@BillRM,
Quote: An you have a poor opinion of men as a whole joining firefly in her opinion that most men are sexual predators or would be sexual predators held barely in check by the laws.
Because you continually make false statements, like that, about me, is why people don't believe you--you have no regard for the truth.
In the 10 years I've been at A2K, I've never voiced that opinion of men, or anything close to it, because that's not how I feel. Most men are not sexual predators, only a very very small percentage are, nor are most men "held barely in check by the laws". And the sexual assault laws were written and voted into effect by predominately male legislatures--men want these laws as well, to punish offenders and try to deter such
crimes.
But, unlike most men, you are downright paranoid regarding women. You've compared having sexual contact with any woman, other than your current wife, to playing Russian roulette. You regard all women as malicious liars who might be out to harm you and all other men. You ignore the fact that the rate of false accusations is actually very low, as determined by the most recent and careful studies, and most of those involve a clearly emotionally disturbed woman, as was the case in the Duke case, and the Hofstra case you are fond of citing. You must regard all women as emotionally disturbed and evil if you think they are all liable to lodge a false rape allegation, at any moment, for the hell of it. I have no negative opinions of men in general, but you definitely have negative opinions of women in general.
I don't believe that your first wife lied about you when she got a restraining order against you. You constantly make blatantly untrue comments about me, so I have to assume you might do that about her as well. And the fact you never went to court to dispute her allegations, which you had every legal right to do, suggests her allegations might have had merit. She apparently wanted to keep you away from her, and all she did was get a court order to help her do that.
And your story about why you were asked to leave the park, when you were observed with a box of kittens and interacting with unaccompanied children, has changed considerably since you first related it. In the initial telling, you were quite clear that you were asked to leave the park because others thought you were a pedophile or child molester, and you felt this was unfair discrimination because you were a male--that was your point for relating this incident. It had nothing to do with pets not being allowed in the park. And you were using the kittens to lure children to you, so others in the park had a right to be suspicious and concerned, and to take action to have you removed. You denied the entire notion that child molesters might use animal lures in a park to entice children, when you really should have admired those other adults for being alert and protective of children. You also failed to realize that parents might not want you trying to palm your kittens off on children without getting their permission
first. Your bad judgment got you kicked out of that park, not your gender.
So you're lying in your revisionist retelling of the park incident about why you were kicked out of the park. It's one lie after another with you.
In the Rape thread you insulted A2K members who related their own experiences of rape with rather gross insensitivity. You seem to have no feelings of compassion for those who have been subjected to sexual assaults, even when they are members of our own A2K community, and when they have the courage to speak out, you tend to belittle or ignore them.
Let's get real, when we talk about sexual assault and rape we are talking about criminal acts--
crimes--and
crimes more often committed against women, but also against men . You see attempts to reduce the prevalence of these crimes, and to prosecute them, as some kind of "war on young men", and you keep reiterating that. You completely ignore the fact that people are harmed by these crimes, and your sympathies go exclusively to those accused and charged with committing them. That's exactly the same thing you do on the subject of child pornography--you ignore the distasteful industry and child victimization that consumers of this product keep thriving, in favor of seeing these people as "useful citizens", who should simply better encrypt their computers so the government can't find this material on them.
You just don't care about those who are victimized by sexual crimes--whether it's child pornography or sexual assault and rape. You've made that abundantly clear for the past several years. You blame rape victims for their own assaults, asserting "Men should not be expected to be the guardians of women"--ignoring the fact that men, just like women, should be expected to obey the sexual assault laws regarding consent--beside revealing your own acceptance of sexual assault, and the implicit contempt for women that underlies it.
izzythepush repeatedly nails you for being the liar and creep that you are, and for your continued sympathy with the perpetrators of various sexual crimes, and lack of it for the victims of such crimes. In response, you tell him he has "a poor opinion of men as a whole". No he doesn't, he has a poor opinion of
you--just as the people in the park were suspicious of
you, and what you were doing, and not men "as a whole"--just as your ex-wife got a restraining order to specifically keep
you away from her.
Thank goodness you don't represent most men, nor do you speak for most men. You generate negative responses toward yourself because of what you're like, and the views you express, having nothing to do with your gender.
