I’d like to address all the people who shrug their shoulders about this because they don’t think this concerns them somehow. If only this smart and capable person and people like her didn’t have to spend their time and energy trying to bring justice to the victims of these predatory shitbags we’d be living in a Utopia…

This abject failure would be hilarious if not tethered to human tragedy, so hopefully this fail gif can suffice.

Are you a woman? You MUST be at least somewhat aware to the amount of presumption that is equated to you believing that all experiences must be filtered and validated through your obviously limited perspective. If anything, I would place money on things being worse than what I perceive as a man because a lot of men…

I think you are conflating correcting a power imbalance with a handout. Imagine if there were two people living in a house and, at meal time, they could eat only as much food as they could hold in both their hands. Now there are natural physical differences such as upper body strength and hand size, but we won’t go…

They don’t care, but they are committed to the lie that they do as far as it suits their purposes. I can’t fault women who are wary of all men, because, from my experience, for every one that professes to do right, there are about 5 or so that will “fake it to make it” and 4 that are out right hostile.

What about the words “violate” and “abuse” or the term “sexual assault?” even though it’s not a parallel to “n-word,” I can speak at length about the subject of sexual assault without using the word “rape.”

Didn’t he shut down discussion about the term?

Allow me to try my hand, then...

How do the white students understand the impact of the word, then? It doesn’t mean anything close to what it means for black folks no matter how much you say it.

Eh...I Like my chances

I apologise if my answer was insufficient. In my opinion, there is no benefit from a white person using the word. The cost/benefit analysis is moot because saying the word automatically places the discussion in bad faith. There are sufficient avenues for white people to discuss said epithet without saying them to…

I believe you have me mistaken. My argument is also that concepts can be taught without having to directly experience them. I apologise if I was not clear enough.

I know, the irony of a class on hate speech being a vehicle for it helps the crow go down a little easier, though. I was wrong about the law.

Yes, I am now aware that it is, in fact, NOT protected. Further down, past the half dozen or so other posts also saying as much, are my earlier two admissions of my mistake, but, internet points for you!

I KNOW you’re right, but it was taught to me that you “don’t get points” for doing what is expected, and that’s hard to shake, even thought I want to foster good habits. I am willing to take that as my own failing, though, and I’ll try to work on it.

If this kind of thing is already in the public sphere, the government has already moved on to something better, or, failing that, perfected it to a terrifying degree. i.e anything that has to do with satellites like GPS or SATCOM

*snorts* They don’t give a single sliver of a fuck about “fighting tyranny.” So many transgressions have happened in the last few administrations that should have elicited SOME sort of response from the “well-maintained militia,” but, what’s that I hear? You won’t say shit as long as you can keep your guns?

The belief that virtue is the demesne of white folk is a pillar of white supremacy. (or rather the long pole in the tent) I know that’s not what you said, but I do find the belief of the special nature of white folks to be disturbingly pervasive, whether defending it, or being surprised at how false it rings. There…
