Honestly as a trans woman myself, one of the most frustrating parts of Caitlyn’s transition has been watching cis feminists line up and talk about Caitlyn in generalizations and stereotypes that are either ignorant of or deliberately trying to overlook the Ivanka Trumps of the world. This idea that somehow Caitlyn’s…

She should be shown respect, and she should not be misgendered, and it does indeed take courage to come out (especially as a public figure). Those things are still true. She can both be criticized for her bigoted/ignorant views and also be given basic human respect—those things are not mutually exclusive.

So I need to ask a favor: You guys—the sane and mostly sane ones with power—you have got to ignore him. I’m serious. Please. For the love of everything halfway decent and remotely sane in this rapidly plummeting world.

Wearing a hijab doesn’t make a Muslim, there are enough women not wearing them and calling themselves Muslims. It is an expression of the culture the women come from, some wear a hijab, others just scarves, others have their head uncovered.

Could you really, for a second, stop, read what you wrote, and realize you still haven’t made an argument? You’ve just mashed a bunch of bullshit together doing line by line retorts of what ever another person said. That is lazy, at best. Why are you wasting your time regurgitating tired arguments and phrases (hurr…

I was pointing to the strawman in your kvetch about strawmen, using your own words. Seemed clever for 2pm at the office. c’est la vie.

hey dumb-dumb:

I’m bringing this bigoted piece of shit out of the greys in hopes they’ll be banned. Not just anti-Muslim bigotry but some good old transphobia thrown in for good measure.

I’ll give you this: even though your trolling arguments are dumb, poorly thought out and executed, and just all around sad, you sure are tenacious. You got that “go get ’em” attitude that all trolls definitely need. I think with a bit more practice, you could very well troll with the best of them. Don’t you give up on…

Is that all you’ve got? “You’re ignorant!” - So show me exactly what I’m ignorant of then.

Take a look through the commenting history. It also uses the “anti-white” nonsense popular among neo-Nazis. That one is basically screaming “I’m a white supremacist” at the top of your lungs. No one else uses that rhetorical red flag.

Intolerant? You seem to think that’s a bad thing,

They intentionally target petty criminals, particularly in Europe. The skills a petty criminal is likely to develop transfer well into the business of terrorism. al-Zarqawi, the leader of AQI until his death in 2006 and the guy who basically orchestrated the insurgency in Iraq, began his adulthood as a drop out and…

Other than illustrating your racism (no one well-educated uses primitive in the way you’re using it, just PS), this is yet another vapid and empty comment.

As I suspected there’s already another piece of shit vile enough to upvote your deranged ignorance.

So, when faced with evidence that Islam is not some uniform monolith of oppressive sexism, you totally ignore that and act as if you didn’t just see something which contradicts your view.

You then claim that ‘islamophobia’ doesn’t exist, that all Muslims necessarily support everything proscribed in every Islamic…

You are a walking bag of ignorance and stereotypes. It’s abundantly clear you have no actual knowledge of Islam, of the Middle East, or of anything relevant to this discussion. You’ve got a bunch of bigoted talking points you stole from hate sites.

To underscore your point; a traditional religious education negatively correlates with extremism. That’s why many people recruited by extremist groups weren’t religious before. Their ideal recruit is someone with only a minimal formal religious education but with a strong sense of grievance.

In total fairness, it was my (very-limited) understanding that Kendall has next to no formal education, and even if she has a high school diploma, I would not exactly put much stock in her having done the work to get it. In D&D terms, she pretty much put all her points into boosting Charisma and left Intelligence and…

I think the prank is harmless by itself, but putting it online for strangers to watch is not just shitty but makes it completely different from the pranking and hazing stories people are sharing in these comments.
