I was not bashing - you are a male basher - wear it proudly

Femi-nazi was a joke and I think you know that.

I am NOT a male basher. I am PRO female and children. I abhore the way men get preferential treatment in this world. I abhore the way women and children are treated. and I speak out about it. it is a fact that women and children are treated like second class citizens compared to men. if that makes me femi-nazi, then so be it.

If society treated everyone equal you wouldnt hear a peep outa me.
until that day comes, I plan on shouting loud and long that what is going on is unequal, unjust and should stop.

How am I a chauvinist? Clearly I was joking about your nails, etc., in this thread - or has all humor gone from SA?

But, if that is your def., I wear it proudly.

okay, it's a joke. Just the fact you thought of it is yucky to me. Plus when you said something something "but that's what I would expect from a girl".
But we'll say it's a joke. It's just not my favorite kind of joke, I guess. It's almost like a racist joke, to me. But then I really do not make male specific jokes myself. Never really even think of it. But you're from the south, though, so maybe that explains it...
Anyway, if you were joking in your head, I'll just chill out about it right now. I made that southern joke so we could call it even.

To say something nice, I've rarely encountered such a gentleman. (when I met you in real life).

As for the *device* I think it's an awesome idea. Barbaric? Isn't humiliating and degrading a female by ripping off her clothes and inserting your penis while she screams and crys barbaric? The device is something that should have been invented a long time ago. Time to turn the tables. I haven't been raped but i know somebody who has (don't we all?) and anybody who even attempts to do that to a female deserves this and much more. BIG props for that little gizmo.

(See how I controlled my gutter mouth )

I made it through the first five pages of this thread but don't have time to read the whole thing so sorry if any of this got covered.

I can't believe anybody would be opposed to this device. I can see some of the reasons I guess but I think the outcome (which is paralyzing the man temporarily so the chick can get away and then later having proof he's a rapist) is the goal. I know somebody who was raped and she has never fully gotten over it. I didn't really understand that it's more than physical. It's humiliating. You don't have to hate guys (I LOVE guys) to know that some of them have used their strength over women to brutalize them since the beginning of time. Then it goes to court, not enough proof or, worse, the chick was wearing a short skirt and it gets thrown out and he walks away to do it again and again and again while she gets herself a good shrink. Yep, that's exactly what happened to the chick I know. I was as pissed off as her and that was just one case and I happened to know the victim. Pepper spray or mace is useless if her hands are pinned down. This device give proof and a temporary stun (NOT revenge) to give her time to get away. This thing has nothing to do with revenge. I bet a small minority of females would use it on their husbands/bfs/whatever. Less than that. Easy solution if that happens? The chick gets fined/sentenced herself for brutality or domestic abuse.

One thing that it wouldn't cover is the crime of *acquaintance rape*. If it's a guy you know, he'd just say you wanted it. Then again, if she wanted it, why would she be wearing the thing? It's probably not perfect but I think it's the closest thing a woman has had to defending herself in a situation like that EVER. Just my opinion.

We may have to change that to GrandMaster in the near future. I'll notify you by fax if that day ever comes.
