No, that's your issue. Not mine. Look to the thread title in order to regain your bearings.
You have come into this discussion with the premise that the "war" is just that, a physical, brutal violent action. You do this to minimize the actual argument. The argument made by all those involved is that rights of women are under assault. I have showed you that. You refuse that argument, so instead you fall back to the literal interpretation and bring rape into the discussion. You are not serious.


Er, no:No I don't.It's not a 'weird' argument. It's just an argument. And I've explained why I believe this.Cheers. What's the point?I know.
No, you haven't explained why you believe that things are not so bad for women if the "majority" are not being raped. I would really like to hear this messed up attitude.
 
It's central to the point.

As suggested, kindly refer to the thread title.

And don't get angry. You sound like a liberal.
No it is not, it is a false, dishonest, purposely miss-characterized presentation of the debate.
 
Cool. I'm not trying to convince you of anything. I know who's pulling your strings, and it ain't me.
LOL...you are not trying to convince me that your view is correct?

Wow....that is funny!

Almost as funny as seeing you thnk that there is a war on you by "women and their feminist handlers".

And once more, you mentioned rape, not me:

The US has the highest level of rape of the major industrial states, most case go unreported.

Never mentioned any 'literal' war either. Did I mention battlefields and machine guns? No.

All you've 'shown me' is that women get raped. And that there are those attempting to restrict access to abortion (which remains legal).

No, you haven't explained why you believe that things are not so bad for women if the "majority" are not being raped. I would really like to hear this messed up attitude.
I explained it. If you missed it, I'd be happy to re-post my comments.

They're not 'under attack', dude. You don't need to protect them, because there's no threat. They're at no disadvantage on account of their gender. You just believe the hype, that's all.
 
Btw, where are the feminists on this forum?

Going on 4hrs, and not one comment? I've noticed that these debates are usually left to the men to hash out. Divide and conquer perchance? :lol:
Um, I am a feminist.
 
No it is not, it is a false, dishonest, purposely miss-characterized presentation of the debate.
Repeat yourself as many times as you wish. That's fine.
 
And once more, you mentioned rape, not me:
Got it, when you mention "brutality, assaults and crimes" against women, you are not talking about rape.



Never mentioned any 'literal' war either. Did I mention battlefields and machine guns? No.
No, just this ongoing false premise of "brutality, crimes and assaults".

You just refuse to debate in an honest manner.

All you've 'shown me' is that women get raped. And that there are those attempting to restrict access to abortion (which remains legal).
Again, you are a making a totally dishonest argument, full of false premises and ignoring the arguments.


I explained it. If you missed it, I'd be happy to re-post my comments.
Do it as you like, I am willing to bet that they are a messed up as the rest of your "points".

They're not 'under attack', dude. You don't need to protect them, because there's no threat. They're at no disadvantage on account of their gender. You just believe the hype, that's all.
I know, this is your belief, in spite of the evidence presented (that you ignore) and by your holding to your false premise and your belief that there is a war against you.
 
Got it, when you mention "brutality, assaults and crimes" against women, you are not talking about rape.
I didn't. MP did. Then you mentioned rape.

And my use of the word 'brutal' is sarcasm. I don't believe women are comprehensively brutalised in society.

No, just this ongoing false premise of "brutality, crimes and assaults".

You just refuse to debate in an honest manner.
So....not a 'literal' war then (as you suggested)? Apology accepted.

And please see above.
Again, you are a making a totally dishonest argument, full of false premises and ignoring the arguments. Do it as you like, I am willing to bet that they are a messed up as the rest of your "points".
*sigh* It's 'your' argument, not mine. Do you have ADHD, or is this deliberate?

I know, this is your belief, in spite of the evidence presented (that you ignore) and by your holding to your false premise and your belief that there is a war against you.
Your words, not mine. I've countered your 'evidence' (of rape stats, which are moot).

Jesus, you give debate a bad name.
 
I didn't. MP did. Then you mentioned rape.

And my use of the word 'brutal' is sarcasm. I don't believe women are comprehensively brutalised in society.
I see, you didn't use brutal, but when you did(!?!) it was sarcasm....which again points to the serious and forthright arguments being made by you. Got it.


So....not a 'literal' war then (as you suggested)? Apology accepted.
It is sad when a poster attempts to twist his way out of an argument. I never made the claim it was a literal war, you sarcastically tried to frame the whole debate that is happening in the US on this issue as being overblown, trying to frame it as not being about restrictions on women's rights. It is about restrictions on rights and you have been doing nothing but avoiding the topic.

And please see above.

*sigh* It's 'your' argument, not mine. Do you have ADHD, or is this deliberate?
You have no purpose here other than to deny what is happening.


Your words, not mine.
No, they were your words :"do you think I'd like for women and their feminist handlers to have one more club to wield?"
You apparently believe "clubs" are being used currently against you and more on on their way.


I've countered your 'evidence' (of rape stats, which are moot).

Jesus, you give debate a bad name.
Yeah, you "countered" them with an argument of "it is not so bad since the majority of women are not raped" (paraphrased).
 
I see, you didn't use brutal, but when you did(!?!) it was sarcasm....which again points to the serious and forthright arguments being made by you. Got it.
The brutality of men generally. As opposed to specifically, as in your introduction of the rape card. You didn't think I was being sarcastic? I laid it on pretty thick, dude.

It is sad when a poster attempts to twist his way out of an argument. I never made the claim it was a literal war,
That ADHD again. This is the third time you've denied saying something:

You have come into this discussion with the premise that the "war" is just that, a physical, brutal violent action.

..you sarcastically..
Oh, so now I was being sarcastic? :lol:

..tried to frame the whole debate that is happening in the US on this issue as being overblown, trying to frame it as not being about restrictions on women's rights. It is about restrictions on rights and you have been doing nothing but avoiding the topic.
Not since my point from the beginning was that women aren't oppressed. Kinda speaks for itself really. And correct, I believe it's overblown. To a point of grossest distortion.

You have no purpose here other than to deny what is happening.
I don't believe it is happening. Or is your 'only purpose here' to deny the alternative?

No, they were your words :"do you think I'd like for women and their feminist handlers to have one more club to wield?"
You apparently believe "clubs" are being used currently against you and more on on their way.
See above comments about a 'literal war' (your interpretation, not mine).

Where did I mention that 'more is to come'?

Yeah, you "countered" them with an argument of "it is not so bad since the majority of women are not raped" (paraphrased).
I countered them with a demand for proof that all women are rape victims. And that all men are rapists. Or that at least most women have been raped.

By all means, keep denying having said things, and attributing to me comments I never made. I'll keep quoting you.
 
I'll fight you, Josie. Not that I really want to, but I could take you a few rounds if you're in the mood.

*prepares her sword* :p
 
Oh, sure, there's a war on women. fortunately, due to the war on men, the war on whites, the war on blacks, and all of the other hundreds of wars America is in, the war on women is so underfunded that women are as safe as everyone else in America.
 
Both of you must be Trolling each other, you can't either one of you actually be serious.
 
Holy necro-thread!
 
Hasn't there always been a war on women?
 
There are only 165,000 women in the US?

Man, have I been misinformed. :lol:
 
Both of you must be Trolling each other, you can't either one of you actually be serious.
No, surely not.

You must be a victim, right? After all, you were born female.
 
"War on Women" seems to be the popular buzz phrase lately. Do you believe there is a war against women in this country right now?

Only unborn women (and men). In a war there are casualties, and if anything is to be labeled a war I would say the roughly 50,000,000 humans legally killed would be the closest thing to a casualty count.
 
Tell that to the women who have been raped, abused and then have to work for less pay (non-union jobs )..
What we should do is :
1 repair the inequalities
2 protect them less
3 teach them how to kick in the most effective spots
What we should do with men is :
1 teach them to respect
2 teach them the difference between the truth and opinion
3 teach them how to discover knowledge
