Did you just all lives matter me

And here’s the crux of why we have this divide: That assumption that your experience is superior to someone who faces a totally different experience all on the basis of where you live.

Agreed. The premiere worked for me for two reasons:

Counterpoint : if you don’t read the comics, avoided the chatter and conjecture all summer and just watched the show last night, like I did, it was totally worth it.

Your move, Derek Rose.

I think the article is saying that because the play resulted in a loss of down the clock should of kept running? Even though it was penalty? This makes zero sense to me. Although the article is so poorly written it’s hard to tell.

All I can say is thank CHRIST they penalized that one guy for jumping up and down after his team scored a touchdown. We need to keep that sort of behavior in check.

Chris Jericho is the coolest guy ever. Sure, he got worked by the finish, but he was legitimately concerned about the well being of another worker. He stood up to Brock, knowing that if an actual fight broke out, he would get eaten alive. That is what a locker room leader does.

Also, Jericho fought Goldberg backstage…

Nice try, Peter.

I think maybe the author too harsh in her assessment or not fully understanding what a man may mean when he says something to the effect of... “Before I had a daughter, I thought...”. Also, maybe empathy is the wrong word to use (yes I realize I am mansplaining here but I feel the point is a good one - yeah me!). I…

I keep re-reading this post, and the tone just keeps confusing me.

People should evolve. There’s nothing wrong with gaining empathy as you grow older, as circumstances in life give you an appreciation of people walking different paths.

So, if I have this right, your point is it shouldn’t take having a daughter to be a feminist, to treat women with the fairness and respect that they deserve. You shouldn’t have to have a daughter to realize that rape is dehumanizing.

Why do you assume that such framing refers to women that the speaker feels possessive about? Can’t it be that, for example, Obama is asking men to think about the women they care about? When he said, “Trayvon could have been my son,” was that possessive or an act of empathy?

Her piece isn’t about answering your question. It’s about feeling righteous.
