Or just dump the asshole, because if you need to resort to MRA-lite tactics to stop him from being an asshole, then he’s not worth it.

From a memo from Gawker Media executive editor John Cook:
What would you do if you weren’t a Bear?
If only Sean Penn was there too, we’d get the Holy Trinity of Douchery
Jesus. Both Charlie Sheen and Justin Bieber on Today? That’s the douchebag motherlode. The douchebag hoard of Smaug. The douchebag event horizon. The douchebag Gotterdammerung.
It’s really saying something if Bieber thinks you’re a douche.
Maybe the Biebz just thinks Charlie Sheen is a dick (like the rest of us), regardless of status.
“In and around this perplexing time, I dazedly chose or hired the companionship of unsavory and insipid types. Regardless of their saltless reputations, I always led with condoms and honesty when it came to my condition. Sadly my truth soon became their treason, as a deluge of blackmail and extortion took center stage…
Exactly - it is completely nonsensical! Like Jezebel, often times with trans-related matters, it is very frustrating when disagreeing with a sub-agenda causes people who promote that sub-agenda to claim you are against the entire cause.
“I’m afraid of deep things” is just pretty great and wonderful. And hey, she owned it. She’s not allergic to deep things, she’s not intestinally sensitive to deep things, she hasn’t been warned by her doctor or chiropractor or astrologist not to drink from deep things. She’s just afraid of deep things. I can respect…
Incitement to racial hatred is a crime in the UK. Also denying someone a service because of their race, religion or sexuality, spectacularly illegal. This stupid asshole broke the law and advertised it. I do not feel sorry for her. We have these laws to prevent situations like, if I’m correct, you have in some states…
You do realize that the US and the UK have different laws?
I’m not aware of the specific details of Major’s arrest, but it’s fairly unlikely that she was handcuffed and bundled off by burly jack-booted goons. She was probably asked to go to her local police station so she could be informed of the charges against her, have her paperwork processed, and then released on her own…
but, she is denying service to a group of people based on race and religion. she isn’t just an idiot that put a stupid, racist post on her facebook. she is a business owner discriminating. i think that is illegal. . it would be like advertising for an apartment (as an example)and saying “no muslims allowed”. that is…
If it’s illegal for a business to discriminate or refuse service on the basis of race or religion, and she was ADVERTISING her intent to do just that...wouldn’t that be the reason behind arresting her?
Enforcing reasonable limits on free speech is what civilised societies do, both in the US and the UK. You can absolutely dispute where nations choose to draw those legal lines, but arguing that any and all restraints on expression are fascist is not practical, helpful or accurate.
Arresting her is part of the lawful judicial process that the government goes through in order to enact those fines or community service orders. Arresting and charging her with unlawful discrimination triggers a series of procedures (and important legal protections for her) that make those mild punishments possible in…
According to the Equality Act of 2010, businesses in the UK are forbidden from refusing service on the basis of religion, belief, race or sexual orientation. Period. Citizens have a right to equal treatment, whether they’re gay, transgender, black, Jewish or Muslim. It’s not ok for businesses to treat folks like…
Thrown in jail? For racial discrimination? Hell yes.
