Do men need a license to be allowed socialise (MOD NOTE IN OP)

Time for some bible. The book is full of rape, incest, murder, rape rape and a bit more incest/rape for good measure. Some of the most notable biblical heroes would be considered questionable characters and most definitely guilty of rape. Abraham was married to his sister. (half sister) Noah got drunk and when his son accidentally saw him naked while trying to cover him up, he curses and disowns him. (seeing him naked may also refer to sleeping with his wife)

Lot, the honorable escapee of Sodom and Gomorrah, went and hid in caves with his two daughters who apparently wanted to have his children so got him drunk and raped him, twice! This was after their father had tried to sell them to some random men in order to barter for a better outcome for himself. Absalom, O Absalom. Yeah he was David's son and he killed his half brother for raping his sister. David was like, meh.

David, King David, took Bethsheba (she was bathing on a roof) and decided to have her husband murdered so he could keep her. Solomon had about 700 wives and maybe 300 concubines.

Rahab was a prostitute, triply marginalized, being a Canaanite, a woman and a prostitute yet she saved the Israelites after hiding the spies sent to "lodge"/have sex with her.

Judith saved Israel by having sex with Holofernes and then cutting his head off. (Deuterocanonical book) Some of my personal favourite stories are the stories removed from the protestant bible (deuterocanonical books) where women actively play important roles but most specifically the narrative of Susanna and the Elders. Susanna was falsely accused by two Elders who had been perving on her. After refusing their demands for sex, they accused her of being an adulterer and had her arrested to be put to death but Daniel intervened and called them out on their bullsh/tting, proved they were lying and had them put to death instead.

There's just a lot of stories like these in the bible, it's like Gamor of Thrones on steroids. I highly recommend reading it because if nothing else it demonstrates that humanity has always been broken and that all these things are not new. But it might give you an insight on how humanity has dealt with its brokenness and an opportunity to heal those parts of ourselves.

I can tell you are an educated man of taste.

Maybe teaching them to read would be a good first step.

What good is anything based on your scenario?

I'm always amazed at the logic that people seek to throw out to justify their positions. There is no defense in such a situation.. and that psychopathic murderer wouldn't have been stopped by a license, or any range of laws in effect. Nor would he/she be bothered with early learning programs to teach him to respect women.

So... what's the point of your example? What does it achieve to use such an example when there is no way to prevent it...

Oh, I know the point... present unwinnable scenarios so that emotion is picked over rational thinking. Stoke the fear so that people respond to emotional triggers, and accept idiotic solutions that lead them into worse situations.

The problem with modern feminism is that it's begun to seek to place women above men, so that equality is no longer desired. Men are the enemy, and they need to be hobbled. As such, discrimination, stereotyping, the reinforcement of gender roles, etc are all brought in to play to categorize men. To take everything that feminism once sought to fight against, and instead, apply it to marginalizing men in society. That way the positions of women in society are assured and everything done to establish that position is justified. Facts will only matter once they have won, and decided what information is relevant.

The sad thing is that we would naturally dismiss such as being extremist and impractical... but over the years, most things coming from the media, or the social sciences (and by extension, psychology/sociology/HRM) seek to encourage exaggeration and the embrace of double standards, whether that's through the support of ideas like positive discrimination, or simply deciding that we need quotas to ensure a base minimum of women in industries (but no comment when there are more women than men)

It's ok, you just needed a hug.

Nope. Not really. A return to the regular bashing that went on beforehand. Not quite as in your face but still there nonetheless.
