Why Aren't Men Fighting Back? - The Sexual Assault of Men and Boys

[Jade]

Furthermore, I think that many of these women are NOT owning up to the part they may have played in some of these encounters. Many women have used sex to gain an advantage in society. Weather we’re talking Hollywood, politics, or the board room, woman have used sex to lure men into giving them jobs, promotions, movie roles, appointments, etc. This is no secret! And I would dare say that many of the current crop of accusers, after gaining their wealth and fame, are using selective memory about what really happened between them and the accused in many of these cases. Some of the men that we are hearing from who admit their role in some of these encounters are saying “I felt that I was pursuing shared feelings” or “some of what is being said is untrue or mischaracterized,” but this does not seem to have any leverage whatsoever. Women have often used sex to put men in uncompromising positions and then complain or yell rape when they didn’t get what they wanted. Now, I’m not saying that none of these claims have merit. I’m just saying that if they didn’t seek redress at the time it happened, and we allow every woman that has a gripe with some guy that they knowingly flirted with and then, several years later say that he assaulted them only for the accused to lose his job, his office, his appointment, etc., for unproven claims, I have a problem with this.

This is such a backwards distortion of what is actually happening, but on one level it's amusing to think that anyone could believe that women have had even a semblance of this type of power. What has actually happened is the exact opposite of what you claim has happened.

I mean, I don't want to get into this gender argument any more than anyone else does, but I feel a duty to not allow complete falsehoods to perpetuate and turn into frustrated confusion.

Dante, most of your post is a complete lie and distortion from actual reality. Either you are trolling to rile people up and cause a fight, or you are deliberately lying to confuse people into complacency. I find it hard to believe that someone actually subscribes to such a thoroughly distorted version of reality. If you want to have a real discussion about this, then we need to eliminate all the hyperbole, and probably the click-bait article style stock photos. Not to mention, if you are actually worried about men being victimized, why focus on women who are the perpetrators? What about all the men who have been abused by other men? This is merely trying to incite a gender war, nothing more.

I also find it disheartening that people would choose to come into this thread to make a (potentially) new poster feel unwelcome, but the idea of standing up against someone speaking hateful falsehoods is out of everyone's comfort zone.
