Where is your anger coming from? Manning's "crime" made the world a better place, because it resulted in the U.S. ending the war in Iraq (and therefore saving the lives of countless American troops and Iraqi civilians). Many trans women are incarcerated for petty crimes, like drug possession and prostitution. They…
It's a heavy documentary, but it's definitely worth watching.
You should watch this documentary about the experience of several trans women in prisons across the country: http://www.gendercentre.org.au/resources/pola…
I've never heard of "non-violent vigilantism." That's a contradiction in terms.
Anyone arguing for "vigilante justice" for accused rapists should take a hard look at these pictures. Obviously a list on a bathroom stall is no where near a lynching.
Are you sure you want to endorse "vigilante justice", given our country's history? https://www.google.com/search?q=lynch…
Racist much?
Then here's one more:
There really are. Kids today are funny and smart! It's gives me some hope for our future. ;P
From my perspective, the problem is intrinsically a socio-economic one. White victims are taken seriously, as are rich victims. Black victims are many times ignored and treated poorly. Undocumented victims, incarcerated victims, who this site NEVER talks about, are completely ignored. Our system is rotten right…
I'm just engaging in conversation with other progressives, offering my perspective on politics right now. I do think there is a significant minority of feminists who subscribe criminal intent on male bodies and male bodies of color, including Nivedita Menon, Catharine MacKinnon, etc. I particularly see this with the…
I interpreted this meme as trivializing that point. The butt of the joke are the majority of men, who presumably subscribe to rape culture and, even if the don't rape, contribute to higher rape rapes and lower rape prosecution rates. I don't believe that most men think rape is okay or rape other people, and I think…
I'm sorry I wasn't aware that internet memes stopped rape.
I've never used that phrase ever.
This meme creates a straw man out of the real issue at hand. It's also hateful. I didn't miss the point.
Any person believing that the majority of men are dangerous predators does harm me and our country because they result in draconian and dumb criminal justice policies. For example: http://articles.latimes.com/2005/dec/14/op… It bothers me and directly affects me that so many young men in our country are locked in…
You have to break it down properly. In this country, you are treated better if you are rich and guilty than if you are poor and innocent. So, at the same time that many rich men are getting away with rape, many innocent and guilty young, men of color are serving harsh prison sentences for sexual assault and domestic…
Bullshit to what? Lowest crime rates in decades? Highest incarceration rate in the history of the world? Me being a woman?
Erin I think this is a more culturally significant meme to report on: http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/gratata
