I’m guessing they were reasonably fearful, as they went to the police. So, it’s all totes fine because he didn’t realize he was harassing them? That’s FUCKED.

You are right that it isn’t a straw man argument, because unlike a strawman, there are real people arguing against the agency of women. Even a sheltered man will encounter these arguments if he’s paying attention.

They’re pretty much two sides of the same coin.

The vast majority of those calling for criminal negligence charges won’t be specific about who it is that should be charged. This is what happens when people think to much using abstractions like social constructs. These abstractions work great for modeling complex phenomenon such as institutional racism, but when it…

What culture isn’t prone to fanaticism of some type?

What’s the goal of a protest like this? End hate? End crappy graffiti? We’ll end hunger, war, and likely death before we end hate and crappy graffiti.

You are bad at thinking.

#NotAllMen’ing doesn’t help a fucking thing.

I’m more interested in a conversation where we make sure that cops don’t beat kids for relatively minor things.

No we don’t. Steps are already in place. Ask the pros.

You say “if” a lot.

No. I cannot imagine a black woman’s life wherein her life circumstances are such that they are actually only applicable to any black person rather than individuals of other races.

This is not true and is the kind of “certainty” that leads people to limit themselves which I think is shitty. As a black woman, the person whose shared life experiences were closest to mine was Latino and didn’t look like me at all.

“Assuming that all people of a certain skin tone are going to relate to you...”

“... I meant exclusionary preferences; like “I refuse to date black people, I will only date white people”

If you refuse to date all black women, some part of you must believe them inferior or else you would get to know something about them personally before making a judgment call.

If your “type” is your race alone... you’re a racist. By definition.
