Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.
Rules…
- Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
- New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

The parallel comes from the argument from rape apologists that say stuff like "men can't control themselves, it's like putting a juicy stake in front of a dog". It's a disgusting argument shifting blame to the way women dress, saying they provoked them. The message here comes straight from that, debunking the whole "dogs can't control themselves so men can't either" argument.
As for whether the dog would eat that while the trainer isn't there, I don't know about that. I trained my dog not to eat without a signal, and I have been testing her to see how well she responds to that by literally leaving the room for a while and seeing what she does. I always come back to the untouched food and her lying patiently in front of it. And it's not just me, there are a ton of videos of people doing the same and leaving their dogs alone with the food, some of these videos even part of an earlier iteration of this same trend.
Also, I don't think it matters that the dog didn't train itself. In fact, I think it says exactly what it should, that we should stop hiding behind the "boys will be boys" argument and teach our boys and men how to behave.
