Seniority isn’t marginalization.

I hate to break it to people, but she’s a frosh.  Her place in Congress will be a seat somewhere near the middle while other people do 90% of the stuff.  

“There are many mass shooters that haven’t abused women beforehand.”

I can imagine why a troll would by hyper invested in coming into a majority women’s site and trying to argue ad nauseum that violence against women has nothing to do with a huge portion of violence in our society at large.

Not as weak as your arguments where several people you’ve noted do have a history of violence against women. Do all men that commit domestic violence or sexual harassment become mass shooters? No. Do a large number of mass shooters that are not specifically committing terrorism for radical purposes have histories of…

Wow, you sure told me. I’m sure the families of the 12 dead people are concerned about the semantics of “touched” vs “groped.”

The point is to try and obscure the facts that make them uncomfortable with a mountain of derails and bullshit. This “Here’s at least one shooter” who didn’t have a history when every freaking mass shooter who made the news had a history of stalking, assaulting, or harassing a woman or women is. . . well, precious.…

You have to wonder what his issue is, right? Like, why not admit the very obvious facts? It’s like he doesn’t want to “give” this to women or something.

I still don’t think that’s high enough to be causal, but then again I feel we are both probably closer to agreement than it seems. I blame talking on the internet instead of face to face...

just imagine if you would have said that on the root where you deny that people of color experience racism! fuck you, protroll

OK bro.

it’s 2018, quit denying violence against women is a thing, donkey

It doesn’t matter what you think though... this is correlation with many many mass shooters. Are you a social scientist, psychologist/psychiatrist? Have you done research on this matter? You can’t just negate that this information is real. 

Look, I can see by your other comments that A) you can google just fine and B) you are super committed to pretending that violence towards women, specifically domestic partners, has not been identified as a pattern in mass shooters. You are also really invested in pretending that everyone is saying correlation =…

Enginerrrrrrrrr seems to be wilfully misunderstanding. No one is saying causal--over and over again--except them.

Who said my goal was to keep people out of jail?

If he had, say, shoved her or thrown something, I’d have more leniency in my personal judgment on him. That, to me, is “impulsive” behavior. But he grabbed at her breasts and butt: that seems different to me. It seems more personal, because of the added sexual dimension in a decidedly non-sexual situation. I don’t…

“Teenagers are impulsive and their brains are still forming.”

I dont have any clue what youre trying to say here.

All of this is true but just imagine if he was a black kid and what they would have said to her.
