Oooh, now this is YOU being racist. See how you be that?

Can you explain why you’re defending him, when he has done precisely the thing you claim he never does?

Ben Shapiro: “Yes, I remember how the laws drastically changed after Omar Mateen murdered 49 people at a gay nightclub and after Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik murdered 14 at a community center”. Not naming names because that’s what the terrorists would have wanted.

Also Ben Shapiro: “Trayvon Martin would have turned 21 today if he hadn’t taken a man’s head and beaten it on the pavement before being shot.” This is how he refrains from publicizing the shooter’s name.

Wondering about the recent cases at the border we heard about where a child in U.S. custody died due to illness exacerbated by dehydration, and whether that life could have been saved if she had access to the gift of water. I feel irreparably stained by the cruelty and immorality we are demonstrating. This has nothing…

LOL imagining all the bald girls who apparently play basketball in that league, and this one lone child with a ponytail causing concerns. God forbid any of those girls are wearing a hair bow or a headband. It’s hard to laugh because of the sinister undertone of these incidents, but then again, no, the sheer…

I’m glad you agree that the physics department can invite whoever they’d like to speak while excluding others, and are under no obligation to provide space to anyone with a crackpot physics theory, while the crackpot physicists of the world are free to rent the wedding facilities without ideological checks.

It’s also that he almost lost to a Democrat in an extremely reliably-Republican district, and they need to get someone in there now to hold that seat.

Exactly.

They chose him on purpose for that role, because they care.

This is happening for one reason only: they know they might lose his seat next time, after he almost lost in November, and that any candidate who primaries him will be weaker in the general against the Democrat, so they are trying to replace him now in order to hold on to that seat in a deep-red district and hand it…

That’s when I got the notification. If it’s not about invites, then don’t talk about invites. Very simple.

I have encountered this problem quite often myself, where men seem to be completely baffled by the extent and regularity of the problem. A few of them may have lived such sheltered, quiet lives that they didn’t experience a lot of socializing with other people, so I can see where it’s surprising to them, but usually…

Or we could ask, like this person is asking, for metoo to focus on these cases rather than trying to spread advocacy into gray areas where we are suddenly deciding that a woman’s yes is meaningless.

Of course people can care; you can think what you like and praise or criticize whichever journalists you like. But it becomes a problem when you start taking away the meaning of yes, and acting like consent isn’t enough and isn’t real. On the other hand, if you would read that person’s heartfelt comment, couched in…

Thank you. Could not agree more. When people act like “yes” doesn’t give real consent, then they are taking away my agency to give a meaningful yes. I am not a child or lacking the necessary intellect to decide for myself what I want. If someone talks me into consenting, then I consented, even if I think he’s being a…

You’re right. I have no idea what these people are talking about. How is that “gray area”? It’s a crime. 

That’s nonsense. If I make my boyfriend brush his teeth first, is that abusive dynamics at play? Come on. Nobody is “forcing” you to have sex with a guy who wants a certain eye makeup. Just don’t have sex with him. Solved.

How is this sexual harassment, exactly?

Getting a yes is not rape unless there is some reason why the person could not exercise her own judgment to produce that yes - for instance, you’re threatening her life, the live of her loved ones, threatening to steal her money, you’re pretending to be her twin, she’s very drunk. Otherwise YES means consent is there,…
