    No, I never make personal attacks or ad hominem. The fact that you’ve stooped to this level shows that your argument has failed and you cannot use logic or reasoning to back it up.

    What does it say that you’ve downvoted the message “Personal attacks are not welcome here”. I think everyone should support that message.

      You made a personal attack when you put words in my mouth and forced me to take a position I never held.

      I’m defending myself accordingly.

          Theunknownmuncher said that I trivialize the experience of human rape victims. I never said anything that would trivialize their experiences. I advocated for broadening the scope of what we call rape to more than just humans. It’s anthropocentric to think that only humans can be raped.

          Does this sub encourage bad faith discussions? That seems to be against the principle of civility.

            i think it’s reasonable to say that when you compare a veterinary procedure to rape.

            I’ve never contested this. We agree on this point. Continuing to argue it is a strawman.

              Then why won’t you say that artificial insemination IS rape?

              Because that’s my whole argument. It has been my whole argument, and will continue to be my whole argument, regardless of how much you try to derail the conversation.

                Because it is not true.

                regardless of how much you try to derail the conversation.

                Actually, I’m the only one who has stayed on topic and avoided strawman arguments here.
