like women picking the bear is a war crime because it punishes all men.

Not what I said. Demanding that I feel ashamed because there's men who do shitty things is the collective punishment, the war crime.

Have you ever considered that there's humans who do shitty things? Why aren't you ashamed of that? Why are you shirking responsibility? Are you secretly in league with them? Why are you not experiencing crippling guilt, knowing that Hitler and Pol Pot exist and are of your group, as I just randomly assigned it? Why aren't you flagellating yourself yet?

Yes, the statement is hyperbolic -- obviously. But you should be able to see how the general pattern, not just its extreme, is toxic.

where did I do that? seriously, point out where I told you to feel ashamed.

Never did. Are you a rapist? then you have nothing to worry about.

You're hyperbole is pointless. I don't feel guilt for hitler and polpot because I'm not a racist genocidal maniac.

So what's the root of your guilt mate?

Past coming back to haunt you? If not, pick team bear dude, it's the logical choice.

You didn't, someone else did and that's where I brought up the whole collective punishment being a war crime thing. Simply wanted to set the record straight on what it was a reference to.

Well, two decades ago I did engage in gang-tickling of gals. Nope I'm not sorry, they're not traumatised, also I got a date out of it but I can definitely see how some people would like to tie a noose from that one.

Would you choose the bear, the guy with downcast eyes boiling with repressed rage, or the one pushing you into the swimming pool while you test the temperature?

Never got good at stealing scrunchies, I'll have to pass on that one. And don't tell me only guys do that kind of thing I once had to fish my home keys out of panties.
