It’s not just that - they try to silence the Muslim women speaking up about this issue, too. I hate, hate, HATE that (white) feminists would rather sacrifice young girls and women, whether natives or immigrants, to the altar of political correctness lest all hate groups have something against the immigrants. Because…

And so many responses here were apologists! They were split between saying it’s a just problem with all males, or Oktoberfest has issues too so it’s ok, or outright denial saying they were overblown lies by neo-nazis.

I emailed Jezebel this afternoon after seeing the BBC article, and after several days of feeling appalled that there hadn’t been a single follow up to what is a huge story for anyone following women’s issues. I’m assuming others here did as well and they finally realised that maybe having 4 articles in two days on…

My response to my (all too many) “progressive” friends wringing their hands over the right-wing using this to be racist is, “Probably some people will do that, which is all the more reason for us to offer a constructive response that shows how to advocate for women.”

and yet we never talk about this, and its not the right wing trying to silence women. Its the left wing, (its our own people) saying we need to shut up about the rape of almost 1000 women. I mean it really tells you how crazy the world has gotten when liberals are telling you to be quiet about the rape of almost 1000…

Based on the tone of the post, it seems as though the shooter was almost certainly drunk.

Unless the perpetrator is a close relative. If your son is stealing from you to support his drug habit, you don’t often call the cops.

From the Houston Press:

I’ve the sudden urge to go play Civ 5.

yeaaaaaaaa blaze it

This is not a baby step. It’s propaganda, it’s a mirage. Saudi will still be Saudi, funneling cocaine and meth money to ISIS, handing school children textbooks that depict Jews as rabid Pigs, beheading Indonesian maids for practicing “witchcraft”and walking the streets bashing women for the audacity to show ankle or a…

I wonder if the name is in any way related to Walter O’Dim from the Dark Tower series. Both men are basically the devil and just about everywhere you look.

So true. According to movies and TV all you have to do is hit someone in the face once and they’re either unconscious for 5 mins or they’ll stop and glare at you while wiping the blood from their nose or mouth, and check it to verify that you made them bleed their own blood...then the real fight happens haha.

The compositional differences between a male and female body are significant enough that I don’t think the fight is as simple as “Wrestlers win unless they are stupid”, even if they are the same size in the ring.

Pretty sure it's just the hypocrisy behind her dating an alleged wife beater in Travis Browne. She also has had nothing to say about the likes of War Machine, Rumble Johnson, Thiago Silva and a host of others in her own sport. Fuck all those guys with a rusty screwdriver.

per mayweathers actual skill as a boxer (yes hes a piece of shit) dudley would be a better fit. also a rousey abel skin wouldve been sublime. this is still cool for what it was, i guess. lol

The unrepentant killer is worse.

Agreed - your remark about our actions being perceived as "not authentic" no matter what resonated with me. And if white people don't talk about this stuff, how are we supposed to be able to apply social pressure to get other white people to care, to think beyond the way they experience the world?

What about talking about it for the purpose of encouraging others to do the same? I do sometimes have to remove someone, not just racism, but all kinds of things I don't want to see on my feed, sexism, graphic photos, candy crush invites, and I usually follow up with a post saying "I'm not into this, if you want to…

I find most of this essay very powerful. One area I wonder about is where you think good white people feel like they should be rewarded - what should good white people do then? Not delete trolls? Not be outraged? Keep the outrage to themselves? I understand the frustration of people seemingly wanting to be…
