I read the whole tread. People have explained you multiple times how things work and how by pretending to care about gun legislation, you’re advocating for blocking muslim people from jobs, airplane travel, etc.

The thing is that watchlist is full of names of young students from Somali or Afghan origen, hard workers who were seen praying or who use a hijab, etc. People who are perceived as possible terrorists because they’re muslim and/or brown and their own neighbours or colleagues have thought they look suspicious.
In that…

But Amy makes jokes about her (perceived) fatness all the time and she gets hell mad when other people call her fat. So why would she do the same to someone close to her?

Also, all this keeps me thinking about this TED talk - Why domestic violence victims don’t leave.
Because people think it can’t be domestic violence if the woman is perceived as strong or worldly/experienced, which is obviously the image Amber has tried to portray for years. But that’s exactly the reason she was a…

Just FYI (in case you didn’t know already) when you google something like “Johnny Depp violence” and you get a lot current news about A.H., you can try again with “Johnny Depp violence -Amber -Heard” to avoid all those news. Or go to “Search Tools”-”Any time” and select a custom range like from 1990 to 2010 or…

Since they were communicating through Facebook messages, he probably used her picture and that would make it obvious it has her he was impersonating. So hopefully he did that.

And even if he did, pointing out that he noted something different in her complexion that specific day can also support the opposite theory, that she was bruised and thus had a layer of makeup covering that and making her skin look flawless.

#Alllivesmatter until it’s a black kid vs. an animal nobody usually cares about.
And it’s obviously the mom’s fault and not a zoo where a 4 year old kid can easily climb a fence and fall with the gorillas. :(

Maybe I read too much into it and dude’s not as awful. But I read it as him saying she’s like a diva but with no talent. Pretty and super famous but not a good actress. Which obviously is false and a super weird thing to say about someone with the career and nominations as her, but...

Yes. How do we support people who do it by choice to have the most rights and the best work environment, without harming the vast majority of women doing a similar job but in a complete different situation?
Why do people want to make laws and decisions based on the privileged minority if that affects negatively on the…

The comment about her entourage seems like he wanted to be best friends with her, but she was happy hanging out with the people she already knew and just having a professional relationship with him. The nerves!

And “funny” that both the mother and father of the kid were there and both missed him climbing the fence, but nobody’s harassing the dad.

Feelings are not knowledge. :(
Words have meaning and there are whole books and University programs and research centres exploring race/gender/class issues. So to define something as racism/sexism/classism because you *feel* something based at most on a one sentence definition of a word and not on real information…

Du weißt. ;)

English is my fifth fluent language and I made a mistake. Sorry.

Yes! I had just finished rambling about that. But I saw a video of her daughter arriving at LAX and being surrounded by reporters who kept bothering her, while he somehow keeps flying from one country to the next without problems. If they have hundreds of millions of dollars, I’m sure they can do something to protect…

Yes yes.
I just meant that I understand that a teenager who’s in the public eye is being pressured to speak publicly (which is pretty sexist. His dad is giving interviews and playing in front of the cameras without being bothered, while her teenage daughter arrives alone at the airport and a bunch of reporters…

I totally agree with you that we shouldn’t make fun of a real problem that a dude who’s not a feminist scholar is going through. But at the same time it’s important to call things by their name because that helps us understand the actual problems, where they come from, how they affect us and how to stop them.
In his…

And she’s not even 18. Of course she’s going to defend her dad and of course she won’t think of the plight of women and systematic violence, when she’s just a naïve privileged teenager. It’s kind of nice that she’s defending her dad, actually. The problem are the grown up women and men who should know better but still…

Objectifying someone is completely wrong, but it’s not inherently sexist. Just as not giving some white guy a job or non inviting a rich kid into a team. All those actions are wrong and should be definitely avoided. But they’re not sexist/racist/classist.
