lol i knew of CNN Headline News but was unaware that they'd rebranded that channel as HLN . . . a decade ago. i suspect it will last a good while longer than babe dot net does

according to what we have learned from katie, fourth wave feminism = “you cant sit with us”
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 18 January 2018 06:01 (six years ago) link
more than using "no holds barred" it bothers me that she used it incorrectly - you have a "no holds barred fight" it's not just a synonym for absolutely.
HLN sounds like a home shopping network (and I'm pretty sure that's what I assume it was when scanning cable guide listings)

All of the continued handling of this entire Aziz episode is super upsetting in comparison to what is going on with the gymnastics trial. I didn't know a young woman had committed suicide, another woman had told her parents as a child and was repeatedly denied that it had occurred and was forced to apologize to her assailant. Numerous people were told about him and nothing happened for years and years.

“what about the men” is useful as a macro or micro defense, as this makes plain
― maura, Thursday, 18 January 2018 22:09 (six years ago) link
"what about the men" comes from the same place as "well you know people are racist against whites too"
― omar little, Thursday, 18 January 2018 22:11 (six years ago) link
meaning, as a generalized sentiment coming from a place of privilege whenever the most reprehensible aspects (or any aspects tbh) of the privilege are pushed back against even slightly.
― omar little, Thursday, 18 January 2018 22:12 (six years ago) link
That's why I can't believe people have the nerve to heavily criticize the subject in the Babe article (nevermind the reporting problems) and why she didn't "just leave" all while they are reporting on the Nassar testimonies.
― Yerac, Thursday, 18 January 2018 22:30 (six years ago) link
I am so glad The Root wrote that article "Men Understand Consent Like White America Understands Racism". I got into such a long discussion 2 nights ago with a young black dude who was glibbly victiming shaming that Babe article (it's slander!, like what, she was forced??? emoticon, Aziz just wanted to get some butt, he needs to work on his game) that he was blocked by friends on facebook. He just didn't get why and my friend kept making excuses for him saying he was liberal and a BLM activist. I was like, so? He literally kept making the same arguments that white people do to say they aren't racist and I just couldn't figure out a good way (me as a non-black woman) to point it out.

it is regularly distressing how often men tend not to recognize women as human, yes.

― Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Thursday, 18 January 2018 23:43 (six years ago) link
I tried to give him different perspectives with other articles (one from VSB), on how it was his response (calling her trash) that was problematic and not the actual disagreement of what occurred in the article, and he kept pushing the line that he has a lot of sex and knows a lot of women and it's unfathomable that Grace didn't just leave. She blew him, she didn't fight etc. etc. I lightly tried to bring up race in regards to woc especially being under other pressures of not wanting to report to the police and not wanting to place even more scrutiny on black men etc. He did not take well to that at all. But then I dropped it because I just really knew better than to bring it up since I am not black. I did post that article earlier today directly to our friend (who was his old coach) so hopefully he will take offline time to try to talk to him. But gah, even our friend kept making excuses for him (it's his age, he's a good guy, the other guys who blocked him are just as bad they were just showing off for their gfs, he has a warrior's heart??? (must be a football thing).

I think they would not appeal in order to not have him sit through all the victim testimonies again. Also, every single educational org, public company, non-profit, etc should be required to re-review sexual and provide a report on all sexual assault complaints going back 20 years.
