    Idk about any woman he wanted. There are plenty of people who were never attracted to him, and he may be dysfunctional in a way that draws him to those people.

    No one can ever have anyone they want. There will always be someone that says no, and if you don’t have the maturity to accept that and let go of your sense of entitlement you might wind up turning into a predator like Masterson.

        Yea, I know. But they used the figure of speech in a fairly absolute way that I disagree with.

        Being hot and wanted doesn’t make a person any less likely to be a predator.

          The juxtaposition of “anyone he wants without raping them” against “sentenced to 30 years for rape” has a pretty clear contextual implication that you intentionally ignored.

            Feel free to point out where that was referenced in the comment I was replying to.

            I didn’t ignore it, it wasn’t relevant.

              It’s literally the title of the post my dude.

              That was said in response to the context of Danny Masterson being sentenced to jail for rape.

              It is relevant, and you are choosing to die on the hill of pedantry on a point no one but you is actually asserting. You choose to take a figure of speech, that was a juxtaposition of the title of the article and apply an absolute. It doesn’t read that easy to anyone who isn’t making a choice to omit the context.
