I said neither of those things. You imagined it. Are you on hallucinogens?

Age of consent is very important. Should be 14 for girls and 16 for boys.

Millions of female voyeurs should be punished

You don't like free speech. Okay do it your way.

Oh my. I had an entire response but I changed my mind. I can expose and give away my energy to a conspiracy theorist.

That is the most eloquently I have ever been bullied though.

Aw I thought we werent debating sir...now we are?

I sense some real hostility coming off your words. Why so angry? Why claiming i have said or implied multiple things that I assure you ii have not.

It doesn't take a genius or a library or AI to know that the violence against women is REAL, not improving and happening at a marginally higher rate. And that assaulting anyone is wrong. If you disagree that the patriarchy has nothing to do with the entitlement that is rampant, I would urge you to l, again, be uncomfortable and be an ally to victims instead of insisting they are crazy and this shit isn't REALLY going on. If you believe the latter, there is no hope for you. You are likely not mentally capable of considering someone else's viewpoint.

Last thing I forgot to say-Amathia is not something I have ever struggled with as I am always seeking to learn what opposite life views than mine truly believe. I make.effort to ensure that I am not ignorant before talking on a subject. I do see Dunning-Kruger effect hanging out in damn near all these type of chats I end up in.

I just watched this episode and it was powerful. I held my breath through the scenes as Evans carefully and full of care conducted that exam. She was compassionate, understood the violation that occurs with rape and did her best not to further violate the woman in her care. And this was done in the context of other medical situations that also called for empathy and compassion.

Wow Bettina…. You criticize this portrayal and complain that the show depicts medically appropriate treatment and legally required evidence collection as somehow performative, insinuating that a rape victim does not have the right to be treated compassionately or appropriately. Really? I guess you think that collecting evidence that stands up in court is too threatening to the male rapists out there or that it is ok to further traumatize rape victims with shoddy care. Hmmmm Bettina… Really???

It’s bad enough when men engage in this type of misogyny, but when a woman does, the internalized self hate (yes, I call it what it is despite your effort to deny it) oozes out with a rotten smell like Digby’s maggot infested flesh. Maggots. We are surrounded by the smell and putritude of too many maggots in power now.

And this article is a performative effort to appeal to a regressive cult that would take away a woman’s equal status in society, has taken away bodily autonomy and now this woman argues that even empathy is too much to give … Come on now Bettina…

I keep on saying this, FEMINISM IS NOT FOR EVERY ONE, MOST WOMEN AND MEN DON'T LIKE IT, which is understandable, everyone must not partake in it , if you are not a feminist, GOOD FOR YOU, if you are a feminist, BETTER FOR YOU ..

I pretty much cant watch commissioned series now on Netflix, BBC, Apple TV etc. THE MESSAGE is just nauseatingly force fed to us and overtakes plot, entertainment, and immersion.

Sure someone from the U.K. has pointed out that the “Sanctify all women reporting sex assaults” rule does not apply to all cases. Especially, working class mainly white girls raped and barbarically in some cases murdered by industrialised Pakistani rape gangs. No AWFUL compassion for them. Though the feminised DEI driven bureaucracy of police, social work and healthcare were complicit some fearless women confronted it to their cost. The laughably titled “Safeguarding minister for Women and Girls Jess Philips, denied a public enquiry while demanding one into the rape and murder of one middle class white woman.

Most TV is unwatchable. Feminism ideology, woke ideology.....just can't watch. The Pitt, is no different.

I am not sure what "restorative justice" is but I doubt it can replace the hundreds years of wisdom of the Common Law. The problem with the feminist jurisprudence overall is that it has no idea what justice is and wants to replace it with a "feeling what is right". The old English law was bloody but it understood human nature very well. Did you know it was a crime to force even a prostitute already in the 13.century ? Henry de Bracton, the Justice of the King's Bench, ruled that the perpetrator has no way of knowing whether a prostitute refusing sex means she is on her way to forsake that unlawful way of life, but (and this is the part I love), "even if that is not the case, the Law of England does not think so hardly of offenders as to deny them retreat even from a common strumpet". Men and women always knew what is and what is not rape and how to deal with it in a way that protected women from it. The feminist overwrought drama around rape never helped a living soul. It only creates fear and loathing of men.

This is a narrative popping up in the states with Cesar Chavez who has been dead for 30 plus years right now & it is also election 🗳️ time here so it is odd.

The sheer audacity of anyone to question ever our dogma, how dare she!

This seems to sum up your dismissive take.

Gina Nelson's avatar

So how is it dismissive?

As you may know, Bettina Arndt is an Australian therapist, social commentator and men's rights advocate whose views tend to be offensive to those who except the standard view on men - one so standard today that we may not recognize its feminist origins anymore. Perhaps I read you wrong.

Packed with consistent analysis, wise deliberation and testing of reality, Bettina has given yet another seriously valuable contribution to the public discussion of a serious contemporary issue.

99% of all domestic spousal abuse is a case of two idiots fighting, and the weaker idiot losing.

80 % of all rape accusations are false. They are either retracted or disproven in court.

The vast majority of REAL violence against women involve women involved with prostitution and/or drugs. And it’s harsh but true: most of them get what they deserve.

At this point i actively enjoy and savour the anger of feminists and their misery pleases me. They deserve it.
