This troubles both sides as the men who manage to control themselves feel slighted to be compared and the wimmin who don't get abused are outraged that it was a possibility but mostly that they are all a bad situation from an attack from a normal horny joe. Imagine what would happen if Helen Mirren fell asleep on SPs couch. hmm probably say a poem to her.
now if someone could direct me to the hills I believe the pitchforks are being sharpened.Originally posted by Mike Bullocks View PostMy original post was a bit tongue in cheek but my thoughts are. Of course most women are not being sexually abused. There is a high rate of it but the average bloke isn’t actually sexually abusing women . I base it on the facts that.
1.A HUGE percentage of women will simply not tolerate it. I’d like to see someone try it with nearly every woman I know.
2. The line of what is sexual abuse these days is just silly (as your rape the table example clearly displays, you are silly)
3. Ask yourself if you would do it , have ever done it, what makes you so special,* NOTHING.
4. The world (western anyway)* has never been a safer place for women* in terms of rights/respect/career etc.
We need to be careful that us men don’t get painted into a corner where we can’t even fart in the same room as a women without being thought of as an abuser It’s tougher being a woman than a man in a sexual sense but let’s not devalue the suffering of those who suffered real sexual abuse by placing every little comment however sexual as abuse.
Mostly I’m not interested in the male outrage though. Its always so fucking patronising to women .They are not weak and don't need you to protect them .
He used to come up behind my chair, look around to make sure no one else was there, put his fucking hand done to my leg and creep towards the top. I refused to wear skirts, always trousers. Saying in my ear that it isn't sexual harasment as surely ignoring me as a woman was more sexual harassment than what he was doing. I can still feel his breath on my face, it was fucking the most horrendous experience and I let it happen.
I did not LIKE it and was pretty damn scared. I needed my job to help pay a mortgage, he was a popular guy in the community, who would believe me? all that is what went through my head. I told my ex eventually and he basically told me to stick it out as the boss had been good to us with doing things for the house we built. SO I stuck it out till I split with the ex.
So I call BS on your statements Willie strong woman CAN crumble and be victims. And sometimes woman DO need a man to protect them.

This is the rape culture pyramid:
As you can see from the pyramid, banter is actually the same thing as rape
What it does say is just common sense, a pervasive culture of misogyny normalises and excuses
Which bits of the bottom two layers of the picture are you ok with

"Women won't tolerate it" is madness. It's the opposite. It's an inundation of comments, catcalls, groping etc your whole life, they have to tolerate it. When I had a broken arm I felt fairly vulnerable everywhere I went at night, once I went to the George with my friend and jaysus the harassment I got. I then felt I was fully receiving the female night out experience.
What precautions do people think about when going out like that? I take absolutely none, half the world isnt easily twice as strong as me and people arent constantly harassing me. if I ask a female friend the list is a mile long, down to never taking their eye off their drink. See a post on my Facebook now asking how many dick pics have people gotten, the replies are typically in the hundreds with far more weird messages about fucking them, calling them a whore or raping them too. Its funny that when im walking with a girl there are like zero comments or catcalls, second people think they are on their own it's a 180. Dudes have a weird fascination with telling girls to smile afterwards too. Also the amount of outright staring is fairly freaky.Last edited by Tar.Aldarion; 27-10-17, 10:20.

She thinks and I agree, something was put in my drink, especially as time went on and still no flashbacks at all. Just about 3 hours gone and a sleep I have nothing I could report back on. Just a blank.
I was very careful about my drinks after that, would never leave it sitting on the high bar bit at the dance floor etc. And it is a shame that it has to be this way.

I'm OK with that though. The fact that Denny thinks we notice that he talks about djs specifically is pretty funny.

The fact you managed to still show up for work is astonishing.
No need to answer if you don't like but did you ever report the fucker or even think of doing so still?
After I split with my ex, they both got together and made some sort of financial deal. During this time he told the boss what I had said to him and they both went against me. I am not going into that but he did call me and say that he had heard from the ex and that I was making wild accusations. I was driving from Dublin at the time and just spluttered a bit and wanted to say, "well you know what happened" but I denied saying a thing and he cut the call and I never had anything to do with him again.
I knew a cousin of one of my friends used to work for him and I tried to get info out of her without saying too much but never managed and this was while I still worked there. Without me telling her what I was asking I couldn't get what I wanted across to the cousin so I ended up leaving it.
No point now though, I kind of felt bad as I worked with his son, knew his other 2 sons and his daughter as well as wife and didn't want to hurt her. I know that is silly but that was my main reason.
I was the one that kept the company going, I made sure all the money came in etc and after I left a few months later the place went bust and shit down. So I just moved on and tried to put it behind me. Hadn't really thought much about it this last while till all the stuff was posted.
Ah memories lol

#NotallMen is the dumbest fucking thing.
If someone wrote on twitter "I was shot by a white guy" nobody would reply "#Notallwhiteguys"
The NotAllMen thing comes from a place of fear. We have been able to do and get away with absolutely crazy levels of inappropriate behaviour for centuries. Now men are terrified that their "banter" might be called out for what it really is and so we pre-emptively try and distinguish ourselves. "Oh yeah that lad was sexist but we aren't all like him. My motivations for making unnecessarily sexual comments around women are just humour, not sexism or inappropriate. It's all good fun with me, unlike that creep #NotallMen"
The simple fact is that intention is subjective, but behaviour is objective. If you make a joke that is objectively inappropriate (and we all know when we do) then you simply have to accept that someone might find it inappropriate. Same with unnecessary touching (no, she doesn't want you to touch her arm when you talk) or more explicit forms of behaviour. All men engage in it to some degree or stay silent in the face of it no matter how much we tell ourselves we don't.
So, to a certain extent, it is all men. And that's why we react to it by saying it isn't. Cause we know that on a certain level we have probably all risked crossing that line and justified it by saying "it was banter" or that we didn't have a bad intention therefore it wasn't a bad act.You are technically correct...the best kind of correct

Twitter isn’t real life. Need the extremists on each side to be locked in a room so they can claw each other’s eyes out.

70% of all tax revenues originate in Dublin. Let's stop subsidising your culchie lifestyle, declare UDI and build some funky shit (metro, get a Guggenheim, hell a monorail, why not, rebuild the Phoenix Park racecourse.

Speaking of Clare, we spent two nights in the Wild Honey Inn the weekend just past.
The food was of absolutely mind-blowing quality. We were in l'Ecrivain around this time last year I think and while that was very good, this was next level up.
Heading to the Cliff House next weekend - it has a lot to live up to!
