Anonymous asked: I love your blog so much; all these solid sources are helping me write my report on "the distortion of social justice in popular social media". thank you <3
Yesterday a 17 year female, who attends Lancaster High School in California, was beaten by a football player, on school grounds, for being gay. After receiving over a dozen blows to her jaw, head, eye and head, all he received was a 5 day suspension by the Lancaster School District. She suffered from a fractured jaw and multiple concussions to the head and the Deputy Sheriff advised her mother to re-think her wanting to file charges against the football player because her daughter pushed him back. The school ended up documenting “assault” charges on the victims school file, NOT the football players!!! To make things worse, the Deputy Sheriff warned the victim, by saying, “Just so you know, if you file charges against him, I’m taking his side.” We’re attempting to raise awareness and bring this story to light because Lancaster High School is trying to sweep this “Hate Crime” under the rug!
The scuffle began shortly after noon when a student let someone cut in line. The 14-year-old boy told the girl she shouldn’t do that. After words were exchanged, her friend, a 17-year-old girl, pushed the young boy backwards causing him to fall over the railing, said Deputy Michael Rust.
Another student stopped his fall. Suddenly the two girls began to punch the younger student. The girl who pushed the boy was dressed as and appeared to be a boy and was more than 20 pounds heavier than the young boy, Rust said.
The young boy defended himself and fought back, thinking he had been attacked by another boy. After a couple of punches were thrown, the school security arrived and stopped the fight. The school’s deputy from the Lancaster Sheriff’s Station cited the two students and released them into the custody of their parents, Rust said.
“After he found out that it was a girl, he was very remorseful,” Rust said.
Deputies are still interviewing the 40 students who witnessed the scuffle. However, so far all have agreed on what happened, Rust said.
Meanwhile, a flurry of false statements about what happened by people who live as far away as Kansas have bombarded the internet. The school, the sheriff’s station and local news media have been flooded with calls from people asking if the postings on Facebook and other social media sites are accurate.
The young man has received several threats against his life from people who have read the inaccurate statements and are unaware of the facts.
A poor kid got death threats for getting his ass kicked by two much older girls for complaining about cutting in line.
If it was a girl you’d be loosing your fucking minds.
Get on it.
this fucking website
Note that even though this kid got jumped by TWO girls and basically got the shit kicked out of him, he STILL FELT BAD for defending himself because he hit a girl.
“HUR DUR muh society teaches men it’s ok to hit women hurr duuuuuurrrrrrrrrrr”
Oh look, someone who has never grown up as a male, assuming how males grow up. That we don’t get told the same thing. you’ll fit right into to tumblr.
“man up”
“men don’t cry”
“be a man”
“that’s not manly”
“get muscles”
“eat meat”
“play with action figures instead”
“be loud”
“No hitting girls ”(but not boys)
“be tough”
“men protect girls even at the cost of their lives” (check like…any action children’s movie or…adult movie)
“It isn’t manly to do that.”
“boys are dirty”
“snips, snails, and puppy dog tails”
“boys are stupid”
And it is even worse if you are gay growing up and your parents don’t approve (like most gay people growing up over the past 20 years in the US)
“no cooking, that isn’t manly”
“you need guy friends”
“go to the gym”
“be sure to work hard enough to support two people. you might get married someday”
“go hit on girls”
“pay for meals for girls”
“that’s what boys are supposed to do”
Maybe shut your biased one-sided mouth and stop spreading misinformation. This kind of thing is why the struggles of men are joked about and not taken seriously. Men must lead perfect lives and thus have nothing to worry about. We don’t worry about men who are overweight because they must not have any struggles from that. We don’t need to help the majority of depression victims because they’re men. We don’t need to help the majority of violence victims because they’re men. We can just laugh a man getting his penis cut off and put into a garbage disposal. It’s only a man.
I grew up being told what it is to be a man every step through my life. I was told that men have muscles, eat a lot, and get dirty. In most of the books I read and kids movies I watched, I was told that I need to risk my life for women. “women and children first”, “never hit a woman” (even if she was the one attacking), “protect women” (instead of protect people). I was told that their lives are held more value than mine.
I was told to grow up and find a good job, not for me, but so that I would be found attractive by a girl and so that I could spend money on her to make her happy, but not expecting the same treatment. I was told to date women by picking them up, driving them to a restaurant, paying tons of money on them, buy them a gift, and drop them off. Of course none of the girls that I went to school with were told to do the same thing. ”Because that’s what being a man is.”
I was told that I wasn’t aloud to cook because “it wasn’t manly enough”, even though it’s what I liked to do. Even though I didn’t have any friends and didn’t like going outside, I was forced out because “boys like to run around and get dirty”. I was told that women don’t like flabby men and that I should get thinner (more manly) to attract a woman.
How dare you assume that I as a boy was not constantly told what it is to be a man. How dare you spread that only women get told that.
It’s a horrible thing when influential people spread misinformation like this because more often than not, people will believe you, whether you know what you’re talking about or not.
Exactly! It’s okay to address female issues (especially one’s that are unique to them) but don’t turn a blind eye towards all the shitty expectations that are thrown into men and wave that bullshit, “male privilege” card around.
The only correct answer to that (to me) should be “I don’t know I was raised as X so my knowledge of what it is like to be Y is non-existent or at least missing large parts” .
“Because you’re not in my group, you don’t know what it’s like to be in my group. Because I’m not in your group, I’m a perfectly objective observer of what it’s like to be in your group.”
You do not know who is able to see the kind of posts you make against men. And you do not know the kind of impact you can make on the people who see your posts.
Black men who were easily lynched off by white women saying they hated men. Loving the subtle negligence to mention race dynamics here.
And lol the whole “Kill All Men” mentality is borne from non-men getting sick and tired of the marginalization and discrimination they face at the hands of men. When a non-man says smthn like “kill all men” or “I hate men” it isn’t bc they wanna be petty it’s bc 9/10 times they just finished being harassed or abused by a dude.
Yes, one needs to check their privilege when saying stuff like Kill All Men bc of the implications behind it when considering stuff like race or ability (e.g. White women wanting black men dead, Abled women wanting disabled men dead, etc) but don’t sit their and police how someone deals with their oppression and abuse.
There’s one of you every time. Who tries to justify this.
Also: “Men of marginalized groups”
But I love how all you care about is black men being brought up on this post, not men of any other marginalized race. Some real forward progressive thinking you have there.

Yeah like me, I’m a woman who’s consistently harassed, but I’m not stupid enough to say things that sound like they could come straight out of Mein Kampf if you replaced “men” with “jews”

But notice that:
One, a very small minority of people actually try to justify this kind of bigotry.
Two, Imagine the reverse. Where a man has been getting consistently harassed by a woman or women, and he goes on his blog and goes “Kill all women” is he in the right to express this just because he’s mad at some people? No? What? That would be sexist? Well there’s your answer right there.

I don’t know if you realize this but when you say kill all men, you mean all men. You mean every person who happens to be a man, regardless of how oppressed or marginalized his status is. You want all of them to die. That’s what you perpetuate when you create those posts.
but don’t sit their and police how someone deals with their oppression and abuse.
I am not gonna police you. In fact I’m not even policing you. The point of this post was “Think of the consequences” and you looked at it and said “Pbbbbbbt men should still die lol”
If you looked at that post and got seriously this upset that somebody said that you should think of the consequences before you post something like that and you said, “No I am going to try and justify telling people that they should die.” Then you’re part of the problem.
And your hatred, is not the hatred of non men. Your pathetic hatred here, is your own. You don’t speak for all the other people who hate these posts and like these posts who aren’t men. Because there are a lot of people on this site who genuinely want all men to die off. And the more they see these posts the more they are convinced they are in the right.
