It’s almost as if attempts to shout down the #MeToo are more about distracting from efforts to raise awareness about sexual assault and telling women to be quiet than it is about really addressing an underlying problem in this country (for the record- I’m a dude. I just think the whole “men are victims of sexual…
“As for your B), it’s not a question of “what about the men”, it’s a question of “what about ALL victims of sexual assault”? That you don’t believe victims of sexual assault should be considered one unified group but STILL want to divide it into pointless gender-war battlelines might be more telling than you want it…
I didn’t say it wasn’t intended to raise awareness of sexual assault experienced by women. I said that it wasn’t intended to say that sexual assault only occurs to women. The claim was that it ignores sexual assault experienced by men and I was responding to that claim by pointing out what the original blurb did NOT…
Wut? So wut? Saying “x is a problem” doesn’t mean “y is not a problem and we should ignore it and never do anything about it.” If I say “Puerto Rico is really struggling right now” I’m not “ignoring” or dismissing the problems facing the middle east, the middle class, or middle earth. How selfish can you be to hear…
Lol, give me a break. I’m not sure how me posting a comment and then engaging in discussions with people about it is supposed to be a sign that I am shouting at someone and running away, but okay. If you actually wanted to engage with the subject then maybe don’t post an irrelevant comment that had nothing to do with…
Wait, were you under the impression that people can’t disagree with other people’s suggestions?
Lol, I assume you’re kidding? You couldn’t possibly have read what I wrote and figured I was saying that having ANY grievance is silly and inherently selfish, right?
What the what? Who says sharing things that bother them is inherently silly and selfish? I agree that people should strive to improve their friendships, but that doesn’t mean that every reason why they’re upset is legitimate and worthy of being addressed by the other party. Being UPSET/AGGRIEVED about things like not…
I know a couple that uses their significant other as their avatar. So his avatar is a picture of her, and her’s is a picture of him. I don’t know why, but I find it infuriating.
Wow dude. Just...wow.
No, I get that. My point was that having grievances is silly, and inherently selfish. Being upset (or, since you don’t seem to like the word upset, airing grievances) at how your friends having children has changed things in ways that bother you is, IMHO, ridiculous. I get what you’re going for here- I just…
As someone who doesn’t have kids but whose friends and siblings started knocking them out with gusto a few years ago, I can honestly say I think this whole article is nonsense. Your friend(s) had children- it’s one of the single most life altering events that can happen to someone. Being upset that they can’t just put…
If this rule would have prevented Jeff Van Gundy from holding onto someone’s leg for dear life then we need to rescind this rule immediately.
So that’s not ignoring men at all. The original statement was that they should publicly promise to take actions to curb sexual assault- it doesn’t say “use #IWill to talk about ways in which you will defend against sexual assault that only occurs against women.” Pledge to stand up against sexual harassment/assault in…
I’m not sure what you mean. How does this ignore men who have been harassed?
This is a bizarre article. I’m not really sure if the hit was legal, so I expected a citation to the rule or a quote from a league official. Absent that, I expected a discussion about the play. But what I got was moralizing about how football is physically tough on the players. I mean, yeah, completely agree. But…
