These motherfuckers. They do not get power dynamics and historical context. Women (of any color) calling out white men as flawed is NOT the same as white men addressing women of any color as flawed. White men have never been forced to think about the needs of others or how policy will negatively impact them…

Actually women and POC would like to work in the comics industry but they are kept away by the publishers, who are also racist/mysogyn in real life, not just in their comics.

They’ve known for months that crimes were being streamed on their platform. They could’ve fixed that by now, if they cared at all. They don’t fix it because there’s no money in helping discourage or prevent violent crime. And in the Valley crime is always someone else’s problem.

Reminds me of when parents beat their children and use the excuse that “they didn’t enjoy it,” like that somehow makes it more acceptable or changes the experience for the victim.

WHAT.

I think I hate the harassers more. Theoretically, a few of the Facebook live people might have scrolled past inattentively or assumed it was some kind of staged thing (I don’t know how Facebook live works). The people who are harassing her now KNOW FOR SURE that she was gang raped and they are harassing her BECAUSE…

Via the Chicago Tribune:

neither did she - shouldn’t that count for something?

I’m disgusted, but not shocked. This country elected a man who assaults women and gets away with it. Why would the people watching the stream be any different. I honestly think human beings with the exception of a few are horrible.

Meanwhile, police have relocated the girl and her family. In addition to the severe emotional and physical trauma of the attack, she’s also dealing with online harassment. WBEZ reports that Police Commander Brendan Deenihan said that people are “making fun of the victim” with “a lot of off color comments” on social…

Men are also constantly taught that fertility is somehow manly, even if they don’t actually want to raise a child.

The Colombian government allowed this killings by letting big companies to drastically change and destroy the ecosystems. Putumayo’s rains are not the cause of this tragedy, but you will never read this on the news because is not convenient and politically correct.

I think it’s a combo of factors honestly. Yeah, there’s the forever-there group of loudly vocal white guys who get worked up whenever anything diverse gets put out because they see it as pandering to SJWs and can’t wrap their minds around the possibility that there are people outside their demographic that read,…

A lot of guys I know - myself included - have been clamoring for this. Condoms suck, vasectomies are a little too slice-n-dicey, and it isn’t fair for women to shoulder the majority of the burden with birth control pills, especially since many women experience adverse side effects with their mood, skin / weight, etc.

What’s ridiculous is that the stereotype is the opposite. Men talk endlessly about how women are the ones ‘trapping’ them into parenthood. Projection yet again.

Except then he could use both, greatly increasing the effectiveness. For anyone truly worried, multiple methods is always the best answer.

It’s possible. It’s also possible that it’s a simple abnegation of responsibility and a product of a weird cultural fixation with potency. Men are used to women having to deal with the birth control. Men are also constantly taught that fertility is somehow manly, even if they don’t actually want to raise a child.

OMG, I slept with a guy once who was 27 and swore to me he’d had a vasectomy, so he didn’t need a condom. Good try there, buddy. Who knows how many women he knocked up? Yeah, men are weird about this. I’m with you.

There IS actually a stateside variant called Vasalgel that’s currently being developed by a nonprofit outfit called the Parsemus Foundation. They’ve done successful testing on rabbits, primates (and dogs, if I remember right). They’re aiming to start small clinical trials next year.
