Yes they do it constantly, hence the complaints like "where is white history month?", "where is straight pride?"

ETA: Then again, this.

What is the connection between a guy who was found not guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, and thus was never incarcerated, and the mass incarceration problem? His acquittal entitled him to not being incarcerated. It didn’t entitle him to anyone’s respect, to not have to answer questions, or to be free from criticism.…

His full statement on his Facebook is even more frustrating to read because when he says, “I cannot bring this young woman who was someone else’s daughter, someone’s sister and someone’s mother back to life,” he is only finding this woman’s value from her relationship with to men/children, not simply in her humanity

As a victim of rape (and a woman of colour), I was unable to get through the whole transcript. I feel like throwing up, to be perfectly honest.

Why do we want AI to respond with stupid, snark and racist remarks?

Why are you assuming the victim is a white woman? Why do you think not holding rapists accountable will help innocent black men?

I wonder if you gesticulate so in the comments sections of articles about black men who are beat/killed by police after 911 was called on them by a white woman who was “uncomfortable.”

I’m super curious about what this movie will be like. The original (SHORT) story is about a mother’s relationship with her daughter, and some aliens who are “observing” us. No explosions, no human death. Lots of scientific process over the course of months.

Yeah, like I said on the io9 article, it really seems like they’re taking a very small, intimate story and trying to turn it into a large-scale, high-stakes blockbuster movie. I have a feeling all the cool philosophical themes that make up the real meat of the original story are going to be completely overshadowed,…

Was it widely accepted that if you got drunk and went to a guy’s room, where you fell asleep alone in a room while he was in another room, that was consent to not just him penetrating you, but him inviting two of his friends to penetrate you along with him?

I wouldn’t claim to know exactly why particular rape victims report or don’t, but Parker’s victim’s attack was different from the common experiences you mention in a few ways: it involved being penetrated by multiple men at the same time, one of whom was a stranger; she went to bed alone (the men were in another room…

“I stand here, a 36-year-old man, 17 years removed from one of the most painful moments in my life. And I can imagine it was painful, for everyone. I was cleared of everything, of all charges. I’ve done a lot of living, and raised a lot of children. I’ve got five daughters and a lovely wife. My mom lives here with me;…

“I’m not try, trying to be mean, but, I felt like you put yourself in that situation, you know what I mean?” said Parker. “I really felt like I didn’t do anything wrong.”

I ... it troubles me ... okay a lot of things about this trouble me, but what really sticks in my mind right this second is that she was so distraught, she attempted suicide, but all he can talk about right now is how this is affecting his life.

I hope her husband gets executed. End whatever legacy he was so obsessed with creating because he was weak-minded and selfish.

Fuck, this is why, no matter what happens in my life, I’m glad I left the church. It’s always about submission to authority, no matter if that authority deserves it or not. And it always centers around the man of the church, man of the family. If shit is bad, it always comes down to being somehow YOUR fault, for not…
