Enjoy being drug fucked when you start sharing needles you may actually be at risk for hiv and your cave jew rituals aren't gonna save you.

Because that is the only place the hiv (the disease that is so important we must circumcise for) evidence is coming from. People die from botched circumcisions in the west also. Glad you love cutting children so much.

If you really think straight men are the ones at risk for hiv (outside of Africa) I worry for you. If you are really worried about boys catching hpv you should get them vaccinated not mutilated.

I like Gillard and really don't like Jones but the exact same people complaining about the name calling are the ones who would make jokes about Howard's eyebrows, baldness and said he sucked bushes dick. They call Abbott a monkey or mad monk and make fun of his speedos, they call Hockey a fat cunt plus the 10000 or so jokes about Downer. Are they gender based not really but just as rude. It is also curious to me where you draw the line. Making fun of a woman's body or hair is sexist? Yet making …

I am sure many specific events have more specific reasons for their existence. It is probably a reasonable response say on a campus that had a high number of sexual assaults reported or in an area where prominent figures issued victim blaming statements.

"The gender debate is one of the enduring controversies in domestic violence research.

I think one of the worst things feminist have done is convince (many of) the public that rape is a crime that is not taken seriously by police, the courts etc and that most rapists are not found guilty. There may be some bit of truth mainly because it is a very difficult crime to prove beyond reasonable doubt but it is a harmful concept that protects rapists and harms victims far more than most of the supposed 'rape culture'.

"Feminist theory on sexual violence has, by and large, excluded the possibility of sexual violence occurring within same-sex relationships (and particularly lesbian relationships, which have at times been depicted as a kind of "utopia" for women; Duke & Davidson, 2009; Girshick, 2002; Hotten, 2009) by almost exclusively focusing on or conceptualising sexual violence as something done by men to women (Girshick, 2002).

I agree that this reaction to depression/issues is idiotic. On the other hand believing you have no ability to change yourself reduces your ability to change yourself.

I don't think it is particularly ethical to abandon your child. At the same time I think conception through deceit is abhorrent. I think it is a better idea to take away the financial incentive of unfair child support and ensure both parents play an active role by making shared custody the default assumption of the court. Anyway I think the whole concept is needlessly contentious and too abstract.

And for that I consider you an ally. Many feminists argue for mothers at the expense of fathers. Parenting should not be a battle each parent should play a part.

I believe the attitude that rape is the worst thing that can happen to somebody and forever damaging is incredibly harmful. Of course rape itself is awful but this attitude and treatment does not help those who have been raped nor prevent future rapes.

Most anti-rape campaigns frame the issue in a way that d…

Needle exchange, education and condoms are the way to go. The only evidence for circumcision is that it may reduce for ftm transmission, not mtm and probably not mtf.
