Can religious poeple start using that kind of stunned logic. God/s exists because there was people who don't them in it/them.

(I'm spiritual, and do believe in gods, I just would never rely on such shit logic.)

Rape culture exists because rape doesn't mean rape anymore.

Good to know unicorns exist too then. Actually if I think about it, does this mean it will cease to exist once we acknowledge its existence? This logic is so dumb.

Fuck the original article and this one. You can't support claim to be an effective opponent of a moral panic against men, like "rape culture" narratives, while supporting a major part of that exact same moral panic:

In a culture the left claims is filled with rapists, the left led by the Obama Administration, wants to let the rapists have free reign in bathrooms across America.

Fuck these stupid cucks. Tbh I'm not super concerned one way or the other with the trans/bathroom issue and think it's the dumbest and most transparent distraction from real shit, in recent history. But the fact that both sides are using shaming of male sexuality in their arguments ("Ah won't have no men in dresses usin' the same bathroom as mah little babeh girl" vs "Ah don't want no trans men usin' the same bathroom as us wimminfolk!") presents a big opportunity for MRAs to actually be the most reasonable voice in the room, but they're dropping the ball as far as I can see. I've seen maybe one discussion here about how both sides are using anti-male rhetoric, versus thousands of comments and memes both from feminists and (even more disturbingly) from typically pro-male sources explicitly invoking the bugbear of testosterone-poisoned predators-in-waiting who need to be kept away from the fairer fucking sex.

As a gay man I cannot condone the type of thinking that says men are to be feared when we are in the restroom/lockerroom with members of our prefered sex. It is horrifying that this regressive, paranoid nonsense is going unquestioned by everybody.

My favorite nitwit argument along these lines is the one, "You're a rapist. And the fact that you deny being a rapist, proves that you're a rapist."

My favorite response: "Well in that case, you are not a human being, you're a horse. And the fact that you deny being a horse, proves that you're a horse."

Elephant hip-hop culture exists because we don't believe it does.

Seriously, keep writing this shit ideologues, it's terrific ammo.

Article referred to is from 2013, archive.

Absolutely shocked to see Jessica Valenti's name as a contributor to the article.
