I'm a guy, even I can admit it. Guys suck. We are perverted, hairy; we fart and we just want to get laid. We want to do nasy things to women, and we would lie, cheat and manipulate women to get what we want. We would F passed out chicks, cos we don't care.
shareSpeak for yourself.
shareWOW, This thread is just...like...so honest
I Love it;)
GOOD POST...ONCE A PERSON REALIZES WHAT THEIR TRUE NAURE IS,THEY CAN BEGIN TO WORK AROUND IT,SO TO SPEAK...GREAT,HONEST POST...WE ARE ALL SCUMBAGS.
shareI'm a guy as well but I do NOT think like that. Not least because I was raised to be nice, law abiding, respectful of women and not be a selfish potential abuser of any kind, let alone of a sexual nature.
I also don't approve of murder of the innocents. And torture. And even lesser stuff like theft and whatnot.
And I certainly wouldn't make a "I'm a guy" or "I'm a man" excuse for any of it either.
Not to mention, I am also bound by rules and laws and morals of our society and I know that actions have consequences.
On a lesser note, I often think about even in this often controversial issue about it from the point of view of heroes and villains and good guys and bad guys, and even though I realize, I wonder in life - can we ever embrace an action movie like culture where good and evil are recognized, evil is rightly despised and good guys win and evil gets it, even with all the tragedy and wrongness that bad guys leave behind? Or do we ALL realize already that it isn't all that simple?
IM A FORMER CRIMINAL AND SCUMBAG...I CAN SEE BOTH SIDES OF THE FIGHT.
share2 Kowalski, you're joking, right? I mean, you're not REALLY any kind of "criminal" or "scumbag", former or otherwise, right?
shareAlso, just imagine how much more terrible the overall situation would be if we humans did NOT have laws, morals, language etc etc etc, and in today's modern age, the internet, various focus groups, help centers, statistics, people who also despise sexual abusers (and from time to time believe they are worse than murderers) - even f unfortunately, we also have the existence of another side, and the overall picture is INCREDIBLY DEPRESSIVE STILL, even MOVIES like including this one (and of similar variety, Ms .45 (1981), Dirty Weekend (1993), any of the "I Spit on Your Grave" movies or the male equivalents of vigilantes like "Death Wish" and whatnot)... would humanity then simply not survive and would selfishness, evil and violence including of the kind that is the most sensitive, prevail? Tough to imagine, and hope to God, if he even exists, it won't.
shareNO...ITS TRUE...FULL ON CRIMINAL SCUMBAG...IVE BEEN A STRAIGHT LACED BORING VANILLA DAD FO OVER A DECADE NOW THOUGH...ONCE MY DAUGHTER CAME ALONG,I CHANGED A LOT ABOUT MYSELF.
shareIf I leave my car unlocked, with the engine running and the key and my wallet inside... While the criminal who steals it would be wrong for doing so, I would have been a fool to be in that position.
shareOK and your point is?
shareAlso - are there guys out there or even people in general, who ARE nice, who are law abiding, moral, non-selfish, not wishing others harm for their own self gratification, non r-culture-affiliated errrr ALSO, who know differences between right and wrong and else, and does this apply to THEM as well? Or should we paint us all black and realize how flawed we are and men especially overall? Oh and it isn't...
... a case of simple good guys versus bad guys or heroes versus villains matter either, right?
I thought it was a clear analogy... i.e. Wicked people will exploit the weak and naive, regardless of how many other virtuous people exist. It will always be such. It's better to not be foolish.
shareBut then in many cases, absolutely no one even "is" foolish and evil still attacks and takes advantage of them.
Plus, some of those cautionary measures like leaving the car locked etc to prevent thieves from coming in is mostly easy, natural and normal.
Whereas having your own body, being female for example and wearing any sort of clothes, well, that isn't something we all control of easily and there are no real grounds for foolishness here, so of course it is always the perpetrator's fault and full stop, as many of them pick on their victims regardless of where they are and what they wear etc.
Plus, and many I think would and at least should agree, I consider rape to be much worse than theft and perpetrators as such I really cannot stand as human beings.
In addition, what is particularly painful about the whole issue of victim blaming in the topic of sexual abuse is that many people who do this, don't just look at the issue of "precaution" as such no, they banally and plainly state, without batting an eye or thinking twice, that for wearing this and that or being here and there, the victim is to blame, full stop.
And they also don't even care too much or even question that sexual abuse is terrible, that it is against the law, that even in some places even other criminals look down on perpetrators as such harshly and whatnot, but more importantly, they make life that is already bad to be worse for the victim.
And as much as I also agree it has to stop and shouldn't happen in the first place, I can't help but wonder why it is even possible and why it happens the way that it does. The overall situation and picture is incredibly depressing and off-putting.
Especially since as a child already back in the 90s I was taught to really despise and feel disgust at sexual predators and perpetrators of sexual abuse and this stance has stuck with me for more than 20 years later.
A - Women and children are weak. That is their nature, nothing to do with victim blaming. There is only one answer, vigilance and having strong men to protect them... This story is as old as time. Always has been.
B - It's just a movie... Don't be upset
