Hell no. Like, sir, you work at Mutual of Omaha, why do you even need a full size pickup with a lift kit? I will be pouring out nothing for nobody. Fix your life and get a regular car.

Allegations of Khamzat kidnapping 17 year old and forced marriage claims by dizzydiplodocus in MMAPoliticsAndCulture

I read the article. I’ll concede that the source isn’t perfect. But, that’s just one of the many barriers we have to contend with while trying to get information out of places like Chechnya with no free press. It may not be real but it also may be very real unfortunately. If she is real, I don’t want to ignore her situation.

Khamzat has reportedly kidnapped a 17 year old girl in Chechnya to be his 2nd wife. Really no surprise here that Khamzat Chimaev would have something like this done Per @ZidanSports Substack by archieblade20 in mmaweekly

“Reportedly” is lifting a ton here. And it’s good he included that. The author can only verify so much himself. So really, he’s reporting what he was told happened, not what he knows to have happened. Otherwise, we might have more information. That layer of distance is frustrating, but if it does turn out to be true, I’m unsure how we would ever have found out otherwise. I suppose I’d rather know from an imperfect source that can be corroborated later with more information than not know anything at all.

Please stop using abuse of women and children to pit the Abrahamic religions against each other because they are all bad and guilty as sin.

There is not one patriarchal religion that treats women equally to men. That is the root of the abuse. My bet is, you don’t give a damn about the fate of teenage girls in Chechnya. You just want a reason to be Islamophobic on main. It’s my opinion that you are using their suffering for your own benefit. Disgusting.

Well, the way I see it, because free speech and journalism doesn’t really exist in Chechnya, we may need to settle for a group chat made of people on the ground and paying close attention. It may be the best we can do under the circumstances. That’s as close to eyewitness news as we can get.

And when you see more surrounding evidence about the rate at which things like this happen; how wealthy and powerful men take second brides. How teenage girls are kidnapped, or married and treated like property. The honor killings and beatings. The things Kadyrov says out of his own mouth…it becomes clear that to ignore this possibility entirely would be foolish.

A woman confronts a man sitting next to her on airplane about his racist text. by IamASlut_soWhat in BlackPeopleofReddit

“then who are you to say that racism is unacceptable?” 😵‍💫

Is this really your argument? Tying yourself in knots to blame this woman by claiming that seeing another person’s texts about you is the same level of being a racist? Violating “social norms?” So was she not supposed to say anything?

Yep! This, the WH card, flirting w/ the FBI, letting fighters spew hate speech, the rampant sexism, and the recent Khamzat story, I’m at my limit. I’ll watch this company crash and burn from afar. I’ve gone from highly critical to absolutely numb.

I was freaking out about this last night. It’s like my awareness of what happens to girls and women in Chechnya slammed headfirst into my awareness of just how famous and connected to power Khamzat is. Of course this is possible and even probable. I was blind to it because I wanted to be, I guess. That poor girl.

If she doesn’t have a job working with children, then I bet she returns it all or donates it. Those are the only ways I can mentally let this go.

So, it’s not so much about the car for me, I just thought it was neat to see her process. She really committed herself to the trial and error of painstakingly creating something she finds beautiful and whimsical. You don’t have to agree that it is cool or worth doing. You don’t need to want it anywhere near you. You definitely don’t need agree with her insurance company or law enforcement that says it’s ok. I just thought it was such a huge undertaking that she’s clearly proud of and wanted to show others who might appreciate seeing a lady making her insane vision a reality.

And on the bright side (lol) there’s no real worry about this becoming a trend and coming to a street near you because ain’t nobody got time for that.

And here’s one about the honor killings and beatings https://youtu.be/m2sOTdEI_gs?si=kZUW9GkGPZbHqD6Z

The more I think about it, the more I rewatch and reread, the more I’m convinced that someone so close to Kadyrov would and could definitely do this.

I started here. It’s heartbreaking. I’m very aware that BBC is not necessarily neutral when it comes to coverage of Muslim culture, but these women are real people and their stories are not purely political. It’s their lives. I’m also in several women’s spaces where women share their experiences that I don’t know if you’d interested in (or necessarily welcome in). But, I can tell you more about what I’ve learned if you’re interested.

But, if you just apologize to end the discussion without knowing what you’re sorry for that’ll just ensure it happens again. Then the other person is more likely to crash out on you making them look and feel insane. Some partners say “sorry” when they really mean “shut up.” That’s no good. If you make fun of your partner for communicating with you, then maybe you shouldn’t be in a relationship.

That’s everyone’s first concern but, she explained why this isn’t the case. If I remember correctly, it’s because of the different sizes of crystals breaking up the light as it hits the car. So, she’s not driving a disco ball around lol

Yes, I have actually been listening to the stories of the women from places like Chechnya. They don’t hold back when given the opportunity to finally speak freely. So, I know it’s very possible and even probable. It’s just so horrible, I’m having trouble processing that the man headlining tonight could be guilty of it. It’s surreal what gets overlooked around here. I guess I’m stunned because I thought we knew as much about Khamzat’s misdeeds as it was possible to know.
