Some guy is still trying to convince me I shouldn't kick an attempted rapist in the nuts.
Some guy probably ought to shut his pie hole before he gets kicked in the nuts just for being a tool.
It's possible that he's in the land of perpetual Wednesday, or the crazy melty land, or you know, the world without shrimp.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
billy, why would he be raped? Rape happens to girls! Who were probably dressed improperly.
Yeah, this is largely my thinking. The guy clearly can only identify with the one injury under discussion. Rape's something that happens to other people. He could stand to be reminded that male rape is not unknown.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ha! I've done been told.
"Two wrongs don't make a right."
I'm still not getting the second wrong in the scenario, but I did tell him that it was offensive to imply there was a wrong being done in response to attempted rape or murder (which, seriously, is what I was restricting my comments to, not even just a plain old punching exchange).
Dude, that's not what "turn the other cheek" means, you know?

Some guy is still trying to convince me I shouldn't kick an attempted rapist in the nuts. I keep asking him if he'd rather I tear his arm out of the socket, but he keeps evading the question. Maybe brain damage? I'm definitely not allowed to poke them in the eye as they attempt to poke me in the vagina, I've been informed.
I think if someone is trying to rape you, not kicking them hard in the windpipe or back of the neck after you've dropped them is showing courtesy.

He doesn't get a vote.
Besides, legally if somebody assaults you, then you are totally allowed to kick a guy in the nuts until they both explode.

It's not wrong to kick a rapist in the nuts. Not in my ethics. Not in anybody's ethics.
Except this guy.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I kind of want to ask this guy why he's so invested in defending the rights of a rapist. Is he still secretly (or not) hung up on the idea that women are probably just falsely accusing men?

Stopping the commission of a crime is not a wrong. Dumbass.
My mom's native Spanish-born (well, technically Basque, but she will refer to herself as a Spaniard) is totally giving me the rundown on Madrid and surrounds, where she's lived and explored. AWESOMECAKES.

Goddamn, it is windy out. I just had to retrieve my can lids. And they are chained up pretty closely to a post.
