One time when I said flirting and harassment shouldn’t be confused with each other, and I was then told by a liberal male that clearly I was willing to let men do anything to me....

That is very much how liberal men view and treat women they perceive to be “conservative.” You are no longer human. No longer a woman. No longer worthy of even basic respect. And the cretins actually think they’re “helping” women by doing this.

No, not all liberal men. But enough to ensure I will never vote Democrat again.

Welp, the right's gone and done it again.

Everytime a movement is born where they feel threatened, attacked, or are being censored, they always have to start up a counter-movement in retaliation.

Like after Black Lives Matter was born because too many innocent black people were being murdered at the hands of arrogant, racist cops who abuse their authority, they started Blue Lives Matter, because they said it was the police who were the reveal victims for just doing their jobs.

Well, like before, in response to the MeToo Movement, they've now started the HimToo Movement: because they say men are the real victims, and that women are ruining their lives by forcing them into sexual situations with seduction (like, y'know, what they wear, how they act or talk, etc.) then crying victim when the men act on their natural instincts to rape them.

You know what I can't wait for? The right is big into fascism, and the left is big into socialism . . . when is the right going to start ANTISOC in response to ANTIFA?

Not trying to ignore your point as a whole, but I do need to respond to the idea that innocent black people are being murdered by police in epidemic proportions. The actual numbers do not support this.

In 2017 there were 987 recorded police shootings that resulted in death. 223 of them were black, 458 were white. So, we already have more white people having been killed than black people by police, which would more or less make sense when looking at population. Of the 223 black people that were shot and killed, 203 of them were armed in some way. To be fair, let's only take out those armed with a gun or knife. That leaves 56 black people shot and killed by police. 20 of those 56 were totally unarmed, 6 had toys guns, 5 are unknown and 25 were "other". So lets take the two extremes, 56 and 20.

In 2017 the black population in the US was 74.5 million. Even if we take the largest number of what some may consider unarmed, such as toy weapons, cases where we don't know, and whatever "other" means, the amount of killings is so small that saying cops are racists murdering black people is woefully unfair.

Even if you don't take out any of the cases of people being armed, 223 is still a statistically small number. But I think it is reasonable to assume that out of 223 cases, at least some of them were justifiable, if not most of them.

I don't think wanting a strong law enforcement is a left/right issue. I consider myself to lean more left than right and I would hope we can all agree we want police protecting the rights of those that abide by the law. I also am not saying racism does not exist in the world. It very clearly does. There are white racists, black racists, racists of every color that dislike or hate other groups simply because of skin color. However, to say that a majority of cops are out murdering black people in the street every day is categorically untrue when you look at actual facts.

There is not a systemic racism that is upheld by the law. There are some people who are truly racist and sometimes those people get into the system. They become cops, lawyers, retail workers, cab drivers, etc. In every profession you will find a small number of racists, regardless of their color. But that does not mean the system supports them and encourages them.

It isn't right that 20 people lost their lives when they are totally unarmed. It's a terrible thing, but I am also thankful that the number is no where near as high as most media and social media would have us believe because it means I don't live in a country where cops are intentionally murdering people without discretion.

But . . . but . . . but, that doesn't fit the ultra-liberals agenda.

I guess you'd fit right in with all those evil right wingers. I mean, Alysso Milano had it coming, right?

Sadly, MeToo only defends women who fit very narrow, specific standards. That is, the ones that will make the left look good and anyone who challenges them bad (whether they're actually on the right or not).

Doesn't matter, I'm not voting anyway. I can't be a part of this evil system anymore.
