| 1 | /r/AskReddit thread about make rape victims sharing their experiences. Very disheartening to see the number of victims who were told "men can't be raped."You're still talking about this totally impractical omnipotent free will. By the logic you're employing, any outside constriction is an immediate halting of your ability to choose. You started with "subjectively you have free will". As if that is somehow not the kind of free will we should be trying to define? Your existence as a conscious organism is subjective to begin with, expecting the free will to not exist in some inherent starting box is ridiculous. I don't get to choose my plinko board,… | /r/MensRights | 22/04/17 05:08 PM |
| 1 | /r/AskReddit thread about make rape victims sharing their experiences. Very disheartening to see the number of victims who were told "men can't be raped."How we're raised determines what we believe* Thinking is an ability that you have where you can take data and process its meaning. Through that process, you can actively change your beliefs. I'll keep reiterating it's not easy, and all of that initial conditioning is real. But the presence of external influence does not trump the existence of free will. That's not a logical conclusion to draw. There are a million blinding examples of humans exerting free will. Within some Amish and Mennonite com… | /r/MensRights | 22/04/17 03:26 AM |
| 1 | /r/AskReddit thread about make rape victims sharing their experiences. Very disheartening to see the number of victims who were told "men can't be raped."I acknowledged that we do it, and that you cant stop that outside influence from being ever present. That will never change the fact that you have the ability to think about things and draw conclusions. We live in a world where, for the most part, people have access to a wealth of opinions and knowledge outside of whatever sphere they've grown up in. I noted in my original post that so long as you know another option exists, you have the power to choose it. Will you? Probably not, because we lik… | /r/MensRights | 22/04/17 02:45 AM |
| 1 | /r/AskReddit thread about make rape victims sharing their experiences. Very disheartening to see the number of victims who were told "men can't be raped."Someone being brain washed and thus contesting free will is like me cutting off someones legs and contesting the notion humans can walk upright. I don't think the conversation of free will revolves around whether it exists in such extreme situations. You say "Women don't believe they can be perps". I know plenty of women who understand that both men and women, as we're all human, have the capability to make bad decisions and take poor actions against others. I also know women who do think they c… | /r/MensRights | 21/04/17 11:14 PM |
| 1 | /r/AskReddit thread about make rape victims sharing their experiences. Very disheartening to see the number of victims who were told "men can't be raped."I believe we have free will in that you always have the ability to make a decision despite your current state of conditioning. I will note this assumes you know that another option exists, but I think that goes without saying. I personally do agree that we don't have "fully" free will due to this experience based conditioning you speak of, but at the end of the day you do still have power to act against that existing foundation. If it weren't possible, people wouldn't ever be able to accomplish … | /r/MensRights | 21/04/17 09:09 PM |
