That one about Sarah Sanders getting asked to leave a restaurant was stupid. I’m not sure I noticed any of your others. I’ll check when I get some time.
Liar.
For those who cannot be bothered to follow the link, from my OP in that thread:
Which bit of ‘disappointed’ did you miss?
Oh, and from the same OP:
Not just a lie, but a stupid one.
Quartz I notice you’ve been tap dancing and not responding to the substance of the OP. What is your fixation with posting stories about women misbehaving? Is Czarcasm right?
That’s cute. The British wouldn’t know what “fair play” is if it crawled up their asses sideways.
Erm…you really want to kick off that sort of sweeping nonsense?
I have answered you. I have no such fixation. In the past 3 months I’ve started - at first glance - at least 3 threads criticising men. How come you’re not calling me out for that?
And I don’t read Czarcasm’s posts.
Yes, you occasionally criticize men. In your link dump, there was a mix of criticizing men, criticizing women, and occasionally some feel good story about Trump getting visas for Afghan girls. You do start a lot of threads that deal with rape, false allegations, or in the case of the most recent one, why wasn’t this woman charged with rape!!11!!
The proportion of rape vs non rape threads you start is unsettling, and you’ve sidestepped the underlying question posed by the OP.
Why?
ETA: at first glance, you count 3 threads criticizing men. How many criticizing women?
Perhaps not. But when you have Quartz, bragging about knowing the British way of “fair play”, in one second, and then spewing racist diatribe about South Africa the next, it’s probably relevant. At least considering the history of the British towards Africa.
Then again, it’s also a hijack, so I’ll save it for next time.
As far as “incel” being an insult, an incel isn’t simply a male virgin. An incel is something else entirely. It’s a subculture of men who blame women and/or feminism for their lack of success in the romantic department, and they have a tendency towards misogyny, racism, and entitlement.
Elliot Rodgers was a self-proclaimed incel.
It’s not something one should be proud of. Quite the opposite.
- Just because Quartz is a prick doesn’t excuse “The British wouldn’t know what “fair play” is if it crawled up their asses sideways.” I don’t make sweeping statements about Americans because of Bricker or HurricaneDitka.
- Obviously Britain’s got a massive problem with it’s colonial past and more recent history, but show me a western nation that doesn’t. Indigenous peoples, anyone?
Honestly, not cool.
I just looked, and there’s about ten in the last three months that raised questions about his views on gender.
A toast then, to our friends across the pond. Lift a pint, spread good cheer!
Contrary to all expectations, yeah they tend to.
Almost makes me reconsider my argument that one cannot simultaneously be a radical and a conservative.
ALMOST.
Tuesday night, so best I can do is a raise a can of Irn Bru back at ya.
No. You perceive every mention of the inequality of women as a threat to male dominance. You’ve never, ever posted in support of women that I’ve seen. Show me. Even giving you the benefit of the doubt, there’s no question how you appear.
If your recent post about a coach raping young male players were about young girls, would you have posted it? Don’t lie.
Fair enough.
It sometimes appears that, in some peoples’ worldview, there MUST BE at least two tiers; this is a fundamental law of nature, and to advocate that one group be released from the lower tier is to insist that one’s favored group be relegated to it.
Anyone for some Quartz OP title bingo? Who can channel a Quartz OP title that hits the most of his bugbears?
“Waitress files false rape charge against obscure British TV personality: I didn’t tip her because the serviettes were too wrinkly”
True, but he’s not being judged solely on the fact that he’s a 40 + virgin. I would agree it’s a cheap shot on its own, but combined with the issues the OP has laid out, it’s relevant to bring it up. No pun intended.
Well now you’ve brought nationality into it, I feel compelled to give in to tribalism and defend Quartz.
Women being raped and sexually assaulted is a sadly common occurrence and laws regarding it are well established, threads about a woman being raped are unlikely to provoke any interesting discussion.
As a man being raped by a woman is a fairly rarely reported event and often not considered possible legally, it allows for more debate.
Also, whatever culture you’re part of has made poor choices and performed immoral actions, so pfffffft!
