Hey, I wish more people would. There's a lot of dumb bullshit being put out by Imgur and Reddit and just knowing that it's bunk is fine but it's much better if you can specifically explain how.

I think a lot of it comes from not understanding what white culture is. They cry about there not being white culture celebrations without realizing that white culture is basically default American culture. White people have been the majority and considered the default of "American" since the country was a concept. That's only recently been questioned, and people are slowly moving to embrace the full range of cultures in the country as American. Some white people who've never given it much thought see minorities expressing pride and being embraced, and they feel threatened and encroached on without realizing it's because others are becoming more equal.

That's because it's a strawman. It's like saying all feminists are the radical dick-chopping man-haters, except applied to pretty much any equal rights movement.

There are a few crazies that actually exist, but they're so few and so ineffectual that it's as realistic of a worry as an ex-president is going to jump out and mug you.

But Bill Clinton stealing your wallet isn't resolved by lying in a cheap intellectual potshot.

I am so baffled by this. Does this person think that SJW's believe that buying clothes for a girlfriend or spouse is misogynistic? I mean, if you're clearly dictating how they must dress like they're a Barbie doll, sure, but this is just such an odd thing to imagine people actually get upset about that it can't be anything but a strawman.

And who is this SJW? A customer? A clerk? The only reason I go shopping at a store these days is to either get assistance with sizes or try things on. Otherwise, it's easier just order things online to avoid the hassle. And trust me, the people at Nordstrom's know you're not buying for your girlfriend. At most clothing stores, crossdressers are a known quantity and no one thinks the guy that's spent a half an hour eyeballing sizes in the woman's plus size section without asking for help is shopping for their SO.

It's such a bizarre fantasy. I really don't know what to make of it.

That's obvious, but what I don't get is why people are buying it even though it's such a weird story to lie about and so obviously stdh. Not to mention, a majority of the anti-SJW set is rabidly transphobic, so I can't see them effectively using this as any sort of trump card.

I just don't get what on earth possessed someone to lie about this and why people are upvoting it. The whole thing is bizarre.

These people enjoy any sort of fantasy about women being owned or put in their place and are willing to completely ignore the fact that 99% of them are complete stdh. it's not much more complex than that

But they can't be blatantly misogynist about it, so the woman has to be the aggressor and saying something ridiculous and hypocritical, so that the protagonist of this tale is both putting a woman in her place and the real egalitarian.

Some of the anti-PC, anti-social justice crowd are people who self-identify as liberal and believe that PC-gone-too-far will eventually collapse on itself into a backwards conservatism, like here, where an assumption of sexism is inherently transphobic. I don't think the people who hate SJW stuff necessarily analyze it on that level, but the idea that you could prejudge a person's behavior as problematic and such a judgement would be problematic in and of itself is something people like (many social justice types who don't spend all their time on tumblr would probably agree that any prejudice is problematic regardless of target, but imgur only cares about the kind that invades their internet spaces, which is usually the tumblr kind).

What you can do on any of these posts is to expand every comment chain and ctrl+f for "bitch" and "oval office". I've never seen the total not be in the double digits.

So, please explain why you don't want Hillary to be the first female president, like I mean, actually give reasons, not "she's a oval office" or "She's a psycho!" or the comment "She changes her position to what is politically popular!" as if 100% of all politicians do that, unless they don't want to change with the attitudes of the electorate. It still boggles my mind that we think inflexibility and stubbornness are virtues.

I'll bet if you asked a single one of them to tell you what percentage of the rough stone trade De Beers is actually responsible for, they couldn't tell you.

Don't get me wrong, the diamond industry is a hive of scum and villainy, but [strike]because they're a fashion item generally associated with women[/strike] for some strange reason jewelry raises more passionate ire and condemnation from the imgur/Reddit crowd than other products with similar markups and shady histories.

But no, please tell me more about how diamonds have ridiculously inflated prices, benefit from slave labor and lovely environmental practices, and don't have any real value as you drink a six dollar mocha.
