Sort of like the predictable hair-tearing and shit-losing that will accompany the publishing of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in a week or so.

If I walked into you house and dumped a pail of dog's waste in your living room Kurska Feb 2015 #11

Excellent response! NaturalHigh Feb 2015 #21

Thanks! Kurska Feb 2015 #25

As much as I understand what you are saying marym625 Feb 2015 #44

Rape is incredibly important topic and so is consent. Kurska Feb 2015 #46

As I said, I understand your complaint marym625 Feb 2015 #51

Well, of course it's important. But it's MORE important to make sure headlines are worded correctly kcr Feb 2015 #101

LOL. whathehell Feb 2015 #129

Haha! marym625 Feb 2015 #176

You're saying that women have no right to be angry about this. Ken Burch Feb 2015 #114

I will wait for statistics since 2010 marym625 Feb 2015 #172

You didn't answer my question marym625 Feb 2015 #174

Wait a minute, buddy. WhiteTara Feb 2015 #108

There's no way you can seriously argue that men are collectively victimized by this title. Ken Burch Feb 2015 #112

The cynical part of me, liberalhistorian Feb 2015 #136

Sounds about right. Ken Burch Feb 2015 #138

You consider an advisory on how liberalhistorian Feb 2015 #135

yeah Warren DeMontague Feb 2015 #73

Aren't like, literally, 99%+ of convicted rapists men? phleshdef Feb 2015 #37

Did they ever teach you in school Kurska Feb 2015 #55

Why not just respond "I stand four square against rape and rape apologists"? CTyankee Feb 2015 #105

I may be male, but AtheistCrusader Feb 2015 #38

The title wasn't saying "every man alive" is a rapist. Ken Burch Feb 2015 #111

As a man, this appears addressed to me. Should I be thanking you? flvegan Feb 2015 #5

you took offense, and blasted me for someone else's words. please notice the attribution at the end niyad Feb 2015 #6

"I'm not responsible for it!" Kurska Feb 2015 #9

You posted it. flvegan Feb 2015 #10

[PSA] Vegans, stop being such assholes! Bonobo Feb 2015 #12

Except I AM an asshole. Right? Sigh, Bonobo, I'm so confused. flvegan Feb 2015 #18

You cannot prove that I meant to imply that. nt Bonobo Feb 2015 #29

Apparently, the same thing over and over again. Kurska Feb 2015 #13

What matters is the truth of the article, not the tone. Ken Burch Feb 2015 #115

Even if I may not be so absolutist about that, I agree that focusing on the "tone" misses the point nomorenomore08 Feb 2015 #143

In what play did these words of Shakespeare appear? WhiteTara Feb 2015 #110

exactly! niyad Feb 2015 #137

+2 nomorenomore08 Feb 2015 #144

No flvegan, it is not addressed to you. sheshe2 Feb 2015 #15

Where? Kurska Feb 2015 #16

it's not calling men rapists. It's telling men to stop JUSTIFYING rape. alp227 Feb 2015 #39

Justifying, downplaying, dismissing, any of the ways in which we do harm by omission. n/t nomorenomore08 Feb 2015 #145

No man other than you is taking the article as male-bashing. Ken Burch Feb 2015 #116

"the article would have been too safe and bland to matter." nomorenomore08 Feb 2015 #146

As a man, I'm obviously in many eyes am an idiot based on that. Bigotry be damned. flvegan Feb 2015 #17

Single line 75% of the "men are all rapists spiel" Kurska Feb 2015 #19

Maybe you should. LeftyMom Feb 2015 #26

The OP is written in the most dismissive and insulting manner possible. Kurska Feb 2015 #31

You mean it reads like every other article on Wonkette? That's shocking. LeftyMom Feb 2015 #32

Literally what Kurska Feb 2015 #33

I'm addressing content. You're upset about Wonkette's house style. LeftyMom Feb 2015 #36

Tone is part of messaging. Kurska Feb 2015 #41

Take a look at these. Might help you understand why people get tired of hearing "Not all men." F4lconF16 Feb 2015 #45

Tone does matter, sorry it does. Kurska Feb 2015 #50

You seem quite emotional about this. boston bean Feb 2015 #90

... nomorenomore08 Feb 2015 #149

"ANGER at the target audience... is going to make the message way less effective." nomorenomore08 Feb 2015 #147

The article only attacked rapists. Ken Burch Feb 2015 #117

The other title is too meaningless and without dignity to matter. Ken Burch Feb 2015 #118

Read this, still doubtful. flvegan Feb 2015 #35

"Addressing the class for one idiot" is something we do all the time as a society. LeftyMom Feb 2015 #40

...and it's no way to run the room. flvegan Feb 2015 #56

You're actually missing the moral of your own parable: LeftyMom Feb 2015 #61

You should scroll back up. n/t flvegan Feb 2015 #62

So it's okay for society to remind Muslims that they shouldn't kill people over cartoons, then. Warren DeMontague Feb 2015 #78

Your plan will be handily defeated by an internet meme saying "Not All Muslims". nt Bonobo Feb 2015 #79

I suspect there is some complicated algorithm which can justify bemoaning the broad-brushing of one Warren DeMontague Feb 2015 #80

When 1/4 of cartoonists suffer violence, yeah, we probably should. LeftyMom Feb 2015 #123

Just reading through the thread marym625 Feb 2015 #178

Bravo! smirkymonkey Feb 2015 #140

Lol! Sheldon Cooper Feb 2015 #107

And this even applies if your name happens to be Roman Polanski, Nye Bevan Feb 2015 #14

When Whoopi Goldberg said that, I refused to be a fan of hers Jamastiene Feb 2015 #58

Absolutely! Xyzse Feb 2015 #127

Thanks niyad. sheshe2 Feb 2015 #20

That is what is never really addressed. Jamastiene Feb 2015 #60

OK. Thanks for the tip tkmorris Feb 2015 #22

As I'm sure you know, most men are completely unaware of this. NaturalHigh Feb 2015 #23

PSA stands for "Public Service Announcement" Bonobo Feb 2015 #24

That doesn't mean it is an accusation against all men. AtheistCrusader Feb 2015 #42

Uh... Whatnow? quakerboy Feb 2015 #67

Well, then. I'm sure going to start having a fit about those PSAs about littering. I don't litter! kcr Feb 2015 #102

Does DU need this PSA? Do we have members LittleBlue Feb 2015 #28

This message was self-deleted by its author Hissyspit Feb 2015 #34

Sometimes people take information they find here, and disseminate it elsewhere, because it is of AtheistCrusader Feb 2015 #43

Yeah, they'll tell their child raping friends to stop raping LittleBlue Feb 2015 #48

There is a real problem in this country with a large percentage of the population not understanding AtheistCrusader Feb 2015 #49

You don't think that LittleBlue Feb 2015 #52

You assume negative intentions. AtheistCrusader Feb 2015 #54

thank you. I thought I had this poster saved, and could not find it!! niyad Feb 2015 #128

There have been numerous threads here that Jamastiene Feb 2015 #63

Except, the child is saying "no" twice in the OP LittleBlue Feb 2015 #64

What is a child? Go Vols Feb 2015 #30

There is a discussion to be had, certainly. But probably not on this particular thread. nomorenomore08 Feb 2015 #153

PSA: No, women, you cannot drown your children in the bathtub. Warren DeMontague Feb 2015 #47

Winner! Egnever Feb 2015 #57

Ugh, I can't wait for some stupid person to come here and go. Kurska Feb 2015 #59

I agree, women should not drown their children in a bathtub. boston bean Feb 2015 #88

It's not derailment. Everyone knows, from the author down, how people are going to take the wording Warren DeMontague Feb 2015 #91

You are right warren, the way the english language is spoken boston bean Feb 2015 #92

Im suggesting that if you have a problem with "PSA: No, Muslims, you can't hijack airplanes" Warren DeMontague Feb 2015 #94

I don't need to ask myself anything Warren. You are the one using that boston bean Feb 2015 #96

Yeah, right. Warren DeMontague Feb 2015 #97

I got your point... yes I did. boston bean Feb 2015 #98

I got his point, as well October Feb 2015 #109

If 1 in 4 Americans were the victims of Muslim attacks, I think that message would be totally legit. nomorenomore08 Feb 2015 #154

The intent of the headline of the article is to make ALL men guilty of child molestation Yavin4 Feb 2015 #65

Right on cue, they arrive. Starry Messenger Feb 2015 #66

Yep. Warren DeMontague Feb 2015 #69

Yeah, that's pretty stupid too. The hundreds-of-posts-long threads on that subject are quite nomorenomore08 Feb 2015 #155

Has anyone informed Kalli Joy Gray that women are running around raping kids, too? Warren DeMontague Feb 2015 #68

wow another derailment. boston bean Feb 2015 #89

Actually the op is specifically about adults exploiting children Warren DeMontague Feb 2015 #93

Except that statistics warren will tell you that hella lot more men rape boston bean Feb 2015 #95

Pamela Smart was a nasty villian. RiffRandell Feb 2015 #185

Jeez - you could win blackout bingo with that card on DU sometimes. cyberswede Feb 2015 #103

What is the actual purpose of these sorts of PSAs and blog posts? cemaphonic Feb 2015 #71

PSA: No, Muslims, you can't murder a newspaper office full of cartoonists even if they make you mad. Warren DeMontague Feb 2015 #72

No Jews, you can't steal my money! nt Bonobo Feb 2015 #74

That is a pernicious lie. Jews are the only people on Earth who NEVER steal money. Warren DeMontague Feb 2015 #75

He "made off" with all their money! nomorenomore08 Feb 2015 #164

I give you credit - nice flamebait. NaturalHigh Feb 2015 #77

Hear, hear! smirkymonkey Feb 2015 #148

Thank you for articulating the problem so perfectly. nomorenomore08 Feb 2015 #156

I'm almost getting concerned for their health. betsuni Feb 2015 #160

Excellent content! JustAnotherGen Feb 2015 #85

If the title had further stated Rappers vs "All you rapers" laserhaas Feb 2015 #99
