I think someone hurt him. He used to be one of my favourite posters here, but then he went all red pill-y and changed his AV from a happy Tom Baker, the patron saint of well intentioned yet socially awkward nerds, to a slimy Mad Men guy, the patron saint of incels and "nice guys"It is painfully obvious that if you can protect yourself against something bad, you will.
You're being a jerk, and I am blocking you.
You lock your front door when you go out?
Those groups are trying to exert power over those they oppress. I'm not aware of any woman who wants to see guys as potential rapists because they want to oppress men, and if any woman does, then she's crazy.
Then you tell me, when should I prepare? When the guy first lunges at me? When exactly should I prepare?

Why? Because it does not line up with YOUR definition?Which, as I said, is absolutely stupid.
True. But here in the US, that is the gold standard.This might come as a shock, but not everyone use's the FBI's definition.

Here's a tip for you KTS - no-one admits to being an oppressor. Not even the KKK. Not Islamophobes who want to justify profiling on flights.
They usually put their motivations down to, in some form or another....their fear.
Bingo.
Discrimination is basically done on two basis, either assumption of superiority or fear. To promote either, feeling of superiority, or feeling of fear towards a profiled group, does end up promoting discrimination against the said group, either intentionally, or as a by-product of doing something else.
If a woman admits unecessarily exposing herself naked to a man and the man makes an advance which she considers excessively aggressive-her provocation will be taken into serious consideration as well.
Women don't behave as if they are in any special risk. They bicycle down isolated roads, sit calmly in isolated areas near alleys, walk casually down deserted streets.
So, a question for you all, @KTS, @Paidiske, @Zoii
The leading cause of death for Aussie women is heart disease.
http://www.aihw.gov.au/deaths/leading-causes-of-death/
Seeing how death is a worse outcome than rape, and heart disease is a bigger risk for women than rape, and given how utterly and totally afraid you apparently all are of being raped -
How scared are you of heart attacks?
If you are being proportionate about this as you of course insist you are - then you must be scared to Cthulhu-esque levels of heart disease.
Or if you're (presumably) not, are you going to relinquish your faith-based belief that fear and a handful of context-free stats is a reliable metric for evaluating risk and justifying profiling?
when we've got three women here who think all men are their rapist.
I'll go back to my earlier example of black men being lynched for daring to look at a white woman with what was perceived to be lust.
The consequences are obviously not identical, but the rationalisations were similar. It's not "BOO BLACK PEOPLE" or "BOO MEN". It's a bit more subtle than that. It's:
Am I scared of heart disease? Not exactly.
None of us are arguing that.
The outdated view on the topic is that there are two camps, progressive feminists and sexists/patriarchalists who want to keep the old order up.
I like to think I am "third party" person, a man who has legitimate and serious equality concerns of my own, and don't want the old patriarchalist order by any means back, but instead I want the new order, equality, in it's originally promised form, as an equality.
Wanton depraved acts of evil not among them.
Jer 17.9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it?
You missed the bit where I said I'm not scared of rape, exactly, either. I'm not eaten up with anxiety about it. Doesn't mean I want it to happen, to me or anyone else.
