Yet another ridiculous comment on rape by a politician - say it ain't so!

it works this way:
You state something reasonable.
Someone (Mavis) disagrees with it.
Mavis wants to argue, but reasonable views are hard to attack.
So Mavis invents a straw man by misquoting you or inferring something silly.
Then Mavis proceeds to abuse her creation with cries of "False equivalence!" or some other buzzword.
And you're left wondering what on Earth Mavis is smoking.

Said the guy who thinks it's reasonable to call the Obama administration a "matriarchy".

Such dishonesty....tsk, tsk.
No full quote....just a single word with no context?
Perhaps you could link the post wherein I claimed this.


Another approach occurs to me!
I could give a mischievous inference to your posts....yes, let's try it.
Said the pseudo-feminist who believes that "women should never defend themselves if raped", lest they murder their assailant.

You have been implying that one has to shoot others if one carries a firearm.
This is simply not true.

Of course I haven't. That's ridiculous. It's quite transparently a straw man you have created for your own purposes, whatever they may be. Are you prepared to accept for the purpose of debate that I actually mean exactly what I say? If not, there's not really much point in us talking, right?

If you are psychologically prepared to use that gun to shoot a human being if you deem it necessary, however rigorous your precautions, THAT is the perspective that almost nobody in the OECD outside the US can relate to. It would be perceived as a bizarre and possibly dangerous attitude in every country I've lived or traveled.

That is my opinion. Care to talk about it? :)

Oh, I thought that he was Mavis. I mean, if his tale was somehow supposed to be consistent with reality.

Time for a rerun....

There once was a rascal named Trout.
He'd stand on the sidelines & spout
some snark he thought witty,
but seldomly did he
say what his own thoughts were about.

It's obviously not something that someone desires. The desire is for the drawn firearm to deter attackers, but anyone should be prepared to kill when it comes to their own survival and of that of their loved ones. If you had a child, would you kill to protect them if necessary, or would you simply stare on with vacant eyes and an agape mouth, drool trickling out, while your child is savagely murdered, screaming for mommy all the while?

I prefer not to go through life imagining such implausible scenarios are likely to occur.

:D psychological projection has given me such a wealth of giggles over the years. Once a narcissistic drama queen left a poem on my pillow. She called me Katy and gushed at length about how I was obsessed with getting men to want to have sex with me to boost my self esteem. She was mad because I was hanging out with her ex. I don't expect she realized how much of her own soul that poem laid bare. I had a great laugh about that one too.

That's it? No snappy come-back?
So now Alceste rises to your defense.
But even she fails to support her bogus quote from earlier (caught in a fib).

KT needs no defending, and unless you deleted your comment about the democrats being matriarchal because they support the concept of a social safety net, I don't need to elaborate on the reference. Everybody in that thread saw it and remembers it well. :D

All my posts are still there, yet you can't find a quote where I said what you claim?
(Your pants are on fire.)

"You're a dirty liar, Golly gee, let's just all cut it out with the personal attacks."

Lol. I will chalk that up as a win. :D

The record is there.
If I said what you claim, you could find a quote.
But you can't.
You made it up.
