I think part of what Macabre is harping about is the fact that this is the first line of this piece:

I knew this would crop up on Jezebel, and why why whyyy didn't you include more information? Al-Jazeera has a more detailed analysis, including what the bill ISN'T. Quotes from Twitter already indicate misinformation that the proposed bill is for ALL pregnant women — and it's not. The AG himself says the aim is not to…

No. That's not what that term means, it's not because people are hiring women instead of men because they can pay them less. The reason why male unemployment is worse than female unemployment is because the industries where men maintained a stronghold (manufacturing, etc.) were the hardest hit and industries where…

I wonder why companies, who are supposedly all about the dollar, don't just hire all women? Getting a bunch of $100K women for the low, low cost of $76,500 sounds like a good business decision.

"I think it's fair to interpret the song as "unequivocally rapey" because it unequivocally denies the need for actual consent." Ok, you've got a thesis. Would you care to back it up with a fleshed-out argument and some evidence, as is required of people looking to convince others that they are right? As lots of people…

Especially considering "I know you want it" and similar variations of it is a pretty popular lyric that sees itself in so many other songs, like Pussycat Dolls "Don't Cha"

Ok, keep talking. But come up with better arguments. Just going "Call me a cynic, but that phrase ["I know you want it"] does not exactly encompass the notion of consent in sexual activity" does not make for a robust argument. Neither does decontextualizing the lyrics and superimposing them Project Unbreakable; just…

I don't give a shit about comic books, Harlequinn, or Star Wars for that matter. I just think it's hilarious to watch idiot Jezzies going "A narrative art form depicting a character of a gender that makes up more than half the population attempting to commit suicide!? In a bathtub?! Naked in a bathtub!? Misogyny!!!"

the only fun part of talking with Jezzies is leading them into logic traps and then watching their brains melt because it hurts their poor widdle fee fees. But even that gets tiring pretty quick.

Yeah that was clear to me too, but it still ain't funny.

Following? Physically intimidating? He was standing there saying things to her back as she walked away. Did you even watch the fucking video? And you'd be fine with a man shooting a woman in the box for saying shit to his back as he walked away from her? Really? Somehow I don't believe you and if you're behing honest,…

An endorsement of sexual violence from Jezebel - what a surprise - more double standards. They've already endorsed domestic violence, so why not support this? Cuz, you know, misandry's not a thing, right? I wonder if walking around, singing about stabbing some chick in the box would qualify as "misogyny". Methinks yes.

If a Black Male were to do the exact same thing, it would be all over Fox News by now under the title, "Blacks starting Race Wars". #White Privilege...

She looks great to you. She looks like a linebacker to me. Are you new to this planet? People have different opinions than you. Deal with it and move on.

She looks like a woman whose never worn a dress or heels before and doesn't know how to pose.

And all of those countries have people in them. If the theme is "African Wildlife," call it that. If I said my baby's nursery was "America" themed, and I decorated it with Black bears, alligators, and deer, people would find that a little strange, even though America is a single country, and all of those animals are…

Yeah, "jungle-themed" or "safari" may have been a bit better, but... I still don't think it's worth getting ones panties in a wad over this.

I specifically emerged from lurkerdom to ask: are you serious?
1. "Africa" is not a theme. It's a continent with lots of different countries. Nobody would have a "North America" themed baby room.
2. " Africa" is not a "place he proposed"—he proposed in a particular country and city.
3. He is not directly responsible for…

Even saying it will be 'safari' themed would be a little more palatable.

A lot of people thought Barack Obama could never get elected because of his name. But... there ya go.
