Would it be fair to say you get pathologically offended and lose your ability to reason when your ideas are rejected?

Would it be fair to say you get pathologically offended and lose your ability to reason when your ideas are rejected?
Would it be fair to say that you had no ability to reason to begin with?

It would be outrageously inaccurate, but why stop now when you're on such a roll.
And what would that be? I've only heard your opinion of the women who don't "take precautions," which is that they're "stupid."
(I still don't know what those "precautions" are supposed to be, though. Maybe you could also clarify that?)
I think you mean accurate, not inaccurate. There's a difference between the two. Or you going to dispute that as well? Wouldn't surprise me...
Not really, that is only one of my opinions. There is another one that you disputed with no evidence for...you know...when I said that I have no idea whether there might a male rapist in the world who's motivation is his sexual urge...? You disputed that claim with no evidence. You either agree with me, or you disagree with some substance...this isn't a school playground where saying something, ipso facto means it's correct

That is an absolutely terrible comeback.

Well, it does seem that you think I have to agree with you and concede a straw man that I didn't claim in the first place.
Whatever floats your boat, I guess.
No need for the strawman. You don't have to agree. What you do have to do though, is provide evidence, unless you're blindly rejecting my viewpoint...?

I agree with your opinion that you honestly have no idea why some men rape women.
I disagree with your opinion that female rape victims are stupid for not taking precautions, with the disclaimer that the original precaution we were discussing is wearing a shapeless sack to conceal your entire person in public.
Since rape is about violence and domination rather than sexual arousal, a sack will not help you. The only precaution that will help you is to look less weak than the woman beside you.
Evidence for my opinionthat sexual desire is often not the primary motivator for rape? Okay. Here you go again (hopefully my effort to repost this doesn't go to waste again):
ROFLMAO!!! :biglaugh:
I gotz skillz. You will learn somedayz young grasshopperz. :yes:
I would like to add to this. The idea that a rapist is a stranger is not true. To my understanding, its often someone the victim knows and trusts. Its hard to take precaution in that case, especially if its someone you regard as family.

Yes, that seems to be true. I think between pedophiles and domination sex offenders, as opposed to anger motivated rapists, the victims are likely to be well known to the perpetrator, and those categories together make up the bulk of offenses according to the research that has been presented in this thread.
The hate motivated and sadistic rapists are a different story, but thankfully much less common.

As the saying goes, feminism is the radical idea that women are human beings.
You don't need to be a woman to believe in equality. I am male, and I feminist because I believe in absolute equality between all human beings in this modern world of ours.

'can not control' is not equal to 'do not control'.
You probably meant 'unsuccessfully'.

Considering how the erection works ( we are talking about men raping women, right? ) I don't think we can so easily discard 'sexual arousal' from the equation. But this is certainly far from saying it is sufficient to make a rape happen.
Rape is violence and sex.

The point is that rapists are sexually aroused by the violence and domination. Not the mere sight of an attractive female.
Normal, healthy men who are aroused by the sight of an attractive female buy her a drink.

Yesterday I was looking at rape stats in Idaho (don't ask!) and about 70% of the 1700 victims per annum knew the attacker. Until yesterday I thought rapists were strangers....... not so, it seems.....
