I don’t condone death threats or stalking, but I also don’t condone sexual harassment & voyeurism. He is a sexual harasser. Stop standing up for him. He needs to leave the sorority & leave women alone, & never, ever, ever use women’s spaces again.
@LadieLabrys
In my early 30’s I lived near downtown Tucson. Tons of drunk college kids. Guys would go down at closing & pick up extremely drunk girls to lead away. I used to go down there & find them doing it, & stop & ask the girl “is this your boyfriend?,” ask if she knew his name etc.
@Rob_ThaBuilder
I saw this exact sign in a bar restroom next to a sign advising women to ask for different drinks in code, eg if being followed or harassed & needing a cab, or even in case of needing police called. Apparently, tho, their harasser could follow them into the restroom w/impunity.🤷♀️

Cue dating. He immediately became abusive, & also raped me. Now I have fibromyalgia

You mean the man who refused service to a 14-year-old victim who asked for a female counselor, said “rape victims can be bigoted too” & that they need to “reframe their trauma,” who lied about his sex on his application for the job, & likes to discuss rape victims having orgasms?

Interesting how you don’t bother denying your sexual harassment whilst engaging in your continued harassment of Louise for her support of women. I see you’ve now “progressed” to telling women to shut up if they’ve been blacklisted by the liberal MSM, how very charming.
The worst part about the gender movement is not how deeply sexist everyone supporting it seems to be, how impervious they are to facts & logic, or even the barbarism toward children. It’s the realization that most people will do the wrong thing when their in-group tells them to.
@ask_aubry
Why do women stay? He cheats on her, he acts like a stalker around her SIL, he’s a creep to other women online, he’s been her BF for 10 years (she doesn’t believe in marriage? Doubtful), he’s never sweet to her while creepily complimenting other women. Ofc he’s an assaulter, too.

I remember reading about 19-year-old Shana Grice’s case when it happened. The reason she didn’t tell police she had briefly dated the guy who was stalking her is because they interviewed her in front of her fiancé, who didn’t know she’d had another relationship when they were

Women have it objectively worse in dating, not because women can’t get dates, but because of the kinds of men women have to contend with & hope to be able to weed out w/o injury. Dating is dangerous for women, high risk & low reward even when for fun, considering the orgasm gap.
Regarding wartime rape, there’s an interesting hypothesis that there’s a “rape switch” in most men, who won’t rape under normal circumstances (in which the man’s potential as a rapist is suppressed), but will “switch on” under circumstances in which rape is actively encouraged

You’re despicable.

I know this is extremely uncharitable, but Helen strikes me as the ultimate “pick me” who is using her own misogyny as an “in” with the boys, rather than be the target of it based on her appearance, as she would be if she told the truth & in doing so stuck up for women.

I love the way she reduces “cisgender” people to dimwitted clusters of stereotypes in her mind for “misgendering” her, while simultaneously assuming she knows their “gender identity.” I’m sure she never gets misgendered by fellow NBs & “trans” folx who meet her for the 1st time.

Your son is a thousand times more likely to commit rape than be falsely accused of it, & hundreds of times more likely to be raped by another man or boy than be falsely accused of it—& rape ruins lives. I wonder why you aren’t worried about that, seeing as it’s much more likely?

Nope. Boy-on-girl sexual assaults (meaning young children) have risen by 30% in the UK as well. The problem is culture ALL OVER THE WORLD. Porn is heavily implicated in this global cultural phenomenon of woman-hating & promoting sexual violence. That’s what kids think sex IS.

Somehow I doubt you’d take as evidence that every single woman has been raped or knows at least one woman who has been raped (usually many more).
And according to stats, rape is more than twice as frequent as men paying alimony after
There was a famous Reddit thread called “ask a rapist.” Among the rapists’ confessions was one man who claimed to have never raped but to only date rape victims, because “they let you do anything.” Gonzo pornography means we’re raising an entire generation of predators & victims.
