  1. Aunt Manda i agree that violent rape is one of the worst crimes. i would categorize it as a type of aggravated assault, and a severe form of it as well. it would be comparable to causing spinal injuries that lead to life long paralysis and dysfunction that destroys the value of life.  it is just that the absolute worst crimes are just a little nastier. aggravated assault that leads to murder (including the rape and murder of a person) is the worst of the worst. it is the big ugly. now this hurts many more people as nobody wants their kid or brother or mother to be killed, especially in a violent manner, so it hurts survivors as well as the victim. (all crimes effect society by having lasting impacts on the victims except for this one which has stronger impacts on survivors).  when a girl is raped and a boy is lit on fire and allowed to burn to death while awake and not on drugs. the boy has suffered the worse crime. boys are overwhelmingly more likely to be killed by fire than girls are. and burning to death is worse than rape.  also don't make assumptions on people's lives. i have experienced many forms of abuse, sexual abuse being among them.

  2. KAM COLORADO the women i talk to say that it is mostly women that don't like women. a lot of them also don't like women and prefer to hang around men. you would be surprised with how many women i have met that told me the first day that i knew them that "they were not like other women". guys on the other hand like pretty women, and women who share their interests (whether pretty or not).

  3. KAM COLORADO many men are abused and controlled, and they need shelters to protect them from their abusive wives. men frequently need protection from each other. (men are the largest group of victims of violent crimes). consider all the boys that boko haram burned alive at their schools, they needed protection. they didn't get protection because of their gender. the girls who were allowed to live, they got help sent their way and international support. girls always get more support than boys, and women always get more support than men.

  4. KAM COLORADO men are the majority of the victims of men. men need more protection from men than women do. women are the majority of the victims of women as well. luckily for women, they aren't half as physically violent as men are, unless their opponent is clearly defenseless.

  5. InMaTeofDeath the problem is in his statement that these are the worst crimes against humanity. they are not. the worst crimes against humanity happen primarily against males.  if you want to say that what females go through is worse than being burned to death than i am all ears on to why that may be the case.  until then i am angry that he said that the WORST crimes against humanity were against women. that is simply false.

  6. InMaTeofDeath in my opinion the worst crime against humanity is aggravated assault leading to murder. during times of war people are literally painfully dissected and dismembered alive as they die. the worst deaths are the ones that are most painful and last the longest thus extending the torture before death occurs. the overwhelmingly majority of these victims are male.  there are numerous sources, pick a war and look at who fought in it and who died in it. see if you can find sources on male and females killed, captured, etc. you will find that in EVERY war that the majority of these people are men.  for my source i will site the incident in nigeria last year when boko heram burned a boys school down, burning the students to death, and shooting to death those who jumped out of windows to escape the flames. a week later they kidnapped a bunch of girls at the girl's school. the public was outraged at the kidnapped girls. the public, much like our former president, seem to ignore the much more violent plight of men and boys.

  7. InMaTeofDeath i am a veteran of operation iraqi freedom and operation enduring freedom. i served in a spearhead unit. i saw who fought, i saw who died. i was shot by a sniper, and i went through the medical echelons, i saw the women and the men who were serving. i served with men, at the time women were not allowed into combat units. we did have a few female drivers attached to us, and we were assigned to protect a police station that had a group of MPs that included some females.  what convinced me was going to war myself. i do not recommend you follow my example. i wouldn't recommend it to anyone, but especially to a woman. a woman might have to be a mother later. war does bad things to the mind, an unfit father is one thing, but an unfit mother at infancy is horrible for a child, and that is bad for society.

  9. InMaTeofDeath i don't think men suffer more than women. i think suffering and happiness are subjective things that are measured against your previous experiences. because each person is solipsistic and experiences the world in a unique and isolated manner i doubt that it is even reasonable to attempt to compare the suffering of one person to the suffering of another. not only would i expect the suffering to be different, i also would expect that the ability to experience suffering would also be different. as such the question of "who suffers more?" can never be addressed in a meaningful and conclusive way.  my claim is that men are the majority of violent actions that result in death. my claim is that murder is a greater crime against humanity than rape.

  12. KAM COLORADO their statistics disagree with each other. https://rainn.org/get-information/statistics/sexual-assault-victims "93% of juvenile sexual assault victims know their attacker.6 34.2% of attackers were family members. 58.7% were acquaintances. Only 7% of the perpetrators were strangers to the victim. For 80% of juvenile victims, the perpetrator was a parent. 6% were other relatives. 4% were unmarried partners of a parent. 5% were "other" (from siblings to strangers).13" 34.2% of attackers are family members, 80% are the parents. all parents are family members. strangers are not family members.

  13. KAM COLORADO i don't think silence is too high on the priorities. a good woman is a kind one who is pretty and smiles often.

  14. women sure are letting society down. how come none of these talks mention that 7 out of 10 male rapists in the united states were raised by a single mother? do we think that the childhood environment of boys has no effect on their adult life?  we do not live in a vacuum. the actions of men effect women, the actions of women effect men, and the actions of parents effect children. many chains of problems are started or perpetuated by women. the same is true of men.
