/v/Showerthoughts is a subverse for you to share all those thoughts, ideas, or philosophical questions that race through your head while in the shower.
"Showerthought" is a loose term that applies to any thought you might have while carrying out a routine task like showering, driving, or daydreaming.
Please be respectful of others' submissions. If you disagree, explain why in the comments. Downvoats are reserved for submissions you don't like or comments that do not add to the discussion, not opinions with which you disagree.
RULES
-
Please refrain from shower "observations;" we've heard them all before
-
Ideas for Voat features should be posted in /v/ideasforvoat, even if you think of them while in the shower
The spirit of this subverse's rules is to foster a community where dissent, free thought, and open discussion are tolerated, limited only to trolling, excessive abuse, site-breaking rules, or content that is better suited for another subverse. All moderation activity should operate within this spirit.

I never said that. Nor did I at any point suggest that you aren't entitled to your own opinion on what is and isn't acceptable. The one, single point that I am arguing is thus:
A point you made in response to a picture posted by /u/derram, in which, judging by your subsequent posts on the topic, you presumably take issue with the implication that "unwanted sexual intercourse with a woman" constitutes rape.

I'm sure it has happened somewhere in the universe, but being forcibly sexually assaulted by females is so statistically rare as to be absurd to discuss, let alone legislate. I'd further suggest that such a crime would be sexual assault, felonious assault, or molestation, as opposed to rape. The picture had absolutely nothing to do with 'supremacy', which was the initial complaint, followed by the ridiculous assertion that marauding females are prowling the streets assaulting men, ruining them for life.
As the PC culture takes over, we'll see many definitions tested, and expanded, to embrace as many 'victims' as possible. Perhaps that's where the real issue lies for me. :)

Which is exactly how rape against women was treated -- dismissed, derieded, reclassified -- until people began to highlight precisely how big of a problem it actually is. Now, you'd be a fool to say such things about "rape" as you define it. Rest assured, though, it does happen. And frankly, perpetuating myths about the subject, regardless of your personal beliefs, puts you squarely on the wrong side of history.
