Objectifying women

[Autumnlicious]

The purpose of that statement was to illustrate that I am not perfect nor unchanging.

That's not how it works. You can't just do whatever you want and expect people to ignore it because you're human. I'm a human being as well, I get frustrated, but I'm not calling people "stupid" or "morons" or anything like that.

First off, I don't give a fuck what you feel over it - if you are so petty and rigid as to be unable to take a few insults peppered among logic, then I feel quite justified in saying the internet, human society and rational discourse with anyone except for those who agree exactly with you is not for you.

This is an internet forum. Get the fuck over it.

When that happens, people usually don't seem to care, they just roll their eyes for they know they have nothing to prove.

Are you sure you live on Planet Earth?

People get upset when they can't prove themselves.

People also get upset when they stub their toes, have their dog die or be the unwilling strawman of an opposition so intent on being right that they've lost all perspective.

Your hatred is pretty toxic to me, as for others, I wonder if they feel the same.

But what lead up to it? Was the rapist mentally ill, poorly educated, allowed to run rampant, indulging in criminality beforehand?

What does that have to do with the victim? The victim can't control any of that, there's nothing they can do be "responsible", so why bring it up?

It was cited as an example for society to focus on in order to reduce the risk of others performing rape. Goes to show you cannot grasp the how these systems interact.

Was the victim walking through an alley against their better judgment, warned by others, aware of their surroundings, cautious?

It's been shown time and time again that "alley" type stranger rape is rare. Did you not read anyone's messages? It's more dangerous for you to be inside your house with your relative. Why didn't you bring that up?

Lock the door. Know your neighbors. Consider that criminals will do anything to get in. The possibilities are boundless - there are always things you can do to make it more difficult for a criminal to get what they want, and most criminals cannot be bothered to crack a tough nut.

Like I saw someone else say, that's like asking if a burn victim was standing on a ladder. Nothing to do with each other.

LOL wat?

The world is not black nor white nor shades of graym but is of color.

That doesn't mean black and white don't exist (as in cases like rape).

Then you have no sense of perspective. Thank you for clarifying.

Yes it does matter. That is why people grant "dying wishes" for people. That is why people hold funerals for people that are already dead and wouldn't know if the funeral was taking place or not. That is why people have the right to decide what they want done with their bodies/where they want to be buried when they die. That is why so many people just won't speak ill of the dead. Dead peoples' wishes (or whatever they had before they died) matter.

Many people speak ill of the dead all the time. People hold funerals to grieve, not because the dead person is getting their jollies from beyond the grave.

Only reason one grants dying wishes is to make those last moments of that person bearable, doesn't mean you have to do it, only give the appearance of it.
