running this scenario through my head still doesnt make sense.

if a shot was communicated ahead of time because of a perceived threat than obv tehre was a threat.

if the shot was not communicated ahead of time then it was a shot from an unknown location/person and thus a potential threat.

eitehr way i would have expected his bodyguards to rush him off the stage just in case.

The threat doesn't necessarily have to be imminent - snipers (under certain circumstances) take shots while the window is open.

It is not politically advantageous to be noticeably surrounded by bodyguards while the crowd watching you is left to its own devices - see noted pissbaby and loser of the 2016 election Donald Trump for more details.

e: NB I don't know what the circumstances were here, I'm just broadly theorising.

My point was that you don't know this and no one can.

I, too, have taken sociology courses. I realize that sexism and patriarchy are everywhere. I don't think it's worthwhile to say "HAVE YOU CONSIDERED HOW YOUR RIGHTFUL DERISION IS ACTUALLY SEXIST?"

If patriarchy's grabby tentacles reach into every crevice of society, there are gonna be times when calling out the sexism is pointless and redundant and serves only to deflate criticism. This, in the opinion of a 24 year old male (thank you for divining my gender and sex by the way, I super duper appreciate it!) on the internet who is wrong in most things, is one of those times. There's a far more plausible and palpable reason for this backlash, as you point out too.

By invoking a sexist root you can't prove except by its omnipresence, you only lessen the effectiveness of the racial criticism: People On The Left especially go out of their way to not appear sexist. Call the critique sexist enough and suddenly it doesn't work anymore.

This is a cousin to the kind of concern trolling that those people use when they're going on about how women in Saudi Arabia can't drive and that means that there's no point in fighting for women's rights here while such injustices exist--except maybe you aren't trolling??

Also, just on its face, it's a funny loving picture.

Am I weird for not really understanding the uproar over Kellyanne Conway? I mean, yes, sitting on the couch like that with your shoes on is kinda immature-looking and you shouldn't do it, but it reminds me very forcibly of all the bitching by former Bush guys who hated the fact that Obama's people didn't wear coats and ties at all times in the West Wing.
