[QUOTE="Tiffani, post: 5138660, member: 354261"] Gahars, you're being pedantic, and it takes away from valid points you make. Do you really want to argue over the use of "always" when it comes to 97% vs. 100%. Is that what you really want the discussion to be about? This is like the smokescreens that FOX News uses in their neverending effort to undermine President Obama. The fact that you put up so much resistance to the word "always" is a giveaway that your argument isn't as strong as you would like it to be. In this case you're fighting a losing battle. The facts are, men are responsible for the vast majority of violent crime. That's because women are responsible for the vast majority of emotional crime, ie emotional abuse. We can't use physicality like men can, so we have to do everything we can in other areas to fight dirty. And you are absolutely dead wrong about Sarkeesian coloring the message for you. You know how I know that? Because you completely misunderstood what she was saying.
