Who needs a trial for alleged rapists?

I don’t think it has been established that women posted the flyers.

Good point. Let’s say people who posted those flyers.

Internet 101, first lesson: Do not feed the trolls.

If it’s not a troll, it’s insane.

Either way, there’s not much to be gained by engaging.

I assume this is a joke, but if not, what the ****?

I don’t know what country you live in, but in civilized countries, we believe in evidence, facts and logic, not convicting people of crimes based on someone’s say-so.

Also, I’m fairly cynical about people, but I think better of women than to think most of them are potential false witnesses, and I think better of men than to think most of them are rapists.

That sounds vastly better in Quranic Arabic.

Wow, I thought you were just kidding until now.

So you strike me as some sort of feminist and yet you think that these sorts of things are not represswive of women or mysoginistic? I’m going to guess that all these cultures and religions youa re talking about are mysoginistic and repressive of women.

I spent a lot of time growing up on the lower east side with a bunch of Hasidic Jewish shopkeepers and maintained the etiquette you were talking about until it was pointed out to me that people were noticing that I didn’t extend my hand to women to shake their hand. So, I corrected a habit that was appropriate in the lower east side but not in the conference room and started shaking everyone’s hand regardless of their genitals. Now you’re telling me that I am forcing myself on these women?

Yeah, why does this board forget everything they know about trolls? It is far more likely that she doesn’t believe anything that she is saying than she is that screwed up in her thinking. Someone who actually thought like her would not be able to figure out how to post here.

Going to the police would not accomplish their goals of protecting women by informing then of the university’s decision that these are rapists. The only way it would is if there was some sort of prosecution, and that isn’t going to happen if the victims aren’t willing to go forward.

If the university is filing allegations as if they are facts, that’s their own problem. If they don’t let the accused even offer their own version of events, that’s their own problem. If they are actually acting in lieu of the court system, they need to offer the basic features of one.

I can’t imagine ever seeing an official mark that someone has been decided as being responsible for a rape and not responding with the ire these women did. I put the blame not on them but on the university. The only question is if it’s just something like that, or if they are actually helping cover up rapes.

It should be in the university’s best interest to avoid any appearance of impropriety on this subject. The women can only be blamed if they are making things up.

Stop eye-raping me with your text. I didn’t want to see it and you forced it upon me.

It’s funny that now that ZPG Zealot has been proven to be a rapist she doesn’t come back to the thread.

You misunderstood. You’re forcing yourself on everyone. But with the women, it’s also rape.

:wink:

Hey now. The “handshake rape” thing was foaming-at-the-mouth insane, but it absolutely wasn’t boring!

Or the “People who adopt babies legitimately are just child-stealers out to destroy everyone’s lives”

Neither was the “illegitmate kids become vampires” one

I disagree with a piece of your premise. She’s rarely boring, sometimes monotonous and always stupid, hateful and ignorant.

But not boring. :stuck_out_tongue:

I gotta give her credit. I see a lot of stupidity that is potentially contagious. But ZPG, her insane stupidity is just so far out there that Birthers, Moon Landing Hoaxers, anti-caxxers, and 9/11 and Newton truthers seem sane in comparison. All those ideas have taken hold and have found followers - have any of ZPGs? So to her credit, she is not a stupidity disease vector.

The simplest progressive solution would be to institute single sex colleges, with forbidding old biddies patrolling the buildings as bulldogs to make sure no men had penetrated.

Because older, more dominant women never sexually abuse younger, weaker willed women. Or if they do, it’s okay. Like in the Vagina Monologues.

I think I missed that one. Could you post a link, please?

Oh, and I apologize in advance if, by posting one of the words taken in polite society as…well, as polite rapes you, your eyes, your mind, or sullies your fingers as you type any response. :smiley:

Here you go. To be fair, she says her grandparents believed it, not her, but she seems like she has a negative view towards illegitimate children.

Thanks. That’s some serious crazy, there. And it reinforces my resolve to never believe anything ZPGZ posts without independent corroboration.

In other news, it turns out that those Duke lacrosse players really were rapists, because they had good lawyers and besides, we’ll never really know the whole truth anyway.

The D.A., Mike Nifong was a hero.

If you believe otherwise, you’re a hater.

I haven’t listened to Cohan’s interview with Diane Rehm, but his Daily Show appearance was…interesting.

He also thinks people shouldn’t be allowed to write bad reviews of his books before they’ve had time to read them properly and implies that he should be able to sue them for it.
