I’m inclined to agree. But, by making her point so bluntly and tactlessly, she gave the male cop plausible deniability/benefit of the doubt. Better to take the high road and let the mouth-breathers embarrass themselves.

“... people are poor speakers. They just are. About everything. Especially when put on the spot.”

There are no “good guys” in this story. And yet the guy seems like the bigger douche.

Depends on how you define meathead. MLB definitely has a lot more white farmboys, so there’s a fair amount of uneducated blowhards like Curt Schilling.

Lol. Almost snorted Coke Zero out my nose.

I think the long hairdos are even worse. “Gee... you know what would really fire up my game day confidence? Long locks of billowy hair for my bloodthirsty opponents to grab onto!”

For the record, I am listening to you and I am interested in your POV, or else I wouldn’t have chimed in in the first place. I don’t feel like I’m being understood, but that’s ok... not every conversation has to end with both people totally agreeing on everything.

I’m not telling women which conversations they can and cannot have. Nor have I argued that men who have behaved badly should not be held accountable (or take responsibility) for their actions. I’m merely expressing my point of view and trying to intellectually connect with people about important issues that we may…

No, it’s not women’s job to protect men’s feelings. But isn’t the goal to make progress toward the causes of feminism and persuade men rather than merely venting and excoriating decent men who participate in the conversation in a way that’s not 100% in line with the orthodox script? If it’s a two-way “conversation”…

Ok. I agree that many men—myself included—need to have more empathy for women and trust their experience and point of view, etc. I guess my only grievance is that sometimes the loudest voices on the feminist side are the militant ones (like Wild Cougar above) who mock and dismiss any attempt by men to “do better” and…

How would you suggest that men “give up power?” Serious question.

Same!!!

You looked that up. Admit it!

I’m sure he’ll take it!

Lol, I spent my fair share of Saturday mornings obsessing over AoE too. That said, I was never all that good at battling people online. I was more fond of developing my perfect utopia empire, replete with island kingdoms, massive navies, and enormous sentry walls. When I played online, the best I could do was to…

Here comes the choir.

I used to play AoE with my dad too! Such a great game.

Exaggerate much?

This is a really dumb take. He’s not negligent because some malicious hacker broke into his Dropbox. You seem intent on blaming someone, but that someone is the hacker, and all the a-holes who shared the pics.
