Statistically speaking: Someone does care about your boner. #AmIrite?
So a woman is telling you about being harassed on the street, and your response is "I don't believe you"?
On the flipside, I don't call myself a feminist. I never will. And I do use the term "feminazi". Why? Because I have had strangers scream at me on the street for "setting back to women's movement" by wearing a skirt. Or working as a waitress. Or choosing to be a homemaker.
I was asking a question, chill out. You know how people learn things? They ask questions. The only one being ignorant here is you; if you can't handle people asking to be informed about how a law works you need to gain some maturity and stop being so childish.
It's not particularly nationalistic; tasteskindasalty is on point when he/she notes that American IP laws generally only cover American IPs and the citizens that produce them. They -can- be levied against citizens of other countries (and likewise citizens of other countries can levy the IP laws of their own nations…
Not to defend the MRA clusterfuckbrains on the other article, but Jezebel did say (in their original reporting on the article):
"However, as Jezebel reported, Faircloth had a long history of making contradictory statements online[...]"
Yes, it must be so nice for her to simply 'move on'. She only very publicly accused someone of rape, after all.
"Good for her" is not where I would go with this.
No it isn't. According to Jezebel, if a man is accused of something, that should be enough to convict him. The hell with a trial, due process of law, or even an investigation. If it just so happens that he didn't do whatever we accuse him of, there is prolly something else that he did in the past that he was never…
Jezebel Memes: Angry woman finding sexism in every aspect of every day life; perfectly acceptable.
I think feminism's issues with creating an echo chamber and driving out any dissenters started long before the "safe space" stuff started... but yeah, I agree.
Well, it's not possible to talk about on *these* forums without coming off as an MRA, but it's possible in other places. I agree with the general sentiment that you're relaying, though.
Actually, there's very little research on intimate partner violence within LGBTQ relationships, but much of the better research on it suggests that rates of violence within same-sex relationships are roughly the same as rates within heterosexual relationships. If lesbians are beating each other up at the same rates…
Gender equality just isn't everyone's passion, and y'all are gonna have to learn to make your peace with that instead of picking on people for it. It's fine, really! I bet many of you are just bored to tears by environmental activism, or by trying to find a cure for cancer, or economic justice, or whatever other…
Oh, PLEASE. Like we can't do BOTH. IT'S CALLED STAR TREK: VOYAGER and also the FUTURE. SPACE FEMINISM, LADIES, FEMINISM IN SPACE. WOMEN GET TO WEAR SHINY SILVER JUMPSUITS ALL DAY WHILE DRIVING SPACESHIPS AND AIN'T NOTHING ANY MAN OR MALE ALIEN CAN DO ABOUT IT. GET WITH IT, LANA.
Is it me or doesn't any one else get that Louis clearly wrote this scene as sexual assault. For one thing he had Pamela call him out on it, "You can't even rape well." It is his show. He approved of that. If he didn't think what his character was doing was sexual assault, Pamela would have gone along willingly with…
Why choose? I'm going with both.
I don't think it's a stretch at all. Behavior is adaptive. But we use it to adapt to our environments. And claiming that we behave the way we do now because of adaptations our ancestors made 100,000 years ago makes no sense. That said, obviously many of our behaviors — especially the ones not under our conscious…
