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"?

And women don't have an innate drive for, I don't know, self-defense? Since an individual woman's ability to fight off an individual man is not always a failsafe, they accomplish this by recruiting other members of society to protect them. The patriarchy may suck, but it's supposed to work as a mutually beneficial relationship where women do stuff for men in return for not getting beat up and raped.

I mean, not that it actually works that way. Often it's "not getting beat up and raped by anyone but her husband". But that's the idea.

No, you have an innate drive for pleasing men. And making babies. And since rape can lead to babies, you probably don't mind it as much as you say you do (yeah, I've actually seen that argued. It made my skin crawl).
