You are utterly, provably not on this forum to debate if this is your reaction to someone who has honestly tried to contribute, but has called you out on posting something rather extreme and ridiculous.

You're mad at her hurling an unconstructive insult at... LeJackal? I think you might not be aware what you're defending here. Unconstructive insults start to fly when one party can make the safe assumption this isn't in good faith.

I'm not even mad at anyone. I'm really confused at the sudden and uncalled for vitriol. For the record, I was referring to your reaction to me, not to your reaction to the other guy. You flipped your poo poo big stylie at me, for saying "Go plan your next rape" was probably an inopportune choice of words, and that is odd.

If this dude is an arch-nazi-anti-feminist I am utterly unaware, but I would've thought my attempt at contributing to some conversations here would've at least given me half a second of benefit of doubt. Apparently not.

You're a blithering idiot and barging into threads handing out orders to people when you don't even know what's going on is starting to be a habit with you. If getting yelled at hurts your precious fee-fees maybe learn to shut up and read before posting. LeJackal is a rape fetishist who posted unspoilered rape accounts for his own sexual gratification. Just because you're too ignorant to know what was going on doesn't mean you get to boss around the people who do. Shut the gently caress up and confine yourself to posting about things you aren't ignorant about.

Le Jackel is a bad poster and TB is running him off before he shits up the thread. Anyone who's spent time in D&D knows this and that's why no one except you has a problem with it. If you think TB or anyone else with an otherwise good posting reputation seem to overreact, try asking why instead of just assuming it's unjustified because of the tiny portion of the interaction you've been exposed to.

The doctor finished the procedure, then sent the nurse out of the room for bandages. He began wiping Dawn Marie’s knee; she assumed he was cleaning up the iodine. As he calmly asked the then-39-year-old singer about her work, he started dabbing her inner thighs. Her upper thighs. Her buttocks. When Dawn Marie felt his finger penetrate her vagina through her underwear, she froze. “I remember thinking: No, this cannot be.”

It was a conscious decision not to get into some silly flame war by replying in kind to the sort of vitriolic responses I got; instead I tried to ignore them best as I could and replied instead to a post which was rhetorically less of a minefield in an attempt to maybe defuse this a little.

you could have taken your exact "thanks for this explanation" post and posted it as a response to stone cold when she told you the exact same thing early on. that would have defused the situation pretty well. but your feelies were hurt so you had to wait for somebody else. meanwhile we're all completely derailing this thread.

To clarify a little further, LeJackal came into a women's space, and began victim blaming, posting unspoilered accounts of sexual assault, and then arguing with and invalidating the women who called him on it. All of these were acts of violence, and TB is well within her rights to respond aggressively. That you saw her response as being more violent reflects your inner prejudices, and is something I'd also advise reflecting on.

it's closely related. basically, gender archaeology tries to understand gender relations in past cultures on the basis of their material remains. this includes some pretty cool, semi-recent techniques, like food waste analysis and stuff. feminist archaeology is a broader movement that is concerned both with gendering archaeological research and problematizing current practice. the first means making women visible in ancient cultures, the second is a critique of implicit, unacknowledged male bias that leads to distorted findings -- which is bad for everyone! it sucks for women and it's also bad science. this part is what i'm most interested in.

A more correct, dare I say honest statement might read 'arguing with the women who called him a rapist'.
Does denying accusations of being a rapist count as invalidation?

I think that prejudice isn't required to see a distinction between the 'violence' of "is this really true?" versus "you're a rapist".
