I've never seen it but I might have to start.
Sort of like a (hopefully less annoying) female version of Ross Gellar on the early seasons of Friends?
My larger point was that the guys who threw tantrums when people criticized the shirt on Twitter are hypocrites because women not only are routinely criticized for their clothes, they're sometimes subjected to much worse than criticism.
Everybody knows that manfeels outweigh fact checking and journalism.
I think you answered your own question there.
I don't view criticism of sexism as equal to assault
Your comment reminds me of this song that I love. Favorite line "my body weakens you, not me."
He didn't do it single handedly you know. http://sci.esa.int/rosetta/43058-…
I don't want anything. It just popped into my head so I typed it. I tend to notice double standards. But you seem to be inordinately upset by my comment so I can say made it to personally annoy you if that's what you want.
Nah. Women get criticized for their clothing all the time with nary a peep from the dudebro set. They only got bent out of shape (I saw some saying it was indicative of the collapse of western civilization) when it happened to a man for a change.
Equally appalling? People saying "that shirt is offensive and ill advised considering the bad reputation the STEM fields have for being hostile to women" is nowhere near equivalent to assaulting someone for thinking their clothes are too revealing.
Yes. Your victim blaming and deflection and JAQing off that I've seen a thousand times before is simply too advanced for my ladybrainz to comprehend. You just keep telling yourself that.
Now you've moved on to criticizing Deadspin. When you're finished with that are you finally going to get around to actually criticizing the one who was behaving creepily?
I wonder if all the dudebros enraged at how mean feminists are for mildly criticizing Matt Taylor's sexist shirt will be coming around here to defend Khan's right to dress however she wants without being assaulted by a misogynist douchebag.
I find it odd that despite the fact that he pulled the same shit with multiple other women, you're choosing to fixate on her behavior instead of his.
Both men and women can become physically aroused while being raped. I'm not sure if there are stats out there for men, but in women it happens about a quarter of the time. Some people's genitals will just do that involuntarily. Arousal does not equal consent.
People aren't always thinking clearly when confronted with a predator. Sometimes people are just sort of shocked and freeze up. That's why "yes means yes" is so important and such a better catch phrase than "no means no." We need to stop conflating not fighting back with consent.
Just as rapists target the drunk partiers, they also probably target people with mental health and/or substance abuse issues. These are two groups that are less likely to be believed.
My point is that judges are perfectly capable of upholding rape culture. Just because the judge believes she made a false accusation, doesn't mean she did. That judge could very well be a sexist, racist Islamophobe.
