2. Rapists

3. Rape apologists who value an over-rated ’80s sitcom over the lives and well-being of women.

[dat1dood]

Bill Cosby should be left alone the man is about to step off the damn cliff and all people are doing is trying to get money out of him. Fuck you people…

[waxxie]

People would be talking about it, just as people talked about the rape jokes made by a FICTIONAL female character in Horrible Bosses. It was typically men that found it funny or hot though.

[dat1dood]

Perhaps someone would give it a glance and say thats too bad… but no one would really start a whole campaign to ruin the hypothetical female cosby’s life. you have to know this.

[waxxie]

If he raped tons of people, he deserves what he has coming. Are you really excusing the actions of a suspected rapist? I don’t give a shit about how he feels. How did those girls feel? And on the Horrible Bosses thing, people gave it more than a glance. The people that were talking about women raping guys and getting the word out about it were feminists. Of course that wasn’t in the news because a lot of the media is sexist. See how this comes back around?

[thankscaptainbringdown]

Are you denying a citizen of the United States the right to be innocent until proven guilty in a trial of law?

[mcdyke-deactivated20171112]

So ALL men should be treated like trash because SOME men are trash? Makes zero sense.

It’s not ‘some men’. It’s ‘most men’. Violent acts are overwhelmingly committed by men, so the whole ‘not all men’ argument just derails the fact that males are perpetrators of violence. Males care more about feeling sorry for themselves when women call out that they’re violent than they do about the actual violence being inflicted on women.

[thankscaptainbringdown]

I'm a man and I've never inflicted any violence upon a woman. Or anybody for that matter.

Your statement that "males are the perpetrators of violence" does not stand up, because while a large portion of them are, not all men, are violent psychopaths.

Even if you wish them to be.

[fallingasleepforever]

white people who say they aren’t racist are absolutely racist

[thankscaptainbringdown]

I'm not racist. I am white.

Ethnics who state what you just said are racist, and nothing you can say will change that.

[polyglotplatypus]

I am deeply sorry. I apologize to anyone who has ever been hurt or prejudiced against by someone like me. I have acknowledged my privileges and wish one day they won’t be called privileges anymore because you will have them too. If I ever do anything offensive, tell me and teach me what I...

[thankscaptainbringdown]

I really hope you're kidding.

You have nothing to be sorry for. Never apologize for being offensive. A world of weak skinned humans is being brought up, and apologies for every little thing is only fueling the fire.

Apologize for if you hit somebody with a door, or accidentally cut them off. Never apologize for something you were born with, and had no way of being in control of.

Apologizing for being a "white European man" is akin to you selling out every other like you. You're committing an atrocity on a racial level against your own people.

The people on this site do not apologize for the lives they ruin. For the people that now must worry about how their bills will be paid, or if they will be able to eat tonight.

What the fuck do you have to be sorry for?

Women’s Rights News

[thankscaptainbringdown]

Yes, and fear of being accused of rape, mugged, killed, enacted for the draft, dying of early heart disease, being told to check my privilege, being told that something my ancestors did is my fault, being told that all of the modern problems of the world are my fault, having to remain emotionally strong while my female counterparts fall apart and blame me for everything is a normal part of being a man. Like breathing and eating.

[whoneedsfeminism]

I need feminism because during  class discussion, a guy said that unlike men, women are too emotional to properly run a country and should therefore not be allowed to do so.

[thankscaptainbringdown]

You need feminism because somebody had an opinion?

Really?

[profeminist]

[thankscaptainbringdown]

Why not? It's worked so far.

List of people still defending Bill Cosby

1. Bill Cosby

2. Rapists

3. Rape apologists who value an over-rated ’80s sitcom over the lives and well-being of women.

[thankscaptainbringdown]

Or you know, people that believe in America all people are innocent until proven guilty.

Like the law says.

[mysharona1987]

We’re not in a court of law, though.

And he’s been accused by over 20 women at this point. Come on.

[thankscaptainbringdown]

Accused by twenty women, after details of the "assaults" were published to the public. That's like claiming nobody cheated on a test, when it's an open book test.

If he did actually do it, then may he be punished. But until he goes to trial, he is innocent.

That is all there is to it.

The law does not discriminate.

Fun game: list examples of cishet white male privilege

[thankscaptainbringdown]

Or don't, you know?

[escapisminprogress]

I don’t understand why being thin, just bones and boobs, is considered the “desirable” look for a female to have. Our society drools over unnatural, extremely hard to manage (well at least for most women) beauty, and it makes me puke

[thankscaptainbringdown]

It's about being healthy. Hardly do you see just "skin and bones" anymore.

Beauty, is of course, in the eye of the beholder. Many people have different preferences on how people look.

[earnestlyxmine]

I am so tired of going to clubs and being groped and grabbed and physically trapped by the arms of men who I have never met before and never provoked. I’m so tired and deflated and no amount of shouting about it ever works.

[thankscaptainbringdown]

So don't go to clubs. Tada.

[jonathanslittletoolbelt-deactiv]

i used to love action movies but then i realized that even the strong female characters are just there to be objectified. like i watch a movie and ask myself if that character would still have value in if she were 20 pounds heavier with a less symmetrical face, and if the answer is “no” then u...

[thankscaptainbringdown]

First, I doubt a 200 lbs woman with a high body fat percentage could perform most of the actions required in an action movie.

Second, there exists this thing called humor. Not every thing is an attempt to demean or exert control.

Third, is this really something that comes over your mind when you watch movies? Do you even watch them for the story, or the action?

[queer-feminist-quotes]

It is illegal for women to go topless in most cities, yet you can buy a magazine of a woman without her top on at any 7-11 store. So, you can sell breasts, but you cannot wear breasts, in America.

This is because it is elected to purchase the magazine. Forcing somebody to view your naked body is likely going to offend them.

[compassioncole]

i wish people would realize that singling women out to mock them for their looks, even awful horrible women who deserve criticism, is implicitly misogynist in that it ranks enforcement of misogynist beauty norms as more important than legitimate criticism of someone’s actions and opinions

it’s not okay just because you don’t like the person

[thankscaptainbringdown]

The interesting thing is most of the time, the people mocking other women, are, you guessed it, other women!

[permaculturerainbows-deactivate]

[thankscaptainbringdown]

Except there is currently a part of the national budget, as well as private charities, to prevent starving children and such from happening.

[sush-mcnugget]

Men get all annoyed when people hand out fucking flyers to them on the street, but think it’s perfectly fine to hand out sexual advances to women hmmmm 

[thankscaptainbringdown]

Implying letting another member of the opposite sex that you find them attractive is akin to telling somebody not to rape.

You see the issue here?

[morganandthebear-deactivated201]

This this this.

[thankscaptainbringdown]

Let's break this down.

A woman located in the midwest of the United States, without any contact to the ocean or sea, is obviously going to have a hard time getting killed by a shark.

While, one on the coast, has of course, a higher chance of it. It is only logical that exposure increases these chances. This picture makes it seem like every woman interacts with sharks every day.

Where-as, they obviously will come across a male of their own species every day. Are you seeing the issue here?
