I am worried that in wake of all that has happened in the past week, people are going to make the generalization that we are all violent psychopaths.

Plus we are prone to taking most things very literally, and may not always understand the vague hints that people give. Yet we won't get a more explicit, definitive answer from them because they're afraid we'll go on a rampage. So it becomes a catch-22 for those of us on the spectrum.

I don't think this #yesallwomen will help either sex in the end.

Had to read up on a few things before i could tie this to the latest feminist blasts that were waging over social media...

This is not a case of someone with just mental issues (as it's seemed to be covered in the news), but more of someone who couldn't get his way by not trying at all and expecting things to come.

I still can't figure out why more women are coming out about rape and whatnot after rejecting someone, though...

can you explain what you mean by this?

So basically after this whole shooting, there have been more women coming out on twitter about how they've been raped and abused from "Entitled" men...

Can't put 2 and 2 together and as to why this hashtag trends after such an incident...

So are we trying to make it illegal to have a sh***y attitude or just hoping to shame everyone into compliance?

when women publicly share their experiences of rape/assault/abuse it has nothing to do with you as an innocent man and everything to do with the women giving the shame of their experiences back to the men who raped/abused/assaulted them, where it belongs.

I swear, the moment WP found out about the California shooting, everything went to Hell.

Because people are speaking out against the hatred of women? How awful.

There's a difference between speaking out against gender inequality and going full blown Salem. It's already becoming the latter.

I'm saying that we shouldn't persecute members on this site for having a negative attitude about relationships, whether the feelings are bona fide or not. Hell, I'm as doom and gloom as the next twenty-year old male virgin who prowls Internet forums, but for God's sake, I wouldn't blow people's heads off over it.

Posting about having a negative issue about relationships isn't against the site rules. It never has been. What is against the site rules is calling women "whores" and other derogatory terms/comments as you have previously done. Just because you've had bad experiences dating doesn't mean you can go around insulting women in general or making women feel unwelcome or frightened to participate on this site.
