    I think that when people experience real violence they lose the illusion that the really violent people are people who can be reasoned with, who might only be missing a bit of argumentation but otherwise perfectly able to live virtuously.

    What I’m saying is that I think you don’t have any experience with this because if you did you would understand what you think of as the solution isn’t effective at all.

      What are you even talking about? I’ve never claimed a single solution. I’ve just pointed out that it’s a good idea to avoid men who are apparently like you along with the ones actually committing the violence. In some ways you’re worse because you should know better.

      Just like I should know better than to have a conversation with an obvious bad actor, but here we are. At least I have enough brains to change my mind when I realize I’m wrong.

        Certainly not in the ways that matter. We are talking about rape and murder here, and you’re comparing it to me disagreeing with you, and saying that “in some ways” my disagreeing with you is worse than raping and murdering you.

        That is so far out of touch I don’t know how to respond to it other than to point out how absurd it is.
