Unfortunately, certain mentally ill people require a higher level that almost always include hospitalisation. He definately has some boundary issues that need to be addressed.

We hospitalise people to treat them, not to keep them away from society. If you think this dude should be locked up, focus on the illegality and anti-social nature of what he’s doing and propose that he be put in jail. To operate on a presumption of “He seems crazy, let’s put him in hospital for the good of everyone else” is downright offensive to those of us who are non-neurotypical.

That kind of language may be socially acceptable, but that doesn’t make it any less bigoted.

Now that shit is just fucking weird. I don’t get people who would defend this guy any more than I get rape apologists, because I doubt most of them would even want to do something like this themselves. I think they’re probably immature idiots who like saying outrageous shit to rile women up.

So. . .he rapes her, or maybe “just” continues to harass and stalk her (wheeee! No big deal!), and then she’s blamed for running around loose, since we all know that the onus is on women to avoid being stalked, harassed, and raped. You know–stay indoors avoid contact with people if you don’t want to deal with that.

But I don’t agree that he’s mentally ill. I think his problem is an overinflated sense of entitlement, which is all too common. The fact is, he’s got plenty of defenders who insist he’s just an inept romantic who has every right to pull this shit (and that the beatches who don’t appreciate his actions are hysterical). There is far too much of this attitude–it’s not mental illness, it’s misogynist entitlement, period, full stop.

I don’t think he’s a well man either, junk science, but my reaction to people who seem mentally ill is usually “they should see a mental health professional and get some help” rather than “they shouldn’t be running around loose”.

For the first few posts, he sounded like my daughter’s bio-dad, which is quite bad enough. Then I read further, and realised he was worse.

Uh huh.

I just read his LJ. I take back whatever I said upthread.

Word. Duct tape. A joke about duct tape. That’s all I need to know.

I had only one creepy experience behind the bar it was an older man who was nice to start out with so I was nice then he started to ask me to lower my pants, asking what I was wearing under my pants… so I can make more money and “he was just looking for a good time.”

I bartend but I don’t take much crap but for some reason I was being nice to the older idoit. The doorguys kept an eye on him. Ever since then, I just decided I would be more firm at work. I don’t know a nice way to turn someone down. I just say no. They say I’m mean. I say “How would I turn you down nicely?”

Back to him, HE SAW A CUTE GIRL AND GOT A LITTLE CARRIED AWAY?

You think? I’m sure she’s frightened for her life now. It was a sign to get women everywhere to take self defense courses. I mean that would scare me! Jeez.
