"You got some scissors?" Student confronts another student about dreadlocks

[Aella_]

I don't know what they're all about in the US, but there are definitely quite a few show-stoppers around here.
Any beach you go to - you see at least five surfers with dreadlocks. They're quite laidback and easy on the eyes.

Keep yo gay fantasys to yoself paki fag. Nobody gives fucks what Ya say. Dig?

This encounter is fake, by the way. Move on. There's nothing to see here.

Since when did that make it ok for women to assault men?

If that's what it takes to stop men from assaulting, raping, and murdering women, well, so be it. If there's shit in the punch bowl, the fact that there's too much sugar in it is irrelevant. What men do is the shit, what women do is the sugar.

When one man acts in a misogynistic manner, it affects all men. It makes all men look bad. When one man leaves his wife and children, kills his wife, commits rape, beats his girlfriend, molests a child, it makes all men look like criminals. The same isn't true when a woman assaults a man. Is it a double standard? Sure. But it's a double standard that exists because only a small fraction of these crimes are committed by women. Women get the benefit of the doubt as a gender. Men do not.

So yes, when a woman assaults a man, it's hard to give a fuck. But when a man does it, it makes all men look like criminals, and it makes me look like a criminal. This is why I excuse what she did, whether the story is real or not, and why I would call for his head if it were a man.

Reading once again the inane rantings of an obviously successful product of the collective USSA's socialist education system, it simply makes this observer that more appreciative of the great contributions to America of Misters Horace Smith & Daniel B. Wesson.

 

[MrRandyWatson]

I don't like what you say, so you should be shot!

Welcome to the new totalitarian United Corporations of America.

...

Dude, you just got finished ranting like a totally guilt-filled imbecile about how all are collectively guilty of the action(s) of one.

You should consider being shot for your treason against individual liberty as a godsend to end your epidemic inanity just as much as the world should consider such righteous justice to be a blessing to all humanity who naturally long to live free of such tyrannical vermin as yourself.

Back in the 1960s early Beatles era, there was a television debate about victimisation of young men with long hair. The person being interviewed is David Bowie.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5zxeLwUSdk

Once The Beatles became popular, the debate became an antique of social history. When major footballers grew their hair, longer hair became fashionable for men.

During the 1950s almost all young me had short back and sides. They had to became National Service in the UK's forces was compulsory. Longer hair was a reaction to that.

Lots of hippy chicks with dreads. Everyone's hair naturally forms dreads if left alone. Kinky hair easier than straight. I wonder how she would feel about a black girl who straightens her hair. Lots do. Would native N. Americans get on punks about mohawks? Actually Iroquois I think. Should we stop referring to it as a mohawk?

I'm usually against appropriating another's culture for cheap thrills and or profit. Washington Redskins? How about Louisiana Blackskins (or where ever blacks form a large part of population).

I bet many a Viking had dreads.

Are Bo Derrick's cornrows now a sign of cultural misappropriation.

Can be taken to far, as in her reaction. Although I can see her point though. But in this case going a bit overboard.

I thought she might have a more legit concern over his 'strut' or whatever they call that funny walk. That's pure rap ghetto culture. The baggy pants down around knees and oversized brim caps. And lots of bling. Looking like Flavour (?).

Rap is black culture. Actually a form of folk music technically. Even if Blondie had some commercial success early on with it.

Being shot for what you say is the exact antithesis of individual liberty. You are nothing more than a typical American right-wing hypocrite who touts freedom while belting out support for what resembles totalitarianism.

And for the record, you are mistaking anger for guilt. I don't feel guilt over men harming women. I feel anger. And rightfully so because it reflects poorly on me. And if you don't think people are held responsible for the actions of others, well, you don't read the news.

 

[Sean Renaud]

Except black women straighten their hair because being white is synonymous with being professional. Whether or not they like it is kind of beside the point. And don't get me wrong, this bitch is insane and you should do what you want with your hair because you want and that should be the end of it all.

No that's not what it takes.

Assault is wrong, illegal and any victim of it has a right to defend themselves.

Actually women commit acts of violence at the same rates as men, so you're not only sexist but you're full of fuckin' shit.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Lmao I only saw it now. True… Typical teenage confrontation :


""You're saying that I can't have a hair style because of your culture? Why?" the man said.
"Because it's my culture," she said.

The man tells her that dreadlocks were part of Egyptian culture and asks her, "Are you Egyptian? Nah, man, you're not." She asked him if he was Egyptian, and he told her no.

"Wait, where's Egypt?" she asked. "Tell me."

He responded: "You know what, girl ... you have no right to tell me what I cannot wear."

The appropriate response is, "when you straighten your hair, you are appropriating my culture, so go back to your cultural norm; lead by example."

You are the dominate culture in America and punish people for not being like you. There is an entire party who spend absurd amounts of information saying that anybody here has to act, look and worship like you do.

 

[Libsam]

Women get the benefit of the doubt as a gender. Men do not.

That's sexists!
The whole point of feminism is for women to be treated like men.
Gender is a social construct.

You must be the alt of a liberal poster. Not bad...B+.

 

[LJ_Reloaded]

Not in the least. Self defense is not going out and deliberately taking rights from women and trying to shame them into not reporting cases. SORRY.

Nobody's trying to take rights away from women. But you on the other hand are trying to counter your long history on here of white knight chivalry on here by suddenly turning and saying you'd knock a woman down for fucking with your cell phone camera. You're a phoney.

And I've never been in a situation where hitting a woman was appropriate. A little bit of martial arts has mad it where it's rarely been appropriate for men.

If a woman hit you you'd "take it like a man" because anything else would be misogynistic in your ignorant little world.

 

[Disgustipated]

The best part of this thread is that LT always claims he's had Rory on iggy for years.

 

[Sean Renaud]

Except you trying to make them afraid to come forward when attacked. You can call me a White Knight if you please, I know that's what you call common courtesy. It's no different than when Ishy calls me a Social Justice Warrior. I swear you guys should start a club and it begins with, you know your the bad guy when. When you're enemies are the valiant white nights and the saintly social justice warriors. You're a black hat with a curleh mustache.

I might take it like a man, depends on her size, weight, training and all that other shit that factors in. If she could actually hurt me I wouldn't. Just like I wouldn't hit a man who was smaller or weaker than me unless absolutely forced. You, you just look for excuses to start shit with people.

Jewish girls have to straighten their hair to be considered professional too.

You keep repeating this lie. It doesn't make you right, it makes you a liar.

Nah, son, you're just being a phony.

 

[Sean Renaud]

Nobody who has read any of your posts on rape thinks it's a lie. We all know it's the stone cold truth.

 

[richard_daily]

Appropriating black culture...

How do y'all feel about trannies appropriating female bodies or vice versa?

"trannies" are female bodied.

Take a fucking class or something.

No one's arguing that it isn't. At least no one with sense. However, there's a difference between prescribing something (asking people not to act like dipshits) and describing reality. If men want the benefit of the doubt, they need to up their game.
