Only thing wrong with sex work if if the worker doesn’t want to be doing it.

I knew an Asian guy (online) who used to do routine rundowns of every darkly-straight-haired star he could think of & insist that either they HAD to be part Asian, or “maybe they were”. ALSO weird.

I have a cousin who EVERYONE swore up & down was Greek. Even Greek people. Since she was adopted, we all figured, “OK, maybe she is!” Then she finally decided to find out about her bio-family: 1/8 Cherokee (? I honestly forget which First Nation), the rest is English.

I once had someone ask me if I was Jewish because of my nose. Which looks almost exactly like LYNN REDGRAVE’S. MOST people tell me I can’t be Jewish because I am fair-haired, green-eyed & have straight hair. I always tell them “No, except for that BEING A COHEN THING, I guess I can’t be!” Idiots.

How disgusting that any judge would KNOW that a guy was a threat to someone & that all they would do is “warn the woman to learn to shoot” or make them move!

An instant “insanity plea”. Of course.

Actually,. no, it IS an “Honor Killing”; we just don’t specifically call it that. But it’s a fabulous idea to equate the two - especially when some rightwinger beings up the exact false point to which you refer

DING!DING!DING!DING!DING!

And my reaction ewas “Wait, this guy’s MARRIED & doing this?” And now I feel naive for being surprised.

I would, considering that he FELT ENTITLED TO HER.

OMG, THIS! 1,000 TIMES, THIS!

Every death threat I used to get in newsgroups, I sent to the FBI. Or, I reposted it IN the newsgroup, replete with headers, laughing at (for example) the guy who threatened to “send me to the hospital” when he LIVED IN BRITAIN (I’m in the US).

No, I think you missed something,. The person replying to her is clearly saying that this women was a victim because she didn’t fight back.

Yeah, let’s totally conflate two entirely different conditions (& ignore any mitigating factors that would skewer your racism) & say that they have to be looked at the same. Sure! Anything to help you ignore the facts that obviously jhurt your feelings. Because that’s more important than acknowledging the truth &…

So if the scenario was COMPLETELY DIFFERENT, and STATISTICALLY LESS LIKELY, it would be “totally different”? OK, sure! But it doesn’t change the facts that more men kill more women because they feel entitled to her than the situation you are describing. WAY more.

I thought he meant “in addition to”, but I could be wrong.

Yep - that’s how he lived even after he ATTEMPTED TO KILL THE COP.

What more can you do? Stop lying, for starters.
