Not sure how I feel about the thread title, but I do know that a favorite movie line around our house is from the original (and by far the best) _Tremors_ movie. Michael Gross saying to the “graboid” he’d just shot: You messed with wrong goddamn rec room! Such a perfect genre movie, and so well cast. ---

> [@Gyrate](#): > > Waitasecond… if he wasn’t local and he was arrested in front of his family, does that imply that he groped a waitress in a restaurant _that his wife and children were also at_? Because that just adds an extra layer of stupid to what he did. Yes, that adds that extra layer of stupid, yes, he was arrested in front of them, I’m hoping her first call was to her parents and their first call was to a lawyer…when I showed this to Mrs. BLTC, she commented, “I wonder how many times he got away with that in the past”, good point, karma’a a bitch, dude… ---

Yes, women are conditioned not to fight back, but that’s because the patriarchy is afraid of them if they do fight back.

Finally, a woman is acting “right” in the face of sexual assault! You’re complaining about non-existent sexism in the thread title while implicitly stating that strength and an instinct for self-preservation are male traits. Can’t tell if serious or if this is a bad attempt at mocking SJWs. ---
