No, it’s not. It’s not how guys talk to each other. It’s how insecure MMA-loving flat-billed hat wearing dudebros talk to each other. Most of us have read a book or talked with someone different from us or read two books and come to our conclusion that that sort of shit just isn’t funny.
It’s also stupid to act like nobody gets hurt by it, or that it’s still OK after the community being slurred finally told you to cut the shit. The kind of male bonding you’re talking about doesn’t require the use of slurs that dehumanize gay people.
Just saying “That’s how guys talk” does not mean that it isn’t hurtful, cruel and shitty. It also does not make it an absolute truth in all times and in all spaces.
The insult as batter is really crappy way for friends to interact. It almost always creates a toxic dynamic in which members of the group get hurt but…
Well done, staff of Dominos. Just goes to show ya, there are actually a lot of decent people in the world, even if it might seem otherwise sometimes.
Yeah, I’m not really thrilled with the reinforcement of the idea of women’s bodies as an “embodiment of nature” more than men’s bodies. The woman-as-nurturing-earth-mother-figure is not necessarily feminist. When it’s used to suggest that women are fundamentally different from men—more nurturing, more connected to…
“LOOK AT THOSE SLUTS! NAKED IN PUBLIC BUT THEY WANT US TO RESPECT THEM? FEMINISM IS A LIE!”
Yeah, I have a hard time seeing it as anything else too. It’s amazing how naked women can be used as a symbol for nearly anything. Thing is, no matter what the subject, it’s still objectification. This thing is especially dubious since it’s a white dude yelling “for our daughters!” LOL, wut?
Oh cool, white dude asking 100 women to pose nude for difficult-to-decipher performance peice about “the sacred feminine” for a bunch of people who are already too dense to give a shit about women. Thank you, smart arty man, for figuring out how to communicate for us! We should’ve just been holding up mirrors and…
Maybe it’s just me, but somehow I get the sense that Trump fans aren’t going to recognize this as art/protest and simply will go “HURR DURR! LOOKIT THEM NAKED BROADS!!!”
So ... many ... testicles
Wuilmer Becerra, who was basically a throw in in that trade as a 17 year old project, slashed .290/.342/.423 in Low-A last year and is currently slashing .415/.457/.479 in High-A so far.
They only got RA Dickey (and two really shitty catchers who are no longer in the majors). They also gave up a 3rd player, Wuilmer Becerra, who is looking to be a stud. When it’s all said and done, it’s one of the worst trades in sports history.
this was sort of going to be my comment. it’s already more of a crime to assault/kill a police officer than a civilian...so like...why this bill?
There have been multiple instances of people firing on firefighters after calling 911 essentially ambushing them. Why? Who knows but it’s pretty horrific for guys who ACTUALLY protect and serve.
Doesn’t that lower the penalty for a crime against an officer, which is already pretty steep? Or is this to add charges when the defendant didn’t know it was an officer?
Fun Wikipedia tidbit about “Stand By Your Man”:
Should they also support how she basically told Bill’s rape victim to shut the fuck up about it and tell nobody? Should they support how she got a child rapist off with only one year in prison on a technicality and then laughed about it later, saying she knew he was guilty? Yeah, Hillary is great for women as long as…
