Expecting men who exhibit inappropriate behavior to change that behavior is somehow hypocritical? Preferring that people change poor behavior instead of resorting to treating them poorly in return is somehow hypocritical? Not accepting that the target of harassment is inherently responsible for that harassment is somehow hypocritical? I think one of us is confused about the definition of hypocrisy.
And let's talk about targeting people. There are a lot of comments on this thread, and I don't see you going person by person to respond to all of them, nor do I see you making a general comment on the original post. What I do see you doing is responding directly to a comment I made. A comment that wasn't directed at you, in a conversation you weren't a part of, up until you inserted yourself into it. Which is fine, you get to do that, but of all the comments you had to choose from, you chose mine, and you want to say that you didn't "target" me? I find that difficult to believe.
You get to have your opinion, and I'm not offended by your challenging my opinions or ideals. I do wish your challenge was something of actual substance, some new perspective of original insight that was helpful. It has turned out to be sadly unoriginal, even for this thread. Good luck in the world, guardian.

Edited by Durrs: 1/13/2016 11:47:14 PMLike how you completely try to go around what I said. I said the hypocrisy of you expecting men to change but, women are completely fine. And targeting.... you went way off course I responded to your comment based on I disagreed with your statement. That is striking a conversation/debate which two civilized people can have(not an intent of insulting). You tried to target me directly by stating if I didn't agree I must be this. If my perspective is so unoriginal and has no substance, please do enlighten me as of why you completely avoided a logically debate and resorted to criticism. Yes, good day I hope whatever you want to happen unravels for you without effort.

Can you show me a place I said women are completely fine? What I've said is that people on the receiving end of poor behavior shouldn't be blamed for the poor treatment they received. In this context, we're referring to your comment that "men and boys will be boys", which sets up the men's behavior as a focus. You want to accuse me of hypocrisy over something I didn't actually say and dismiss what I did say; that the boys will be boys argument is insulting to both men and women except not really according to you because hormones. That's pretty unoriginal and without substance, and I'm not sure why I owe you any debate at all.
