Reply #212: the issue is more about the sig line [View All]

but also I am not sure if hatred makes everyone more safe.

Maybe it's just hyperbole. After hearing yet another horrific story from another victim, it seems in that moment of justifiable rage as though all men are guilty, at least to some degree, even if only of sitting silently while some of their crude 'brothers' ran their mouths. But it still sounded like hatred of all men to me. I think I battle violence, insofar as I can on a message board, by battling hatred.

Your sigline though seems to be the heart of the double standard. I certainly cannot say 'women in this culture are superficial and greedy' and expect to get away with it with a similar disclaimer. 'Well I wasn't talking about all women, look at the context.'

Then, of course, we have to listen to the nonsense about how white men, even the ones working as part-time janitors, rule the world. Therefore, it's okay to slander them, because nothing can knock them off the gravy train.
