Right wing clickbait. They definitely used "hysteria" knowing it adds an extra layer of troll.

"Hysteria, in its colloquial use, describes unmanageable emotional excesses." I think that's exactly what's going on here. i couldn't think of a better word.

It's blatant trolling when you use charged language (albeit language which has an apt dictionary definition) with a history rooted in "unmanageable emotional excess" of anyone possessing ovaries, a problem which traditionally was treated with vibrators.

Using charged language like this is not at all accidental.

So language like "hate fuck=rape" isn't somehow emotionally charged, designed to make it impossible to defend people without defending "rapists"?

[–]aradil 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

My argument was that we shouldn't use charged language. "Hate fuck" is clearly charged language. Charged language a large reason for why this entire mess is happening right now.

I think you got the exact opposite of what I intended out of my comment.

But I understand your point -- equating "hate fuck" to rape is a similar problem. I'm not trying to defend the irrational people on that side of the discussion, there's plenty of idiocy going around here on all sides of the argument.

Man, you people are so sensitive about every little fucking detail. You go out of your way to be offended. I can only imagine how tiresome it must be.

Not tiresome at all.

Many people on the other side of the fence response exactly the same way when being told they are part of "rape culture". The textbook definition of rape culture fits our culture perfectly, and we are all part of that culture. That being said, this is clearly a loaded phrase, and in no way does it specifically call all men rapists.

Same as the term "patriarchy". The textbook definition still largely fits our society, but many people take serious issue with it, because for whatever reason people take it to mean that men run everything, so all men have it better than all women.

Both of these terms are extremely loaded, and personally I don't like using them. They only cause people to get upset. Same as using gender loaded terms like "hysteria", or race loaded terms like "urban", or further extreme examples like "misogynist", "misandrist", "feminazi", or "men's rights activist" (which is sometimes used in a derogatory way).

I'm in no way offended by any of this stuff. In fact, I'm not at all surprised to see clickbait titles using charged language. Precisely because it's designed to get exact conversation going.
