Blackgendermoderate ?This is truly tragic. I don't even hate him because this wasn't an elaborate plan he cooked up. He wasn't smart enough or conniving enough to come up with a good defense or conceal his heinous crime. I wish there was a way to help him but until science advances, the best we can do is keep people like him locked up. He should never have been released. A woman is dead, leaving behind two children, a grieving family, and a life of unfulfilled promise.
"Adults can't expect to cosy up to an activist movement that regularly calls for a friend's assassination, then assert their right to the former friend's love, as though the friend was in fact their mother. Emma is rightly free to disagree with me and indeed to discuss her feelings about me in public - but I have the same right, and I've finally decided to exercise it."
But about Kirk (and I've talked about him so much I feel I need to restrain myself because he doesn't deserve my energy) I can get why many are upset about the celebration of his murder or a few people who say "Who's next" but I dont think a few nuts online speaks for the majority.
And as wrong as it is that he was murdered, I don't feel sorry he's dead, only that he died in the way he did. These were his own sentiments on George Floyd, BTW. And as gross as I found them, he had a right to say them. I know some of his comments were taken out of context or incomplete but I feel they say exactly what he really thinks and believed and what his followers believe.
And when it comes to enforced rituals like pronoun ritual or mourning ritual, I see a synthesis. The far left can be terrifying but as a Black person and even as a woman, I'm more scared of the far right.
@FemaleIsNotAFeeling@KeepTakingTheSoma Agreed. But that's not what I claimed. I said the reasons I believe this minute of public mourning is being demanded, by whom and for what reasons.
This behavior is disgusting and I'm glad this child is getting the recognition she deserves. In ant part of the world, males are willing to designate a "class" of women (and children) they feel "entitled to rape."
@thatbrickster I'm a woman of colour. I know exactly what many mean when they say a "real" Westerner and that it doesn't include me. I know what this rhetoric leads to. But this is disgusting and un fucking acceptable.
