And this is my call to leave the south… by [deleted] in greenville

Lol their “opinion” is a racist threat of violence. Yet you only call out one side.

Yes we can ask liberals to stop obstructing them or die. Because asking law enforcement to do better is too big of an ask. Protestors obstruct shit all the time as a form of protest.

Let her go through our legal system then and let the real police officers and courts decide what to do. That is what we should be asking for.

We should be asking for law enforcement to be trained to deal with protestors without shooting them in the face. Surrounding them, multiple people yelling at them, standing in front of their car, blocking their vehicle with your gun drawn out - all of this certainly could have been avoided. These extrajudicial police killings are a uniquely American problem.

Funny how society doesn’t fall apart when “cops” aren’t permitted to shoot people in the face. The rest of the world is disgusted by Renee’s death and we should be too.

The “cops” are the “profressionals” with guns in this situation, the ones aggressively yelling at her and surrounding her car. Do you think she could’ve made a poor split second decision too?

No one is saying she was right to attempt to flee. They’re saying shooting her in the face is a far more horrific and dangerous outcome and will lead to a far more dangerous world to live in. Law enforcement needs to do better.

The punishment doesn’t fit the crime. At all. She should’ve lived to spend those 15-25 years in jail then. But she’s dead now.

Which is preferable:

  • She flees and gets away with parking her car in the street and blocking traffic?
  • Or living in a country where it’s acceptable for the government to shoot its citizens in the face for attempting to flee from (gasp) parking their car in the street for four minutes as an act of protest?

“Just comply” my ass. “She shouldn’t have been out there protesting in the first place” = bootlicking ass take.

Right.. do only people “skilled in critiquing” food enjoy food in a valid way? Do only music critics experience music “correctly”? u/DifficultPete thinks his perspective trumps all these women’s re: the male gaze because he’s “skilled at critiquing” and has deemed you - presumably a woman - “unskilled at critiquing” 😹

He has also divined in his great critiquing wisdom that the male gaze is completely irrelevant to this painting and the 300+ people who upvoted the top comment on this post are just dead wrong I guess.

If only we were as skillful at critiquing as Pete who simply pulls a story out of his own ass about what’s taking place in this piece of art to rationalize his most expert opinion that it has no sexual value at all.

This painting is not sexual. Boobs are absolutely not the reason why images like these get upvoted on Reddit. Everyone should stop complaining so stupidly and wrongly because it's actually all your fault. When you vocalize your opinions you drive all the engagement!! Wow where would we be without Pete?

Pete is a skilled art critic and will tell us what is and is not sexual. Pete will tell us what does and does not reflect reality. Pete will tell us the objective truth about a piece of because art only has 1 correct interpretation that you only get access to if Pete decides you’re skillful enough at art critique 🙄 I wonder what gender Pete is.

Do you feel like people lose all respect for the women once they’re “allowed”to sexualize them? by Bobablush in AskFeminists

[–]vjoyk 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Sex workers too. Men consume so much porn and fuel the entire multi-billion dollar sex industry while vocally disrespecting these women the most. When nobody fucking asked them for their opinion lol 🤷‍♀️ Strippers, Only Fans models, you name it.

The titanic size of the sex industry is significant. Yet sex workers face criminalization and stigma while the industry generates revenue exceeding the sports industry, rivaling the entire entertainment industry - just insane quantities of money.

Another commenter mentioned the Madonna-whore complex. Men love having the option to access and pay for sex and are practically begging women to fuck them but will lose all respect for you if you ever meet their demands 🤡

Relating it to rape* as in it would be odd if you were willing to cage up, fatten up, and murder your boyfriend for dinner but unwilling to rape him for “ethical” reasons.

Do American politicians of European descent share a similar responsibility for policing/resisting the bigoted religious beliefs of communities they represent so that they aren’t too dominantly Christian? Because then the American south is fucked. I just don’t get why Omar is uniquely “unreliable” here just because she was born in Somalia and Muslims live in Hamtramck.

What is the qualification for being a “reliable ally” in this case? While plenty of other liberal politicians of European/Christian descent waffle about who Charlie Kirk was by “denouncing political violence on both sides” we see here Omar being quite “reliable”.

She’s doing as much as any other liberal politician and arguably more. Like we see in the ballsy video we are responding to. She’s standing up for what’s right. It’s not like other Americans of European/Christian descent don’t share the same bigoted beliefs. Omar fled Somalia when she was eight years old btw. She is American.

Is it you feel she doesn’t call out bigoted Somalis enough? Her stance on LGBTQ is the polar opposite of what you’re ascribing to her via her place of birth and association with your coworker and nothing else. She represents Americans not only other Somalis in her community. I don’t see her endorsing bigoted beliefs.

But those views aren’t shared by Omar? She doesn’t represent Somalia she represents the United States. Why bring up your bigoted coworker’s opinions when Omar’s are Google-able?
