Jason Miller is the type of conservative who cheats on his wife, kills his unborn lovechild by posion, and will NEVER be renounced by evangelicals.
Oh, didn’t you hear? As far as evangelicals are concerned, abortion is totally fine when men do it! It was never about protecting fetuses at all! It’s been about controlling women this whole time.
Also someone can correct me of I’m wrong to be concerned about this, but how could he have gotten the info needed to ensure a proper dose to avoid medical complications? He not only violated her bodily autonomy at best, but he could have caused a medical emergency on top of that. Abortion is often perfectly safe, esp when done waelt, but only if the pregnant woman gives informed consent to someone who knows what the fuck they’re doing.
Sometimes I purposely have headphones in with no actual music to stop people from trying to talk to me. Enraging.
I had to stop reading. this made my brain hurt. if she has head phones leave her alone. if she is me leave me alone always and forever
This is rape culture
Lol unless you’re telling her the bus is here, it’s the last stop on a train, or some pertinent information, leave the damn woman and her headphones the fuck alone.
Fixed it.
Thank you I was about to throw my phone at a wall
Okay but… can someone tell me why this is so bad? I mean, all the article told you (as a guy) to do is walk up to a girl with headphones on, motion for her to take them off, and pay her a nice and non-creepy compliment. It then tells you to tell her you have somewhere to go soon, so that the girl in question doesn’t feel crowded or like she’s in a conversation she can’t get out of.
This seems perfectly fine to me… is there some subtext I’m missing or something??
Women get approached in public a lot.Usually this is unwanted. One of the things women now do to combat this is to make themselves unapproachable, and one of the best ways to do that is to have on headphones. Lots of women wear headphones even if they aren’t listening to music, just to avoid unwanted advances from men they don’t feel like talking to.
This article is basically saying, “how to get around the physical barrier women have put up so they don’t have to talk to you.” It’s the equivalent of “Oh, she built a moat? well here’s how to build a bridge!”
It’s assumptive, it’s entitled, and it furthers the idea that men deserve to talk to women no matter what the woman herself actually wants. It’s giving men tools to try to knock down barriers women have put up deliberately to avoid having to interact with them. It’s creepy as fuck, it’s rude, and it’s furthering rape culture–ie the idea that men have a right to a woman’s time, body, etc.
There are times and places women may wish to be approached. But if they have in headphones, it’s a damn good bet this isn’t one of them, so concocting strategies to approach them anyway is ignoring their wishes in favor of the man’s, and that’s not okay.
You can literally invent a fictional man in a sentence long Tumblr post as a rhetorical device whose only character trait is that he’s an abuser and some dude will still try to argue that he’s misunderstood and the woman he hurt is a bitch.
you could share an article where the only information known about someone’s abuser is that he was abusive and some dude will still argue that she’s a liar and even if she wasn’t lying she probably deserved it and he is the real victim
you could say “I was raped” without even identifying your rapist, not accusing anyone, just straight up saying you’re a survivor, and some dude will send you hate mail talking bout “false accusations ruin men’s lives!! how dare you, you lying selfish cunt!”
lmao, like it doesn’t even surprise me anymore. they will literally defend any abuser or rapist just for being an abuser or rapist. doesn’t matter if they know him or if he’s even real, cause it’s not even about him– these dudes are literally just telling on themselves.
Something in the Kavernaugh or however you spell it, accusation got me thinking when a white house lawyer said if they can take down a scotus nominee with a rape allegation than no man is safe. They protect that random guy so he’ll protect them when the woman he harmed comes calling. Its like a sick game of pay forward but instead of coffee its being protected from the horrible shit they’ve done to women.
