You do realize that Game of Thrones is based heavily on the real historical event known as the War of Roses right? A series of wars over the control of the English throne between 1455 and 1487? You do realize that black characters aren’t excluded from the narrative because *gasp* black characters had nothing to do

In what world is 182 incidents out of a population of 4.641 Million people considered rampant?

If each one of those 182 incidents represents one person in Ireland, we are looking at something like 0.00003921568 of the population of Ireland. Racism isn’t good, but let’s not blow things out of proportion here painting

Yea one or two universities, with a sample size of like 300 responses, which was then extrapolated to provide a nationwide sexual assault number. It’s mind boggling

Devil’s advocate here. I’m not going to say that anger can’t be a valuable emotion, but history and psychology tell us it’s also a very dangerous emotion.

Or, like I said, we can take a second to just agree that we shouldn’t do it at all, and not try and rationalize or justify it. It may not be equality on a major scale on the bigger issues our society as a whole faces, but it is still a conversation about one little issue on equality. Want to start making changes?

Totally meant to state that every other third comment was some MRA chewing apart feminists in that last post. Apologies for the oversight folks

Or you know, you could just say “point taken, let’s not make fun of women or men for the way they look on tv” and focus on the bigger picture. Instead, every second comment in this thread is an insult because the dude pointed out what he saw (admittedly a weak argument for double standards, dude needs to take a course
