When I saw the headline I knew something was off. People have been talking about these no-knock warrants for years and cops gave nary a fuck about them. Then there was the promise of charges. Charges against the police being talked about this soon? This did not compute. The cynic in me said that this couple must have…
“a common reaction among his friends, fans, and business associates was shock.”
No one’s saying it’s your fault as a man that other men do shitty things. You’re oddly committed to that disingenuous canard for someone who “doesn’t want to be made out like an MRA.”
The thing about this being a men’s issue is that it largely is. That doesn’t mean every man is guilty of it—but it does mean that we, as…
Yes, their comment literally read, “Kinja user fleshsword is a rapist”
No, it didn’t, and stop taking it so personally when the word “men” is used. You’re male and NOT a rapist? Great, then you shouldn’t be bothered one bit by that comment.
The problem is the low, low, low fucking standards that us men tend to hold for ourselves. Namely, that so long as I never “rape” anyone, as in drag a woman into the shadows and have my way with her, then I’m not a bad guy.
I have talked about deciding to adopt a Native American child ( I am a Native American and I was adopted myself). I thought that maybe a cousin’s child might be available, but there is already a huge support system in place. But, I did meet a tribal chairman who suggested just calling the tribal social services office…
“The greatest man who ever lived died via the death penalty for you and me,” she said. “I’m grateful to him for our future hope because of this. Governments were instituted to execute justice. If it wasn’t for Jesus dying via the death penalty, we would all have no hope.”
I didn’t learn until like decades later than she did it because she was routinely abused. All I knew at the time was the “crazy bitch” narrative that she randomly cut of her husband’s penis. Goes to show what the media cared about.
Jennifer Blagg, one of the attorneys representing Van Dyke, said he is being made the scapegoat for the entire Chicago Police Department.
that’s an easy answer though, Parrots can’t urinate.
If she did make good on her threats, it would have been real awkward when his fellow police officers showed up to burn a cross on his lawn and lynch him.
Canadian tuxedo! Ha!
I used to have really mixed feelings about gun control. And, if we were in an ideal world, I might possibly be more on the anti-gun-control side of things.
Hi! Attorney, here. From a First Amendment and law enforcement perspective (and based purely on the information I have here), this is a bit of a borderline case - though I agree with the other commenters that if the man had been black/brown or had a Muslim-sounding name, they more likely would have “erred” on the side…
Exactly. I have a family member who I think is a potential sexual predator. Other than not letting my kids be around him there’s nothing I can do. He hasn’t broken any laws.
“Women who wear yoga pants are a regular target of rage from men who describe themselves as ‘incels’—involuntary celibates — online, and Beierle appeared to consider himself a member of that community.”
Or the girl broke her arm in an accident and everyone in school spread a nasty rumor to torment her and his mom was one of the bullies.
His story is for SURE leaving out a great deal of detail. In high school, I had a Ryan. Let us call him Pete. Pete sat in front of me in math. Pete once threw my book bag out of the classroom window, rubbed his naked ass on my desk, and ripped my homework in half. His torment of me was a daily occurrence. I asked my…
The Editor Demographic is a deeply bubble-wrapped set of people. I know them well. One of them was good enough to get drunk and admit to my face that she wished she grew up like me (in Trump country) because her life (of urban and suburban international homes) was boring. What these people do not want to admit is that…
Or that other person did break her arm but claimed not to and people bought that excuse.
