1	Woman who cried rape after getting cold shoulder in Belfast nightclub is jailed for nine months The irony in your comment is of the sort described in the second definition in the source you linked to: a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often amusing as a result. The issue isn't with calling someone a liar. Liars should be called out. The issue is with using deliberately provocative language. Again, I'm just trying to help you out, not silence you. What I am saying is that if you tone down the language fewer people will think you are i…	/r/MensRights	19/08/16 08:11 PM
1	Woman who cried rape after getting cold shoulder in Belfast nightclub is jailed for nine months It's ironic that you would respond to my advice about not using labels (especially offensive ones) with another label ("Tone Policing"). I'm not sure how you don't see that. I guess that's part of the broader problem. Listen, I understand that generally men's rights advocates (or any advocates) want to make an impact with easily digestible messages that tap into emotions. All I'm saying that when you use say "cry rape" you are tapping into negative emotions for many, many people. you are offendi…	/r/MensRights	19/08/16 06:51 PM
1	Woman who cried rape after getting cold shoulder in Belfast nightclub is jailed for nine months The problem that I addressed has to do with the use of labels, and how using them can make you sound like an asshole/be misinterpreted, and ultimately dilute your message. You respond by labeling those comments "tone policing". Do you see the irony? To your point, making false accusations is already a serious crime. You don't need to create a label to communicate its seriousness. In this case I would point out that a person made false rape accusations, and then try to focus on how people are neg…	/r/MensRights	19/08/16 06:06 PM
-2	Woman who cried rape after getting cold shoulder in Belfast nightclub is jailed for nine months I already explained how saying someone "cries rape" is offensive. Do you have a reading comprehension problem?	/r/MensRights	19/08/16 04:28 PM
-1	Woman who cried rape after getting cold shoulder in Belfast nightclub is jailed for nine months I'm glad you recognize yourself that the term is derisive. Even if you don't intend it to be offensive for rape victims, surely it isn't too difficult to see how it is taken that way? I'm just saying if you want to get the message across that false accusations are bad, it might be better to use less aggressive language. Using that term makes you sound like an asshole. People hear you say that and think, "oh he's one of those men's rights assholes", and disregard everything else you say, even if …	/r/MensRights	19/08/16 04:23 PM

-14	Woman who cried rape after getting cold shoulder in Belfast nightclub is jailed for nine months Ok so I get that in this case there was a false accusation of rape, and I agree that the person involved should be punished for making that claim, but do we have to refer to that false accusation as "crying rape"? Everything about that term is offensive. It belittles anyone who was actually raped and wants to come forward, and actually discourages them from doing so. Gross.	/r/MensRights	19/08/16 02:20 PM

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
