> [@iiandyiiii](#): > > But this was presented as a debate, as if both sides of this were reasonable and acceptable, at least in some ways. Okay, so rolled up in my one debate topic there are actually two questions with four total answers. 1 I, a man, would rape the last woman. 2 I, a man, would not rape the last woman. 3 I, a woman, would rape the last man. 4 I, a woman, would not rape the last man. My position is pretty solid on #2 and I was barely leaning over the fence to reach #4 (if I were a woman). I did not think there is no debate to be had between #3 and #4, or even on my own method of reaching #2. At least not before **Kimstu** pointed out a major flaw in my hypo. > [@iiandyiiii](#): > > It’s akin to trying to deliberately come up with the most horrible hypothetical imaginable - something like you must torture puppies or aliens will destroy the earth (and yours is even worse!). That’s not a real debate - it’s a moral gross out contest. I routinely come up with such hypotheticals, and as **DemonTree** noted I once published one here that she and I think is much more vile and sickly than this. But the purpose is not to out-gross someone, it is to find an edge case and test my own philosophy for consistency. This is a valid form of skepticism, in my opinion. ~Max --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/disputing-my-warning-suspension/950393)._
