No, because you’re just not (I presume) a misogynist and would probably intervene whether your friends were against it or not. Peer disapproval is only important where the intervener isn’t that personally outraged by violence against women. If they know their friends are they’ll intervene despite their own

I think “less serious mysogninsts” is a really weird way of describing possible grope-stoppers. I am male and I would like to think that I could be deemed a little better than “less serious mysoginst.” Can I ever hope to be deemed a “minimal mysoginist”?

Or maybe not reported because well this:

It’s definitely something that has existed in the past. I had one when I was a little kid, and I thought it was the BEST THING EVER. (Note: I was a little kid in 1976. EVERYTHING had a flag on it.)

Guaranteed that many of the people upset about this have ranted about PC Culture, everyone being too sensitive, and the pussification of America (re safe spaces most likely) sometime very recently.

Trump will be so good for flags, you won’t believe it.

Also note the difference in responses:

I want to believe this so much.

And then Bridget Jones showed up...

Raise your hand if you feel personally attacked and victimized by Nigel Farage’s shoes.

Someone on the main page is criticizing her for attending and I'm thinking you'd be crazy not to go just for this reason. So much fun to be had! And you get the inside dirt. And there must be alcohol. When I was working I got invites to political parties for people I reeeeeally didn't agree with. I always went. You

I’m sorry your friend wasn’t more understanding. How you feel is more common than you realize and it doesn’t mean you don’t love your children or are a bad parent. You are just human and your have valid feelings which you are entitled to. I love my kids, but...

I feel you. Motherhood is exhausting, and you’re not alone. /Internet hugs

I remember being afraid that my kid would be taken away if I was open about my struggles and I was in a supportive healthcare situation with frequent screening, home visits and inexpensive care. It still took me 6 months.

It’s hard. Really fucking hard. I had PPD with my oldest and there’s so much shame associated. Now I have two kids and its fucking draining and exhausting. All give, all the time. And confessing that you’re not enjoying it or that you desperately need help is often met with extreme judgement or trite comments like

As a person who suffered from postpartum depression stories like this always bring up a lot of feelings. Of course I know there's a chance this wasn't it but the reaction to these stories always reminds me of the fear I had to speak up about my illness.

Can you really blame the “nuke em” crowd, though? The US government and the mass media have sold war as a bloodless video game to the American people since the Reagan days, a lesson learned from losing the Vietnam war at the home front.

This is because you’re an awful person.

Yep.

You could be forgiven. They have similar stances on weapons proliferation and the place of religion in the public sphere.
