Do you think most rape victims would appreciate you using something so incredibly traumatic to illustrate absurdity?
Nope. And hopefully understanding the reality of the Republican Party will sway them from supporting them. Republicans have very clearly shown they think women are for breeding, and have often sided with the rapist, or gone easy on them. After all, the leader of their party is a convicted ~~rapist~~ sexual abuser.
Now stop your poor attempt at empathy, we all know you’re just doing this to bully people online.
I'm sorry, but thinking it's okay to upset rape victims to earn political points does not make you any better than Republicans who also make light of rape.
Also, how the fuck does empathizing with rape victims bully anyone?
Are you seriously badmouthing the concept of empathy? Also, for the record, I empathize with rape victims because I know multiple rape victims.
Edit: for that matter, you almost certainly do too. But I can understand why they would be reluctant to to talk to you about it.
Not a single thing in that entire post is true.
Everything was true. 🥫🔪
"Nuh-huh" is not a rational defense of a post that was 100% false.
But is was 100% true, and simply saying it is false doesn’t mean it is false, or that it deserves further evidence. If we want to play the burden game, it’s up to you to prove me wrong.
That is not how the burden of proof works. You made the claims. It is not my job to prove you aren't lying, it's yours.

So go for it. You won't be able to because every single thing you said was a lie, but do go for it.
Which part of the since removed comment would you like me to prove?
Absolutely any of it. It’s still in the mod log. You can find any bit of it and prove it. Go for it. By the way, attempting to give just one example of what you’re talking about is not proof.
All anyone needs to do is look through your own history and mod log to find evidence. And since we both know you’re going to say “that proves nothing” to anything I give you, why would I even humor you? Denial is your only weapon, and I don’t need to convince you that you’re a bad person. 😘
If that's all one needs to do, then do it.
You won't, because you were lying.
Everything I said, I believe to be 100% true.
