TimG Posted January 7, 2015 Report Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) I honestly haven't read of anyone who would go on record to support these posts. Does anyone know of any?I don't know what they were but if they are bad as people say the writers should face disciplinary action (after due process). My point was the people who claimed to be harmed by facebook posts are as bad as the writers. I am really getting sick of the "cult of the victim" which is spreading like a bad disease. Mature adults don't have such thin skins. Edited January 7, 2015 by TimG Quote

TimG Posted January 7, 2015 Report Posted January 7, 2015 How can you possibly take a stand on this issue when you don't even know what was posted?I willing to assume, for the sake of argument, that the posts were as vile as described. But even given that they are just words. Claiming victimhood because of words written in what was assumed to be a semi-private forum is ridiculous. Quote

Claiming victimhood because of words written in what was assumed to be a semi-private forum is ridiculous. FB is not semi-private and if you believe that, you need to educate yourself on social media. They are violent threats towards women, not 'just' words. No one is claiming 'victimhood'. People are standing up to and asking for reprimand for these threats against women. It's pretty simple, once you can wrap your head around the concept that women and men are standing up to promote the safety of women.

TimG Posted January 7, 2015 Report Posted January 7, 2015 I bet your skin would get pretty thin if texts were whirling around that threatened your "manhood".Nope. Would not care. Quote
TimG Posted January 7, 2015 Report Posted January 7, 2015 People are standing up to and asking for reprimand for these threats against women.And I agree that some punishment is in order. The conduct was way beyond the pale. But media stories talk about women claiming to be victims. If these women are not making this claim and it is only media nonsense then my point does not apply.

Smallc Posted January 7, 2015 Report Posted January 7, 2015 Facebook group full of jokes about drugging and raping women. The Class of DDS 2015 Gentlemen group has been taken down, but screenshots obtained by CBC show its 13 members posted rape jokes next to pictures of women. Examples include, "Bang until stress is relieved or unconscious (girl)" and "Can you tell me what this chloroform smells like?" Big deal. Guys talk like that constantly. Quote

They are violent threats towards women, not 'just' words. It's clear you have no understanding of male social behaviour or the meaning of such statements. Quote
Smallc Posted January 7, 2015 Report Posted January 7, 2015 Nope. Would not care. Neither would I. This is more faux outrage caused by rampant political correctness. Quote
jacee Posted January 7, 2015 Report Posted January 7, 2015 Big deal. Guys talk like that constantly. Posted publicly next to photos of female classmates? It's a criminal matter. . Quote
Smallc Posted January 7, 2015 Report Posted January 7, 2015 They actually didn't threaten to do anything. it was a public display of common private fantasies. Quote
On Guard for Thee Posted January 7, 2015 Report Posted January 7, 2015 Neither would I. This is more faux outrage caused by rampant political correctness. So maybe get together and just dig one hole to hide your heads. Believe me, my outrage is not faux. (I assume you understand the word?) Being lied to by government causes outrage I don't care what stripe they wear. Apparently you boys allow such things? Quote

No one owes these people an understanding of male social behavior, though. Quote Looks like someone has a new patronizing catch phrase ! Michael Hardner
Michael Hardner Posted January 7, 2015 Report Posted January 7, 2015 I support the idea of a reconciliation process to bring the parties in this together, but the public will also need to know what happened here at some point. There aren't enough facts in the article for someone to say what should be done here, and I'm ok with that. Quote Looks like someone has a new patronizing catch phrase ! Michael Hardner

Mature adults don't have such thin skins. Exactly. Women, you see, are cherished china dolls, less capable than children, and just as sensitive. They must be wrapped in swaddling clothes and protected from rudeness and offensive behaviour lest they be forever traumatized by the slightest hint of (eek!) perverted male sexual interest! I really don't undersand how we are letting women be dentists at all since they're far, far too sensitive for such tasks, the poor dears. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-debate/dalhousies-dental-hysteria/article22310028/ Quote "A liberal is someone who claims to be open to all points of view — and then is surprised and offended to find there are other points of view.” William F Buckley

Why? This idea that male sexual fantasies are so scary that the whole world needs to analyze and sort through everything anyone ever says to judge the level of their guilt and shame is utterly nonsensical.

Argus Posted January 7, 2015 Report Posted January 7, 2015 Why do rednecks seem to be so god damned two faced? I bet your skin would get pretty thin if texts were whirling around that threatened your "manhood". No one was threatened. People are just whining, and not even the actual people involved, but mostly ugly old fat women.

I bet your skin would get pretty thin if texts were whirling around that threatened your "manhood". Why are you calling him a redneck? I mean, I've had arguments with him myself in the past, but nothing about him has struck me as being akin to a 'redneck'. Is that just an all-purpose pejorative term you fling at men who don't agree with your whiny political correctness? You don't think people can be educated and urban and still think your ideas are drivel?
