You didn't read my post correctly.

Either that, or you don't know how to read.

No you are right. You're always right. I don't know how to read.

Hey, stupid , answer this one question:

Is AIDS an STD?

How many STD's get transferred via blood?

AIDS can be transferred via sex but it's not restricted to just sex like real STD's. Calling AIDS an STD is reaching.

I find it truly entertaining and hypocritical for feminists to cry about equality and immediately throw out the "man shouldn't hit a woman" card.

You can't have it both ways.

If there is to be true equality, women are going to get hit. If a man were to infect a woman with an STD, I would completely expect for said man to get a beat down. Same goes for a woman.

If one gay man gives it to another gay man, I expect a beat down. If one lesbian gives it to another, I expect a beat down.

This is a life altering event.

If I may shed a bit of light on the feminist perspective:

Firstly, there is no one group of "the feminists." Feminism is a collective of theories and approaches that are often vastly different: radical feminism, liberal feminism, intersectional feminism, and on, and on, and on.

Secondly, as a feminist, my position on domestic violence and sexualized violence has more to do with the systemic suppression and acceptance of such violence, than with the violence itself. Women can be assholes. Men can be assholes. Any combination of women and men, or men and men, or women and women, can be assholes to each other and inflict both physical and emotional pain on each other. In all situations, it is equally ed up and inappropriate, as far as I'm concerned.

The difference, however, is that when you have a situation in which someone in a position of systemic power (in this country: men) inflicts physical or emotional pain on someone in a position of systemic weakness (in this country: women), it perpetuates and reinforces the position of women in this country as an oppressed group. Especially when it becomes normalized or justified as acceptable or understandable. Or, even worse, joked about.

Furthermore, I have a problem with it in terms of social stigma and available resources. Chris Brown and Rihanna are both wealthy, so they're less of a concern in this regard, but for many feminists the domestic violence issue is particulalrly troubling for the many ways in which our society encourages someone to stay with a partner who is abusing them. And I say partner here for a reason: women who are battered by their male partners, men who are battered by their female partners, women who are battered by female partners, and men who are battered by male partners are all in the same boat, here. Our society makes it very difficult to admit that we're in this situation or to attain the help necessary to get out of an abusive situation. Especially in cases in which, for example, a wife may be dependent on her abusive husband's income to support her children.

That is (part of) why (some) feminists take issue with domestic violence. Not because we think women are delicate flowers in need of special treatment or protections.

Were all women appalled by the John Wayne Bobbitt incident?

Or, were there women (highly likely) that said that he deserved what he got?

Where do you women stand?

I was appalled. I know some women who weren't. We don't have a collective hive mind, you know.

[CuckingFunt]

Fair enough. Please stop ruining my fun though.

But... ruining your fun is actually my fun. Are you suggesting that your fun automatically supersedes mine?

AIDS is not an STD?

Not only are you a gay loving boy band , you're also stupid as .

[MiamiHeat]

ok so this rhianna girl is some rapper and chris brown is another rapper

who the cares. rap glorifies superficial , worships/idolizes women's body parts, promotes violence, blah blah blah

movin on. women get beat down everyday. this couple are a bunch of rappers, so they aren't any more special than anyone else.

now if it was actually someone important, like maybe paul mccartney beatin down on a woman..

All this and you're still okay with a man hitting a woman for giving him herps as long as it's just one slap.

I said specifically that I wasn't okay with it. I said I could understand it, which is different.

[peewee's lovechild]

That makes much more sense.

[MiamiHeat]

i'd also like to add :

she deserved more than that. she ruined his life. herpes cannot be cured. he's ed. she knew she had herpes and didn't tell him.

in some cultures, death penalty is required for this crap. this is horrible.

Hey, stupid , answer this one question:

Is AIDS an STD?

what the does it matter if its an STD or not you absolute moron! The consequences of acquiring AIDS are so far worst than that of herpes that your argument is ing ludicrous. Not all STDs are the same jackass.

[smeagol]

I agree with everything but the highlighted part. Only a woman would make a statement like that. As I said before nobody is beyond an ass whipping.

I'm a man and I'm saying the same thing.

No real man should ever hit a woman. Period. No ifs or buts.

[desflood]

Prove that before you slander her some more.

would you rather tell a new potential lover that you have aids? or herpes? uh huh....

[MiamiHeat]

that's what i read in this thread. search through it and find whoever posted it first and go ask them to prove it cause that's where i read it.

I like how you didn't answer the question.

As for consequences, there isn't any consequences to having the herps?

Dumbass.

[smeagol]

There are more assholes posting at ST then what I thought.
