Is there tons of raping going on or am I missing something? You'd think it was the Rape of Nanking going on around here. Anyways fuck this earnest SOB and his rape hysteria apology list.

suggestions to send to your friend:

Be a REAL humanist:

Respect all human beings, regardless of gender.

Know that "no" means "no"

Do not contribute to other people's intoxication.

Do not place other people in harm's way.

Refuse to dehumanize yourself or anyone else on basis of race, gender, sexuality, or any other reason.

Be that way even when you're alone, when no one is watching.

In my experience, the harder someone preaches about respecting women, the less they are likely to actually respect the woman as a functioning adult. "Respecting" them always comes down to infantilizing them in some way.

Standard White Knighting from a shallow thinker trying to win women's approval.

Combined with "real man" gender-shaming.

And really, he is setting the bar pretty fucking low:
1) Doesn't rape, and
2) Doesn't roofie

That, and his willingness to "protect" women are his main selling points.

Sad.

He respects Casey Anthony. What a champ!

Interesting: the sign says "I know when no means no" which would imply that it doesn't always mean no.

Hey, I don't roofie either... real manhood here I come!

'Real' men like this keep feminism alive.

OccasionallyWitty · 2012-05-12T12:37:31+00:00

Respecting all women is an awesome idea. 'Women' fall under the category of 'everyone', and therefore deserve to be respected.

Ok, I'm making a similar sign, crossing the gendered words out and putting gender neutral words in their place. If I get any interesting responses I will update with a post/link/pic.

I don't understand why it's assumed that anyone who supports the rights of women is a "white knight" who is "only doing it for the pussy." Seems like a very immature and cynical way to look at it. I have a mom, a sister, many female friends and of course the women I date, and I support them and want them treated well. And because I state that openly I'm just "doing it for the pussy?" Seriously, grow up.

MRMRising · 2012-05-11T22:22:27+00:00

I would tell your friend I am not responsible for woman's safety. I choose what to do with my body.

P.S. Is there even any evidence Roofies exist, or is just more rape hysteria?

IHaveALargePenis · 2012-05-12T06:17:59+00:00

Next he'll tell me not to hit women or treat them like real people. Ridiculous I say, absolutely RIDICULOUS!

superchibisan2 · 2012-05-12T00:18:52+00:00

Yes, respect women for some innate unknown reason. It pays off. A LOT.

db1000c · 2012-05-12T00:12:05+00:00

i believe in stewardship between humans and animals, that is to say the strong humans should protect the weak and defenceless animals. I believe this carries inwardly through to humanity, and so a man (men being naturally stronger) should use this to protect others, whether it be a woman or a small child. Standing up for a woman, or "stopping her from getting in harms way" isn't being a mangina, its just being a considerate human.

tl;dr its innate but its natural and doesn't mean its emasculating
