I still fancy RB

656 replies

I've watched the documentary.

I still fancy RB.

I identify as a radical feminist.

I'm married with kids.

I think that if you are a heterosexual woman, you are either in denial on what men are or you accept what they are but find them irresistibly sexually attractive and so continue to be with them.

RB is simply what the vast majority of men would be like if they could get away with it.

Therefore - and because he's bloody good looking, funny and intelligent - and sexy - I will continue to fancy the pants off him.

I think women who are being all shocked and descusted at his behaviour need to consider what men are actually like. There's not some massive demarcation between him and other men.

My condolences 🙏

Lol

Another example of the f’d up fundamentalism of so called “radical” feminism.

Does literally nobody else think that most men would do what he did if they could get away with it?

Men have always been jealous of him.

I don't think there is this huge line between him and other men. So shoot me.

I agree with the poster who wrote about trauma. His behaviour is neither normal nor acceptable and his alleged crimes, if found to be true in court, are just awful. He's revolting.

TimeFlysWhenYoureHavingRum · 20/09/2023 07:21

At least he knows what a woman is eh OP?

He's accused of rape. I don't think most men would rape if they could get away with it. Some, yes. But not most.

I'm not apologising for his behaviour. Look at rape stats. Loads of men do it and get away with it every single day, usually apologising afterwards like he did. I can't actually believe none of you have experienced this.

Morning Russell!

Now fuck off

Yorkshirelass04 · 20/09/2023 07:22

Not even if he was a nice guy.

Those predatory beady black eyes 👀

Sleepo · 20/09/2023 07:22

You’re free to fancy who you want, OP. Think of all those women who fall in love with incarcerated serial killers. I agree with PP that it probably results from trauma.

Your remarks about how all men would do this if they could are just wrong, I’m pleased to say.

Tandora · 20/09/2023 07:23

So your logic is “all men are capable of rape, therefore I’m going to excuse those who actually commit rape”.

That doesn't mean all men are rapists Hmm

I agree with you, OP.

This is one of the most vile things I have read on here in a while. Hard not to worry about what OP has experienced to have those views.

Yorkshirelass04 · 20/09/2023 07:24

Up your standards!

He’s not at all attractive to me physically and I never understood the appeal. Build too thin and wiry and looks like he hasn’t had a wash since 1995. I’m not sure all men are exactly the same!!!

SnowyPetals · 20/09/2023 07:26

You crack on then love. I have always found him repugnant. But you must've met some pretty awful men if your expectation is that they'd all be rapists given half a chance. I'm sure some would, just as some would be murderers if they could get away with it. Maybe you're mixing with the wrong crowds.

SquashPenguin · 20/09/2023 07:26

No, the majority of men would not behave like this given the opportunity.

RB is anything but attractive. He’s not funny either, never has been.

wheresmymojo · 20/09/2023 07:26

No.

And believe me when I say that's not because I've led a sheltered life when it comes to knowing the wrong kind of men.

I think a lot of men would have a period of putting it about a lot.

I do not think all men would be rapists.

Use spell check and I hope you're not grumpy getting up for school this morning, this was very late!

Show quote history

Sadly, especially if we properly define rape/sexual assault as being sexual activity that is not enthusiastically consensual, a hell of a lot are.

Tandora · 20/09/2023 07:28

you literally are. Your logic is “all men are capable of rape”, therefore “there’s no point in unduly singling out/ condemning individual men for actually committing rape”. So , yeh, essentially we don’t hold any rapists responsible for committing rape because they are just normal men after all, and anyway as women we are bound to fancy them.
Rarely heard anything more antithetical to the well-being and rights of women and yet you espoused this in the name of “feminism”. Lunacy.
