In reply to the discussion: Let's talk about "Coercive Sex". [View all]Major Nikon
(36,900 posts)54. Based on what? Your opinion?
The opinion of other rad-fems who obviously have a vested interest in impeaching Farrell?
Here is the quoted text, emphasized for the lazy...
It is important that womans noes be respected and that her yeses be respected.
Now you can certainly continue to claim that this sentence isn't relevant, or you can pretend you didn't see it, but that doesn't make it any less valid. Furthermore, I have seen no evidence that anyone outside of rad-fem circles has bought any of your allegations. So you can get disturbed all you want, but it doesn't change reality. None of the allegations have so much as made the cut on wiki, and I find it quite hard to believe it's for lack of trying. You also seem to be disturbed quite often, so one has to believe that charge tends to lose its luster from overuse.
Believe it or not the question of consent is one that can and should be discussed at length because there is quite a bit lacking in the areas of legality and sexual education. I think you would agree with this. However, if you think that only the opinions of you and those who identify as rad-fems are the only ones that are valid, good luck getting anyone to see beyond your egotism.
Just sayin'

If they built the blocks to look like girls and fucked the structure first, maybe.

I'm not sure that building and knocking over block buildings qualifies as shitty parenting, either.

No, it was that the parents excused it by saying "boys will be boys", supposedly.

additional clarification: yes, the point of block towers is to build and knock them down.

Explain why you quote it along with your defense of Farrell being 'quoted out of context'. nt

For me, it's simply being conscientious of what the other person wants or doesn't want.

In general, I think I agree with you. And I think splitting hairs over someone's "real intentions"
