Are we really going to engage in this mental gymnastics filled song and dance damage control again?
Quote from: LC on September 08, 2015, 01:11:15 PMAre we really going to engage in this mental gymnastics filled song and dance damage control again?I hate when people misuse basic terms. You know this.
But it wasn't misused.
Quote from: LC on September 08, 2015, 01:21:56 PMBut it wasn't misused.Yeah, according to a fucking dictionary. They're designed to be elastic to the common vernacular's malapropistic dumbfuckery. It's not an accurate source.The more people misuse a term, the more accepted its new definition becomes, but that doesn't make it any less wrong.

Explain to me why I should feel as sympathetic towards the male in these scenarios even though both parties, male and female, consented to the act, and are therefore both responsible? Why should I lend them both the same amount of sympathy? Why should I feel sorry for the poor dumbfuck male who just couldn't keep it in his pants, huh?

What does any of this have to do with women being just as horny as men?

If you didn't want the baby, you should've made sure to use proper contraception. I'm looking at all the guys who don't use condoms because they don't like the feeling or whatever. Once the woman is carrying the baby, it's her decision.

QuoteQuoteThe dictionary isn't an accurate source of word definitions. -Verbatim 9/8/2015There really isn't much else to discuss since you have no interest in having an honest conversation.Dictionaries are guides. They don't describe words—they describe vernacular, as I have explained. It's silly to act like they're law. All you had to say was, "Well, I'm talking about the commoner's definition of a myth," and I would have been like, "Yeah, of course you are, you dumb pleb." And then we could've moved on.
If men tend to be "hornier" than women, it logically follows that men ought to be more responsible.
Considering that "men are hornier than women" was something being used in this thread to justify peoples views
No one really cares about your made up definitions. If you want to discuss things with people in the real world you're going to have to be grounded in reality.
Quote from: Verbatim on September 08, 2015, 12:05:39 PMIf men tend to be "hornier" than women, it logically follows that men ought to be more responsible. No it doesn't? The only thing that that establishes is that men are more willing to be more responsible than woman.

Because they're willing to be more responsible.What the fuck are you talking about?
What the fuck are you talking about. You haven't given any reasoning as to why men having greater desire for sex creates an obligation for them to have greater responsibility. Nothing about wanting something more means you have to sacrifice more.

The only reason it would is because the man chooses to take on greater obligations because to him sex is more valuable.
You can't just keep saying "it does", you have to substantiate your claim.
Quote from: eggsalad on September 08, 2015, 03:03:21 PMThe only reason it would is because the man chooses to take on greater obligations because to him sex is more valuable.Exactly. And he's a stupid motherfucker for thinking sex is more valuable—that's my point.So, you're not disagreeing with me at all, and you're either too stupid to realize that, or... I don't even know what's happening.Quote from: Mad Max on September 08, 2015, 03:03:55 PMYou can't just keep saying "it does", you have to substantiate your claim.You can't just cut out the part where I substantiated my claim and then say that I failed to substantiate my claim. That's called being a shithead.
