If all lives mattered, maybe you should be smugly saying that to the cops who disproportionately kill black people instead of the people protesting the cops who disproportionately kill black people.

Best analogy I’ve heard: saying “All Lives Matter” is like going to a doctor with a broken arm and being told “All Bones Matter” and sent home without being treated.

It’s doubly weird because apparently these guys are Canadian. So they changed their own anthem to address something going on in a different country. And their message of togetherness is now pissing off people in two different countries.

For all the people who need an explanation on why “All lives matter” is racist: It is a direct refutation of the Black Lives Matter protest movement, which is not claiming black supremacy, but instead an implicit acknowledgment that black lives (also) matter.

that’s fine...its the going out on your own on a stage like this with a new choice of lyrics you created yourself that is my issue.

Could you imagine if someone altered the national anthem in support of Black Lives Matter?

This was complete garbage, don’t change a National Anthem at all...Really don’t change another country’s anthem to fit some political thing going on in your own country.

How hard is this: the things you do while drunk are your fault. The things that happen to you when you are drunk are not.

Makes me feel that she means that rape only happens to bad girls, the good girls know how to dress and do not drink.

Exactly. Women who have regretable sex either admit that or stay silent (there’s a lot of shaming for women all round). Why would they subject themselves to an embarrassing, humiliating experience of trying to bring someone to ‘justice’ for raping them? Most people stay silent about their experiences of rape, because…

Are you sure they’re the same people? Or were they, perhaps, people who posted on the same website?

And I tried to make a rational argument with rape apologists in the past. If a woman has consensual sex with someone and regrets her decision the next day, she doesn’t compound it by going to the police or college administrators thereby prolonging the experience and announcing it to the world forever after. She goes…

I’m not the first to say it, but all advice directed at women on how to avoid being raped essentially boils down to “Make sure the rapist rapes some other girl.”

I guess 76 year old Florence Holway from Alton, NH who was beaten, tied up, raped and sodomized by a guy who broke into her house was just asking for it by being asleep in her flannel nighty. Laura Herrick should be forced to spend an entire weekend in a room full of rape victims. Tie her to a chair and make her…

What’s insulting—and a little worrying, when I think about it—is this conflation between rape and drunken, regretful sex. I, thankfully, have never been raped. I have definitely had drunk sex that I wish I had not had. I would never, EVER tell a woman directly or otherwise imply that she was somehow culpable for her…

Who are these women supposedly “crying rape”? I have literally never met any. Dozens of women who have been raped. Dozens who have had admittedly regrettable sex.

So basically all men are evil rapists and I should make sure to limit my contact with them.

I can see why it was taken down but it's unbearable it was put up in the first place.

Holy fuck, lady.
