    A lot of the gay elders i know are tired of history being changed when they were actually there. Unfortunately the biggest myth is that [Marsha P. Johnson] started the stonewall riot and kicked off the lgbt movement.

    But in fact she wasn’t even there when it started. She also referred to herself as a drag queen/transvestite… not trangender. Sylvia Rivera is the one who is trans not mpj.

    If anything it was likely a big butch lesbian who started it.


    There wasnt even a brick that started the riots. A lot was happening at once, but it most like started when cops began harassing Butch Lesbian Stormè DeLarverie and someone, no one is sure who, stepped in to her defense. Violence broke out and next thing we know, we have the stonewall riots. Maybe bricks were thrown with Molotovs, but no one can be credited with doing anything first except maybe DeLarverie asking for help.

    unreasonable hatred of an animal that’s popular among POC.

    ???

    Nobody was talking about POC, lmao, are you trying to accuse pitbull awareness of being racism? Never read a story about a POC viciously attacking a loving family member out of nowhere for no apparent reason. Human beings don’t do that. But pitbulls do.

    I personally knew an older woman in the neighborhood who was the sweetest person in the world, lived by herself with her dog after her husband died, and her pitbull hospitalized her with a completely unprovoked random attack while she was walking it on my block. And I witnessed that ‘windshield incident’ myself, different animal, there is no other breed that is so aggressive/tenacious that it’ll start headbutting a windshield to get at a squirrel running around in front of the car, much less keep doing it even after it’s gotten its face all cut up from the windshield cracking. That is insane behavior.

    There’s nothing unreasonable about not wanting those living ticking time bombs around. Again, you will NEVER find an image of golden labs eating littermates down to the head. Denying the existence of breed-specific traits is just delusional.






  • Why are you proposing scenarios other than the ones I used to specifically exemplify the fact that the measure of sexual assault/rape was massively overinflated?

    Do you think “but what about the situations that are rape” is a counterargument to that? My point is that they counted a lot MORE in ADDITION to those legitimate scenarios, and that’s why such a scary number was arrived at.

    The bottom line fact is, no survey etc. that doesn’t massively dilute the definitions of those terms has ever or will ever reach a conclusion like “1 in 5 female college students have been sexually assaulted or raped”. There is a reason that figure isn’t being thrown around anymore these days–it’s been debunked thoroughly.


  • In my college there was a flyer in the restroom about how something like 1 in 6 women will experience sexual assault or rape.

    And that was shown to be complete horseshit arrived at by defining ‘sexual assault or rape’ in a survey more broadly than any reasonable person ever would.

    It’s similar to the survey in the 80s all the ACABers cite to claim 40% of cops are domestically violent–in that survey, even if a voice was raised one time in the past six months, and it was the cop’s spouse yelling at the cop, that survey dumped the relationship in the domestic violence bucket. Big surprise that 40% figure has never been replicated since, lol.

    One example: at the end of a first date that you weren’t really feeling, the guy goes in for a kiss and you decline? Guess what, even if he ‘graciously’/completely accepts the denial and the date ends without incident, that went in the “sexual assault” bucket, regardless of whether the woman herself felt anything bad had happened.

    Ever had sex while less than stone cold sober (keep in mind the entirety of the surveyed considered to arrive at this figure were college students)? Survey says you were raped. Doesn’t matter if you were just tipsy, doesn’t matter if you and your partner were equally drunk, doesn’t matter whether you think you were raped/assaulted, nope, we decided you were.

    Stuff like that is the only way to get to a figure so absurd.
