The death of all sense of humor -- http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... Saget.html

Don't even joke about a guy joking around by pretending to touch a fully clothed woman's chest....

"Are you mocking Sen. Franken and the victim ? Not cool;'" -- lol... "the victim." I'm the victim of someone not touching me while I was asleep.

"'#MeTooSoon, Bill. Even if the Franken pic is of horseplay it reminds many women - and others - about being mistreated and harassed'" - oh, yes, sorry, now we have to be mindful of whatever might remind someone somewhere about being mistreated.

I can live with that. When I was squatting in the 80s part of the the whole non-conformist ethos was to force others to judge you so you could tell them to fuck off. That's the authentic spirit of punk!

No, it fucking isn't. One person who got pissed off about that demonstrated it by example on TV. For one fucking year.
Yes, it fucking is. It's a common feminist concept that women are body shamed and objectified and that men aren't. There is even the "male tears" component of feminism which says that men can't be hurt by these things in the same way women can because men are the sex in power.
The highlighted part really is not. I just provided an example of that.

Is it somebody's fault? What's "it," in your opinion, and whose fault is it?

Why do you get so riled when women say that they're subjected to discrimination and unfair treatment?

It fucking is, mate. When I were lad we'd just raid the next village and carry off their women as slaves. Just try that now. Fucking snowflakes are ruining the world for us real men.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

When they're subjected to discrimination and unfair treatment, I don't. When a person complains that it's discrimination and unfair treatment for someone else to joke about it, then I take issue.

Why do you think we can't take issue with what some women say sometimes about this topic?

Oh, no, of course not. Men have it so easy, and nothing unfair happens to men.

Catherine Deneuve sticks her neck out to discuss nuance.... https://www.afp.com/en/news/206/french- ... doc-w392z1 - she and her fellow cohorts say that pickups, the odd knee-touch, and attempts to seduce women are not the same thing as sexual harassment. Does she have a point? Is this going too far, and aiding the reactionaries and right wing religious nutters and anti-sex conservatives?

Wait for the "No, Catherine Deneuve, it's not a witch hunt, and you're a rape apologist" article in 3, 2, 1....
