Because they get provisional male privilege. As long as they don't step out of line.

Meanwhile on that Kotaku in action subreddit linked, there’s a comment about how Sarkeesian and Wu should die because they aren’t contributing anything to society. He doesn’t have the means to do it himself, but he’ll smile if someone else kills them.

Or if they don't like Feminist Frequency videos, they could have just not watched them. Or they could just choose to ignore Zoe Quinn's sex life because it's not their business. GG is built on them not approving on things women are saying. Why didn't they just use their manly rationalogic powers to ignore them?

I think it's only a matter of time before men decide that retail and administrative jobs are going to have to be good enough for them. Then we'll start hearing about how women are too weak to stand on our feet all day and men are naturally faster typists and men are more suited to customer service because they're more…

Ignoring misogyny won't do anything to end racism.

Some of the GG women are real people. But some of them are sock puppets. I saw a thread, I think from 8 chan once. They were advising each other on how to convince people they were women or POC.

It’s so cute how gaters complain that Anita Sarkeesian and Brianna Wu are “professional victims.” Even if they were calculated in using the online harassment against them to make them more famous - and I’m being extremely generous even granting that - they wouldn’t have been able to do so if they hadn’t received a ton…

Not true. Liberal feminist are all witches who can summon Abortion Demons to chase nice Christian girls in trouble and make them abort.

I fucking hope so.

That's still trusting them to police themselves (no pun intended) though. Institutions don't reform themselves all the time or even most of the time. Not Wall Street. Not the Catholic church. Not the police. Protests are absolutely essential. You can't trust departments to police themselves. You can't even trust…

Yes, some citizens are assholes and some aren't. But why should assholes be treated differently based on skin color? They shouldn't. But hey, if you want to sound like Bill Cosby saying "pull your pants up" to win the approval of racist people, you do you.

When the fuck did I say that people should shoot cops? All I said was that it’s rational for a member of any marginalized class to distrust and dislike.

It just goes to show that these kids and the kids at the Texas pool were not really very threatening at all. If the situation was really volatile and dangerous these dudes would be hiding or running away. Not, as you deputizing themselves. And the cops wouldn’t have let them deputize themselves either because if there…

When police brutality happens to white people it’s because they are part of a different marginalized class. Such as homeless or mentally ill. If you think an upper middle class white guy in a suit driving a luxury car ever gets pulled over and roughed up for driving while white, if you think middle class white women…

Do you think black parents don’t already teach their children to avoid getting brutalized by the police? Do you think black people aren’t already adjusting their behavior and walking on eggshells around the police. Please. You’re self aware enough to realize that you’re victim blaming. But you still went right ahead…

How adorable that you think our lady brains are confused by half assed false equivalency fallacies.

It’s offensive to compare not trusting the police with racism. They are not the same. Police officers are not an oppressed class. In fact, the job of law enforcement is to uphold the existing power structure. They hold power and they use that power, as an institution, to keep the country racist and classist. It is…

It’s sad that you thought that was a gotcha.

They do. When women say we have to be a little weary around men (the Schrodinger’s rapist concept) because we fear sexual assault, there’s plenty of men who just willfully misinterpret what we’re saying as “all men are rapist.” But when rape apologists call it a part of natural male sexuality, those same guys either…

Plus, as the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, the bar for what constitutes a prestigious luxury item can only be set higher and higher.
