He’s the one who contacted Leslie Jones to dress her when she said no one would.
This. He looks great in this stunning dress, and I applaud him for doing what he wants to do instead of what society tells him he should do. But in choosing this aesthetic, he stands on the shoulders of people he routinely denigrates in his music, and that is not cool.
Do we really have to go into why this is a problem again??
Yes one can commit a hate crime without having a clear malicious intent. Someone painting swastika on a synagogue may be a young person completely ignorant of the full connotations, or dumb enough to think it a hilarious prank. Doesn’t make it any less hateful to the recipient.
But what makes it OK is that she’s agreed to it.
So would firing someone from a job because they're female be a hate crime. Your definition is so broad it makes anything a hate crime
yet, they grow out of the same thing - hate. Hence the name hate crime / hate offence.
catcalling is a derogatory activity, in the same way a racists could tell racist jokes in front of a non-white person. Both would fall under the category of a hate crime/offence. Hate crime does not necessarily needs to be a violent murder.
wolf-whistle is derogatory unsolicited behaviour toward a woman, which can also be perceived as threatening and often leads to insults, if the victim fails to respond in a way that offender expects. So yes, by definition this would fall under the category of hate crime or at least an offence. Hope your little brain…
Literally can’t believe I have to explain this.
I do see the difference but not all instances of hate crimes are major. It seems as though the British think the same way we do in Canada, that it isn’t the gravity of the act but the result it has that matters in classifying this as a hate crime.
actually, to be on the receiving end of a catcall feels something like when someone yells “fuck you, n***er!” at a stranger in the street. it doesn’t feel like a compliment, it feels like a dehumanisation and a threat. it feels like hate. you are saying “my feelings about your body matter more than your feelings of…
dehumanising people is a form of hatred—many of the nazis didn’t actively hate the jews, they just saw them as less than human so it was easier to kill them then it would have been to kill other people like fellow germans. when you see someone as an animal you think less about your treatment of them. that is a kind of…
actually yeah it is—seeing a woman and thinking “wow she’s fuckable” and then thinking that you have the right to announce your opinion on her fuckability to her in public shows that you see her as less than human, that you recognise her female social status as less than yours and therefore feel it is her place to…
Hahaha. Yeah that is not why men cat call.
no, you catcall them because you feel they are less human than you are and you want to make an expression of social dominance and power because it puffs up your fragile ego.
Guys who do this often hate woman but love vagina. Proof? Ignore them and watch how quickly they call you a bitch or get physically threatening.
But you’re doing it because you feel you have the right to objectify them since, in your opinion, they’re second class citizens, so it is a hate crime.
Harassment and love aren’t the same thing.
