Nah, fuck the inherent power dynamics shit. If the power balance is not being used in an outright manipulative way, it's just an absolute bunk argument.

women: teach men not to rape, so we dont have to risk our survival when objecting to their sexual advances

you: stop infantilizing women

Sorry, I'm against infantilizing and demeaning women. I consider them fully capable adults, and I hope that some day you might consider that as well.

...do you know anything about sexual assault? I'm sincerely asking.

It's very misogynistic to say women don't have control over their own actions. Women don't need men to lead them around or give them permission to Express themselves. Smh

Also you're straight up saying that a healthy young woman is weaker than a chubby middle-aged nerd, that is also problematic.

this sounded a lot better in your head, I'm sure

If someone is being rude, pushy and unpleasant, you have no obligation to stay with them.

Women are capable of making decisions and following through with them.

I could show you more than enough examples of women turning down advances of drunk men, only to end up assaulted or killed

*trigger warning*: women is shown on video being assaulted

You know what the solution is to all of this?

Leave and go home.

Or just be a better man, so the women who is more then likely less physically imposing and thus, at a major disadvantage if things turn violent, doesnt have to navigate the feelings of an aggressive drunk dude who has demonstrated hes willing to be physical in his pursuit

Dude gets drunk, tries to separate her from her friends, outright attempts to poison the well in a REALLY gross way (insinuating her friend would rape her) and goes off on her with the most cringey play ever (I took you out/paid for all this, you owe me)

The fact that people are dismissing what happened becuase it doesnt inherently rise to criminality is really scary, that's not to even get into some of yall outright blaming her for "leading him on"

That "implication" scene with Dennis in always sunny is a really genius example of how some of you all sound right now.

The places near Boston that arent safe for black people arent really safe for anyone. Im white and I sure wouldnt be walking around Dorchester or Roxbury at night

Dorchester and Roxbury, as a result of gentrification, have undergone pretty significant changes in the last 20 years.

When I left for Portland, I was paying 2200/month for a 3 bedroom apartment, across from newly built 2 bedroom condos going for 600k

A hell of a lot of "but it's not the right kind of racism!!" apologism, complete with constantly moving goal posts.

"Boston is one of the most racist cities in the country. Certainly in the northeast."

"Their sports fans are racist"

No one has to go back to Bill Russell to hear players complain about Sox fans calling them the n-word. Its been discussed multiple times ITT and youre pretending it didnt happen. Its fucking stupid.

1. never pretended it didnt happen. I pointed out Hunter made those comments almost 20 years ago

2. I said if your biggest point of evidence to Bostons racism is its idiots racist sports fans, then that's pretty low on the racism ladder in comparison to other major cities

There's nothing to defend. I already said boston has its issues with racism. I just scoff at it being on par with a New York or Chicago in 2020.

Theres a reason people have to go back to forced integration and Bill Russell when looking for prominent examples.

I'm not saying Boston doesnt have issues with racism. I'm a lifelong black bostonian from Dorchester and Roxbury.

But to hear the rest of the country talk about the place, youd think dudes in trucks were riding around trying to lynch us. Theres levels to racism and "idiot sports fans" is kind of a low threshold

Its funny, you ask people how Boston's racism sticks out moreseo than any other major city and they have to go back 50 years for prominent examples.

I'll always say the greatest trick New York ever pulled was convincing the country that boston is the bastion of racism in the northeast

Fine. I'll say it again. I don't condone violence or killing in the name of politics.

You know why it's so hard to get out of people? You know why they respond with hostility to "if you have this opinion, you must condemn this thing"?

Because it's never enough for you.

Because topic after topic, day after day, week after week, there's another and still another claim of "they did this bad thing! Condemn it now or I'll never accept you!" And it's very often the same events on repeat and it's never enough.

Because our local indolent centrists never have anything to say but "but what about", and it's never enough.

Speaking, explaining, reminding, over and over again and for what? For who? Who are you that we have to prove ourselves?

There's a call to action, and the response is "well do this and maybe I will" and it's never enough.

There are many of us out there hoping "is now enough? This happened and isn't it enough? Can't you say 'enough'?"

And then "but what about" and it's never enough.

You see how that might get exhausting? You see how people might interpret you as in bad faith?

imagine getting this defensive about a movement where you arent asked to do anywhere near the heavy lifting of your black counterparts. You dont risk the emotional labor, nor the risks (financial, political, law enforcement etc.) and yet you're still so hostile. Its wild to look at.

Some people may not have the financial capacity to help or the health to protest. They should not be punished for raising awareness. Also while indifference is not something to be proud of, I'd rather someone do nothing that trying to fight against the movement

If you have the time and energy to declare yourself an ally, you have the time and energy to figure out how you can do your part, even if it's making a legit effort to raise awareness around those in your life
