I am not sure I quite understand that, but if aimed at my comment I can only say it is based on what I have seen in my own country. Outside of that, the information on the occurrence and attitude towards rape for different parts of the world is easy to find.
That said it was rather reaction to the suggestion that men are hard done by. Whenever you read any of my posts you have to keep in mind I have a very strange outlook on life, for example, the fact that we pay our entertainers and sports people (male of female) vastly more than those that care for others and save lives seem morally wrong to me, so as you see a very strange outlook.
If my posts are upsetting to anyone I am more than happy to have them removed.

You're not upsetting me at all. But as Me195 points out "identity politics" has reared it's ugly head and I just don't want to get involved.I am not sure I quite understand that, but if aimed at my comment I can only say it is based on what I have seen in my own country.

In real life violence against men or women is equally despicable. However, in the fiction of all available media, Violence against women and children is considered more cringeworthy.
It certainly is considered that way. Frankly, my gut reaction is to be more bothered by women getting hurt and it probably always will be. But I recognize that this is sexist.
it's both sexist to men to imply their lives matter less than womens', and sexist to women to imply they need more protection from fictional depictions of something that happens to them less.
I'm bowing out too.
State your views then run for the hills? Curtail debate by free thinking people?
Seriously? Surprising.
Still, the OP ran for the hills first due to the digression of the thread so I suppose you're not alone.

You see, this is why I asked that the thread be locked. I used to have some respect for you, caisson. Consider that past tense. Once again, ANYONE who has any questions about my intentions in this thread only has to actually read (assuming you have the ability to do so) the first three posts.@eclark1894 - nope; trying to make the point that it is much less common. Look, you created a provocatively titled thread (I don't believe that anyone could be unaware that the word 'slut' is used as a slur against women), then followed it up with what I would call whataboutery. Surely you can't be surprised to be called on it

Screw this.
Heck, I initially clicked on this thread because I was wondering the answer to that question myself - though I have my own opinions, I did wonder if there was some item out there in the community that was used as a specific reference. I do not think it was an unreasonable or offensive question to have asked given the term does pop up in a number of conversations across various 3D forums.
It does justify asking about it.Just because the term is used doesn't mean it should be used.
