That is the same like having a "black president". There is no way a woman elected in such a position is actually politically progressive. The ONLY way she can get this far is because she made it very clear that she would never challenge the boy's club and follow the rules. See Golda Meir, Benazir Buttho and Maggie…

It drives me beyond nuts that even the perspective doesn't exist in public discourse. This is NOT the same as Dominik Brunner and Johnny K. This case has a very important gender aspect to it and nobody even acknowledges it.

Actually, I had one guy doing just the same Right under my comment. I'm not sure what to do? Dismiss his comment? Replying and thus giving him satisfaction?

I did try to talk about it with people who were surprised that it was supposed to have anything to do with w/s/m. I basically had to run them through a gender reverse check. So you think a group of women would have harrassed two underage boys in a public restroom (of the opposite gender)? Really? So you think another…

They were underage, drunk and out at night. Which of course means it is their fault for getting themselves harrassed needing protection of someone else. How dare we blame the group of young men who harrassed them?

It's almost comically. Altherrenrepublik.

It astounds me how Germans have this perspective of themselves as being super progressive when public discourse has been stunted in a "Altherrenrepublik" since the freaking 50s.

It was at night from all I read.

However, if we reverse the genders would it happen?

I keep repearting this. NOBODY in Germany even makes the connections between women and men here. It's like some Orwellian shit.

But of course said guy is white rich male able-bodied privilege to the max and he is already well on track to become a boss and wildly successful.

I had a German guy tell me just the other day that he didn't understand all the fuzz about this gender nonsense - right while this was all over the media.

I think it's very important that there has been absolutely NO discussion in Germany about this having something to do with women/sexism/misogyny AT ALL. It has been exclusively been treated as a case of standing up for civil rights. I had to basically explain it to people in simple language that there is a further…

Lots of the comments on German websites I read blame - ta da - those girls parents for them being out at night drunk and letting themselves get harrassed. Had they been home safe and sound everything would have been alright.

That is one of the ugliest American trees I have ever seen. "Christmas feelings" buy them in a mall - the American way!

Hm....How...why...oh you have a penis? Dumwit. I had a conversation with the mod of a facebook group yesterday after he banned somebody for hateful comment I mention this other dude he wouldn't ban for some reason although he was spouting his sexism every day. If I wasn't feeling shitty enough I could turn on my…

Oh come on. They are reading rich people L.A. new age attraction law bullshit. The opposite of education since that would severely inhibit the ability to stomach that shit.

I'm not at all for violence generally but I would enjoy a good push, a good kick on his penis and a kick to his head would feel very healing. I mean, he wants a reaction. That would be a reaction. Why don't they ever get that kind of reaction?

None of this is true. I just pointed out what you said. You LITERALLY made the point that a population exists entirely of men. I didn't make that up. You said that. I still don't understand where you are coming from. Your 1950s explanation does not fit a degree in gender studies. Whew, how do you talk about queer…

I'm white. I would never use it. But at the same time, yes, I just came across this (sorry, I don't care for top 40 music and am not American) and it just genuinely baffles me. I don't even understand what he is saying but why? So what are white people listening to this supposed to do? Not sing along?
