Lol uh, that ship has sailed. The "do words matter" ship. When we've had people b*tch at others for using the wrong pronoun, yep, words matter. You don't get to cherry pick when they do. Feminists think they do get to do that, it's why less and less women identify as feminists.

I never said that. What I'm saying is people who preach rape culture deserve to be called out.
This isn't hard. There is no rape culture. Period. This does not mean we should not try to tackle serious issues in this country. It merely means we call bullshit when people try to over inflate the issue for ANY reason.
AIDs is bad. It's serious. Someone who says 80% of people will contract Aids in their lifetime needs to be called out. Doing so doesn't mean you don't give a shit about Aids.

I'm open to any suggestions that don't involve spewing utter diarrhea out of ones mouth.
Why can't it be discussed without amping it up to over 9000? Ill fight the issue with you as long as bullshit isn't peddled. Unless you're saying it can't be fought without resorting to lies.

If it happened more than once, yes. That's harassment. And women get it constantly all day, it just happens to be multiple men doing it, not one specific person.
So even a woman needs multiple instances of it before it's harassment? Interesting.
Like how many? Give me a number.

Dude Obama spewed this bullshit. Nobody said a god damn thing. CNN, MSNBC, nobody scurried off to fact check it. Trump lies about crowd size and they flip out.
Originally posted by SurturIt depends on the situation and context, as does anything. If a woman had one guy say "You're hot" randomly it's just creepy. If loads of men do it every day, she's being harassed. If a guy says "Get your **** out", that's harassment. Context is key here.

he knows his own strategy, you're aware of that, he knows that you're aware of it. you know that he knows you're aware of it. and he knows that you know that he knows...well point is it appears you are determined to find water in a stone.
