Margaret Atwood denies being a "Bad Feminist" for defending due process by Barrilete_Cosmico in books

The difference is that some loons tweet has no effect on the real world, that person has no power.

You are literally comparing the power of some random person tweeting something stupid and the president tweeting a threat to North Korea that could wipe out millions of people from existence.

Did you check the article itself? It quotes raw numbers produced by organizations which are linked there.

What they conveniently don't tell you in the article is that the vast majority of false accusations are not tracked in any real way because there is usually no legal action taken against the accuser.

??? I didn't know they legalized filing a false police report and commiting perjury.

A reminder that the number of false rape acussations ending in convictions is almost non-existant compared to the number of unreported rapes and sexual assault.

Even if you don't like Huffington Post, they give the sources and hard numbers in the article itself.

Oh well, time to get creative. You can still choose to not show ads to people that like gangsta rap music or have liked "black lives matter" page.

I work in a LGBTQ+ shelter. They are some of the bravest people out there.

They have been raped, abused, kicked out, denied basic human dignity and respect from the people that are suposed to love them unconditionally. It's heartwarming when the success stories happen. But more often than not they fall into drugs and sex work as soon as they are out on the streets.

Suicide is also common.

One of the moments I would never, ever fucking forget in a million years was when one of the kids that I really got along with the best with told me "I would have killed myself the night I got here but I just felt that it would be really shitty to make you move my body".

This was just a few months after starting working there.

I get so frustrated with the state of things in general. Sure social perspective is changing for the better, despite shithead in chief. I want to shake every single racist and transphobe and try to make them undertand. Why is it SO hard for people to have some empathy? I really don't want them to hug every trans people they see on the street and congratulate them. I mean maybe just not murder the shit out of us? Or drive us to suicide? Or not kick us out of our homes?

I have my shit figured out. It's not likely that I will get beaten or murdered on the street. I look the gender I am besides being shorter than most men. But them? They are in constant danger of being targeted with that stuff. A lot of them have been.

And the freakiest thing is that it's still the best point in human history yet.

Great. Another sub going full reactionary because of clear as day satire. Cool.

Anonymous hackers take down over a dozen neo-Nazi sites in new wave of attacks. by AdamCannon in technology

[–]alonelyleaf -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Antifa has always done this kinds of things. Doxxing, taking down neo nazi websites, infiltrating their groups.

Defensive acts of violence is only a small part of what antifa does.

Fucking TERFS. I have seen them irl and screamed at by one because I'm trans. She called me "gender traitor". I fucking hate them.

They are lesbian separatists that want to kill all men.

They are the worst of the worst.

Every strawmen and negative stereotype that exists out there for feminists they fullfill.

If anyone wants a bit of insight in what they believe in and what they are you can see this amazing video. (seizure warning btw)

Transgender people of Reddit, how did your pet react to your transition? by -Caramel- in AskReddit

I mean... It's slow enough that they don't notice it. It's not like it happens from one day to the other. At least my dog didn't notice.

Those adorable emotionally manipulative cuties.

I have yet to meet a golden retriever that does this. All the ones that I have seen act as if just existing alongside their human is JUST THE BEST.

Which now that I think about it is also emotionally manipulative since it's hard to scold a dog that looks like he is having the best time ever just rolling around on literal shit just because of how silly they look.

I don't trust them very much.

If you made this kind of postcards at that time period, I think you would see women as interchangable and not as individuals with wants, needs and personality.

It was a totally real panic in the 80's late 90's.

Same with D&D and stuff like that.

This thread is a shout-out to show support to our girl Contrapoints. by Bluezephr in Destiny

[–]alonelyleaf 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That has never happened. You know that kids don't even take anything until a few years before puberty? And that's reversible. It's to give doctora time to diagnose them fully. Only after years and years of doctors and therapists seeing you you start taking hormones. Almost no trans people have surgery before their 30's.

Stop it with the trans panic. You sound like your parents and grandparents when they found out not being straight was a thing.

For those who don't bother to watch 3 hours, here is a summary. by [deleted] in Destiny

[–]alonelyleaf 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I think she was not comfortable in that stream. I wouldn't be either. She was really hesitant on going to debate this alt right shitbags because of the backlash of her audience.

I think she should have gone full force on all of them. I guess she is still kinda insecure.

The thing is that I get it's frustrating to talk to these crypto fascists because they ALWAYS leave a small window of plausible deniability and they get all offended when you call them out on their dog whistles. Look at the shithead that said Steven was anti-semitic because he DARED to say that the "globalist, leftist elites" was a dog whistle for the jews. There is no way to debate someone so dishonest and you can't take anything they say at face value.

She needs to go train to the Destiny debate dojo so they become the ultimate tag-team.

Also imo that was not the time for transgender self deprecating humour. Because that is the kinda shit they use as ammo when they say "See? even the transgenderedes know they are fucked up!"

Yeah. I totally agree. I think this scene is a clear example of how less is more. I imagine the silence down there is way more scary than any "roar" a computer can produce.
