Yes, because that's what the quote was referring to. Absolute lunacy from you yet again. You are coming across as an actual parody. That's why nobody is taking you seriously. You're constantly on at people here to speak with their sisters, mothers, friends etc and see how they get on. I've seen my sister and friends taking these meatheads down (don't really go on the sesh with my mam!). Plenty of the women I know are well capable of telling bozos to hit the road. They're not little flowers. Funnily enough, if they feel threatened it's usually other men who they'll seek help from ie guys in their party or door staff. But yeah, men=scum women=victims.

I also find it funny that in the cases of some of the higher profile males that were responsible for allot of the transgressions around the metoo time was that they clothed themselves in public as white nights/being very progressive.

Why didn't you report it to the police? You're only someone on the internet, why should we believe you? Go to court to prove your story.

Could we not say that about the #metoo who only post on the internet and don't go to the police and prove there story

You're the absolute parody! It's rapists = scum. Stop getting offended on their behalf!
If only you were in charge, rape figures would drop overnight. Just stand up to the meatheads girls, tell them to piss off.

Fairly certain he wasn't referring to rapists with that particular comment.. does that really need to be highlighted to you?

Honestly wondering if DONTMATTER differentiates.

It's the same scenario with gropers for example.

Right well in my experience it’s a lot more than 1% who keep going.

Case in point.

Well that's your advice. How about we get these men to behave themselves instead of women having to tell them to piss off?

I don’t know if this has been talked about already here but I’ve only just. come across it and am interested in my fellow boardsies think.

Actor Henry Cavill has been forced to apologize for comments related to the MeToo movement. I’m writing this on my phone so can’t link anything just now bit basically he said he’s afraid to approach women for fear of being accused of something he didn’t do which didn’t go down well with feminazi brigade and metooers.

Personally I think he’s got a point and I don’t like the way the metoo movement is determined to deny men their voices and twist everything they say.

I think he has perfectly legitimate concerns and he’s likely not the only one. Metoo was a good thing in the beginning but now it’s a witch hunt and I can understand completely the fears men have as a result.

Afterhours thoughts?

He was perfectly correct and he now has learned that to even talk about it is enough to get one in trouble.

The new puritanical priests are

Yeah that’s fine. Of course it depends on what his approach is like and if he backs off fairly quickly if the woman is not receptive.

100% agree. Doesn't really get any more straight forward than this in fact.

I know some people don't like hearing this, and may think it's an attempt at downplaying the issue, but certain men do get away with a lot more than others.

As do women. I've seen women who go out, flirt with men she doesn't know, touching them, being provocative, and then laughing with her friends as she turns him down. We've all seen women acting out either in overly aggressive manners, or playing friends against each other as they try to "win" her attention. Just as we've seen women who physically assault men based on the assumption that a man won't hit her back.

In the case of women doing these things, it's assumed (and accepted) that it's a minority. When men act out in a negative manner, we men say it's a minority, but we're told it's not. There is a crapton of double standards in our society regarding how the two (main) genders behave socially.

I know that this wasn't what you were suggesting, but reading your post got me thinking of it.

Quite the contrary and the irony is startling. I, a man, have said let's get everyone to do this hypothetical class. You, I assume a woman, have the phrase ''most men'' in nearly all your vitriolic posts. You seek to demonise, to pigeonhole. You probably think of yourself as a feminist or equalitarian but you're quite the opposite from I've seen of you on this thread. It's the likes of you that actively turn people away from anyone identifying themselves as a femisnist in modern times.

What are you on about? I haven't said most men! Maybe you're getting confused with saying most rapists are men, this is fact. I've said time after time that men should be getting on board the metoo movement instead of getting offended on behalf of scumbags.

It is a fact that most men are rapists? Or it is a fact that certain feminists claim most men are rapists?

Which is it? Are you saying most men are rapists? I'm confused.

Ah, the ''NO, YOU ARE!'' response. Excellent. Good work. Well done.

Listen, everyone fcuking abhors rapists. Everyone. That's why the scumbags are seen as the lowest of the low. Even in the criminal world. They're worse than rats and murderers in prison. That's why they need their own individual jails. You're barking up the wrong tree if you think I'm getting offended on behalf of sex offenders. I really think you know you're losing a debate though and making a show of yourself so you're just resorting to low and shocking tactics. Sad.

There's a difference between most men are rapists and most rapists are men. Learn it.

Read, it's right there. Most rapists are men. As I said, that's different than most men are rapists.

Well the only people I'm attacking is rapists and sexual deviants and you seem to be getting very upset about it. Why is this?

Yeah and what about if you're in a nightclub and you're groped from behind and he does a runner. Oh yeah, tell him to piss off and he won't do it again.

I was showing that poster the exact same response the metoo claims have got on this thread. Told they should go to the police, why should we believe them etc. You just didn't get it.
