I don’t disagree with the larger premise of this article, so I’m not contradicting you at all -
However I can’t altogether agree with this: the male vocalists in pop-punk and emo are not known for their singing ability. It’s too easy to single out Tom Delonge, who is easily among the most terrible pop-punk singers (my…

It is base, vile horseshit, and to use a man’s death as a distraction from a discussion too many want to see shut down is cowardly and ghoulish in the extreme

“Cancel Culture” did not kill Alec Holowka.

Its so disturbing to me that just because his sister said “he was responsible for causing harm” means that all the allegations are totally proven. What is proven is that a man is dead. Also what is proven is that if there wasn’t a public pillory of him he would be alive. It seems like him ending his own life did…

Everyone deserves to keep their dignity, including the accused. I don’t necessarily agree that “cancel culture” killed him, but he was clearly already suffering, and the tsunami of hate and abuse from people not willing to wait to find out if the stories were true, probably did kill him.

Perhaps if victims went to the authorities instead of Twitter as a first port of call, things like this would not happen. If news sites posted unbiased news for all sides of arguments then things like this would not happen either. Sadly things like this are done as a means of boosting follower counts and revenues…

No, it sounds about right. TERFs and other patriarchy supportive radical misogynists have been actively targetting that group, and while the TERFs have been hoping to turn out more 2nd wave lesbian activists, it has had a lot of splashover to all LGBT people.

What’s reported to have happened is terrible. What actually happened bears little resemblance to that report. In the CNN interview Nathan Phillips said he put himself between the MAGAs and a group of black men - Black Hebrew Israelites; then marched into the MAGA group, where they mostly parted, except for the one…

“Hey, I’ve already made up my mind that you suck; want to make some comments that won’t seriously be considered and included, without context, at the end of the hit piece I’ve already written?”

That didn’t happen because they didn’t want to know Singal’s deal, they wanted to write an outrage piece.

No.

She later recanted her allegations

As an older woman, mother of adult children and lover of wee little kiddies, I think women prefer to give hugs much of the time because we are nurturers. I would venture a guess that many men received nurturing from their mothers, and not so much from their fathers (though I’m sure that’s changing with today’s young,…

I like the saying ‘trust but verify’. Trust the victim, give them the support they need and work to verify the truth of the accusations without throwing the accused to the wolves. That just seems reasonable to me.

Yeah I was confused in the original article as well : it’s just important to use a name instead of a pronoun where the pronoun’s use might be ambiguous. For example, the pronoun ‘they’ was used to describe Ben, but also Ben and Liv both, in one single sentence, which was very confusing. It’s not a problem of pronouns…

This site is about blackballing people over alleged incidents.

You are completely missing the point. No one is saying that being a stripper makes you a feminist. However, you can be a feminist and a stripper, and you can be a feminist when you interact with strippers, or you can be an anti-feminist and shame and marginalize them. Let me ask you this: does being a stay at home…

Ok, this is why the whole ‘That’s not very feminist’, ‘you can’t do x and be feminist’ thing pisses me right the hell off. People rather be bitching about semantics and titles rather than actually fight for the promotion of women’s equal rights. Who cares what women choose to do with their body, I only care when…

Fuck off. Part of being a feminist is deciding what to do with your own body. If I want to sell my body for money that’s my fucking right and you trying to take away my feminist title is controlling and assholish. Disapprove of my lifestyle all you want but you don’t get to decide who is and isn’t feminist.

I would really like to know how my super religious brother in law explained to his 9 year old daughter that he voted for a man who think sexual assault is no big deal
