Current Events > Conservative MAN buys a Ticket to a WOMEN'S ONLY event for Wonder Woman!!

(+) Yeah! (+)

Stephen Miller, a conservative man in Brooklyn sparked outrage after he tweeted a photo of his ticket receipt to a WOMEN'S ONLY screening of the new Wonder Woman!!

He writes for the conservative site "Heat Street" and said he would be attending the "no boys allowed" screening of the new film at the Alamao Drafthouse movie theatre and said "i have some personal news i'd like to share" and shared the pictures

The theatre announced "Apologies, gentlemen, but we're embracing our girl power and saying No Guys Allowed for several special shows at the Alamao Downtown Brooklyn and we say Women (and people who identify as women" only. we mean it"

He was "bothered" by the choice to host a ladies only screening but said he's not "interested in causing a scene"

He replied to the outrage and said "I'll be enjying the film with the tickeet i purchased"

He pointed out it was legal to buy a ticket to a specific screening but it would be illegal to kick him out on grounds of sex or gender identity and said "They cannot remove me froma public place for my sex or gender. I plan on enjoying the film, Thanks"

Stephen also referred to the new film as "Chris Pine superhero movie" and ignoring the fact that this is the first comic book movie inspired by a woman since Elektra.

People blasted and wrote "Some men lay down their lives battling white supremacists on the streets. Others demand admittance to the women only Wonder Woman screening" which was in reference to the 2 good Samaritans killed by a Nazi supporter in Portland

An employ at the theatre said they hold various types of screenings now and then for women's only screenings which was just meant as a fun celebration.

Do you think Stephen is a Troll? let's see what people think

Stephen - Jerk

I wonder how these people would have reacted to Rosa Parks. "Why can't blacks let whites have this ONE THING and just sit at the back of the bus?"

What is he talking about?

This right here is why the world would be a better place if we still brought people out back for an ass whooping.

tc i love your topics and i want you to make more of them please


you have been slacking lately

I bet this guy called people "dweebs" in high school and shoved smaller guys in the lockers.

Good for him. He is exposing the Libby Hippie Hypocrisy.

Well, why the fuck did they even sell him the ticket in the first place?

Chances are there weren't crowds in those locations to object. Given enough people making a fuss in the theater, there's the chance it could look like it'd start to turn violent, in which case the theater employees/owner would have the right to have him removed for creating a disturbance.

You can't refuse someone on the basis of sex.

So long as he does what every other normal human being does, and that's not fuck around on his cell phone during the movie, I don't see what the problem is.

You can't create a disturbance by simply existing. He'd have to provoke them/yell at them obnoxiously. From his twitter it seems like he just plans on sitting quietly to watch the movie.

The women would be the ones creating a disturbance in your example.

Probably because at the time white people had many more than "one thing" to themselves. Also men weren't second-class citizens entitled only to inferior services.

Just like women have more than just "one thing" to themselves:

* Preferential treatment in all levels of schooling
* Affirmative action and greater access to college scholarships
* Less likely to be the victim of a violent crime
* Jobs are less dangerous
* Lower risk of suicide, depression, and substance abuse
* Longer life expectancy
* If convicted of a crime, will receive a fraction of the sentence a man would receive
* Vastly greater treatment in divorce proceedings

Oh, and don't forget women-only movie screenings.

In the modern US, women are much more privileged than men are though

Just because you have self-confidence issues, that doesn't mean this is reality.

Really!? Anyone who is "outraged" by this stupidity really needs to evaluate why something so meaningless evokes such strong feelings in them.

Lmao at someone comparing this guy to Rosa Parks. I don't particularly care about this either way tbh. I hope he doesn't try and troll irl though. I imagine he'll get kicked out quick

CrimsonRage posted...

I just wanted to point out why the Rosa Parks comparison didn't work. Blacks were actively discriminated against and disadvantaged. You can't compare a black woman asserting her right for equal treatment to a man butthurt he can't attend one woman-only event in one theatre.

oddly enough, you CAN compare the treatment of blacks vs whites in our criminal justice system to the treatment of men vs women.

i only bring this up since manocheese mentioned it

women are treated approximately twice as well relative to men, as whites are relative to blacks, when you adjust for confounding background data.

http://repository.law.umich.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1164&context=law_econ_current

i do find it interesting that after the long drive to wipe out most men-only clubs and venues, people act defensive of women-only events. they are doing what the troll wanted. his actions are pretty clearly intended to provoke a reaction and then call hypocrisy.

but really the idea of a de-jure gender exclusive event is very old fashioned. what we have nowadays are de-facto one-gender events focused on gender-typical interests where people of the other gender are allowed, but rare, and those who'd go are not likely to be an issue.

Holding specific, advertised events for a specific group of people is perfectly acceptable. The guy's a dick.

Except for reasons defined in the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Whoops.

I applaud him.

When businesses and other institutions participate in "progressive" forms of segregation, they re-legitimize all forms of segregation, which people fought, bled, and died to put an end to in the past. Public policy evolves to adapt to changes in the status quo, regardless of what it may be.

They can just refund his money and ban his ass from their establishment.

It's not like they were only offering women-only showings.

Seems like the kind of dude who would got pissed when he wasn't invited to girls' slumber parties.

I wonder how many bars this guy has crashed into on Ladies' Night without paying the cover charge. >_>

Alienating and not being able to go to a few select showings of a movie don't match definitions.

Holding a women's only screening is stupid, but this guy is obviously just a shit-stirring asshole. Like someone said above, the theater will likely refund his ticket if he shows up.

Go to Maine, Montana or Utah.

And also, in case you don't realize, it's not an apt comparison to compare a minority only event to a majority only event. "OH WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF THE POOR WHITE MEN" How do you people dress yourselves.

Man, the people justifying his actions in this topic have stupid arguments.

Whenever they feel like it.

The argument is simple: having a "Women's Only" event goes directly against the Civil Rights Act of 1964

It's one thing to have events that are meant for women, but when you go on social media and announce far and wide that you are having a Women's Only event, you better expect people to go against that.

Tbh, who would want to go to a white only screening?

The crowd would be 1 third yuppies who did it to be ironic or "funny".
One third people going just to stick it to PC culture, not because they gave a shit about whiteness
And one third skinheads.
