I agree, and I don’t think anyone here is trying to get at some absolute truth about morality. We will always have to contextualize morality - there’s no way around that. What Gadsby was driving at is that even seemingly good men, like Louis C.K. appeared to be, can be dead wrong about the perceptions of their own…

Maybe it wasn’t the best phrasing, but I do think she was following a different logic than what you’re thinking. From what I can understand, she’s defining bad people as people who behave in ways that hurt others. Whether you subscribe to that ideology is not really the substance of this discussion.

I hope the same, I really do. But I also have to say that while “standards” are changing with respect to what is appropriate public behavior, women’s experiences of victimization are as old as time - and this is an important distinction for men learning about privilege.

I think, in regards to “the line,” she wasn’t saying that women define how men and women interact. If you look at the context, she’s saying women are the one who decide who hurt them. They draw the line at what behavior is bad and what behavior is good. Because if, as she says, all men think they are good and they…

I’d also be interested in the gap in hiring for women and men of specific ages. I’m 26, and even though I have no plans for having children, many employers might assume that I could become pregnant in the years following their choice to employ me. This means they have to consider what benefits to offer, what to pay…

I mean, I met my fiance on Tumblr... Granted he ran a porn blog that I followed and that’s how we met lol

But what about trans men? Will topless photos of them be okay if they haven’t had top surgery? If so, then how will Tumblr differentiate between cis womens’s breasts and trans men’s breasts? If they’re not allowed to post photos of their breasts, does that not essentially define breasts as female, defeating the…

I don’t mind wasting my time. I just finished up cancer treatments and I’m still unemployed while I wait to start feeling better. I have nothing but time.

I know he is. It’s really just a time-killer for me. I also read an article about how engaging with ignorant people online, while it often doesn’t influence the ignorant person you’re engaging with, can actually sway ignorant people who are reading the exchange. It’s interesting to me.

I’ve already pointed out that your first comment was about jumping to conclusions.

Your first couple of sentences are basically what I said at the beginning. In my opinion, though, it’s unlikely to be a liberal person - but you’ll notice that I recognized that as a possibility in my first post. So really, truly, I’m not sure why you decided to try debating with me.

Only what people are speculating here is based on what evidence we have. There’s no evidence to suggest that a liberal did this, however the pattern of victims does suggest that someone who didn’t like the victims’ criticism of Trump was motivated to attack them, since that is something all the victims have in common.

That’s where we disagree. If we see a pattern in the victims of these crimes, it’s perfectly okay to make inferences. Obviously if new information comes out that contradicts those inferences, we’d have to let it go.

Based on nothing but the available context of these events, actually. Nowhere did I say that only Republicans are capable of this sort of attack - that was your assumption based on nothing but conjecture.

No worries - it’d be foolish, I think, not to entertain every possibility.

Where did I ever say this doesn’t happen to Republicans? If you want to debate with me, try engaging with the things I DID say, not the things you want me to have said. Also, I’ve heard of all of these stories - quit pretending the media doesn’t cover these events.

I’d say the odds of that are far less likely than the odds of it being some angry white guy who’s been pumped full of violent rhetoric from the right for years thinking he’ll scare non-Republican voters away from the polls. I won’t say it’s completely impossible that it’s “one of us,” but I think the odds of that are…

I understand your sentiment, but I just want to offer a different perspective. I’m a low-income person going through cancer treatments right now. I have student loan debt and now medical debt. I have a master’s degree, but I can’t work. I depend on healthcare from the state where I live, which luckily has covered much…

Bit soft in the belly?

I spent one summer in undergrad cleaning for a local apartment complex that housed mostly students. It was nothing short of horrific. Some highlights include:
