Sure, her imaginary battles are sad stuff, but searching for some online content from an overwrought girl and posting her inane content up here to be laughed at is fairly f**king sad stuff too.

That goes for all echo chambers mind you. The neo Right wing are usually just as childish as the progressives.

Since then, these tribes and groups have settled into nations, relatively at peace with one another. However, this has constituted a shift in the psyche, where rather than collectives being at war with other collectives in gross terms, now every individual is at war with every other individual in a subtle sense. In this set-up, men regard casual sex unconsciously as being like "conquering" or dominating other men's potential wives and child bearers. Sex in the modern world has become highly dysfunctional. Narcissistic on the side of the male, and masochistic on the side of the female.

I see a lot of people saying most people don't believe that stuff but I disagree. I am in my early 40's and even I hear people mirroring her nonsense. My 50 year old brother played that fcuking 'Consent is like offer a cup of Tea' video to the family one year. Don't underestimate that effect that all this crap is having. That's why dopes like Blindboy are going on TV pontificating to men that they need more feminism in their lives. It's as fashionable as starbucks right now and he wants a slice. Girl Power has been replaced by Victimhood Power. They see themselves as some kind of resistance movement to the ever oppressing patriarchy. Basically Louise cries wolf for a living and she's coining it in as a result.

(never made the secret male stranger leaving gifts while passing through during the night = mother is having an affair, link myself. Crikey. I was so blind).

From an early age, I would, without question have seen the chimney as the birth canal, with a man, reborn every year, covered in red blood, as the ultimate reaffirmation of eternal male virility and dominance. And I think that his how everyone, at least from the age of about three, makes sense of the mysterious annual visitor, with 11 abortions in the intervening months, presumed. The arrival of this 'chosen one', prompting the feasting and celebrating, the next day.

I won't say anything more about her, tbh, because she doesn't sound well, at the moment. So I would just encourage her to look after herself, and in some ways, maybe easing back on social media might be a better choice. That's the last I'll say of her. As for Louise O'Neill, well, first of all, one of the things that struck me about her documentary, a word I use in the loosest terms I can use, is that some of the clips she used were from pornography aimed at women, actual arthouse porn, written by, directed by, and aimed at women. One such film was All about Anna, which had then unknown actress Eileen Daly (she also did Big Brother) in a porn role. That wasn't made for porn, it was 'art house' but yeah, still porn(Lars Von Trier's Pink manifesto). Ok, so no acknowledgement then that women view pornography? That its in equal measurements to men, so much so that many companies are now focusing a significant effort on making pornography for women (it's not ethics, it's money). She did mention Brock Turner, but doesn't mention the widespread revulsion many men, including VP Joe Biden, had when they read of the incident-and how Brock was treated in custody. Nor did she mention that the two guys who stumbled on this rapist, and stopped things getting (even) worse, were absolutely horrified and sickened by Turner's actions-one vomited and cried. Turner is a disgusting individual, nobody in their right mind (And his dad is not in his right mind-he sounds like another level of inhuman scum) would condone his behaviour. There were other elements of it I just cringed at-she hardly spoke to psychologists or specialists. When she did, she spoke over them-her hypotheticals were worth more than their knowledge-God. The only positives were when she allowed those who waived their right to anonymity to speak about their own rapes. I think she knew she would look bad if she spoke over them. She has a habit of 'dressing' fashionably, but even the promo photo for it looked dodgy-it's a courtroom, dress the part-no matter what, you turn up to court, you don't go in thigh high boots and a short skirt. She written articles about her dating habits before-one such article, that always stood out to me was her dating a 22 year old student. Now, don't get me wrong-I have no issue with age gaps between consenting adults, be they an older man dating an older woman, and older woman dating an older man, or an LGBT couple with an age gap between em-Stephen Fry and his husband, Sarah Paulson and her girlfriend. I've no issue with that. What irked me was she was so immature about the relationship-dismissive of him, of staying over in his place whilst he lived in student accomodation, his efforts to be tidy and so on not matching up, the kind of shenanigans students get up. Inclduing having to get a mattress for a friend. If you are dating someone who is either a student, a vet, or a doctor etc (to name a few jobs where your phone is on constantly because of night calls) one of the massive downsides is that despite their love for their partner, the job comes first, cos lives can be at risk (and in veterinary, so could livelihoods-its horrible to have to call a vet at 3 am, but it happens. I grew up on a farm, I remember it vividly, unfortunately. Most of the time one would have a positive result from the call, but there were the odd sad tragedies). With a student, their degree comes first, their studies come first-yes they may party, but at the end of the day, he has priorities that come first. May even have to study for exams. So her acting up and writing in the article, tbh, came off as completey immature. That relationship didn't last, I doubt too many of hers do, and then she was being all like 'I need an older man, 32 and up or whatever' (she was 30 at the time). Well, I doubt too many want to put up with her dramatics. Even the younger guy probably ended the relationship. And also, I know many 30 something year olds who don't have their lives together. God, I lived with one before who was messy as all hell-like, seemed to think that the dishwasher would clean dishes stacked on top of each other-and she was working as a teacher. But the intelligent ones know that-they don't blame it on someone else. She seems really immature tbh. I pity her, immensely.

It's the risk you take when you're publicly doing something hurtful like generalising derisively and sarcastically based on gender and skin colour, no matter how much you think you're in the right. I don't know the writer or hold any opinion on her, it's just that she touched on a hot topic that everyone on this thread is interested in. I'm sure she knows her views are controversial and has the courage of her convictions to accept dissenting views, but it can't be easy when she's feeling unwell. I think you made an excellent point about the two men who found Brock Turner attacking the victim. So little is said about those two men that I had forgotten all about them!
RabbleRouser2k wrote: » It was definitely made notice of in other media, even the Huffington Post spoke about it, with that site, and others, labelling them heroes. Rightfully so, I feel. Considering how little Turner cares for others, he may very well have ried to keep her quiet, permanently. So despite her horrible ordeal, I am grateful she survived. I am none too fond of Ian O'Doherty, but he has often called out folks who claim craziness-including extreme feminists. And other 'I've been hurt, hug me'. I may disagree with him, but I'm grateful he's there. Even if he got it so wrong regarding the comments he made about Gerry Ryan and his 'habit'. LON reminds me an awful lot of Laci Green, tbh. She's another 'fembot' prone to histrionics-her twitter feed in light of Trump winning was just bat crap lunacy.
Widdershins wrote: » I meant now, rather than immediately after the event. Not many people seem to mention the guys who found the poor woman. But then the people who talk about her ordeal are talking about it to make a point against men so why would they mention two male heroes? Is it good to be validating the dark side of someones mental illness, which, in my opinion, is what is behind the consistent damning of men. Is it actually healing and cathartic for them or are they perpetually picking an emotional scab, and encouraging other victims to do the same? That's what I wonder about LON. I was assaulted too, and while I do want people to feel safe to talk about difficult things, it makes me feel grim to listen to her or read what she thinks. It's bleak.
RabbleRouser2k wrote: » True, I agree there. It was a huge point of the show that she failed to include, and she should have-because it was pretty important. I genuinely don't know-but from my own experience, maybe. Like, she was 'told' by a psychologist that a sexual experience was 'non-consensual' which is such grey language, really, so it's so annoying to hear it. Say rape, say sexual assault, but saying that is literally just using language that won't get her sued. Similar to how Amy Schumer used it. (And she's another fembot who's really lost her mind). Like-it's like the vindictive mean girls you know in school, with their accusations. It's so immature. Their protestations of strength and so on-sounds like they're weak, tbh. It's like ppl who say 'I don't give a toss' when they do, they care enormously. I'm very sorry to hear that Widdershins. I have spoken to men and women who were raped or sexually assaulted (one was abused by her father, another was abused in industrial schools). And it sickens me to hear about it, but the strength of some of those I have met-the one's who say 'it wasn't my fault, i've no reason to carry any blame' are the one's who show real strength. They know a rapist is a sicko, so no, it is not their fault. Her depiction and discussion is sheer misery, and nothing more.
