Anyone who uses that term is immediately labeled an incel in my mind, and I block them.

@BaroquenRecorder i didn't delete my account. I don't know of any way to restore a deleted account.

@admiralteal

No, some of my restored comments had been removed years ago because they were too identifying to leave out there, once the purpose of support was accomplished.

@tenth

That's what I used the first time. I was hoping manually deleting them this time would make it stick. Thanks, though.

Police don't issue POs in any jurisdiction I know of. You have to go to court for that. Police can't do more than ask them nicely to go away until you get a court issued PO signed by a judge.

The vast majority of evidence shows that people don't tend to go around falsely accusing their loved ones of crimes just for kicks and giggles. Yet every abuse apologist loves to polish up that argument every single time.

I'm trying to give you the benefit of doubt, but you do realize that making these arguments in this way puts you squarely aligned with the most consistent group of murderers in the world, right?

"People are being hurt and terrorized, and need to be protected!"

"But we couldn't possibly take away a few guns until we sort this out, because an entitled violent person's right to have a gun is way more important than thousands of innocent murdered women and children, right!...Right?"

I think you're getting temporary POs confused with permanent ones.

My ex and abuser was convicted of domestic violence charges, and currently owns a gun and has no public record of his crimes. This despite being anti gun and getting it for the sole purpose of scaring me. Proof has nothing to do with it. Courts regularly ignore proof in order to fail to protect victims. If they don't accept criminal convictions as proof, there isn't much they will accept. Don't pretend this has anything to do with a need to prove that someone is a monster before taking away his deadly toys.

For what it is worth, our kids are still fighting to heal the damage he did to them. But he has a right to a gun, so bully for him.

Words can't express my fury. What can be done about it?

He's basically saying that the dignity and life of the potential to be a man is more important than the dignity and life of a living woman.

After all, how dignified is it to birth and raise the child of your rapist, or your brother?

[–] AnalogyAddict@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Probably because it became less about getting food (where gatherers provided the bulk) and more about protecting the land you have (which required strength.)

[–] AnalogyAddict@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Agreed. If we don't call out the problems, isn't it tacit approval?

[–] AnalogyAddict@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, that's the point I stopped reading because it went totally off the rails. Women have a pretty good handle on what men find attractive. They tell us incessantly. We just don't care, most of the time, because we are born how we are born, and eat how we eat, and care more about being comfortable in our own skin than with what men think of us.

I don't have an issue with men writing it, but I do have an issue with the patronizing attitude, the condescension. These guys still don't get it, and if they simplified on purpose, they took it too far.

I filed for no-fault divorce at the advice of my lawyer, despite clear evidence of abuse and infidelity. It hurt, emotionally, because it felt like a lie. But now I understand my lawyer was looking out for me. I would have been in much more danger publicly calling out his behavior.
