:
Yeah, the biological argument for gender roles gets less credible every month. African-American people are generally bigger than people of Asian descent - doesn't justify a bunch of Asians beating up a black guy. If someone is being abused, they are the victim and they deserve help. And that's that.
but the shit i was babbling on about with heights/weights/muscle-mass etc is true. male (humans) tend to be heavier animals. obviously you'll have exceptions, but the majority will show that. it's just common sense. don't swing your arms around.

i'm not advocating abuse, i'm saying "if you are physically bigger than someone, you should probably be more careful" which is common sense. like i've been saying. common sense. civility. so why am i being given the fucking third degree with an Asian/African-American argument? i wasn't saying that at all.

:
The bottom line is that highlighting the hypocrises present in progressive society (in theory) makes that society stronger for everyone. Awareness is not a zero-sum game; the 40% deserve a fair shout, because it makes it a lot easier for them to stand in solidarity with the 60%.

I mean, imagine if the man in the street took male rape victims seriously. Yeah, they're a minority, but they've got privelige. Rape convictions would skyrocket if people believed this was something that happened to handsome white men, and not just drunken women looking for trouble.
i wasn't saying the 40% shouldn't have their voices heard, i'm all for that. i was just pointing out that they're a minority (although a hefty chunk) and that could be due, in part, to all the shit i was talking about from the biological point of view. and no, i'm not taking an archaic WE ARE BUILT AS MEN AND ACT AS SUCH, WOMEN IN KITCHEN MAKE SANDWICHES DO DISHES

fuck that. i'm just trying to be a realist. if you are physically bigger than another organism, and you're not a nice person, you will bully and take and do whatever the fuck you like with that organism because who's going to stop you? and believe me, it's shit just like that that causes a lot of domestic disputes between partners, and yeah, they almost always end up being a woman under threat of violence from their 'loving' male partner.

honestly, there's almost an 'underground' element to it where people seem to grow up surrounded by terrible, violent parents and parenting so that it becomes the norm and women are treated like second class citizens, so when they find a partner they'll do exactly the fucking same. like animals. and yes, this is in England. it goes on absolutely everywhere, and it needs to be stamped out, and the biggest perpetrator seems to be the males. the stats show it. that's allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll i was saying motherfucker.

you're more paranoid than me. seriously. the entirety of this reply is just basically saying "i didn't say/mean that".

Because you seemed to interpret me mentioning an issue as me wanting it to preclude other issues - which is dangerously widespread assumption in itself.

Like I said: Awareness is not a zero-sum game.

:

i'm saying "if you are physically bigger than someone, you should probably be more careful"
And the point I'm trying to make is that physical stats should have fuck-all to do with it. Forget "don't beat up people smaller than you", what's wrong with "don't beat people up"?

yeah right okay i was saying it's fine to beat the shit out of someone so long as you're not bigger than them. that's, like, so obviously exactly what i was saying. fucking whatever.

This is a problem that this forum has in spades. Basically, if you don't accept one aspect of a problem as the only aspect of a problem, you get labeled as a right wing nutjob. And let's be honest, there is little in my life that could be looked at, and called right wing. If you deny any aspect of the truth of a situation because it isn't the truth that you want to discuss then you are merely polarizing the sides of the argument, and nothing will ever get done. And that's fucking stupid.

Remember, folks: Ideas are like diseases. The stronger they are, the more they spread. And the only way to make them stronger is by relentlessly picking at them until they're forced to adapt.

In other words, I make a point of disagreeing with aspects of things I mainly agree with.

Except that I never actually offered an opinion on it. I offered an opinion on your hyperbole, and put out there that there are actually points to be made on the other side of it. I said from the beginning that what they were doing is wrong. But denying the validity of all of their points just on the principle that you hate them, and that the solution they came up with doesn't work, or actually speak to all the problems, does no one any good. It was you that decided that my opinion was right wing jibberish, and yes, my opinion was colored by the way things work here, assuming that the British unemployment problem couldn't be too dissimilar to the Detroit area's problem. Which may have been a mistake on my part.
