....i've been told i deserve to be raped; am ugly; fat; sexually undesirable and old ... all by men trying to win an arguments with me.

I've not seen any such abuse directed at male posters.

What is with this misogyny?  And yes, that is precisely what it is.

I'm appalled by it but equally appalled that other posters have not called foul.

How is anyone to know what i look like on an anonymous message board? How dare anyone suggest i deserve to be raped?

This is Australia. 2016.

Dismissing a woman because of assumed lack of desirability to men is not ok. I don't validate myself by my desirability to men. If you are that desperate to use that in an argument, clearly you have a problem with being bested by a woman,

I await the "touched a nerve did i" comments that will inevitably ensue ... just know you are wrong. You are being pulled up on bad behaviour that a sexual revolution has taught you otherwise, yet you were too backward to notice.

And i should add, that most of the men perpetrating this abuse are Islamophobes and cite the treatment of women by Islamic nations as something we don't want here.

Hypocrisy much?

The main task that will lead to peace is to try to reduce the size of ones ego.
the 2 great thinkers, jesus of nazareth and the Buddha were among the first to realise this.

We assume most people want peace but do they really?

Peace of mind is the enemy of the ego.

the ego loves conflict, the ego loves to play the victim, the ego can tell these cry baby stories over and over in the mind and thus the position of the ego is strengthened.

Big ego, big suffering.

And the whiners, the outraged, the easily offended are the owners of very large egos.

one would never have seen Jesus or the buddha expressing outrage, offense, whining and complaining.

i do not recall jesus as he was nailed to the cross , calling out "poor me".

if you want peace of mind, you must destroy your ego.

For the rich, this means losing attachment to their rolexes and their plastic surgeons.
For the hard core leftie, this means losing attachment to their moral outrage and continuous offense.

the abusers are trying to elevate their ego by putting someone else down
the complainers are trying to elevate their ego by being attached to their pain body.

Humans are very complex and cant see through this veil of BS behaviour.

What i would say is,
"you are not your mind"
You must try to live in the now.
Abuse, as such, should just elicit a response of compassion for the abuser.
Again (though i am not a christian) Jesus got this right when he said from the cross

"forgive them father, for they know not what they do"
Truly, abusers and complainers are talking from a place of very low consciousness.
If you think the "moral outrage" expressed by lefties is coming from a place of high consciousness, you think wrong
But, make no mistake, the abused is just as attached to the abuse and to a dysfunctional mind as the abuser.

Ah, the white knight.
This is also an egoic paradym.
there is nor reason why mothra cant use this experience as a great opportunity for personal growth and a great chance at self reflection.

We are not what other people tell us we are.
Even with our closest family and friends , we are not so.
How perfect is abuse over the internet as a way to develop compassion for troubled minds.
To engage with it is to love "drama" and drama is what the ego loves more than anything because it is what sustains it.
Seek first to understand, then to be understood.

Normally I would agree with you, but this is about sexual harrasment.
so anyone who encounters any form of sexual harrasment should use it for personal reflection? It must be their own doing, right? Is this NOT the same argument that you pretend to go against when it's about muslims?   
Please stick to horses.

Mothra - On behalf of the normal men I apologise.

Most men do genuinely like women.
I can easily see why some women do not like men.
