Argument? What argument?

In a lot of states and countries including isreal and India the only way a woman can ever be charged with rape is if is an accomplice to a man. I can tell you from experience that male victims of sexual assault are treated as a punchline.
And that's the fault of... feminists? Women? I'm not sure what your point is. Sexism is a problem, that doesn't make feminism in any way invalid.

Again the work of feminists.
Is it? Citation, please. I can't help but notice you're presenting no evidence. Also - aren't domestic abuse statistics heavily dominated by male perpetrators? Or are you saying husbands physically assaulted by women are as common as battered wives? And how do you know about police training?

I don't know. Ask the Pope of Feminism, or something.

I don't care what you've seen. Defending islam has nothing to do with feminism.

Or perhaps - don't be a pathetic creep trying to have sex with men/women you just met? Don't stick your d*ck in crazy? Predatory approach to sex (like pick-up artistry) is not something to admire, or imitate? There are plenty of things dumb people could learn, in order to avoid a lot of trouble...
The real question is how far are you willing to go. For example, as long as you have freedom of thought, you will have racist people.

I don't know who's trying to wrestle those rights away from you, but I don't believe it's feminism.

I see... But please, do tell, since you seem versed in this matter - that system they tried to set up in New Zealand - was it only supposed to be applicable to the female victims of rape and male perpetrators?

Edit: oh and if you go by the CDC numbers for domestic abuse, its about 60-40 men to women.
There is a tl;Dr video as a response to Steve shives where he goes over the numbers in a lot of detail. I will link it when I'm off my phone.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
