| 13 | A bit of a lighthearted post for a changeWell duh. I certainly wasn't suggesting these are good laws. These kind of laws would make no kind of sense outside their original context, where the entire village consisted of people who knew each other, and you could hear someone shouting at one end of town from the other end of town. | /r/MensRights | 06/06/17 12:57 AM |
| 46 | A bit of a lighthearted post for a changeIt's being downvoted because he's advocating stoning women who are raped. I'm not advocating anything, you psychopath. I'm explaining the reasoning of the laws. They didn't stone people for being raped, they stoned them committing adultery -- WHICH I DO NOT APPROVE OF* -- and the screaming rules are how they got around the problem that women who got caught committing adultery would just cry rape. None of that explanation is meant to suggest that I approve of these rules or think they are sensibl… | /r/MensRights | 06/06/17 12:55 AM |
| 7 | A bit of a lighthearted post for a changeYeah, but not good alcohol. It would take dedicated effort to get black out drunk on the alcohol back then. They didn't have distilled spirits, and the beer and wine would have been very heavy and dense, with a low alcohol content. I know that Egyptian beer of the same time period is often described as "liquid bread," to give you an idea of how thick and filling beer was back then. A woman back then who had any interest in protecting her reputation wouldn't get drunk in the presence of a strange… | /r/MensRights | 06/06/17 12:46 AM |
| 21 | A bit of a lighthearted post for a changeI'm pretty sure they didn't have date rape drugs in the Bronze age. Might be wrong about that, but you'd think that if they had drugs to render people unconscious, then they would have used them when treating injured people and those in pain. | /r/MensRights | 06/06/17 12:23 AM |
| 61 | A bit of a lighthearted post for a changeAre you suggesting that a bunch of Bronze age priests were not entirely rational? How dare you! | /r/MensRights | 06/06/17 12:20 AM |
| 126 | A bit of a lighthearted post for a changeIf she screams versus doesn't scream and where it happens can make it the woman's fault. This is based on the assumption that if she doesn't scream for help, then she must have consented, therefore it's not rape. This actually makes sense, kind of. If adultery is punishable by death, and "I was raped" is a defense against the charge of adultery, then any woman caught engaging in adultery would simply claim she was raped. I mean if the choice is lie about being raped or die, then practically ever… | /r/MensRights | 05/06/17 11:29 PM |
| 33 | A bit of a lighthearted post for a changeEvery society in human history has considered rape to be a crime. This isn't even remotely true, or is only true in a very limited sense. For most of European history, rape was a crime against public decency, not a crime against a person, and was treated more like vandalism -- which meant that you could only get in trouble for raping women who were married (i.e. another man's property) or virgins (i.e. unsullied). For most of human history you couldn't rape a prostitute for example. At worst you… | /r/MensRights | 05/06/17 11:23 PM |
