Yes it does. You mentioned the Old Testament, which prescribes that women be treated as something between second class citizens and two-legged cattle. You'll note that it and similar religious texts have historically been used to justify exactly that kind of treatment in real life. You'll note...

You're being incredibly dense if you think the fact that it's fantasy means it doesn't matter. If you think works of fiction can't greatly influence people's perception of reality, look up the film "Birth of a Nation". Look up the works of L. Ron Hubbard or Ayn Rand. Works of fiction influence...

You... seem to be agreeing with me, but your wording makes your meaning rather ambiguous.

Lots of things. If you're white you're treated differently by police, judges, teachers, and social workers, and on average you're given less harsh sentences for any given crime. You're more likely to be called back for a job than an equally qualified applicant of another race. I'm sure I...

I thought you'd decided not to waste your time with me. Couldn't resist the urge to get the last word in, could you?

The problem with the good=evil dichotomy in a lot of fantasy and RPG settings is that in real life, no one thinks of themselves as evil. People can be motivated to do horrible things by greed, lust, a desire for power, anger, spite, etc - but nobody commits an act for the sake of being "evil"...

I'm aware. Since you are as well, you should also realize how stupid and selfish and myopic the idea that false rape accusations are some kind of grave issue is.

Well, if you're a straight white male living in America, then yes, you have had doors opened to you for that reason alone. It's not an insult, rather a statistical reality.

That would imply that your time is valuable, which I personally doubt. But, uh, do what you feel bruh.

Such as? Because the system we have seems to work pretty well. Can you think of another system that's as simple and as preventative of abuse? Sorry, that's not how the real world works. If you're going to be idealistic, at least have some good ideals.

That is the way of penalizing them. Evidence obtained unlawfully cannot be used. Pretty simple. It's also a way of preventing the false or misleading evidence you mentioned. There's a reason there's a constitutional amendment regarding search and seizure.

I love beer, of all kinds and all levels of quality. I prefer IPAs though, and drink microbrews whenever they're available. Occasionally I'll take hard liquor straight for a few shots, but I'm not hardcore enough to do it consistently. I usually mix rum or vodka with some flavor of soda or...

I didn't misquote him. I directly quoted him, and then paraphrased his words to highlight how heinous and misogynistic they were. It's only unfair if, like aestu, you imagine yourself to be living in a world where wicked women are constantly looking to beguile men into having what they think...

"What good does it do to affirm a woman's consent before having sex with her? She can just deny it later!" This is a serious question, being asked by a serious poster. Sweet Jesus.
