Men will never have the experience of being a woman threatened with gendered violence and sexual violence on the internet because they aren't women. They'll literally never know what it's like. There's nothing wrong with that, but it's essential to understand when approaching gendered issues.

It's different when it's men threatening men. I agree with your second comment.

We're not talking about trolling. We're talking about gendered threats of violence.

Only if it's the white sister / daughter / some relative of a man who has never drank or stripped or looked at porn whose relative is a white male politician. And what will happen is a bunch of Facebook posts, speeches, and if we're lucky, some kind of legislation that puts the onus on the woman, instead of law…

Because men don't experience it.

Or you give a shit about them when they seemingly exist only as objects for your sexual gratification, and after that you start not giving a shit again. Who hoo!

The lack of judgement is so appalling I wouldn't want them deciding the speed limits where I live (they probably chose 69 mph anyway). But in all serious, it's the entitlement, poor judgment, and complete disregard and empathy for other humans that makes these morons unfit to lead.

No one does a hot summer video like Britney's "Slave 4 U"! I sweat at the mere memory of that episode of Making the Video. #rip

It's not her that's making him have an emotional affair and hide it - it's him. I've seen friends time and time again blame the girl (who is obviously toxic as well - she's not off the hook), but in the end if he's prone to this behavior with her, he'll be prone to it with someone else. I'd get rid of them both…

HAHAHAHA yes good point!

I think it's like getting punched in the breast (I have lots of younger cousins and brothers, it's not by choice) - it's fucking excruciating and that sickening-pain that (I don't find) cramps to have.

Where on earth do you live??? I'm in disbelief but I'm also flat out wondering where you could be that you think overt racism doesn't exist. And what do you mean by overt racism? You mean people walking down the street yelling the n-word? Crowds burning crosses? Separate water foundations? Where have you ever seen any…

I don't think choosing a side means you have a certain quota of information. Choosing a side means you take what you know about this case - limited as it may be - and the world and follow your experience and your intuition to identify with what you think is morally acceptable. You don't have a gut feeling? Look, I…

Lol it's like how a woman in her first trimester is "less pregnant"...you still pregnant girl!

It's not. That's a lazy way that "enlightened" Northerns sweep their own issues under the rug and place themselves on a post-racial pedestal by blaming everything on class or building a freeway over communities that reflect the impact of racism (I'm not a Southerner but I've lived all over the US)

I think you need to ask yourself why you don't want to pick a side. This isn't an issue that lends itself to being morally ambiguous, IMO. By not choosing a side, I'd actually venture that you are choosing a side. By being quick to ask for approved varieties of evidence and having a completely detached emotional…

RACE DOESNT EXIST. WE'RE ALL WHITE IN HIS EYES (that's a huge compliment btw).

Don't be willfully blind. It's everywhere. You're foolish if you actually believe otherwise.

It'll definitely be super inconvenient! That's real - but it sounds like you're willing to take that inconvenience to protect your relationship, which sounds to me like it's built to last! Well done y'all :)
