Lock/delete if you want, but this is a legitimate vent, about something vague and unspecified. |

The main problem is that they either aren't around anyone to teach them internet etiquette, or they are around someone like that, but they just don't want to listen. If they can't debate logically like a rational adult, then they're not worth talking to. |

Even if you think there's no room for levity in a discussion about rape, which is an opinion I can certainly respect, the way IRPH seemed to be getting demonized for it seemed uncalled for. |

The incident you are talking about didn't even have anything to do with the debate itself. It had to with a joke. That you made. 3. That joke was horribly insensitive, especially when viewed at in the light of ZG's prior sexual assault, which I believe was the post right before your "joke." 4. It wasn't even funny. |

But the joke wasn't about a man not being able to get pregnant. It was about being raped and then exploiting the rape and resulting 'man-pregnancy' for profit, while saying 'oh yeah, it's okay i was raped i guess, yay moneys'. I'm all for levity. But as I said before, if you are going to make a joke about being raped, it better be pretty damn funny. | |
