Correct. But your rights and and his lack of right to harm you are of little consolation when he simply does so. So how to successfully refuse to tolerate someone firing an automatic weapon at you?
Irrelevant. Society doesn't "tolerate" such things by making them illegal in the first place, and by severely disapproving of the people who do them. My inability to stop bullets with my mind is irrelevant to the fact that you do not have an inherent right to harm people who don't give you what you want.

Oh, no one's entitled to sex. And no one's entitled to safety, either.
Actually, society makes many efforts to ensure people's physical safety and many court cases have been filed and won over the failure of a business to provide for safety. And not having a "right to safety" doesn't translate into a "right to kill."

Wait a minute, are you saying that having sex with a man for you is like getting eaten alive by a lion?
Yes.
Having sex with a man I don't want to have sex with is psychologically and physically damaging for me. I fail to see why I should have to physically and psychologically damage myself by having sex with a man I don't want to have sex with. Other people have feelings besides yourself, and your "hurt feelings" are not inherently more important than their "hurt feelings."
Quote:
heart-breaking disdain and hostility for a condition truly more painful than you have imagined. What's a few pity f*cks to possibly save a few more lives?
Because George is responsible for his own actions (not "women") and women have a right to dictate what happens to their own bodies. You do not have any inherent rights to another person's body. Slavery has been illegal in the U.S. and most of the world for a very long time.
You seem to think that having "hurt feelings" overrides the right another person has over his/her own body. It doesn't.

If he was caught alive, I think he should have gotten the death penalty. What about you?
I don't believe in the death penalty.
