I would consider myself, as you have so condescendingly described it, a 'feminist activist type'
And I think you're doing most reasonable feminists (suprise, that is actually most feminists!)a bit of a disservice and playing into a tired stereotype of feminists all being irrational 'feminazis'. There is a major difference between rape allegations and convictions, I would agree with you without any kind of outrage at all. I would be interested to hear what your point was in making that statement though, and then I might feel a little more annoyed. But then again, maybe you have a valid point and I won't feel annoyed at all. It's so crazy how my lady brain can be rational, just like yours!

I think I troll for the majority when I say we're going to need to see boobies I am afraid.

Uh uh,
Never feed a troll- that's like, rule number one. So no boobies for you.

Too bad, you can't do that with them either.

Well, bear in mind this is a question of trolling
so the idea of patronisingly stating the obvious is to sarcastically imply that the person doesn't know this and should. It refers to the perceived tendency of feminists, and women, to treat alleged rapists as 'guilty until proven innocent, and even then probably guilty but lucky'.

The troll in this scenario is rebuking a stereotypical viewpoint that they have attributed without evidence to said feminist. The baiting here is twofold, firstly implying in an infuriatingly fallacious manner that the target is stupid, and secondly (depending on the temperaments of the troller and trollee) opening up the possibility of the introduction of the viewpoint that, as the justice system is satisfactory and anyone not found guilty is innocent, people not convicted of rape must necessarily be falsely accused and that the accusers are mean-spirited liars who understand that allegations of rape can utterly raze a man's reputation. I understand that argument can rub people up the wrong way.

These aren't my views. I would be an ardent feminist if I had but the intelligence. As it is I use my status as a thicko to understand what stupid people think.

It was the tacking on at the end of 'expect a hell of a reaction' which made what you were saying seem as if you found it funny (and true) that feminists would blow their top immediately at the statement. Like you might not do it but thought it was funny how the silly wimmins would get all worked up over someone saying something which is yes, patronising and sarcastic! Can you see how it would come across that way?

I had a look at your other posts and agreed with you on your top rated one, and was interested to see that you actually identified as feminist. But this post comes across as encouraging the trolling of feminists (which happens a lot, and isn't all that funny: tigerbeatdown.com/2010/12/18/mooreandme-four-days-outside-the-tower-im-scared-im-tired-im-crying-and-i-wont-stop/) and buying into believing the stereotyped reaction that you'll get(i.e. angry, irrational), which I thought was unfair.
