A Challenger responded to, 

“Sending women dick pics is for amateurs, real men get out there, and disappoint women in real life.”

(So, don’t send unsolicited sexual pleasures, ask.)

Challenger, vaginas are disappointing…

My response, Are you being helpful? Are you saying the ones in your life? Are you saying all the ones in your personal sexual relationships? Are you saying this, to me, someone else, or your belief about the entire world. I need more information please. Like, is that expression what makes men send the pics or just your personal preference or where who just wanting the attention of saying someone will say your sexist I would not say that as the comment was to disappointing to not just respond to it directly.

Challenger, i am getting people’s goats, damien, shhhh

My response, ok Challenger, Ha Ha and I got your this is fun and I am quite unstable as well as in a dark mood right not so mean sound interesting really I am not saying I am good at it so please teach me.

Challenger, honestly though, i am pointing out the double standard in the comments as to saying mens sexual organs are disappointing and that being laughable, but saying something about women’s sexual organs is usually deemed sexist especially if it is derogatory.

Challenger, but then again, we dont hear about the epidemic of vagina pics because it likely doesn’t exist.

Challenger, not to victim blame, but guys probably bring this on themselves.

Challenger, ive never sent a dick pick, and i honestly love vaginas… they are leaps and bounds more useful than dicks… but i digress.

Challenger, unsolicited dicks here is some mushrooms in a picture.

Challenger, these dicks do not disappoint.

My response, Challenger, honestly though, I am pointing out how when someone puts down a man feels the need as the male champion, do I owe you a thank you for being a defender of the unsolicited deck pick senders no I got that wrong you are the savers knight of honor doing selflessly the job of being mean for the without context, just like a person more wanting to be confused then to be understood. So, Pease mean man tell me how what you did was not just a global attack on all women, as that is what you mint or are you now telling me I should not believe you? Are you to be trust? Are your behaviors worthy, in how you put others even done you wronged? what do you call people that pick on others that have done them no wrong? I thing you wish to be better do you not? I can’t imaging as such a crusader of hat is right, I mean not by your behavior no don’t be like you, wasn’t that your point? , if you felt wrong speak up honorable ant try fighting for what is right not continue what is wrong. I assume you are a moral man are you not? Tell me what is moral behavior when you think someone “me” as I am the one you are responding to right?

My response, Challenger, if someone if interested great for them that is a separate issue of what women like dick pics or whatever.

My response, take just one moment and then tell me what you did was protect the sexual abuse person if someone makes fun at their expense like I bet you do with Catholic Church, right? But I would wonder now with the behavior error made, that you may have issues.

Challenger, I think you are reading way too far into this… this had nothing to do with sexual abuse, and everything to do with a simple double standard…

Challenger, this at least explains my missing goat.

My response, Yes, your clear, double standard…

My response, So, you are right, are you up to proving that right? cool, think I not you is the one right will you like the i post and tag you and we both can be created and see who’s argument, your claim of my double standard or is it you with the double standard? I will accept the will of the crowd. You responded to “Sending women dick pics is for amateurs. real men get out there and disappoint women in real life.”

Challenger, (waiting to be called sexist)

My response, You express “vaginas are disappointing…” Challenger; You’re, (wanting to be called sexist) comment was an open antagonistic logical fallacy of playing the victim, all the time feeling others not you are the victimizer, even when you even knew it was not a good, not hopeful, not some challenge with class. If you want to be taken serious kneeing the problem is not a solution.

My response, Egalitarian then? If so, that is why I know you will now go with me and help me troll some man’s page that said something about women derogatory, it was something like vaginas are disappointing… and then would not defend that statement. No, he gave an excuse that he has to do that so he can expose hidden ones by being like the vary this in issue men disrespecting women as having equal rights that even need to be considered if you have a self-righteous low churidar display as your more needed idea, really? and you are still proud about that?

Challenger, twas a simple joke m8

Challenger, i was pointing out a simple double standard.. disparaging male gentials is comedy, disparaging female genitals is sexism…

Challenger, everything youve said since is simply contrived.

My response, There was a different dubbed started thinking it’s wrong to protect some sex abusers and not others and that you don’t see that is surprising really. And I asked and still not justified valid or reliable rational. And what was it your moral high ground over me, a joke to be sure if you think that we need to talk bad.

Challenger, can you reiterate?

Challenger, i dont think i am part of the conversation you are having about abusers.

Challenger, i didnt even mention abusers.

My response, How are you any different that a sex precast defender when others make fun of him?

Challenger, …. again, i dont know what you are tlaking about.. this is about dick pics and the idea of male genitals being okay to disparage while female genitals arent..

Challenger, i never mentioned abusers, you did.

My response, You were not writing it because of the sex abusers fix pics, then what was it your beliefs in the wrongness of women’s virginal health, if so please explain. And forget about me even in your lifetime allowing you to call the distance of a comment only the communication of a limited thinker only bent on his dogma so deluded by the denialism of your actions in the true abusive nature you posted it in.

Challenger, ???? tf

Challenger, can you be coherent please?

Challenger, what sex abuser?

Challenger, id hardly call a UDP sex abuse.

My response, I deeply get, you don’t get the vile, abusive comments as abusers don’t usually get it either.

Challenger, are you seriously calling me a sexual abuser?

My response, You know the original post that you made your unconnected ludicrous shame enjoying comment.

Challenger, can you post it for me because i seem to be missing it.

Challenger, was it where i said guys who send UDP’s bring the criticism on themselves?

Challenger, was it where i said guys who send UDP’s bring the criticism on themselves?

Challenger, can you post it for me because i seem to be missing it

Challenger, i said vaginas are disappointing, (something i dont actually think) in order to point out why its shitty to label penises as inherently disappointing… i am not seeing how you arrived at anything else…

My response, You defended the sex abuser by posting your vile comment. Do you make such communications about women your with. If your comments are so easily supported and me so wrong, it would not bother you is all the women in your family get your comment about their Virginia?

Challenger, what sex abuser?

Challenger, you are full of shit damien.

Challenger, loads of jargon and regressive sentiments embodied in someone who claims to be so progressive…

My response, I mean, someone who uses sexuality as a form of abuse behaviors.

Challenger, i defended no one, you are making this out of thin air, i was simply saying its okay to disparage male genitls, not okay to disparage female genitals.. thats the standard.

Challenger, i dont agree with the standard.

Challenger, i dont think its okay to disparage genitals.

My response, There are all kinds of abuse, you do know that right? There are psychological abuse.

Challenger, i dont see how you got anything else out of this.

Challenger, ….. no one is being abused in this thread damien.

Challenger, do you just baffle people with bullshit or is there actually any substance?

Challenger, im done here….

My response, If you have no problem, with the content, should I post it in your name, and right, he really showed me. Wow, I see I should never make fun of sexual flashers, a crime in case anyone forgot when think about the issues, you feel was showing a dubbed standard, when it’s what you did, that holds the dubbed standard.

My response, You never started you. You leave without defending your bad choice, you stated…

Challenger, vaginas are disappointing…” I responded,

My response, Are you being helpful? Are you saying the ones in your life? Are you saying all the ones in your personal sexual relationships? Are you saying this, to me, someone else, or your belief about the entire world. I need more information please. Like, is that expression what makes men send the pics or just your personal preference or where who just wanting the attention of saying someone will say your sexist I would not say that as the comment was to disappointing to not just respond to it directly, you stated,

Challenger, i am getting peoples goats, damien, shhhh” (not any defense at all just a trolling) You never started you.

Challenger, i posted a picture of some penis envy magic mushrooms.

Challenger, ive never sent a dick pic before.

My response, I only send it to women, but I ask first.

My response, some say no some say yes.

Challenger, and ive never done anything like that so??? whats the point of this again?

Challenger, all i see is that you clearly cant comprehend the nature of a joke, or the fact that there is a double standard concerning comedy surrounding genitals…

Challenger, typical regressive leftist incoherence…

My response, And again you are defending the abuse? How are you different?

Challenger, what fucking abuse???

Challenger, i am talking about comedy surrounding genitals.. tf are you on?

Challenger, i am not defending people who send UDP’s.

My response, I am not a Democrat, I am an anarchist-socialist-mutualist-collectivist, I am a revolutionary, not some timid Leftist as I know you, already know.

Challenger, your labels dont mean much, to me.

Challenger, your rhetoric is indistinguishable from a regressive leftist.

My response, I said I was in a very, mad mood, fell, like roping shit up.

Challenger, so you trolled me?

My response, You are so confused. I held you accountable for your shit mean comment. And how are you different? I trolled you? Did you forget my first response you never angered, “Are you being helpful? Are you saying the ones in your life? Are you saying all the ones in your personal sexual relationships? Are you saying this, to me, someone else, or your belief about the entire world. I need more information please.”

My response, So trolling a troll then is good bad of just the fun it’s been. And how are you different?

My response, Sexting is the sharing of nude or sexually explicit messages or photos, usually by cell phone or some other electronic device or means. Between consenting adults, the private sharing of nude or suggestive photos is generally not illegal. However, that does not mean that adults can freely engage in sexting. There are circumstances under which sexting by adults could result in criminal charges. http://www.criminaldefenselawyer.com/resources/is-sexting-illegal-adults.htm

My response, What is your evidence for your double standard of defaming the victim. 61 % of women have received an unsolicited dick pic. Zero per cent appreciate them. 47 per cent of those had received them more than once. but you with no proof at all think I am wrong well we just got wormed up. I have offered my proof. where is yours as you think you have this issue better than me, so you think. I am waiting for your convincing argument?

My response, Sexting Offenses

Some criminal charges that can result from sexting include felony and misdemeanor offenses, such as:

*Distributing or Possessing a Sexually Explicit Photo

*Internet Sex Crimes

But these laws also often apply unfairly when only teens are involved, or even if a 17 or 18 year-old boy sends racy texts to his 16 year old girlfriend. Or if a girl sends a suggestive or nude image to her boyfriend, the boyfriend could be charged with possession of child pornography just for receiving the image. Federal Sex Offender Registration: If you are convicted of any sex offense or criminal charge designated as sexual in nature, you will be required to register as a sex offender, and be part of a national database. Legal Defenses In Sexting Cases: Legal strategies in sexting cases, and any with any charges of a sexual nature often start with trying to get sexual offender status off the table as a possible penalty. If there is an opportunity to argue for reducing the charges to a lesser offense, that is often a good outcome. Sexting laws reform efforts continue in many states, but most statutes still list extreme penalties for juveniles engaged in this behavior. Any sex offense is a very serious charge, and needs an aggressive and smart legal strategy. http://www.sexcrimecriminaldefense.com/sexting/

Why do men send unsolicited dick pics? “It is a growing problem but there isn’t much data about the prevalence of this phenomenon,” says Dr Nicola Henry, a senior lecturer in crime, justice and legal studies at La Trobe University. “In some cases, people are doing it as a form of sexual harassment; they are deliberately trying to harass and intimidate another person. “I think it’s an issue that needs more attention.” Dr Henry stresses that while exchanging sexually explicit images is acceptable behaviour between consenting adults – a form of “modern day flirtation” – sending unsolicited images may constitute a form of sexual harassment. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-07-09/why-men-send-unsolicited-dick-pics/7540904

You are trying to use the Victim Fallacy posts inflammatory troll posts: one, a rhetorical tactic of batting with “vaginas are disappointing” using the language in my post making fun of sexual criminals and two the preemptive self-protection as well as the last part of the Victim Fallacy you though would work when you know I am quite right and you are all kinds of wrong then continued exposing of your tactics utter “point” failure to make you anything but uninformed and confused, never how you are any different?

You seem to like the Victim Fallacy, makes a unconnected rude comment then when is asked and has only a weak nothing defense you offer that my challenging you back is trolling you “Challenger, so you trolled me?”, here is a Description:

This fallacy occurs when a person uncritically assumes that the cause of a perceived mistreatment (such as not being hired or receiving a poor grade) is due to prejudice (such as sexism or racism) on the part of the person or persons involved in the perceived mistreatment. The form of “reasoning” is as follows:

  1. Person P believes s/he is being mistreated by person or persons M.
  2. Person P regards himself or herself as a member of group G and believes this group has been subject to prejudice. Or P believes that M regards him/her as a member of G.
  3. P uncritically concludes that his/her perceived mistreatment is the result of prejudice against G on the part of M.

This is a fallacy because a person perceives himself or herself as being mistreated, does not provide sufficient justification for the claim, that the alleged mistreatment is the result of prejudice. After all, even if the situation does involve mistreatment, it might be the result of factors that have nothing to do with prejudice of the sort being considered. https://aphilosopher.wordpress.com/2010/09/17/victim-fallacy/

Women are more likely to be victims of sexual violence than are men. The National Violence Against Women Survey (NVAWS) sampled 8,000 women and 8,000 men and found that 1 in 6 women (17 percent) and 1 in 33 men (3 percent) reported experiencing an attempted or completed rape at some time in their lives. Women are significantly more likely than men to be injured during an assault. In one NIJ-funded study, 31.5 percent of female rape victims, compared with 16.1 percent of male rape victims, reported being injured during their most recent rape. Sexual violence may begin early in life. Researchers also found that among female rape victims surveyed, more than half (54 percent) were younger than age 18; 32.4 percent were ages 12–17; and 21.6 percent were younger than age 12 at time of victimization. Early abuse and later victimization. Although child sexual abuse before age 13 is not by itself a risk factor for adult sexual victimization or domestic violence, girls who were victimized before turning 12 and then again as adolescents (ages 13–17) were at much greater risk of both types of victimization as adults than any other women. http://www.nij.gov/topics/crime/rape-sexual-violence/pages/victims-perpetrators.aspx

How are you any different with your double standard equivocation and special pleading, both different logical fallacies, one of many you think are solid real arguments, so how is it that a sex priest defender is wrong or do you think even they too like you believe about your so rite a comment of said vaginas are disappointing, (something you say you don’t actually think, thus, an admitted lie to start all this off) when others make fun of a sex abuser priest?

How are you any different with your double standard equivocation and special pleading, Special Pleading Description: Applying standards, principles, and/or rules to other people or circumstances, while making oneself or certain circumstances exempt from the same critical criteria, without providing adequate justification.  Special pleading is often a result of strong emotional beliefs that interfere with reason. https://www.logicallyfallacious.com/tools/lp/Bo/LogicalFallacies/163/Special-Pleading

My thoughts on Religion Evolution with external links for more info:

“Religion is an Evolved Product” and Yes, Religion is Like Fear Given Wings…

Atheists talk about gods and religions for the same reason doctors talk about cancer, they are looking for a cure, or a firefighter talks about fires because they burn people and they care to stop them. We atheists too often feel a need to help the victims of mental slavery, held in the bondage that is the false beliefs of gods and the conspiracy theories of reality found in religions.

“Understanding Religion Evolution: Animism, Totemism, Shamanism, Paganism & Progressed organized religion”

Understanding Religion Evolution:

“An Archaeological/Anthropological Understanding of Religion Evolution”

It seems ancient peoples had to survived amazing threats in a “dangerous universe (by superstition perceived as good and evil),” and human “immorality or imperfection of the soul” which was thought to affect the still living, leading to ancestor worship. This ancestor worship presumably led to the belief in supernatural beings, and then some of these were turned into the belief in gods. This feeble myth called gods were just a human conceived “made from nothing into something over and over, changing, again and again, taking on more as they evolve, all the while they are thought to be special,” but it is just supernatural animistic spirit-belief perceived as sacred.

 

Quick Evolution of Religion?

Pre-Animism (at least 300,000 years ago) pre-religion is a beginning that evolves into later Animism. So, Religion as we think of it, to me, all starts in a general way with Animism (Africa: 100,000 years ago) (theoretical belief in supernatural powers/spirits), then this is physically expressed in or with Totemism (Europe: 50,000 years ago) (theoretical belief in mythical relationship with powers/spirits through a totem item), which then enlists a full-time specific person to do this worship and believed interacting Shamanism (Siberia/Russia: 30,000 years ago) (theoretical belief in access and influence with spirits through ritual), and then there is the further employment of myths and gods added to all the above giving you Paganism (Turkey: 12,000 years ago) (often a lot more nature-based than most current top world religions, thus hinting to their close link to more ancient religious thinking it stems from). My hypothesis is expressed with an explanation of the building of a theatrical house (modern religions development). Progressed organized religion (Egypt: 5,000 years ago)  with CURRENT “World” RELIGIONS (after 4,000 years ago).

Historically, in large city-state societies (such as Egypt or Iraq) starting around 5,000 years ago culminated to make religion something kind of new, a sociocultural-governmental-religious monarchy, where all or at least many of the people of such large city-state societies seem familiar with and committed to the existence of “religion” as the integrated life identity package of control dynamics with a fixed closed magical doctrine, but this juggernaut integrated religion identity package of Dogmatic-Propaganda certainly did not exist or if developed to an extent it was highly limited in most smaller prehistoric societies as they seem to lack most of the strong control dynamics with a fixed closed magical doctrine (magical beliefs could be at times be added or removed). Many people just want to see developed religious dynamics everywhere even if it is not. Instead, all that is found is largely fragments until the domestication of religion.

Religions, as we think of them today, are a new fad, even if they go back to around 6,000 years in the timeline of human existence, this amounts to almost nothing when seen in the long slow evolution of religion at least around 70,000 years ago with one of the oldest ritual worship. Stone Snake of South Africa: “first human worship” 70,000 years ago. This message of how religion and gods among them are clearly a man-made thing that was developed slowly as it was invented and then implemented peace by peace discrediting them all. Which seems to be a simple point some are just not grasping how devastating to any claims of truth when we can see the lie clearly in the archeological sites.

I wish people fought as hard for the actual values as they fight for the group/clan names political or otherwise they think support values. Every amount spent on war is theft to children in need of food or the homeless kept from shelter.

Here are several of my blog posts on history:

I am not an academic. I am a revolutionary that teaches in public, in places like social media, and in the streets. I am not a leader by some title given but from my commanding leadership style of simply to start teaching everywhere to everyone, all manner of positive education. 

“Theists, there has to be a god, as something can not come from nothing.”

Well, thus something (unknown) happened and then there was something. This does not tell us what the something that may have been involved with something coming from nothing. A supposed first cause, thus something (unknown) happened and then there was something is not an open invitation to claim it as known, neither is it justified to call or label such an unknown as anything, especially an unsubstantiated magical thinking belief born of mythology and religious storytelling.

I do not hate simply because I challenge and expose myths or lies any more than others being thought of as loving simply because of the protection and hiding from challenge their favored myths or lies.

The truth is best championed in the sunlight of challenge.

An archaeologist once said to me “Damien religion and culture are very different”

My response, So are you saying that was always that way, such as would you say Native Americans’ cultures are separate from their religions? And do you think it always was the way you believe?

I had said that religion was a cultural product. That is still how I see it and there are other archaeologists that think close to me as well. Gods too are the myths of cultures that did not understand science or the world around them, seeing magic/supernatural everywhere.

I personally think there is a goddess and not enough evidence to support a male god at Çatalhöyük but if there was both a male and female god and goddess then I know the kind of gods they were like Proto-Indo-European mythology.

The “Atheist-Humanist-Leftist Revolutionaries”

Cory Johnston ☭ Ⓐ Atheist Leftist @Skepticallefty & I (Damien Marie AtHope) @AthopeMarie (my YouTube & related blog) are working jointly in atheist, antitheist, antireligionist, antifascist, anarchist, socialist, and humanist endeavors in our videos together, generally, every other Saturday.

Why Does Power Bring Responsibility?

Think, how often is it the powerless that start wars, oppress others, or commit genocide? So, I guess the question is to us all, to ask, how can power not carry responsibility in a humanity concept? I know I see the deep ethical responsibility that if there is power their must be a humanistic responsibility of ethical and empathic stewardship of that power. Will I be brave enough to be kind? Will I possess enough courage to be compassionate? Will my valor reach its height of empathy? I as everyone, earns our justified respect by our actions, that are good, ethical, just, protecting, and kind. Do I have enough self-respect to put my love for humanity’s flushing, over being brought down by some of its bad actors? May we all be the ones doing good actions in the world, to help human flourishing.

I create the world I want to live in, striving for flourishing. Which is not a place but a positive potential involvement and promotion; a life of humanist goal precision. To master oneself, also means mastering positive prosocial behaviors needed for human flourishing. I may have lost a god myth as an atheist, but I am happy to tell you, my friend, it is exactly because of that, leaving the mental terrorizer, god belief, that I truly regained my connected ethical as well as kind humanity.

Cory and I will talk about prehistory and theism, addressing the relevance to atheism, anarchism, and socialism.

At the same time as the rise of the male god, 7,000 years ago, there was also the very time there was the rise of violence, war, and clans to kingdoms, then empires, then states. It is all connected back to 7,000 years ago, and it moved across the world.

I am not a good fit in the atheist movement that is mostly pro-capitalist, I am anti-capitalist. Mostly pro-skeptic, I am a rationalist not valuing skepticism. Mostly pro-agnostic, I am anti-agnostic. Mostly limited to anti-Abrahamic religions, I am an anti-religionist.

To me, the “male god” seems to have either emerged or become prominent around 7,000 years ago, whereas the now favored monotheism “male god” is more like 4,000 years ago or so. To me, the “female goddess” seems to have either emerged or become prominent around 11,000-10,000 years ago or so, losing the majority of its once prominence around 2,000 years ago due largely to the now favored monotheism “male god” that grow in prominence after 4,000 years ago or so.

My Thought on the Evolution of Gods?

Animal protector deities from old totems/spirit animal beliefs come first to me, 13,000/12,000 years ago, then women as deities 11,000/10,000 years ago, then male gods around 7,000/8,000 years ago. Moralistic gods around 5,000/4,000 years ago, and monotheistic gods around 4,000/3,000 years ago. 

To me, animal gods were likely first related to totemism animals around 13,000 to 12,000 years ago or older. Female as goddesses was next to me, 11,000 to 10,000 years ago or so with the emergence of agriculture. Then male gods come about 8,000 to 7,000 years ago with clan wars. Many monotheism-themed religions started in henotheism, emerging out of polytheism/paganism.

Gods?
 
“Animism” is needed to begin supernatural thinking.
“Totemism” is needed for supernatural thinking connecting human actions & related to clan/tribe.
