If I "push" a sexual psychopath past his immature snap point it's nobody's fault but his.


So if I punch a guy, and he 'snaps', and beats me up, who's fault is it? Mine, duh!

Both actually.
Yours for not having the restraint to not punch him, and his for not having the restraint to not punch you.

I didn't "punch" a sexual psychopath by choosing the "wrong" clothes to wear.

No, no it isn't. That doesn't really work for any situation.

I interact with a lot of people I'd like to punch right in the jaw on a regular basis but I don't, and if I do it's nobodies fault except mine. Likewise, if I see a sexy lady wearing sexy things it's only my fault if I force myself on her. This isn't rocket science.

Yours for not having the restraint to not punch him, and his for not having the restraint to not punch you.


But you say it's not the woman's fault at all if she pushes a man past his snap point?

A sexual psychopath has effectively no snap point because they aren't empathic in the same way we are.

Sort of true. Point is, both of us made a stupid move, made someone snap, and so we all are at fault, right?

Not quite. It's not the making someone snap that makes you at fault, but the snapping.

Right, in a way. I wouldn't condone them punching you, that's for sure. That's on them.

Wow. What if I called YOU a n*****? You would get upset, right? And who would likely get a forum ban? ME, of course!

Probably not, being white.

I understand that. If I try to start a fight IRL, though, you are saying its not my fault? Logic, Please!

It would be your fault, cause you snapped first and started a fight. Self defense adds some muddy water in there mind.

This is more than a bit off topic, come to think of it.

No, but she is pushing men slightly, if the wrong one is around, past his limits.

If there's a sexual psychopath around then it's obviously not her bloody fault if she gets attacked because she will get attacked regardless whether or not she's in a burka or bikini.

And what? The premise is that if the woman is "at fault" then she shouldn't be allowed to get an abortion?
