Someone needs to be the canary in the coal mine by Commander Tansin A. Darcos 05/29/2013, 6:55am PDT
Whether you agree or disagree with her opinions, and they may be valid or they may not be, it's important that she make them, if, for no other reason then, it allows people to discuss, debate and think about the issue and then to examine the relative validity of her opinions, ranging from 100% realistic (gospel truth) to 0% (total bullshit).

One of the things that went around in the so-called "feminist camp" for a long time is a form of man-hating reverse misogyny (I can't think of the word when women hate men) in which it was said or implied that "all sex is rape," because men never really get consent from women because no woman would want a guy to do the terrible things they do during sex. Well, yeah, if guys are terrible in bed and don't know how to bring a woman to orgasm, yeah, a woman is unlikely to want that. But, this kind of idea and the misguided thinking behind it more-or-less died out when women's attitudes became better known, that most women really do want sex, they like it as much as men, and more than that, if you give a woman pleasure even if it's not during sex, that is, that if you simply finger-fuck her and eat her until she's come a dozen times or more, then proceed to fuck her, she's had her fun and she's not going to mind that she didn't come from vaginal intercourse. Further, if you give a woman good sex, it (obviously) encourages her to want to let you have her again, you practically can't keep her out of the bedroom and off her back. At least, that's what I've noticed in the women I've had.

This is one of the reasons that, even if we don't agree with other people, it's not a bad idea to sometimes listen to people, especially if they espouse views we disagree with, if for no other reason than to find the errors in their arguments. Or maybe discover that our own arguments are incorrect.

I watched a video once of one of the major internationally-known atheists go up against Dinesh D'Sousa, one of the top Christian Apologetics (this is not a slur word; I've heard the term used before for those who argue in favor of the existence of God), and apparently the atheist guy - who I can't remember, it might have been Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris or maybe someone else of that caliber, on a YouTube video, and someone said the other guy was drunk or not up to his usual standards; even I saw that D'Sousa basically mopped and waxed the floor with the guy. So, it's important to watch one of these videos, because when I saw this I said to myself that D'Sousa is the guy to beat, if you can point out his flaws, then his arguments will be shown for the illogic they are. But if you're going to debate him you've got to treat him as a worthy opponent or he's going to use you as a janitorial instrument.

I'm not sure exactly what I think of her arguments, her pointing out how much the "damsel in distress" trope has been the primary plot point in a lot of video games because it's an easy way to justify just about any level of violence, at least got me thinking a bit. Like how rare it is that some woman in trouble doesn't need a man to get her out of the pickle she's in and without her being any less of a woman who likes men for intimacy and romance.

We do a lot of arguing here on occasion about Burn Notice but even though sometimes Fiona gets kidnapped, she doesn't necessarily need Michael to save her, often times, you're thinking about the poor bastards who kidnapped her, how she will rescue herself before Michael can even find the place, and what she is going to do to her kidnappers, and you realize they will, to their surprise, discover that it's not going to be pleasant!
