It's regarded as socially acceptable for women to say guys are hot but not the other way round. It was only meant as a lighthearted bit of banter. Geez, some people are so anal it's untrue. The rape thing is like water off the preverbial duck's back to me, mate.
Not to me. My best friend was raped. The liberal use of such a term, let alone to another member on here is shameful. And you are right with what else you said. One of the nicest women on here, Zolasmom(sp?), she routinely uses terms like 'I would do him', when speaking about an attractive man. Does that mean she is a rapist or potentially one? Nup. It simply means she is a normal human being, that is not marinated in PC BS.
And who decides what 'debasement' is? Is it all written down in some sort of Big Bumper Book Of Expressions That Can Be Used By Men (but women can say anything)..?
If Zodiasmom routinely uses the term "I would do him" to sexually humiliate a person because she happens to disagree with the politics that person stands for, that would be just as disgusting as your 'banter' here. I doubt she does use it for that though. She probably uses it in the way that I'd freely state that I'd do Johnny Depp and in the way that my husband says that I'm allowed to do Johnny Depp should the opportunity arise, as long as he can do Vanessa Paradis. If you're too much of a dickhead to see the difference here, you are beyond help.
In your defence you pull the PC card ? Junobet is right you tactically debased both me and those I was arguing for in a political discussion because you, for some reason, where on the defensive. Apart from anything else it was a lazy argument. It wasn't shocking, it was purposefully and crudely, misogynistic, I really don't even mind misogyny........ some of my best friends .and all that ....... but as far as I am concerned men and women are a persfect partnership, not ugly enemies, mans strength though is becoming both of our weaknesses. I didn't accuse any one of actual rape nor insinuate that you were actual rapists, what you were doing was in virtuality not in reality. And nope, I am not trying to curtail your freedom of expression I am just telling you what I think of your tactics, am I not allowed that ? One of my greatest worries in this age is the demonizing of men and that men do not help themselves ................. If we are not careful the Government will become the Male of our species and your chldiishness really doesn't help this dangerous situation.
Why flog a dead horse, can't you find just a little humility, and admit that to imply to two members that they were having a rape fantasy, was just a wrong thing to do, esp when I then went on to tell TMR that my v dearest friend was raped? I am not going to keep saying this, I can take most things with a pinch of salt, but not that. I suggest you leave it there, and keep walking.
And now the victim by proxy card ? Where actual rape is concerned I know it well enough and have no need for a proxy but I wasn't talking of the actual and nor were you. It is you who are flogging the dead horse Jack. It is fine for you to be boys behaving as badly in any manner you deem lighthearted ...but woe betide any one who disagrees with your definition especially when it was aimed in their direction.
AF, I have said all I am going to on this matter, and explained why I think the liberal use of that term, aimed at another member, is a clear insult and violation of the rules. Please move back to topic.

You do like having the last word don't ya 'hun' ? I chose my words quite carefully actually, though your own words spoke for themselves in fact. I don't believe you really think such banter on an International public forum is 'light hearted' I think you were simply being 'devilish'/'impish'/'laddish'/Pushing the boundries. But we are not children we are responsible human beings in a very dangerous time, our words are so important we cannot afford to use them irresponsibly. I am sorry I upset you so but you deserved it ! Be more careful around me in future eh ?
No, you be more careful in your useage of that term, in relation to me, in any context. I meant no malice, and that word can only ever be used with malice. Now, move on to the topic, please...
You really think you have the right eh ? .................... I have and shall use the words that I see fit .....you move onto topic .I think you have already had a discussion about La Clintons looks elsewhere haven't you ?
If you ever state that I raped anyone in my mind again, I will report you. You do not have the freedom to say that to me, sorry. Now get back to the topic, PLEASE.
Well Bossy Boots, I have nothing to say at the moment about La Clinton other than I shall be pleased not to have to read her self righteous words any more though I fear we may get worse .depending on how much choice Obama actually has in the matter. I am sure he will be pleased to see her go too ...you ?
Okay then, anyone else on Hillary Clinton? Since AF has nothing to say on the topic. For instance, do you sense that as time went on, she became a bit ...unhinged? I can recall her from way back, and she used to come across as a much better person, sure it could have been faked, but i just sense that as she has gotten older,she has become unhinged... I mean, is this really a way for someone in her position to behave? [video=youtube;8O86uaisCVY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8O86uaisCVY[/video]
Is that for real ? It looks a bit mmmm not quite kosha to me ........... He, Gaddafi, was shot in the head by a French Assassin the Libyan kids are saying ?
Yes it is real. And there were NATO troops standing near by. The point is, you may forgive that reaction from some drunk geezer down the bar, or even someone on here. But someone in her position? Imo, it just makes her seem like a lunatic, and it is a red face for the US GOv.
