Helen Mirren thinks holding an arm around your girlfriend is sexist - Polidicks

[QUOTE=DanTehMan;48689380]This is a bad example, but this it's pretty obvious she is just mentioning she doesn't like the look of when men lean on women like this, because she views it as disrespectful.

It's almost comical how facepunch needs to cry 'WomEN EVIL femNAZI!!1!'. Also to not know who the Dame Helen Mirren is, is silly.[/QUOTE] Am I too drunk to see satire or is this guy serious?

[QUOTE=jimhowl33t;48689490]I feel that antagonizing SocJus whenever it shows its ugly mug is the exact opposite of a problem. Flip the political spectrum and that fits SJWs to a T. It's kind of funny, in a taste-of-your-own-medicine way. I swear I've already heard that exact same response before. Usually from SocJus-y types suddenly getting all defensive (and a tad butthurt) whenever someone criticizes them ever so slightly. Is there something you want to tell us? That said, I'd rather see that horrid, sociopathic ideology being shat on constantly to the point of absurdity, than let it feel welcome in any way. Bring forth the problematic contents and comments, let loose the hounds of triggering. Suffer not the SocJus to live.[/QUOTE] This is the kind of people you all hang out with. This is the kind of people you are on the "side" of. [QUOTE=opaali;48689670]Am I too drunk to see satire or is this guy serious?[/QUOTE] He's leaning on her like a cane and yeah it looks a bit possessive. Certainly doesn't look comfortable.

But opal, it's not really UP TO YOU or anyone else what people do. What if that girl likes that? Why speak for her or pretend to

[QUOTE=Take_Opal;48689701]This is the kind of people you all hang out with. This is the kind of people you are on the "side" of.[/QUOTE] Care to expand on what you mean by that? Sure the butchered Shakespeare quote wasn't that funny in retrospect, but am I that evil (or wrong) in thinking SocJus is garbage?

[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;48689739]But opal, it's not really UP TO YOU or anyone else what people do. What if that girl likes that? Why speak for her or pretend to[/QUOTE] Of course then. I'm not speaking for her, I'm just explaining what some people see. [editline]15th September 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=jimhowl33t;48689744]Care to expand on what you mean by that? Sure the butchered Shakespeare quote wasn't that funny in retrospect, but am I that evil (or wrong) in thinking SocJus is garbage?[/QUOTE] Your post speaks volumes! No need for me to say more.

At this point, being sexist is a good thing.

[QUOTE=Take_Opal;48689754]Your post speaks volumes! No need for me to say more.[/QUOTE] My post, apart some hyperbole for shits and giggles, speaks against SocJus and the sleazy sociopaths that seem to comprise the bulk of it. Anything against that?

Who even thinks about these things, we have more bigger problems right now than cuddling [editline]16th September 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=Take_Opal;48689701]This is the kind of people you all hang out with.

I guess I'm sexist as fuck for helping this girl I went to date with walk home

I legitimately cannot work out what's funnier. This dumb bullshit; [QUOTE=jimhowl33t;48689490]I feel that antagonizing SocJus whenever it shows its ugly mug is the exact opposite of a problem.[/QUOTE] Or this dumb bullshit; [QUOTE=opaali;48689874]at this point I don't even know what to type. I guess I'm sexist as fuck for helping this girl I went to date with walk home[/QUOTE] It's a tough fucking choice man. One is somebody who genuinely seems to think they're "fighting the good fight" against a super-minority of totally ineffectual people on the Internet that the real world largely doesn't know exists. And the other has managed to spin somebodies personal opinion on a matter that wasn't even calling for their execution to such a degree that they think they can play the victim. The "anti-socjus" shit is getting fucking silly now. You are the victims of nothing, fighting against nothing using totally useless tactics like insulting the strawmen you've built. Take a step back from the keyboard, think about what you're doing for a bit and come back with some actual understanding of just what you think you're fighting, because it's not what you think it is.

[QUOTE=Take_Opal;48689701] He's leaning on her like a cane and yeah it looks a bit possessive.

Generally intimate human contact is made because it's... pleasant, you know? For both parties?

I really, doubt she's just upset with [I]anybody[/I] doing this. I have definitely seen some guys wrapping their arm around their girlfriend like he's clutching a bag of groceries before. It looked uncomfortable, but if she was okay with it who cares? And intimate human contact is definitely not always made because it's pleasant for both parties.

[QUOTE=opaali;48689874]Who even thinks about these things, we have more bigger problems right now than cuddling[/QUOTE] seems like it was most likely an offhand remark in a magazine that was then turned into a ranting opinion piece in the blog section of a tabloid rag. so i guess blame Martin Daubney, author of such Daily Telegraph classics as "is feminism destroying the institution of marriage," "feminist porn: will men ever buy it?" and "chivalry is dead and feminism is to blame"

Why do you think there is no matter of conditions when it comes to these things? Of course there are.

On a forum that the people you'd probably call SJWs don't even use. Oh you showed them. If they do exist (in any meaningful manner at least), they sure as shit aren't worth "fighting" against because nobody in the real world actually knows any of the so-called "prominent SJWs" and the ones on the Internet aren't going to have the heft to do anything. Wasted effort that could be better spent posting well, masturbating or playing video games.

Maybe I'm wrong? I mean, certainly if a woman doesn't want a guy wrapping his arm around her she had every right to say so but I can't see any harm in the action itself. [QUOTE=Take_Opal;48690017]And intimate human contact is definitely not always made because it's pleasant for both parties.[/QUOTE] Of course it isn't always made because it's pleasant for both parties. But I didn't say always, I said generally, and I was speaking in the context of intimate romantic relationships.

The funniest part about these threads is that if the so called "true" feminists just came in and said, "yeah, that's dumb," and left, then the thread would die in a few hours. Instead they come in, start arguments, and then complain about why people care so much. If you know me at all, then you'll know that I enjoy good arguments, but I also don't go out of my way to complain when people argue against me. An example might be something like this: [QUOTE]The "anti-socjus" shit is getting fucking silly now. You are the victims of nothing, fighting against nothing using totally useless tactics like insulting the strawmen you've built. Take a step back from the keyboard, think about what you're doing for a bit and come back with some actual understanding of just what you think you're fighting, because it's not what you think it is.[/QUOTE] If you don't want people to respond, then don't call them out on their beliefs.

Boy this bitch is dumb.. My girlfriend likes to put her arm around me sometimes too. It's not about ownership we just like each other. Impossible concept to grasp, right?

I'd really advise going the antiSocJus path. Trust me, when you think of anti-social justice, what figures come to mind? You'll find yourself with strange bedfellows before you know it.

May as well call everything "sexist" these days :v: Idiots.

[QUOTE]Icky SocJus Figures of Today & Yesterday: Malala Yousafzai, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Martin Luther King, Susan B Anthony, Frederick Douglas, Nina Simone.[/QUOTE] Ppppfffffhhhahahahahaha. Fucking seriously. If you really believe those are anything close to SJWs you might need to consider switching to different drugs. SocJus may claim to support some of the ideals as the people you mentioned, but it doesn't change that to this day, as a movement and as a set of ideals, it's mostly comprised of [QUOTE]whiny, bleeding heart liberal teenagers on Tumblr and rich, out of touch celeberities[/QUOTE] ...and a whole lot of downright horrifying lumps of human trash. Do you want me to name someone who would oppose today's SocJus? Hell look no further than MLK himself. He believed in judging people by their actions and not by their skin color, a notion that SJWs now find "problematic". He dreamed of a future where white and black kids would not be separated, and now SJWs argue in support of race segregated classrooms and other similar shit under the guise of "safe spaces". In all honesty, I don't think you've got any idea about the people you're defending so strongly. SocJus today is one of the most hypocritical, racist, sexist, absolutely bat shit movements I've ever seen. If there's one thing they're known for, is doing their best to destroy the lives of anyone who disagrees with them, even if they happen to be the minorities they claim to love and support so much. Should you claim it's just a loud fraction of it pulling the shit we've all seen, then the rest of it isn't doing jack shit to stop them. Is it tacit approval? Is it fear of retribution from the more radical members? In any case, the entire ideology feels rotten to the core. Fuck them and everything they stand for. [editline]16th September 2015[/editline] And before you start whining about how "th-they stand for acceptance and equality guys believe me", no. They don't.

Death to SocJus(tm)
