LadyPact -> RE: Misogyny is classified as a hate crime in England (7/13/2016 11:53:39 AM)

I swear the minute I get back from this upcoming trip, thing one on the agenda is getting the new computer set up. This one is eating more posts than I'm managing to get up.

Well not being Gay I wouldn't know. But being at a bar is different than taking your kids out for a stroll to the icecream parlor. I think they should not be offended. It is a compliment. Perhaps they don't like they way it is delivered but would they rather a guy run at them and say "You are good looking" ? These days they would probably call the fucking police thinking they were about to get raped.
Speaking as a straight chick, I can promise you that they let us het folks in there, too. They don't look me over for the gay gene when I'm going through the door. The beer tastes the same, too.
As for the rest of that, I think you and I have two different perspectives on two different fronts. One being that you seem to think the cat calling thing *doesn't* happen at the ice cream parlor or taking your kids (or grandkids, yes, I'm serious) to the park. Two, I'm not likely to take it as a compliment. If a friend tells me I look pretty today, that's a compliment. Not some random stranger.

I see it as something that could be expanded. They always do. A whistle from a construction worker across the street is a compliment but he is not going to rape anyone, he has bricks to lay or whatever, and probably an olady at home.
Term, I'm not going to get into the 'all men are potential rapists' thing. There are so many angles wrong with it that I don't know where to begin. It's not a gender thing. Plenty of women sexually assault people, too, so I'm probably not the person to debate it with. We'd be stupid to ignore the fact that some people assault other people, but that's the world we live in.
At the same time, it's probably not a good idea to think that all of the asshats who will sexually assault other people are single, unemployed, good for nothings, who have a scarlet letter on their forehead so we can tell the difference between them and decent people. Fair enough?
quote:
But I see that this is an attempt to use your writings against you. Everything everyone posts online or emails is copied by the NSA, except Hillary Clinton of course. Now if you get in a fight with your olady and she goes ballistic and calls the law for nothing, those writings about male superiority can bite you in the ass. And Women, remember something - WE GAVE YOU THOSE RIGHTS. So by saying that, the NSA can pull up this post and even if she hit me first and I simply restrained her and called the law, that could be charged as a hate crime.
Ya know, you're trying to make it sound like every altercation where a guy gets arrested is just because they tried to "restrain" someone. You do realize that's not the majority, right? No matter how many posters rant and rave about how the male is always the person going to jail, even though he supposedly didn't do anything, isn't how it goes, no matter how many threads get started about it.
quote:
As such, they have hurt Women's rights because there are Men who will just bury them in the backyard. You make the laws too tough on someone they stop g3tting obeyed, and half the murders in this country are unsolved. What would you do ? Put up with all this, get a lawyer, not bondable, can't carry a gun, all because she got pissed off ? Bullshit, get a shovel. See where that shit got you ?
My position on this has been exceptionally clear. If not, I could elaborate.
quote:
Actually I have never been able to whistle. Can't sing all that great either. I know this hillbilly tune called "The Ride" and in it are the words "Mister can you make folk cry when you play and sing" and I chuckle every time I hear that because I can say yes, but not the way you think...
That's kind of a shame. When I was writing this post earlier, I had this neat, little idea.
I was going to suggest to you that, if you could whistle, you go ahead and cat call ten men you don't know as they are walking down the street. According to you, it's a compliment, right? Maybe try it at the local swimming pool with a few guys dressed in trunks. If it's really not an issue, let me know how those ten guys react.
quote:
Anyway, this shit should not be an issue. I b3elieve Men should run the world but not these overgrowed boys we got now. Real Men like 100 years ago who had foresight and wisdom. these assholes today coule not run a convenience store. They lack the maturity and wisdom to run a country and that is why we are all fucked up.
Not a great idea. Do you really think those "real men" from a hundred years ago were doing a great job? The 'foresight and wisdom' that led to people being terrorized, beaten, and killed? You might want to think the whole thing through.
quote:
And what Greta and the other ultraliberals do not get is that the more a government protects a certain class, the more of a target they become. Affirmative action accomplished what ? Special interest groups accomplished what ? Even Al Sharpton, all he can do is plan a riot and get more of his people killed. No fucking sense, no fucking reason.
Just integration of schools, no more crosses burning in people's front yards, half the people on this site not knowing what "rolling" somebody means and why certain people were targeted for that activity.
quote:
Every group looking for rights is not looking for equal rights, they are looking for special rights. If I was Black and found out I was hired because of affirmative action I would be ashamed of myself and probably quit. I got every job I ever had on merit, and every raise, I have never been in a union.
Keep every home you've ever had based on merit or could your landlord bounce you out because he didn't approve of who you were sleeping with? When the parents of the kids in a certain neighborhood were protesting because that 'different' kid was allowed to attend public school, did you see that as "special" rights, too?
quote:
And Women do not seem to realize, maybe because they have not experienced it, that there is a glass ceiling for Men as well. If you ain't in that ole boy network you are not getting to top floor. They bitch about it and expect something to be done, what ? Force companies to vote Women into the board of directors ? What kind of law that would pass Constitutional muster you think you could write to make that happen ?
Do you really think we need laws to make sure white men are sitting on the board of Fortune 500 companies?
The good ol' boys club is alive and well in certain areas. We have no disagreement there.
quote:
Far as I am concerned, do what you want in Singapore. If I ever go there I will obey their laws. But don't try to bring that shit here.
T^T
Pretty sure that's for Greta. On that note, I hope you have a good day.
