the same party that gave us Bush, two failed wars and bankrupted 3 industries and we are lucky we didn't end up in a depression. 

There are only TWO presidents in the past 36 years that have had 2 terms with straight job growth and left the office better than when they left. One is leaving in January. The other was Bill Clinton.

Performers are not wanting to do it, not because they are not republicans or hate all republicans, or that because the left is a cult. They don't want to preform for him because he is simply  A FUCKING DICK, and DID pander to racism and xenophobia. 

If Iran's PM invited you to preform knowing how ass backwards their theocracy is, would you go "Hey, gotta be polite to the winner,"? Prob is with places like Iran or North Korea, when you are invited to preform, you have no choice. 


They are rejecting is invites because he is a dick and a demagogue and DID pander to racists, and even Colin Powell, a REPUBLICAN called his tactics racist.

Are you fucking kidding me? You do understand that the CEOs whom own MAJOR national air and cable media are BILLIONAIRES and have a tendency to vote like any other business to cut their taxes. MSNBC has been gutted of most of it's sane programming outside Maddow and O'Donnell, AMJoy is only on the weekend. Morning Joe is a fucking republican and a joke. CNN isn't that much better. ABC and NBC AND CBS fake neutrality, but all of them bent over backwards giving that orange asshat almost 2 billion dollars of free airtime when you count mentions and not just interviews over the past year of his campaign, far more than any of the other candidates.

Corporate media loves a conflict, it sells, and that sells add space. Put Jerry Springer on meth in front of the camera, the networks make money.

There is no "left" media nationally . If you want that you'd have to go to the New York Times, Washington Post, Vanity Fair and Huffington Post. Outside a few national Journalists, most simply blow whatever way they think will bring in the bucks.

Even if you are there's no need to mock rape victims in any fashion. I wouldn't mock you if something of that sort happened to you.

I'm not sure how much compassion raped women are offered with but I'm 1000% sure they do recieve tremendous amount of support and are properly served justice. This is not the case for men at all. Men are laughed at for getting raped.

I'm not saying women have it perfect, I am however saying there is something seriously wrong when it is socially accepted to laugh at a male victim for receiving abuse and mocking him with no repercussions.

Where's the social justice warriors on that?

I notice you still haven't replied to my last post, Pool.
