Another Day, Another Mansplainer

jimhines:

A friend of mine posted something about catcalling and street harassment. To the absolute shock of … well, pretty much nobody, the very first comment on her post was a guy explaining why women shouldn’t be afraid of catcalling, and isn’t it funny how the women complaining aren’t the ones…

Hey, guys? Maybe you’re one of the GOOD ones. The NICE ones. The ones who are catcalling as a sincere compliment because you truly believe that’s the way women like to be addressed. (Oh, I’m sure you are. You are so special. And sensitive. You have the soul of a poet. It says so in your Tindr profile.)

Guess what? To borrow a phrase I heard…somewhere, can’t recall where…NOT ALL MEN are like that.

Many of them are raging assholes. Many of them are scary and insulting. Maybe, I dunno, you should deal with those guys. Because obviously by being scary and insulting, they are fucking up this precious beautiful catcalling thing that YOU do, which is totally emotionally healthy and leaves everyone feeling just marvelous about their day.

Yeah, you should definitely go work on that, Nice Man.

We’ll wait.

Sam Pepper handcuffs himself to women on the street, refusing to release one woman until she kisses him

In January, Sam Pepper uploaded a video called “How To Get A Girlfriend Easy” in which he sneaks up behind or beside unsuspecting women on the street and handcuffs them to himself. He then tells them they’re “his girlfriend now.”

When one victim reacts furiously, saying “No! I don’t know you! Take it off!” and demands that he remove the handcuffs, he refuses and replies with “We’re dating now.” She tries again, “Look, I don’t know where you’re from, but we don’t do this in America. Take this off,” while fighting with the cuffs. He refuses again, insisting they’re “going on a date.” She then tells him that she’s married, to which he says “No, you’re married to me now,” and refuses yet again to remove the handcuffs.

At the end of the video, another woman is pleading with him to undo the handcuffs, and he refuses to until she kisses him on the lips. Pepper appears to think the entire scenario is hilarious at best and endearingly misguided at worst, while the women being “pranked” are visibly livid, terrified, and profoundly uncomfortable.

NONE OF THESE THINGS ARE PRANKS.

We need to stop calling assault by white men on men of color and women of all races “pranks,” because it makes them seem lighthearted and fun, not like the violent criminal acts they are.

NONE OF THESE THINGS ARE PRANKS.

NONE OF THESE THINGS ARE PRANKS.

Oklahoma Cop Charged With Raping 6 Women While on Patrol

trigger warning: rape, sexual assault

An Oklahoma City police officer was arrested Thursday and charged sexually assaulting at least six women while he was on patrol, though police expect more alleged victims to come forward.

Daniel Holtzclaw is charged with rape, oral sodomy and sexual battery. The three-year veteran of the force is being held on a $5 million bond, Reuters reports.

Police said the assaults took place while Holtzclaw was on the job, in some cases as a result of traffic stops.

alright first of all it’s really important to know that he attacked black women ages 34-58, where he demanded they expose themselves, fondle them, raping them, and either asking or demanding oral sex from them.

ladies of oklahoma, if you’ve been attacked by this man, most likely during traffic stops, please don’t be scared to report. this guy’s looking at life in prison and i’m sure your brave contribution would confirm his confinement.

CHICAGO SUN TIMES BEING TRANSPHOBIC AS FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

what a craven little shit

this is singularly transmisogynistic. he goes after Laverne and Chelsea, belittles the seriousness of invasive cis people and their obsession with genetalia, and continually misgenders both like they’re the goddamn arbiter of truth. Kevin Williamson is a sack of shit with a short career ahead.

I just called the Sun Times.

1-888-848-4637

Say “something else”, and then talk to the nice people in customer service. Tell them that this article was hate speech, that you demand a retraction and full apology by the Sun Times, and that you will be making sure that your social media contacts will know (if they leave it up) that the Sun Times republishes unabashed anti-trans hate speech.

KILL HIM.

1-888-848-4637.

Alright y’all we got the number, blow this fucking line up. And don’t stop calling this line til, the Sun Times, not only apologize, prints a retraction, and fires this transmisogynistic piece of shit.

Share this and contact the Sun-Times because transphobia NEEDS TO BE STOMPED OUT.

Here I even wrote a script for when I called and left voicemails for all of the employees because social anxiety makes it hard to talk on the phone sometimes, feel free to use it

“Hi, my name is _______ from ________, and I’m calling in regards to the incredibly transphobic article published yesterday afternoon by Kevin D. Williamson about Laverne Cox. I would like to politely demand that your publication remove the article. The frequent misgendering of Laverne Cox is, quite frankly, despicable, and not worth anyone’s time to read. Transwomen of colour are the population most prone to violent hate crimes on an international scale, and such crimes frequently lead to the death of transwomen. Kevin’s article does nothing but promote incredibly harmful misinformation that further harms and oppresses the trans population, and simply continues to put their lives in danger. That your publication would allow an article such as this to be published is absolutely disgusting. The fact of the matter is that an opinion piece (And a misinformed one at that) regarding any marginalized identity to simply disagree with such identities is completely useless and an act of violence. I expect that your publication will remove what is nothing more than slanderous hate speech and issue a formal apology to your readers. In the year 2014, there is absolutely no reason to allow for such slanderous material to be published via any outlet that desires to maintain any sort of credibility, and you should be ashamed for allowing it to be published in the first place.”

“I will slaughter every single blonde slut I see.” 7 dead in drive-by shooting near UC Santa Barbara

historic-upstart:

‘I will slaughter every single blonde slut I see’: Seven people killed as son of Hunger Games assistant director carries out drive-by shooting ‘because women rebuffed his advances and he was a virgin at 22’

Elliot Rodger, 22, went on a shooting rampage in Santa Barbara, killing six

He posted a video to social media Thursday in which he rants about how women have rejected his advances

Lamenting that he was a 22-year-old virgin, Rodger promises ‘retribution’ and ‘punishment’

He says he plans to enter the ‘hottest sorority on SCSB’ and ‘slaughter’ the girls inside

Women don’t get to exist. Women don’t get to say no.

this is why yall need to quit the nice guy act

From the article:

Rodger was a website forum called PUAHate.com, which describes itself as the ‘Anti-Pickup-Artist Movement’ and aims to reveal ‘the scams, deception, and misleading marketing techniques used by dating gurus and the seduction community to deceive men and profit from them.’ […]

Rodger’s actions have been lauded on the site by other members who have called him a ‘hero.’

A HERO

and these shits wonder why women won’t date them. It’s not because we like the ‘brutes’ and the ‘jerks’ more than you. It’s because you’re the kind of guys our fathers warned us about.
