Clubbing baby seals do you feels

My .22 is coming for you

Monster from above

Staring with hatred, no love

Experimenting how to kill

Is just another cheap thrill

For a hardened seven year old

No chance no love

Just a giant goose from above

Coming to fuck yanks for fun

You better bow down son

The bush man is coming to town

Its time for Maga to lose its crown

"The Bureau will not provide social accommodations, including to inmates diagnosed with GD, and the inmate will not receive social accommodations. If the inmate currently has social accommodations, the Bureau shall no longer provide the social accommodations"

So all bets are off and it is time to ignore the Prison Rape Elimination Act.

Make a real plan to divest yourselves of all US tech. This is the only way forward.

So glad I got the fuck out of there. I was almost banned for saying they should take out Desantis like the dirty diaper he is.

This was way back during Trump's first presidency. I appealed explaining that in the same series of comments way worse was said. The mod accused me of harassment for sending a single appeal. It left such a bad taste in my mouth I never really took the site seriously after that and moved on completely several months later.

It was a good thing though. Everything I had liked about Reddit had long been perverted, I just hadn't realized it.

Thank you for your kind words. My daughters were both denied justice like so many women. This is pretty normal as only a small fraction of rapes are ever successfully prosecuted. I was always hyper-vigilant with them, but you can't always be there to protect everyone every moment.

It is not just my daughters though. My wife, my mother, and every women I have had the privilege to talk to about this topic has been sexually assaulted. Often time multiple times throughout their life.

I have worked in CPS and some of the things I have experienced would shake normal people to their core and send them running away. I have been a care coordinator for elders and the stories they tell are equally hair raising. I have worked hand in hand with women shelters and I have seen abuse in the worst ways imaginable.

I totally agree in your situation that you can prefer humanism over feminism without being a chud. Not so much for people who have never bothered to read about either of them.

I will once again point out that they are not the same. Humanism talks in generalities about issues. Feminism explains how and why which is very different than humanism. Humanism does not encompass feminism rather they are distinctly different. Until you recognize this I think you will continue to flounder when discussing your preferences in regards to these two topics.

Feminism has a lot of good criticism out there, but equally humanism does as well. Both have been characterized of relying on western-centric values and being used as a tool instead of a solution to existing power dynamics.

I understand you believe you have tried to engage in good faith. Do you really believe that group of abused women is representative of feminist scholars? I suppose this may be splitting hairs to some people, but not to people who understand these as complex topics that can never be represented by single or even groups of people.

I am probably going out on a limb that someone will be happy to cut, but the majority of people who claim to be feminists really have no foundation in understanding feminism. It is more about identity than a genuine belief/knowledge of the values of modern feminism. This may seem like a no true Scotsman fallacy, but the devil is always in the details.

America First - White supremacy garbage slogan adopted by the KKK back in 1920.

America is for Americans - Identical Nazi slogan "Germany is for Germans"

One homeland, one people, one heritage - A variation of a Nazi slogan "Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Führer" which is listed as a central Nazi phrase at the Holocaust Museum.

We will have our home again - ICE recruitment effort. Used by far right ethno-nationalist Völkisch movement.

Numerous speeches referring to vermin, poisoning blood of our country, etc which are all Nazi/White nationalist dog whistles.

I will tip for good service at a restaurant. I really try to do cash because it is common for management to steal all or a portion of the tips.

I just had this discussion with my wife yesterday when I got a Subway sub for her. When I went to pay it asked for a percentage based tip. Keep in mind this sub was $16 where I live.

I hate that corporations are underpaying their workers and trying to guilt you into giving them a tip which they then promptly steal.

Can't even put it on the right direction, sheesh.

Not so much trolls, just the majority of users. Most tech related forums are like this. Such is life.

Preferring humanist over feminist is kind of nonsensical. Feminism is a focused on oppression theory and is the evolution of humanism in modern times that was initially created to tackle gender inequality and voting rights.

It is like saying I prefer astronomer over astrophysicist. It doesn't really make sense because they are different things from different times.

I never said it was anti-feminist to say you are against torture leading to murder (this of course did not actually happen in regards to Genghis and castration). In fact, feminism did not exist during the time of Ghenghis Khan nor did humanism.

Whenever examining history from a modern lense we should recognize the way we think and our motivations are significantly different from previous generations let alone several hundred years.

I said you were not a feminist. I am also not a feminist even though I have spent a lot of time at Uni and later on in my personal life studying it. I am what you would call an ally. If I am wrong about you, my apologies.

I am not an authority and yes I definitely filled in the blank. I am very good at guessing motivations, and as I said you showed some red flags right away with you story trying to conflate man-haters with feminism. This is such a common trope it shows your hand so to speak. If this was not your intention I understand.

I am sorry, but I did not mean to imply you said we should forgive abusers. I think a humanist perspective that looks towards rehabilitation and change rather than punishment is a great ideal. One that we are sorely lacking in modern times.

If you are not sure why a comic of a white male "man-splaining" something nonsensical to two women and then in the next panel the women having a conflict over race is offensive then I am not sure we view things as the same way.

As I pointed out it is a gross misrepresentation of modern feminism. Without humanism there wouldn't have been feminism and without feminism we would not have gotten minority studies that revealed through research institutionalized racism.

This is a direct threat to the ruling class hence the constant lies and propaganda pushback feminism has received. So you if you have an issue with feminism please bring receipts because I am a passionate human being who has studied it for years and I have daughters and grandkids.

My daughters experienced sexual assault and I got to deal with the police and see how the modern system works. The pushback from the Metoo movement is intense with prosecutors, police officers, and judges using their discretion to perpetuate a system of blatant sexism. My cynical side says they are either rapists themselves or enablers.

You are going to get what you want to get. If you don't feel welcomed to participate that is your decision. I am not a mod and I am not here to welcome anyone on a post that would attract the worst kind of people. I said my two cents and I often find myself getting involved when I should probably just walk away. It is a personal failing of mine.
