But I wonder first of all, who gets to determine what “hate” is? They are not called “Crimes which target mariginalized classes” laws, they are defined as “hate crime” laws. So somebody else’s definition of what constitutes hate may be wider or different than yours. If those defining it more widely or differently are…

Yeah, also the same with black and white people.

Kind of spoils a joke if you state “joke” after it. But this is Jezebel, so you don’t want to trigger!

These people are probably celebrating the fact that they know each other well enough that they can joke and play with social issues such as their race because their relationships have moved so far beyond that! You don’t know them but you want them to STOP IT NOW cause you have not moved beyond these issues, so mired…

And the great thing is Scotland has this without having the whole third wave non sense, safe spaces, whiteness studies, gender politics and language police. Just people judging people as people!

I don’t like UKIP at all. But thinking they are neo-Nazis only happens when you read strawmen arguments on populist web sites about those who disagree with you.

My reply seems to have disappeared. Anyway, was saying that in the London telephone directory web site there are listed 156. In my home town of Aberdeen, there are 10 out of a city of 200 000 people in the city (don’t know what % are listed). On Facebook I searched “James Raper” and there were 28 (and 8 Jimmy or…

Interesting stats

Yeah. Where I come from the standard way people greet each other is with a kiss on the cheek, sometimes two, but in this circumstance it sounded like sexual assault to a certain extent.

Must be fake, who would downplay the severity of what happened on this day in that hotel lobby. These blue-collared rock stars may have come from rough neighborhoods in depressed towns and reached international music stardom but that doesn’t mean they can waltz into an interview with any middle class hipster…

I am glad this woman journalist made the article about her instead of about the band she was covering, clever revenge move. I want to read more of her coverage of bands, she probably gently fuses the art of music journalism with a feminist-issue-aware blog, which is not easy to do but sounds fantastic if she achieves…

Hi Kirk, this is a really interesting dissection of gender politics in video games. This reminds me of something that that young scholar by the name of Anita Sarkeesian would be interested in. She got off to a flying start on Youtube a few years back but has been really struggling with her kick-starter campaign on…

See my reply to that.

Interesting and very scientific method of determining how common a name is there. I did a search on directory inquiries (192.com, which is sort of like a British phone book) of my home city, Aberdeen, in Scotland which has a population of 220 000 and there were 10 people listed as living there with the surname Raper.…

I’d like such a writing too with the slight caveats. I’d want it written in a gender studies department of a good college and I would want it to show me how the patriarchy is to blame and how reality TV demeans women. Then I would read it!

I don’t care if the original post may have been intended as a joke or not, not sure, in any case I am offended on her behalf and angry.

I was trying to reconcile my hatred for the patriarchy I see all around me with the fact that I like to stick up for other cultures and stuff... and it’s difficult because you get some stories coming from other cultures that make it seem like women have it much worse than us and I don’t know what to do with this…

Yeah, although we have absolutely nothing to go on at this stage other than a Jezebel article that says there are rumors of an accusation of something, I think your idea that there was rape is probably a fair and accurate conclusion to draw at this stage.
