I ask our female ABers, would you have as understanding as this woman if your partner/ husband had behaved in such a way?

/// No way could I stand beside a husband/son/nephew or any male relative ///

That is a rather sexist statement to make, what about a daughter, a niece or any female relatives?

[ummmm]

Read back page two of this thread. Read all the answers, not just sp's.

Coming from the guy who addressed the question as if it only applied to women?!

AOG, you seriously, seriously need to stop being such a pedantic berk and get on with the actual debate. It's just utterly pathetic the way you try to pick on minutiae. And, frankly, you usually fail to get those right anyway. "Look" has taken on a meaning that doesn't restrict it to vision, so pretending otherwise is just a nonsense.

Now grow up and learn how to conduct yourself in a debate. Seriously.

[albaqwerty]

If any relative was found to be guilty of any heinous crime, they are on their own.

I only mention I wouldn't stand by any male relative found guilty of rape as men comitting rape is, unfortunately, more common, than women doing so.

Men rape other men too, which is despicable beyond words, any crime against another human being is abhorrent.

[ummmm]

OH
MY
GOSH

Your title says 'Rapist Husband'

[viv38]

You know AOG, I was starting to feel sorry for you, because it's coming at you from all sides and I think you had a point mentioning the various types of murder, BUT I've just changed my view with your comment to alba!! This thread is about a husband which is male, so how can she be sexist ??!!

[albaqwerty]

To be fair, though, in this day of men marrying other men, would a male husband stand by his male wife if they were found guilty of rape?

(tongue is so firmly planted in cheek btw)

[royfromaus]

Have you ever considered switching to decaf, AOG?

[Baldric]

Well said Viv, just caught up with this thread, Aog does seem to have forgotten the content of the OP!

Somehow I don't think that you are quite the right person to advise anyone on how to conduct one's self in a debate, especially when you can only revert to personal insults when you become aware that you have lost the argument.

[albaqwerty]

personal insults? now, really, AOG, pot, kettle and black spring to mind.

Please take a break for 5 minutes to calm down.

Yes I agree that it is more common for men to commit rape than women, but it is not unknown, so one has to be particularly careful how one words a statement so as to not cause confusion.

[ummmm]

Not when you're on a thread about a male rapist you don't!!!

[ummmm]

And a male rapist raping a woman!

It's getting pathetic!

[jim360]

I don't see how I've lost "the argument", since you don't even seem to know what it is any more. You started off this thread by asking a serious and difficult question, and got answers back. And then you started quibbling over semantics. If you can't see that you've lost perspective by doing that, then... well, it wouldn't be the first time you seem unable to focus on your own question. And I mean what I say. And if you stopped for a moment to think about it, you'd realise that I have a point. You do lose yourself in minutiae and trivial attempts at point-scoring.

Look at the way you conduct your debates, and realise that you rarely do yourself much credit.

I'm quite worried that this stupid, deluded woman lectures at York University............

Please do not fell sorry for me viv, I am used to the insults and criticisms that I receive on AB seeing that I continuously dare to enter Daily Mail links, choosing what some consider the wrong headline to my threads, sensitive subject matter that some wish to be swept under the carpet, being right-wing, disagreeing with multi immigration and the EU, daring to criticise certain criminals who happen not to be white, and in my continuous quest for a level playing field.

/// BUT I've just changed my view with your comment to alba!! This thread is about a husband which is male, so how can she be sexist ??!! ///

I never mentioned husband or even wife, I was referring to alba's choice to include only male relatives ie Son, Nephew, and all other male relatives.

[askyourgran]

No, she is deluding herself. Hope he is deported.

[naomi24]

No, I wouldn't stand by him.

[albaqwerty]

errr, I think you did kinda mention husband AOG, in you OP

I ask our female ABers, would you have as understanding as this woman if your partner/ husband had behaved in such a way?
