My sex misconceptionsFreddy Woo writes, "aged eight, a boy from my class told me everything these was to know about sex: male prostitutes are called destitutes and women use tampons to stop men sticking their willies up them. Also, women pee out their bums, something I didn't realise was wrong until I was about 18 and my first girlfriend looked at me aghast."

jennymnemonicfinally injects some balance into this series of replies. Thanks, I would have put it far more clumsily myself.

And the nastyvein of misogyny is in people immediately assuming that because this girl made comments about Kiss.Me's actions being outrageous and tantamount to rape (which I don't agree with), that she would hypocritically believe that equivalent actions against men would be justified.
Nowhere did she mention or allude to any attitude towards men that could be considered a double standard, in fact she didn't even mention reactions towards men at all.
Instead, repliers wished to label her as a bunnyboiler and an irrational hypocrite, a misogynistic stereotype of an overly self-righteous woman who believes men are at the same time pigs and deserving of painful revenge. From what I have seen, she is not.

that's not the point...the point is that we see post after post of women saying they did X or Y to a fella they thought was cheating and the (predominantly male) board laughs along and takes it all in good humour, yet the minute a guy says he did something silly to get back at a girl who hurt him, betrayed him and potentially risked his health, he gets slammed by some nutjob with a grudge (whether real or imagined), who then gets the unconditional support of female posters based on the simple fact she is female, thus any male poster who criticizes her must be a sexist pig.
I'm not a sexist, I just think there is a huge double standard at work here.

I think...Cheating on your partner is wrong,
I think assault on a woman's genetals in whatever form it takes is fucking REALLY wrong.
