a thread concerned about the rapist, but victim.... meh, ya it was wrong BUT. and it is a fuggin' big butt, at her expense.

defense of the cutsey little tshirt for men to giggle.... at the expense of the victim.

it is a huge ass..... turn off.

i asked a simple question, in a thread that made a clear boundary to racist and homophobic slurs. i found it telling. and had no energy to "discuss", ....

she leaving it alone in the hypocrisy, of who we are.

but I'm never called for those juries. I expect that people who like to use that sort of language have most of us on their jury blacklists.
Honestly, I rarely alert on any of that stuff anymore. It's pointless. . . . I've tried to write a number of sentences explaining why that is, but I can't think of one that won't be hidden. That itself is reflective of the problem.

If being the operative word. A lot of people see no problem with the status quo, and a few even think women have too much.

for that reminder. I can't fathom how the disconnect works. How do you go from it is okay to use slurs against women, knowing the usage minimizes women. Then not comprehend how those slurs effect police and the judicial system bend over backwards to minimize sexual crimes against women?

We had a thread with close to 100 recs insulting as a liar the prosecutor of an accused rapist, on the lam for four years. People insist that accused rapist has every right to evade justice, while to argue for principles of equality before the law or justice for rape victims makes one a "bootlicker." 100 recs for the accused rapist and against the prosecutor who dares to seek justice for his victims. That shows the extent of their regard for rape victims. They not only aren't concerned that the judicial system minimizes crimes against women, they become furious when a prosecutor seeks to hold accountable a man they think should be above the law, least of all for something as inconsequential as sexual assault against mere women.

Your mistake is in assuming any of what you express above matters at all. We have been shown time and time again that it does not.

i just think it is ironic as all fuck.

the man.... hiding from prosecution, and the people that back him, cause he outed govt crime (supposedly, but that is a whole other argument).

He publishes something people like, so then he gets a free pass forever? It's no different from football fans assuming the women who accuse players of rape are lying. One group admires a man who has a website, another football. In both cases the men are too important to be guilty and women are liars and too insignificant to matter. Both groups contribute to ensuring that rapists aren't prosecuted and their victims vilified. Both elevate a few, chosen men above the law and diminish their women victims to less than nothing. One group is no better than the other, their actions and values identical.

the people cheering him, and elevating him above the law is because he went after those elevated above the law. as they do precisely the same with him.

i agree with you.

a gang rapist at that. The boy is 16 and got probation for participating in a gang rape. A female poster was outraged at the sentence, and the member called her a "Republican" for wanting to spend $50 K a year to lock someone up "for no reason."

of rapes of our girls, and jokes about rape, so early in the morning.

because referring to rape as "no reason" is just another difference of opinion.

So we are back to the OP's question. When people don't see rape as serious enough to warrant devoting tax payers funds to punishing, language that reinforces the status quo regarding women and rape is far from problematic.

Thankfully. http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=6380556

has been posted and we will likely see another 100 recs for that accused rapist evading justice.

can remember them all. and this is spending almost no time on du.

biden is giving out 41 million to process the shelved rape kits across the nation, and all that says....

and all we have been talking about the last five years

or blaming an 11 yr old for her rape

or having a conversation on fb why i will not go into hobby lobby to find something i want for my house.....

ya know.

because that is so much less important than what menz care about.

to do it.

what can a board do?

it is the way a lot of men are being conditioned to think today, and our boys. and our women and girls, though i see the light on that front.

but.... the conditioning has well been played.

It's a case of 'free speech for me, but not for you'
