Scott Adams says something misogynist; news at 11


Scott Adams thinks rape is a natural instinct of men, and that asking them not to rape is oppressive. Seriously:

If a lion and a zebra show up at the same watering hole, and the lion kills the zebra, whose fault is that? Maybe you say the lion is at fault for doing the killing. Maybe you say the zebra should have chosen a safer watering hole. But in the end, you probably conclude that both animals acted according to their natures, so no one is to blame...

The part that interests me is that society is organized in such a way that the natural instincts of men are shameful and criminal while the natural instincts of women are mostly legal and acceptable. In other words, men are born as round pegs in a society full of square holes. Whose fault is that? Do you blame the baby who didn’t ask to be born male? Or do you blame the society that brought him into the world, all round-pegged and turgid, and said, “Here’s your square hole”?


Won't someone think of the poor, erect penises? How will they exercise their God-given right to have a hole to occupy, if the person attached to the hole is allowed to say "no"?

If rape is a natural instinct of men, then it's a natural instinct of gay men as well as straight men. Hey, Scott--are you cool with this? Willing to admit that if you were assaulted, you probably should have chosen a safer watering hole, and the guy who attacked you isn't to blame because he's just acting on his nature?

For that matter, Scott, I notice that you're living in a place where it's highly unlikely that another man will act on his natural instincts to beat you, steal from you, murder you, or do any of those other things that evolution has enabled humans to do to increase our evolutionary success. Why is that? Do you find these natural urges offensive, for some reason? Are you implying that you find these urges "shameful and criminal"?

Or have you noticed, on some level, that you do have a dog in this fight, and it's not the Rottweiler you want it to be?
