    This Week in Rape Culture:

    So, you couldn't even see that he is a narcissist, who's tormented because of his ego and his expectation of others...primarily women...to gratify his whims and desires? I don't blame feminism for feeding his ego and his expectations of the women he met during his life. The culture that is to...

    Rape - Is it ever the victims fault?

    I've been married over 25 years now...not including three years living common-law....so, I guess marriage works for me. But, I am not going to try to force it on everyone! Most of the problems of infidelity that you would categorize as sin, are part of our collective legacy from the distant...

    This Week in Rape Culture:

    Or, what about Gonzo Porn? I wasn't even aware of how extreme the porn industry has become since the days we had skin mags and 8mm. stag movies. You mentioned video games - are you aware that the war games...the especially violent and bloody war games desensitize the viewer to similar...

    Did you notice that as information came out about him and his motives, that he already had a like-minded community of supporters? I didn't even know that when I started this thread! I just expected it, because like the relationship between O'Reilly and his "Tiller the baby killer" theme a few...

    This Week in Rape Culture:

    Yes it does, for that exact reason! This issue belongs here, not on a feminist sub-forum, or even a general news thread. We've been treated to a series of anti-feminist themes in recent years, following the general line that focusing attention on these extreme crimes is applying collective...

    This Week in Rape Culture:

    Yes, you read my thread title correctly, because two very recent crimes are a result of what happens when we stop considering the power differences between men and women, and start becoming overly concerned about guys who just got their signals crossed etc.: California gunman, in manifesto...

    Bad move by House Republicans

    That seems very likely. I don't recall the number, but I recall Frank Schaeffer mentioning in an interview a while back that there were several hundred Bible verses that deal with poor. I don't think he found any congratulating the rich for their success in business! Pat Robertson and his ilk...

    Your honest-to-goodness feelings on atheists.

    I think these points describe a lot of what I have found unappealing about standard atheist/humanism that is widely promoted for a number of reasons: 1. Many atheist humanists are libertarians on economic issues, which earns them entry into right wing media and think tanks sponsored by wealthy...

    Your honest-to-goodness feelings on atheists.

    It's not quite exactly what I meant - I am aware that Islam doesn't share the doctrines of original salvation and salvation by grace...the fast track lane to heaven, but there are many similarities with Judaism and Christianity because of what they share in common, the big difference I see is...

    Bad move by House Republicans

    Yes, there are so many Bible verses that condemn accumulating wealth and giving to the poor/ and scant few that can be twisted and shaped to the liking of the free marketeers, that I would say regardless of other beliefs that are or seem contradictory from book to book, the Bible's social gospel...

    Rape - Is it ever the victims fault?

    Good post! But I wanted to enlarge and bold this portion because it encapsulates where and why this dispute over consent gets started. If someone has empathy, they attempt to understand how other people feel and see things from their perspective....and for men, that includes the female half...

    Bad move by House Republicans

    There are doctrinal differences on salvation, original sin, free will/predestination, baptism, heaven/resurrection, 2nd coming etc., but there is nowhere in the Bible - old or new testaments, that teaches anything remotely similar to modern capitalistic principles. The prosperity gospel and...

    Your honest-to-goodness feelings on atheists.

    Most of what I know and have learned about Islam in recent years, has been mostly for the purpose of trying to separate myth from reality. In a nutshell, the hysteria and misinformation generated after 9/11 about what Muslims really believe about their religion and how it relates to others, led...
