Quite sure it's not a matter of understanding.

It's a matter of violating the law and other people's privacy.

Rape is about power, control, dominating another person.

Very rarely is it about sex, or a lack of understanding.

If it were, I'd suggest some profound mental retardation in the rapist.

But the victim nor the bystander can be so fortunate.

So the slogan "no means no" seems to you to be targeted at victims?

Visit Portland sometime. We have some out here. Just don't get too close. I can't prove it, but I think it's catching.

If they didn't see women as objects to be dominated, then they would not seek to have sex with them when they are passed out, or drug them so they "consent". They have no appreciation for a woman's right to control her body. They see women as an object that exists for their pleasure.

I hate that they seem to operate outside of reality, never bother to check for any evidence that, in fact, no men or women ever wish to be penetrated. Indeed, if this were true, one wonders how our population became 7 billion.

I think that they lack empathy towards human beings, but that doesn't necessarily make them stupid... Though they may still be.

Besides, I don't equate stupidity with mental handicaps; stupidity can be avoided with proper education.

I think that they lack respect for both men and women.

Simply because they shove a paddle handle up a pledge's rectum doesn't make them homosexual. I've heard of homosexual men, frustrated with their own condition, disgusted with it, raping women and men to convince themselves that they are adequate enough, both in bed and as thinking beings.

To some respects yes. It implicitly tells victims that they need to act, by saying no. And that if they don't, they are somehow to blame. Passed out women, for instance, can't say no. Does that mean they consent? According to some men, yes.

What I would really like to see are campaigns targeted at men that are along the lines of;

"If she hasn't said yes, it's probably a no." A woman should not have to be treated as though she is in a default state of consent, which is only revoked by a negation.

What about the concept that training humans to avoid actions which could lead down bad paths with a probability of 95%? Is that victim blaming, to you?

Yeah, that's certainly a thing you could think if you had no idea what feminism was.

I'm sensing the no true Scotsman fallacy. As girlwriteswhat has said before, these kinds of feminists are no different than the radical imam or westboro church. They are indeed feminists, they are just extreme feminists.

Those posters are asinine, though. They were trolling for a response.

Successful troll is successful.
Venicilian: wow. Jesus hung around with everyone. boys, girls, rich, poor(mostly), sick, healthy, etc. in fact, i bet he even went up to gay people and tried to heal them so they would be straight.
The Parkus Empire: Being serious on NSG is like wearing a suit to a nude beach.
New Kereptica: Since power is changed energy over time, an increase in power would mean, in this case, an increase in energy. As energy is equivalent to mass and the density of the government is static, the volume of the government must increase.

I read an article from her once in a bio-ethics class where she argued that in vitro fertilization should be illegal because if it was made legal men would no longer need women, and so they would just find decent breeding stock and social relations as we know it would end.

Because, you know, no couple has ever existed where the man did not want kids, and no relationship has ever started without reproduction as the primary goal.

I think this is pretty much provably false.

A change in the way men are socialized will fix it.

Not only advertising and the way women are portrayed in the media, but how they are seen in general by the culture, though the former have a big impact.

I've known closely so many strong, exciting, beautiful women, but not everyone sees them that way. Sometimes, they are seen as bitches, whores, sluts, cunts, as though they deserved the names.

It's why I was quite insulted when I realized Stephanie Meyer was dead serious in her portrayal of Bella as "the perfect example of a teenage girl": dependent, quivering, soft, pale, like a fucking puppy or something.

I think it puts much more of an onus on the physically dominant person. Obviously in a committed relationship, it's a different ball game and up to the two partners, but in a date or drunken fumble or new coupling, I think it's wise to err on the side of caution. And to teach boys to do so. A woman should not have the responsibility of forcing a man off of her, and saying no. Suggesting that she does is to suggest that a woman who is asleep, who is passed out, who is mute, who is scared is consenting. Or at least, suggesting that the "rapist" is less culpable.

I don't have a problem with training men that taking home strange women too drunk to walk is potentially going to lead to a valid rape accusation in the morning. I think it's a great idea. I don't think it's a bad idea to teach men that a blow job does not mean she wants to have sex with you, and that not confirming whether she wants you to proceed before throwing her on a bed and having your way with her may turn him into a rapist. I don't have a problem with teaching men that continuing a sex act on a person who is passed out, even if they consented while awake is likely to lead to a valid rape accusation.
