Have you cold approached a girl?

1 in 4 women being sexually abused doesn't mean 1 in 4 men are abusers, but as a species who thrives partially due to our ability to recognize patterns, it makes a tonne of sense why many women are afraid of men. It's not like rapists let everyone know ahead of time who they are.

No? My point is that regardless of whether it's 1 in 1000 or 1 in 10 or 1 in 4, reference to statistics does not justify the perpetuation of a negative stereotype about a group of people based on an immutable characteristic they share that has nothing to do with the basis of your concern.

In other words, exactly what I said, rather than the #######ized interpretation of what I said you chose to adopt.

Sorry, but women are not defensive because of stats that we read on the internet. We are defensive because we've EXPERIENCED some form of unwanted sexual harassment, touching or assault at some point in our lives. Ass slapped on transit? Or out at a bar? Check. Drugs slipped into your drink? Check. Inappropriate touching by a teacher, coach or someone in a position of authority? Check. Men in the workplace making lewd, inappropriate or derogatory comments? Check.

Now take this and apply it to personal experiences relating to some other group of people. I.e., "I've personally experienced an overbearing gay guy coming on to me at a bar and touching me inappropriately, and therefore I have a distrust of gay guys based on my experience that is wholly justified!"

Again, if someone were to apply this to any other group, we would all join in chorus in saying to that person "#### you". I don't know how people can be so tone deaf about this.

Twisting the meaning of posts is a specialty for some of the posters on CP.

Well that got out of hand quickly.

It is your choice to post here. If you don't like it - you don't have to.
You are on VERY thin ice here based on your posts in this thread. You probably should step out of it altogether.

Yes, I came in way to hot with zero context as to the discrimination discussion I was in previously in, which I wrongly brought into CP, and I explained that and left. Anyway, thanks for the courtesy notification.

Boy that escalated slowly but surely.

The song that got me thinking about it yesterday was Miranda Lambert's "Gunpowder And Lead"... which reading the lyrics now, is about killing her abuser as well.

Ok... nothing to see here.

Just to add to this, aren't like 90% of eminem's songs revenge fantasies against women? Hasn't really hurt his bottom line.

Lets get this thread back on track!

Women want me all the time. I can't seem to fend them off anymore. I'm actually getting sexed as I type this.

This can change view how some people see domestic violence

If this approach isn't working, try warm approaching a cold girl. Women love hot chocolate and blankets in the middle of winter.

Now, feel free to pile on me for that blanket statement.

Wow.. I'm still out and on my phone so I can't really give the kind of response I'd like, might be able to tonight.

Just this afternoon I saw four men drive by a woman yelling how they wanted to "eat her ####". How often does crap like that happen daily? If any of those guys read this board, they should be ashamed of themselves.
