Hating Pumpkin Spice Lattes Is Sexist | National Review Online

WTF?

“It all comes back to sexism,” Min Cheng writes in a piece for The Phoenix, Swarthmore’s official student newspaper. “People love to hate on what girls like.”

Has she seen what the manlets wear on college campuses these days? Just shut the **** up and get back in the kitchen.

Hating Pumpkin Spice Lattes Is Sexist | National Review Online

So... if my wife "hates" Lattes of any kind, leggings, Uggs, North Face, Taylor Swift (especially her), Instagram, flower crowns, and crop tops, then SHE is sexist, too?

Stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason.

Wow, did not expect this to happen...

Bahar Mustafa charged with sending malicious message after tweeting 'kill all white men' | Crime | News | The Independent

She should not have been charged. She should have been fired. Now I have to defend this **** on free-speech grounds.

 

[eldirector]

A) She is in the UK. I'm not 100% sure, but I doubt they have the same "free speech" laws as we do in the US.
B) The speech is free. The results may be costly.

A Welfare and Diversity officer calling for the murder of all members of a race/sex? Is that irony, hippocracy, or something else altogether?

Oh, she has an explanation for that:

Ms Mustafa explained that she could not be guilty of sexism or racism against white men "because racism and sexism describe structures of privilege based on race and gender and therefore women of colour and minority genders cannot be racist or sexist, since we do not stand to benefit from such a system."

​

The ***** is delusional.

 

[ArcadiaGP]

It is an odd bit of "Hoist by your own petard". The SJWs pushed for these sorts of laws... they **** the bed and think they'll never have to lie in it.

Sargon of Akkad's take on the Bahar Mustafa situation

I can't disagree. I stand with Bahar Mustafa... in that I consider her a racist, sexist piece of ****... but no one should be arrested for voicing their opinion.

Agreed, but to incite violence is not an "opinion".

Agreed, but to incite violence is not an "opinion".

Isn't a credible threat supposed to have specifics?

"Kill all white men" is one thing... but "Kill that white man at the corner of 10th street at 6:30am with a lead pipe" is actionable.

"Kill all white men" is a retarded idea, something that would/could never happen... but it's the "solution" to the world's problems in her ****ed up mind.

Its Great Britain people have been arrested for way less than that, it is a nanny state after all.

I didnt know where else to put this.... not saying I mind though

Even a 'pizza rat' costume can be made sexy for Halloween

The message from BLM was:

"What do we want?"

"Dead cops!"

"When do we want it?"

"Now!"

That seems to fit your criteria and has happened. What do we do about that? Is that just a cost of free speech? Should the exercise of rights that causes harm be immune to consequences just because speech is protected? Or, notwithstanding the difficulty in proving, should people be held liable for inciting people to do violence because of their speech?

As a practical matter I don't know how BLM could be held liable for the deaths of the rash of cops killed, but I do believe the kinds of people chanting "what do we want?" "Dead cops!" helped incite at least some of those cop killings.

This lady in GB? I can't help but take her any more seriously than Rachel Dolezal.

Yep... and there are members here who have stated the same delusion.

 

[jamil]

Yep... and there are members here who have stated the same delusion.

Well, yeah. They're deluded too. They have their terms confused. Racism and sexism do not describe structures of anything. They describe an individual belief that a race or particular sex, presumably his or hers, is superior. Someone needs to explain that, although a structure can be built on a belief, the structure itself is not a belief.

Yeah, we obviously need more disadvantaged children for the SJWs to get in our faces about.

"Kill all white men"
Kill. = What.
All white men. = Who.
No time given. = Right now.
No place given. = Everywhere.


Some one tells you "Shut up." It means "you" and "right now". The specifics are implied. I am part of the group "all white men" so I have been threatened. If anyone tries to kill me, I have the right to try to kill them right back.
