    Bigotry is not eliminated by bigotry in the other direction.

      You’re not helping to eliminate bigotry by enabling their hypocrisy, you’re only helping them.

      What you’re not getting, and what you don’t understand, is that they’re not actually accusing the post of bigotry in good faith. They’re doing it only to further the interests of misogynists, and their hypocrisy is the proof. Unless you want us to believe they actually care about what happens to women.

      The motivation of a speaker dictates the context of their statements and therefore the truth value of it.

      This is why we respond by dismissing their accusations – and yours. If you cared about bigotry, it’d be you calling them out. It’d be you telling them what you just told me.

      So for those of you playing at home, what do we do with blatantly hypocritical bigots and abusers, and their enablers? That’s right, we dismiss and ignore them.

        Enabling their hypocracy? It isn’t exactly unfair to call out this kind of joking when a cornerstone of men’s issues is that they often aren’t taken seriously when things like mental health issues arise. They’re often dismissed with jokes or belittled.

        In other words, the person who came in joking failed to read the room and got called out for it. Would you defend someone saying, even facetiously 'bet she’s just saying that for attention ’ in a rape support thread?

            Sounds like you’re working through some personal issues there, champ. Wanna air them out?

            Cry harder, you whiny, enabling, sexist piece of shit.

            you’re sad other dick wielders

            You really expect people to take your opinions to heart and maybe change their minds and agree with you, while speaking to them like this?

            If you’re here to just make yourself feel better, especially if you’ve been hurt, then by all means, continue. We don’t mind the verbage pollution. /s

            However, if you’re here to express ideas and have conversation that may lead to understanding, you’ll need to work on your temper/tone.

            And if you just want to flame me for pointing this out, then continue on, Internet Warrior. Or don’t, you’re not making things any better here if you do.

              Do you think I do or do you think I just enjoy watching sexists clutch their pearls and squeal like piggies when they’re told the truth?

              Maybe you should go outside if you are so angry at me that you’re going to waste your time arguing with someone here laughing at you to make yourself feel better.

                you are so angry at me

                No, not angry. Feeling sorry for you would be the correct emotion.

                Trying to offer you some honest advice, but you’re not in a state of mind to take it.

                I wish you well.

        Oh horseshit, you said you’re cool with making bigoted jokes now that the shoe is on the other foot. Get fucked with the whole righteous indignation spiel.

          Lol die mad misogynist, you want to subjugate women and completely crush them under your heel, then you’re going to get a taste of your own medicine. And you deserve to have the whole bottle shoved down your throat, no sugar, no honey.

          Take your butthurt and multiply it 10,000 times and you will understand a fifth of a third of a quarter of the hell you put women through, even today now, on the regular.

            It’s interesting that criticism enrages you so much. Maybe take some time to touch grass and reflect.

              The projection is very real with you bigots but that’s a given with your ilk at this point.

              I’m sure if you vote for Trump, he’ll force some poor woman out there to be your girlfriend, though. Only hope you will ever have to get any.

                I called you on bullshit, and you’re fantasising about my imagined political ideology, my opinions concerning women, where I live (protip: EU citizens can’t vote in US elections) and my marital status.

                Who’s projecting here?
