Approaching women

[CLOUD 500]

i dont understand, does that mean that women are dating each other? because the population is basically 50-50 men and women

I am seeing a lot of women dating other women. I have known some strippers for several years and they dated men, but now they got a girlfriend. It is getting more common especially among strippers.

^^^^ As for the men, many are being left single.

False equivalency that men being raped is an issue like women being raped.

I stand by what I said. It is a reality for many men on a daily basis.

I will share this on this topic. If anyone has ever seen the movie "Deliverance" 1972 with Burt Reynolds, and Jon Voight among others, they would know there was a brutal rape scene in the movie. It was a man, raping another man, and telling him to "squeal like a pig boy", a subtle hint at what this rapist was doing on the farm in Appalachia growing up, lol!

Before the movie was released feminist organizations in the US, and indeed globally, protested loudly about this rape scene and the depiction of another man raping another man.

Why?

Precisely because it was another man raping another man, and not a woman, therefore it did not benefit their cause. Yes, men understand that women are raped by men, no doubt about that. What seems to fall by the wayside is that men rape other men, and it is never talked about. One needs to venture no further than any prison in Canada or the US where this is a daily occurrence and reality. Men do not talk about this shame.

Shame on these feminist organizations for attempting to deny a male reality, rape. They are the same organizations that attempted to have misandry eradicated from the dictionary and failed miserably, just like they did with the rape scene from Deliverance.

I've read that some protested the movie because of its perceived stereotyping of southern Appalachia. It was certainly a controversial movie. Could you share some (responsible) journalism on the feminist protests, which I hadn't heard about?

You will have to do the research yourself, it was widely reported at the time of the movie's release. I remember it well as a young boy in the early 1970s.

In terms of the perceived stereotyping of southern Appalachia that was very much an issue as well. Indeed, you are correct it was a very controversial movie that pushed the boundaries of what was considered hush-hush topics of the day.

I also remember the movie as a young boy in the 1970s. Quite something. Burt Reynolds became a bit of a Hollywood parody, but he could command a scene. I did some google searches and couldn't find anything about feminist protests, but perhaps I didn't google hard enough.

It's an excellent movie. One could make the argument that it was the best performance of Burt Reynolds career, along with Boogie Nights which he made in 1997. However it's Ned Beatty who gets raped and Reynolds who kills the rapist in the movie.
