Comments by "Clint Holmes" (@clintholmes2061) on "Mayim Bialik Blames Hot Women For Sexual Assaults" video.

  1. It was very dumb of Mayim Bialik to say that. All talk of assault should be centered around the perpetrators. It is their fault and no one else's. Period.

  2. Sounded like she was blaming the victim to me. The fact that she was talking about her own life was a way of patting herself on the back for not getting assaulted and telling others why they did. The victims shouldn't be the topic of discussion at all. We only should be talking about the perpetrators of the crimes. It is their fault. No one elses.

  3. Triple regarding, "a lot of women use their looks to land jobs." This is totally irrelevant, has nothing to do with sexual assault, and has no place in this discussion.

  4. MrB most things in the world are very complicated but this one is quite simple actually. I would like to add that I think it is funny to be called a simpleton by someone who only felt the need to use one word.

  5. Slamz regarding, "success(is this the right word?)" It is not the right word but there really isn't a good word for this. The problem is that it implies that women are in control of their own destiny. That "success" is determined by them. It isn't. It is determined by the perpetrators. And when she tells her story of what worked "FOR HER" it implies that victims did something wrong, "FOR THEM."

  6. Triple regarding, "That she never used her looks and thus never was molested." But that isn't why she was never assaulted.

  7. MRost regarding, "you could have done things differently and maybe avoided it. That's not victimblaming." It is, by very definition, victim blaming. You are blaming the victim for not doing things differently. You are implying it was their fault they didn't avoid it. Just because you wrote "it's not your fault and you didn't deserve it" before it doesn't mean you then get to go and say why you think it was their fault and why they did deserve it.

  8. MRost regarding, "They shouldn't have the right to beat my ass." No. They absolutely should not. Regarding, "That's basically your argument." Not exactly.

  9. You make good points but I can't help but think that what she said was in TERRIBLE taste. To me she is very much implying that if you don't want to be assaulted you need to, not be a 10, don't diet, don't have plastic surgery, don't exercise, wear sweatpants, don't flirt and if you do then you share some of the blame.

  10. tech regarding, "Lost about what?" Whatever point you were previously trying to make. Regarding, "What people immediately think of as "hot" or attractive whether it's for men or women is mostly consumer bullshit." Kinda but I don't actually agree with this. Although culture influences us, what we perceive of as hot is something we are born with in my opinion much like our sexual preference is something we are born with. Regarding, "Women aren't admired for their innate talents and intelligence" Sure they are although maybe not to the degree they should be. For example I absolutely find intelligent women more attractive and less intelligent women less attractive. Regarding, "men are mostly judged by the size of their bank accounts." Again although what you are saying is kindof true it is hardly everything. I'm pretty sure Brad Pitt could get laid all he wanted if he were dirt poor. Regarding, "It's cultural garbage like this that leads to destructive behavior by both genders." Humans are innately flawed. Nothing in life is perfect. People are responsible for their actions even if their environment plays a role. Regarding, "Culture influences women look at men as their sugar daddies, so they become permanent infantile children and culture influences men to look at women as something that has no other value than some dolled up sex toy." Still I am unclear as to what the point you are trying to get at is. Does culture influence people? Sure. Do I think people should be able to use culture to excuse behavior? Absolutely not. Is that what you are trying to do?
