The reality is tha...(continued from previous post)<br /><br />The reality is that this video game, like so many other feminist (chauvinistic) messages, merely perpetuates this utterly depraved double standard, by further entrenching the notion that sexual predatory, rape & domestic violence, are heinous acts which only exist in a dynamic of "female-victim/male-predator". In doing so it further entrenches the notion that men cannot be abused by women - to the point where even instances of female-on-male child abuse are considered an anathema & the victims invariably face disbelief, villainsation & outright ridicule when they do bravely try & speak up.<br /><br />As such, regardless of whether it is their intention, projects like this in effect, perpetuate domestic violence, rape & even paedophile apologetics where the victim is male & the abuser is female.<br /><br />Is it any wonder that men commit suicide at 3-4 times the rates that women do.<br /><br />By all means, issues of domestic & sexual violence must be explored & combated by society. However throwing the plight of half the world's population under a bus to deal with the plight of the other half of the world's population, is nothing but vile hypocrisy.<br /><br />It will be interesting to see whether this post is censored as "questionable expression", however I would point out that as a male survivor of rape & domestic violence at the hands of a female abuser, such an action would be a textbook example of chauvinistic victim blaming & victim gagging.bowspearernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7925798286333691076.post-61273488726581259852013-03-08T21:01:02.995-05:002013-03-08T21:01:02.995-05:00This game, like so much of feminism, perpetuates t...This game, like so much of feminism, perpetuates the very foundational paradigm of traditionalism (male disposability & female infantalisation) that it claims to oppose.<br /><br />Certainly sexual predatory, rape & domestic violence are serious issues, however these are genderless issues. It has long been known that rates of domestic violence by both men & women, & experienced by women are equal (& btw, studies which only ask women about their experiences as victims & only ask men about their experiences as abusers are utterly devoid of credibility when it comes to determining relative rates of domestic violence). Furthermore, emerging research into rape is increasingly finding that men & women rape & are raped at similar rates.<br /><br />However the reason we do not recognise this because women have been regarded by chauvinism as weak, pathetic, helpless (to the point of even needing to be protected from themselves) & perpetually innocent & therefore incapable of harming others because of a survivalist desire to arbitrarily protect the uterus. Conversely a penis, especially an erect penis, is regarded as a sign of perpetual sexual dominance & power by society. Under this worldview, male victims & female perpetrators are arbitrarily dismissed.<br /><br />The moment a man is abused by a woman, it is the man who is shamed for a failure to "be a real man" on his part by both men & women, rather than the female abuser for failing to respect the dignity & humanity of her victim (funny how women being blamed for being heterosexually raped based on how they dressed is abhorrent but a man being blamed for being raped because he has a penis is completely acceptable).<br /><br />This is because men, from the age where they are young boys, are groomed to believe they only have value based on their sexual prowess, their ability to provide & ability to protect - with any need for compassion by them being a failing on their part.<br /><br />The most telling example of this is where the family courts come into play where children born out of female-on-male statutory rape are concerned. Child rape victims as young as 12 are forced to pay their paedophiles child support because their being raped turns them into fathers. Ironic that no one bats an eye at this sort of systematic behaviour when we demand that underage girls who experience rape pregnancies, are given the option of abortions. <br /><br />Highly telling too is the fact that under "primary aggressor laws", male domestic violence victims are arbitrarily arrested on police call-outs - where they will inevitably be raped & subjected to violence as they are assumed to be "wife beaters". This effectively allows female spousal abusers to use the system as a source of rape & aggravated assault against her victim. <br /><br />This is ignoring the fact that female paedophiles in many respects are the last social taboo & that child victims of female paedophiles are almost never believed & almost always excused.<br /><br />Yet feminism merely amplifies this with the arbitrary notion of women exclusively being victims & men exclusively being predators. Furthermore this is underpinned by the ludicrous & zeitgeist based notion of patriarchy - which claims, when taken to its conclusions, that the homeless men of England arbitrarily oppress the Queen. Of course the irony that the underlying worldview of this was the direct impetus for the paternalism which trapped women in the kitchen & bedroom & denied them agency for centuries, should not be lost on anyone.<br /><br />(continued next post)<br />bowspearernoreply@blogger.com
