The fuck. She doesn't even walk like a human being.

What is wrong with you?

This is disgustingly hateful. Why are you insulting an elderly woman's gait? You aren't even bedwetting about the election in a sexist fashion like the rest of this thread. You just went straight to the personal vitriol.

What kind of person are you to post something like this, to just look at her and dehumanize her? What motivates you to post something like this? You should be ashamed of yourself, and I hope you catch at least a temporary ban.

"He walks funny" - Not sexist.
"She walks funny" - Sexist!

The only thing making this sexist to these dolts is that it was said about a woman.

"she's a shitty candidate" -SEXISM!!!!

Derogatory comments of a sexist nature are not ok regardless of who they are used against.

unless they're - off the top of my head - related to a Trump, a republican congresswoman, a white woman asking a black person to obey some trivial legislation on film, or a porn star not wanting to do a scene with a bi man because they're worried about aids.

You know, civil liberties and civil rights used to be about protection from the State. Free Speech/expression, the right to assembly, freedom of religion and so on, are all to do with protection against state power. At some point the meaning shifted to protection by the State. For hundreds of years the greatest threat to freedom was seen as State power. Since that shift, you now have the problem where it is increasingly expected of the state to protect certain rights. I'm sure it can be argued some good came of that. However, we're now in the situation where the very notion of civil rights means the state intervenes to police thoughts, speech, and behaviour. There is something Orwellian about it, and it is understandable why there are people uneasy about it. Historically speaking, too much State power has never really been a good thing. And the pendulum can too easily swing in the other direction, only now with greater power to police thought and behaviour.

I remember a speech Rowan Atkinson made 5 years ago.


It is not so much the speech(although I totally agree with it) that comes to mind, rather the top comment.

This was five years ago. Look around at the state of society today, and it is absolutely clear that every word Atkinson said here fell upon totally deaf ears.

So now we're debating whether 'misogyny', this vague term, should be considered a 'hate crime'.

[Propagandhim]

Rashsaan Muhammad and Mattie Khan were waiting for their order inside Little Big Burger on North Mississippi Avenue when they noticed a woman standing across the street, looking at their parked car.

"She looked odd, but it didn't alarm us," Muhammad told the Mercury in a phone interview. Only when the African American couple had their to-go bags and were walking back toward the car did they sense something was up. According to Muhammad, the woman was on the phone when they reached the car. Khan said she could hear the woman describing their vehicle and reading off the license plate number.
Update: According to a source close to the woman (who asked to remain anonymous), she was on the phone with Portland Bureau of Transportation's parking enforcement hotline—not the police.

So basically she had no idea who the car belonged to, let alone the race of the owners, and was already on the phone when the owners arrived.  This is the first sentence of the OP.  How do these people maintain the idea that she did it because they were black?

Nah, don't go throwing 'entitled cyclist' shit on this. Most of us would not think twice about this and keep on moving on. This is likely some woman who moved to Portland 3 years ago and is upset about how the neighborhood is 'changing' or some shit.

Oh.  That's how.

[Propagandhim]

People have been hand wringing over the threat of a white takeover for years yet every single trend, influence, and movement in rap was created by black people. There's way too much cultural influence coming from "black shit" (the south especially) for white people to make a larger impact on the genre.  Yet 4 years later they're irrelevant and the "big three" rappers of that time (Drake, Kendrick, Cole) are still the three biggest rappers.

I'm actually curious... do black people even listen to commercial rap that much anymore? it's like Football where most black people don't really give a fuck to watch it. They play it to get out of the hood and that's about it.

I never hear anyone using boys to a group of people, in fact the only time I have seen used on here was in the trump thread about shooting the refugees, when someone said i need a drink boys or something like that, they edited their post to say boys and girls in the end, but that is the only time I have seen it used, so I don't think it really is used that much.

Call them all 'men'. That will confuse them.

Traditionally, the word man has been used to refer not only to adult males but also to human beings in general, regardless of sex. There is a historical explanation for this: in Old English, the principal sense of man was ‘a human being’, and the words wer and wif were used to refer specifically to ‘a male person’ and ‘a female person’, respectively. Subsequently, man replaced wer as the normal term for ‘a male person’, but at the same time the older sense ‘a human being’ remained in use. In the second half of the 20th century, the generic use of man to refer to ‘human beings in general’ (as in reptiles were here long before man appeared on the earth) became problematic; the use is now often regarded as sexist or old-fashioned. In some contexts, terms such as the human race or humankind may be used instead of man or mankind. Certain fixed phrases and sayings, such as time and tide wait for no man can be easily rephrased (e.g., time and tide wait for no one). Alternatives for other related terms exist as well: the noun manpower, for example, can usually be replaced with staff or crew, and in most cases, the verbal form to man can be expressed as to staff or to operate

In Old English 'man' was in fact a gender neutral term. So I guess technically you could use 'men' for either males or females. lol
