> [@Sunny\_Daze](#): > > Quartz started another thread on persecution of men today. [This one on men raising children.](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=858482) I’m bringing this response over here from that thread because the discussion is moving out of IMHO territory: > [@The sexism experienced by two gay male fathers in the UK](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-sexism-experienced-by-two-gay-male-fathers-in-the-uk/817707/19): > > You haven’t complained about other topics about which I’ve started _several_ threads. > [@The sexism experienced by two gay male fathers in the UK](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-sexism-experienced-by-two-gay-male-fathers-in-the-uk/817707/22): > > _I_ have! And you’re hardly the only person who has taken flack on this board for starting multiple threads on similar topics. It’s a common practice here. Have you not noticed? > [@The sexism experienced by two gay male fathers in the UK](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-sexism-experienced-by-two-gay-male-fathers-in-the-uk/817707/26): > > Ooh! Ulterior motives! That’s the second time, I think, that I’ve been accused of having ulterior motives. Please, do tell me what my agenda, my evil masterplan is. Since you asked: to justify your impression of yourself as a victim, of course. It is clear that your position is that nothing is ever your fault and no negative reaction to a post of yours is justified in your mind, oh no - it’s always other people’s fault for picking on you unjustly. Except, as your vaccine thread amply shows, you deliberately and carefully court this view; you could easily have explained what you meant by “respect” but instead you repeatedly insisted that everyone else was unfairly reading too much into a post that they were begging you to explain in your own words. Or consider the Brexit discussions - you came right out and accused Remainers of being undemocratic, yet when it was pointed out that it was your position (that a second referendum shouldn’t be held) that was the undemocratic one, you complained again about being picked on and left the board for a while. We call out other one-trick-ponies but no, we must be calling you out this time because of your brave stance on fighting injustice against men. So never mind your view of women - the larger issue simply seems to be that _as a board member_ you prefer to cast yourself as the victim and insist that the rest of us are big meanies rather than accept that, by and large, reactions to your posts are warranted. Either own the consequences of your posts or don’t make them, sunshine. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/quartz-please-explain-your-rape-fixation/817209)._
