OK, let’s go ahead and respond to this dipshit assertion, because people always make it on these posts. Generally, I ignore it because it’s so obviously fucking stupid, but we’re going to do this here and now. This is such a basically obvious point that I’d think anyone capable of tying their own shoes would get it,…

Yeah, I was expecting a bunch of morning drunk, lululemon wearing sorority girls causing a kerfuffle. Not a bunch of alums at a national conference carrying GASP!!! BOOKS!!!! Meanwhile, didn’t the TSA just fail like 97% surprise tests of screening actual guns, knives and incendiary devices?

Oh, FFS. This whole bag check thing wouldn’t have anything to do with Delta Sigma Theta being a historically black sorority, would it? Naah!

You know what, I’m going to copy&paste a really good post I saw on Tumblr. Not my words, but I wish they were because they are so right.

Mass shootings and domestic shootings. Most shootings have men pulling the trigger.

I wish we would talk more about the fact that one thing these mass shootings had in common is a male shooter. Women live in America too and have “mental illness” but yet there is something about our culture that leads men to commit mass shootings. I’m not sure if it’s due to male privilege that comes from belonging to…

Actually, I think the fact that men are more common victims of gun violence might indeed by the result of patriarchal thinking.

OMG, did you seriously just #WhatAboutTheMenz ?

Feel free to stop killing each other.

And you know what else? Women, who are paid less, nevertheless have an equal percentage of financial burden to that of men in supporting this culture of violence. We are on the same tax scales, taxes that go towards funding police, prisons, and remedial healthcare in many instances — all artifacts of violence. Yes,…

Ignoring the greys. I’ll just drop this here:

Actually, there seems to be a lot of people doing so to derail this conversation, which is about who is killing women: MEN. That men are also waging a war on themselves is not what we are talking about right now. The murderer in Lafayette killed those women at that movie because he hated women.

This discussion isn’t about which gender is more likely to be victimized, it’s about who is doing the victimizing. Men.

the notion that women are the primary victims of gun homicide is the exact opposite of what’s true:

A thousand times yes. Domestic violence plus guns equals a literal war on women.

She is so right. Guns in America are a women’s rights issue. I don’t know why we let men get away with turning our country into a real life kill-or-be-killed video game.

Ooh, another feminist board game! I finished mine earlier this year. Still tweaking some things. In it, you draw character cards and build your character’s identity using privilege, race, age, and other modifiers. You have a goal and a day that you will die, and you are supposed to complete that goal before you die…

This pretty much says it all about this guy and his ilk:

my only burning concern is why CNN is giving this sentient UTI a platform to speak
