I recall a South Park episode like this, where the parents gave up their kids cause most molestations are done by someone the kid knows, or something. Think it had Mongols in it for some odd reason.
Please, then show her your efforts. Of course women tend to be protective of their men, in particular their children, but I suspect that if she is fair minded, you'll find yourself on the receiving end of a conversation you never expected to hear. I already showed my mother, she agrees with me, happy? If you're REALLY curious as to what women would think of this feel free to post this on random female communities. I imagine some would be pissed at my imprecise wording, but still think said woman was a bitch, or at least wrong in some way.
No, please don't set up the straw man. Men and women are different, we think differently, not on average as differently as the variations from within our sex, but still differently. Ironically, one of the characteristic often mis attributed to feminists by right wing nut jobs is the the 'equal at all costs' approach.
You went further than stating we're different, you obviously stated we're stronger than women in some way shape or form, otherwise they don't need unique protection by men, especially not in a trivial situation like this one. Do tell me how I set up a strawman.
That is the side you have chosen. Look at this thread, the original troll post, which you have never even acknowledged, is a scathing attack against a woman's accomplishments. After that, it was all about you guys insisting that militant feminist are 'real', and expecting contrition from me for defending (I'll say it again for effect) a poor scarred girl caught up in a moment of fear. We all have fear sometimes, expecting perfect response under such circumstances is silly at best. I said nothing against the woman mentioned in the article, or militant feminism. Stop fucking claiming I did, cause I don't really care about either. I heard about Gail Simone months ago, and I don't read DC comics. I've nothing against women comic book writers in any case, and don't think "feminazis" have any real control over mainstream feminism.
Oy vey... dude I understand your pov. However, I also think the rationale is retarted. Notice the part where I stated when I might sympathize? Like I said the only reason to have fear in that senario is if your acting completly irrationally, and again apologizing for insulting someone after an irrational action is polite. I apply this rule on every male and female. You think becuase she might've had some crappy data shoved into her head we should be kinder. I disagree and wonder why you even make such an assumption. While we're at it I'll just assume she was just a man hating bitch, and a world weary senior. Just as vaild no?.
At this point we're starting to talk in circles. Feel free to always assume that women are mentally dainty when they blow up at ya for no apparant reason, and only deserve our sympathy. My mom and closest female friend send their rational non dainty FUs for that notion btw. They have their moments of stupid like we all do, but don't expect men/women to kow tow to irrational rudeness.
So I'm an idiot for calling for understanding. Empathy for others is the most human of characteristics, however some lack it, men more often than women. In the end, I hope that your apparent lack of empathy is a function of internet abstraction and male competition (always wanting to be right), rather than the efforts of a budding psychopath. In this precise situation, yes I lack sympathy. If you've fucking read my posts a bit close I've stated when I might have empathy (same situation only it's dark, etc). But continue to assume I'm a irredemable sociopath, if it make you feel any better.
No, I'd think that if some guy was trying to pound me in the ass in that situation we'd be making enough noise (cause one of us will be yelling in pain very soon in that senario) for me to worry about rape, assault yes. I'd understand if she said it to some guy trying to get her drunk, I'd possibly even understand it if it was dark (it'd still be rude, but then I can at least get the fear). In the current situation she at best acted totally irrationally and needs to apologize.
Most cases of college rape are done by people the female knows. I do wish people would remember rape in any form requires you to have easy access to a person, so the chances of a stranger trying to sexually use you, is relativly slim (not to say one shouldn't be wary of course).
Incidentally, why do you assume I'm angry with women instead of this one female who for all we know doesn't exist? It's rather hard to be mad against a sex I consider equal to my own, but perhaps you think differently.
Er... no, being told there's a 25% chance of rape is no excuse, especially when you're in campus during the day with at least some people who can hear you. If I start giving women special treatments in such situations then I'll be forcing myself to believe that women are inferior to men in some way, and frankly I don't want to do that. It'll be like me after hearing theft is rising, accusing someone of stealing when they help me say... pick up my wallet. She might have been scared, but her actions were inexcusable, no justification can change that.
I was under the impression that the issue was memory fragmentation. Ah well... does anyone have a link about this? I swear I read it somehere, or maybe it's from here heh.
Perhaps the argument is that no matter what the financial situation is women statistically end up doing most of the housework/childcare. I not exactly sure if this is true (though it does fit with my personal experience), but there's no need to get into knee jerk defensivness.
why is this on the front page of slashdot? The folks who already have the browser will already get it automatically, and for those who don't... well doesn't really matter for them no? So who does this leave, the folks who do have firefox, but disabled auto update, yet still cares to update his/her browser while NOT visiting firefox's release page?

Have to agree, personally I found the villans extremely irritating. Not to mention while a few dumb people in a show can be amusing, when the entire cast acts as stupid as Homer Simpson, I just feel disgusted (I needs my straight man).
It's more like while folks in places like here and gamepolitics acknowledge games affect people, they don't think games makes people more violent. Afterall while many would say they've been "changed" or "influenced" by a book/movie/game how many would say they've been influenced to be more violent?
That arugument works as much as the argument that nations are becoming police states because they all have groups dedicated to keeping peace. There's plenty of things that can be considered wrong with the new policy, but your response is little more than reactionary bull.
Unless he doesn't consider Israel a "zionist regime" he is actually saying he wants to get rid of the Israel. Course "wipe off the map" is vague, could mean kill them all, or get rid of ruling body.
Eh, give it a generation. Either things like "white men (or just men in general) are stupid," or of course Mario's accent will be considered wrong. Or we'll losen up and consider minor sterotypes well not worth really getting upset over. To be honest either future is fine with me.
The DS doesn't update it's firmware, and last I checked to do so required a person to void their warranty. This lack (probably to make the DS easier to use) is why R4, M3, and others can exist in the first place imo. It's unfortunately also the reason why the DS only supports WEP (homebrew firmware does exist that supports WPA last I checked).
Update: After a google check I notice the DS WPA firmware project no longer exists due to a cease and desist, ah well.
They don't want socially savvy people. Those are the folks that can manipulate people to do their biddings. A computer geek? They'll just build/fix shit for those who have above average social skills. He's most welcome in any government. Yes I'm perpetuating the stereotype geeks are antisocial, just noting book smarts doesn't necessarily mean scared government.
That's rather dismissive, is it really so hard to believe we prioritize things differently? What is it about that primal urge that makes people think those who don't consider it important to be.. off in some way? Thought the whole point of the feminist and other movements were that we might accept sterotypes, but we don't dismiss the exceptions either.

Strange, I thought most people were in debt due to medical bills.
Now now, that's WinXP. Vista is an (kind of) attempt to solve such issues, it's a GOOD thing. :)

Too many folks here are easily baited. The lack of humor doesn't help either imo.

Sounds like it could be a decent comedic story. Pity I not even good enough for Nanowrimo.
Er... where did you get that Joss Whedon was involved in Roseanne? Wiki, and imdb disagrees with you.

Er... what? Notability has always been a subjective thing since it's a things notability is defined by humans, where have you been?
Since what you just said takes less than two minutes to digest, I choose not to learn it. :P

That makes no sense, the birth control industry is thriving for a reason afterall.
