You know what would happen next? Liberals would be outraged, say this was sexist victim blaming, and demand classes teaching "men not to rape." Not exactly the same reaction they're having here.


Cool. Now imagine colleges doing what you're doing and basically saying "Men need not attend because a small minority of them are rapists and a not-insignificant amount of them don't even know what rape is."

You would be like "lol those liberal policies".

It's stupid in both situations.

Simple solution here if you're concerned about this guy's livelihood: don't make employment the sole means of obtaining the necessities of life. Support broadening the social safety net instead of cutting it. Make it so that losing one's job doesn't also mean losing one's health insurance. Furthermore, support mechanisms (i.e. unions) that would protect workers from being fired on an employer's whim.


I'd hate to have to continue to work with a Neo-Nazi because laws prevent him from being fired.

Imagine if I was an employer. I get along with you, my employee. One day, it comes to my attention you think that Hitler wasn't that bad of a guy and he had some pretty good points. I fire you, because I don't want a Nazi Sympathizer working for me.

In the fucked up CE thinking, you should have the right to be a Nazi Sympathizer, but I should have no right to not want to employ a Nazi sympathizer. Furthermore, these would be the same people that say racial profiling on race to determine one's religion makes perfect sense.

A lot of you would be fired from your jobs (if you have them) if your posts here were linked to your identity.

No. And not because of how I feel about certain feminist arguments, but simply because I don't consider myself ascribing to any literature that feminists subscribe to, nor do I believe that the label itself does me any favor. Anyone can take their definition of feminist and apply it to my behavior and decide for themselves whether or not I'm a feminist or not.

I can't say "I'm a feminist", without defining what I think a feminist is. And any definition I come up with, aside from the overly general one, (which I think I behave in), will be met with disagreements.

Gentrification, like a lot of things, has winners and losers. Imagine a company being acquired by a bigger company and then firing 90% of its original staff and then filling in those spots with their own staff. It would be rather insensitive to say something like "The company is more profitable, therefore this is a win!".

To the people it is not a win to, it is a slap in the face. Even to the people who it is a win to, they (if they are liberal) do not want to be reminded that they are contributing to the displacement of low income residents of a community.

This looks crazy, is this how people in the US see things ?

I can call my friend an asshole and he won't be offended because he knows I don't mean it. I cannot call someone I don't know an asshole though, because we haven't had the types of interactions to make that ok.

It's no different with any slur. Girls call each other bitches all the time, but if a guy calls them a bitch it comes off suspect.


Did you see Coates' speech about that.

It was something like "If you see your wife calling her best friend a bitch, and her best friend calls your wife a bitch as a friend, you do not join in, and you don't want to join in", it's only with black people that for some reason everyone is uncomfortable with them having words for themselves.

Dude, we know that companies can do what they want. It's not about the legally, it's about the ethics and implications on society it has. And this is saying if twitter knows I posted a troll topic on CE then I can't tweet, even if I haven't shared those views on twitter.


Then stop trolling with hate symbols?

Really it's not that hard. It's not like trolling is some valuable part of our cultural communication that needs to be protected at all costs. Like I troll, and some of my trolling could probably get me into trouble. But that's quite literally on me. The vast majority of people don't troll with things that could get them in trouble.

Trolling is fun because there are no actual consequences to doing it. You make some people very angry, and you go about with your life. Now you get your microphone taken away. You must see the pettiness of saying "I can't make people angry for my own amusement and that's disgusting".

Is it possible that it will run amok? Definitely. And lets cross that bridge when we come to it.

if George RR Martin starts banging the hot extras, does he become an alpha male?

does that also qualify porn actors as alpha in real life?


If women started going after people like George RR Martin, there would be a large cultural shift in how we understand alphas.

It's not a single individual. But Louis CK was no longer a beta male, especially in the context of comedy circles. He was a god.

Part of the male centric way this country thinks, possession of women seems to be a large part of the worth of a man. So you could be a jock at a school, but if all the women ignored you and were all over the kid who plays a mad flute, the fact that you could kick his ass is irrelevant. Nobody would call the flute player the beta, because a large part of how we understand those terms (when describing men) is in relation to women.

Now they might not necessarily call the jock a beta either, but he wouldn't be an alpha either.

you believe a married man who has dated and had relationships with multiple supermodels\actresses is a beta male?


Comedians for instance are not alphas until they become successful. They're often shy and awkward. Actors are the same way. They may be hot shit within their own circles, but they are definitely not alphas in the normal sense of the word.

Make me famous and put me at a comedy festival, and in that scenario I have a lot of power. Put me at a sporting event, and I don't have enough.

It seems like you're saying and correct me if I'm wrong, that if women just went after men who were more reserved and less dominant, then sexual harassment would be mitigated. And I am saying, a culture in which women went after those men would change the dynamic of what it meant to be a beta.

the irony is actually the answer is literally beta males


To be honest, assuming we're talking about the same types of people. they don't sexually harass women because they are beta males. If women paid them more attention, they wouldn't be beta males and would likely have more confidence to sexually harass women.

Beta males do not treat women with more respect, they avoid women altogether. The difference is that they are intimidated in person rather than looking down upon them.

You likely don't care if it's important to them, because it's not important to you. But because it doesn't affect you, you instead have to get very upset that they are depicting a character the wrong way.

The funny thing about this all you'd need to do is add violence to this, and suddenly you could be a convincing radical terrorist.


Maybe then you'd guys would have my back, for once.


Nah. I would have your back if you were someone who was willing to live your life and let other people live theirs. But you have to simultaneously get outraged that other people don't live like you because they're ruining your culture while chiding people because you perceive that they are being too vocal about their misfortune.

You don't have to be a violent terrorist to be a terrible person.

At worst, you won't be able to use twitter. That's literally not something to fear. But this isn't about hiding things, this is about hate symbols. 99% of people have no issue. It's the people that need a mainstream platform to spread hate symbols are the ones with an issue. Basically everyone from the Center Left -> Center Right will not be affected. Even the people on the extremes who are smart enough not to be explicit are okay. It's the idiots who are both terrible and lack tact that are going to have a hard time.
