In reply to the discussion: i really cannot get my head around, a man. a man on du,... telling me he wanted me raped. [View all]DonCoquixote
(13,750 posts)considering that those words alone are enough to get people fired, not to mention arrested, the fact this is on DU is a real shame.
To all the folks who go "eh", there is a big disagreement with believing something opposite to what someone believes, and hating them. There is even a big gulf between HATING someone, and acting on that hate. And below that foul level, there is someone who would take a political disagreement and use that as an excuse for bad rape porn. These are things no one should have escaped the tenth grade without learning.
Really, how does telling a woman you want to (insert porn garbage) advance democracy? Even the GOP knows they cannot admit they want to (blank) someone's (blank), they just have to approve whenever someone does it. If you think rape porn is political discourse, then kindly get thyself to Free Republic.
And Mods...I know you are tired of hearing how much the jury system sucks, especially as you dropped it because a bunch of liars assumed the only reason they got called on their crap was because of money. However, at the risk of being a White Knight (tm), you have seen the way folks like Seabeyond have been harassed on here. You have seen the same faces come on, cheering whenever someone scores a point, and then they come and threaten to "straighten out" whoever disagrees. This has got to stop, because the day rape humor becomes a way to shut women up, we will allow ourselves to be the people we hate and fear.
And by the way, showing solidarity with people that can be insulted because they are not White males is not being a white knight. Maybe the MRAs should see who THEY have solidarity with, and then at least when they go GOP, we can know they wear the enemy's uniform.
