In the Cornell rape case, I haven't picked a side.

I side with truth & justice.

If she was raped, I want the men punished.

If she's lying, I want the men acquitted & her punished.

I don't have the evidence to decide either way.

When did this become "rape apology?"

[InfantryDort @infantrydort]

Do you know what the most destructive force in human history is?

It isn’t a weapon or an army. It’s young men with nothing to live for. And today's most "acceptably" maligned cohort happens to be young white men.

Every civilization that forgot how to give its young men purpose eventually met them on the battlefield. Every single empire that scorned its sons ended the same way.

When men are denied purpose, mocked for their instincts, priced out of homes, shut out of marriage, and treated as expendable, they eventually stop protecting the system that rejected them.

These are the men who rally to strong voices. They march behind banners promising righteous belonging. And when they move, the world moves with them.

A society that mocks masculinity is a society playing with fire. Young men are not inherently violent. They are VITAL. Whether they build cathedrals or burn cities depends entirely on whether the civilization that raised them still deserves their loyalty.

TLDR. The lesson is to respect your sons. Or you’ll one day meet them as Soldiers. Don't take it up with me and get angry. Take it up with history.

@wil_da_beast630 I'm not denying that there are degrees. Being gang raped by a crowd is worse than being raped by one. But it's still rape, whether it's one or ten. It's over the goddamn line.

@Aella_Girl @distributedkv Not surprising. Confused people are confused. Keeping one foot on the platform while the other foot is on the train rarely works out.

My SIL works in a daycare. Son of mutual friends is often under her care. He was circumcised, and has been a holy terror for months because every time he pissed it goes into a partially healed wound. What function is that improving? Infant circumcision on either sex is barbaric. Full stop.

[Kenn L @SpaceAndBeyond]

@atx_freethought @wil_da_beast630 First, aesthetics are subjective, and it's still an unnecessary surgery. Would you subject an infant to a nose job? And who is concerned with the aesthetic appeal of a child's genetalia anyway?

Further, how exactly does it improve anything?

[Texas2AAttorney @CJGRISHAM]

The rule is simple. The State must convince every single juror, individually, beyond a reasonable doubt, on every element, and must overcome every affirmative defense. One unconvinced juror is not an obstacle to justice. One unconvinced juror IS justice.

[Pirate Moth Boi 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇧 @moth_pirate]

My actual thoughts on Cornell is that the men are probably dirtbags and fools and having drunk sex with strange women is never a good idea...

But i'm not taking advice on morality from the "ignores Grooming Gangs, Chris Hansen is problematic, Lindsay Clancy is innocent" brigadge

The main reason Gaza looks like Gaza does now is the choice of people in Gaza.

Things are not going to get better until recognize that the people of Gaza, like Israel, are human beings with agency. And thus they need to be accountable for their own action and not be treated as dumb babies who things just happen to out of their control.

[Lu for Alaska @luinalaska]

My internal reactions to “I’m a rescue pit mommy” and “I married a man I met from prison pen pal dot com” are now exactly the same. Zero risk assessment skills. Zero concerns for the ripple effects of your own choices. Malignant empathy. Lashing out at people who bring up totally reasonable fears or concerns about your choices. The insane female drive to “fix” broken dangerous things. The misplaced maternal care. It’s got it all.

[Kolchak the Dude (He/Him) 😇 🐊 🇺🇸🤝🇺🇦🍌 @ArthurKolchak]

Maybe I’m just not running with the “right” guys, but literally all the boastful locker room talk I’ve ever been in earshot of involves what the theorists like to call Enthusiastic Consent, i.e., “Dude, she was a DEMON, she was *all over me*, man!”

The number of Dennis Reynolds (from It’s Always Sunny) “implication” accounts I’ve heard is exactly zero.

Events like the unfortunate business at Cornell demonstrate that such rape-positive anecdotes do take place, but I never seem to be in the room when they do, and I suspect a majority of men would say the same. This leads me to believe that a disquieting number of rapists know who their fellows are and know to stay quiet about their predilections in most contexts.

[Connor Tomlinson @Con_Tomlinson]

The British Empire was great, actually, and many of the nations it occupied didn't deserve the good we did for them, given their present ingratitude.

"Colonialism bad" rhetoric only appeals to anti-white leftists, who see Israel as a white-coded colonial project.

Whereas the patriotic population of Britain, suffering under a leftist government, receive this as an attack on the things they love about their country.

Utterly retarded.

[Devin Monahan @Devin_J_Monahan]

Any time a woman says that her situationship doesn't want to commit to her or is "always sleeping around" the first thing I ask is "well, what gets him feeling committed? What would make him want to marry you?" 99/100 times she can't answer the question. She doesn't know.

That's the problem.

I actually long for an America with demographics where the median welfare abuser looks like this and isn't some foreigner who hopped off a boat 10 minutes ago.

@alphafox She learned nothing. Clearly the punishment was far too lenient.

A majority of women have no functional theory-of-mind for the opposite sex.

[Good Opinions Calvin's Dad @MrGoodOps]

There’s this prevalent belief that male spaces are predominantly places where they go to bitch about the opposite sex or their girlfriends, because that’s what many female spaces are - when male spaces are mainly just to talk about cars and video games and shitposts.
