When the news hit about the murder spree in Atlanta I told Brent I was waiting to see if it was a racist or an incel. Because it wasn't just that it was Asian owned businesses that were hit, it was a certain type of business that was hit. Turns out it wasn't an incel, but I was close.
Seems he had used the businesses in the past and then when he decided he felt too guilty about it the only logical thing to do was to remove the temptation by slaughtering the women who worked there. Instead of, oh I don't know, just stop going?
The Southern Baptist church he attended and was active with removed their social media presence when they realized a member of their flock was the killer. And he was featured on their website. But they aren't in the clear. Taking down their media doesn't change the message they drilled into his head from the time he was a young child. That he wasn't responsible for his own sexual urges. That it was up to women around him to be godly and modest and say no and all of the bullshit that the patriarchy pushes on church going women.
I've talked about it before. That it was drilled into my head from before puberty. It was my responsibility to make sure that I was "pure" and that I didn't do anything to inflame the lust in the boys. That they were somehow off the hook for their own desires and practices. And you get that message long enough you believe it. He couldn't help himself if they were out there, so he killed them. Problem solved.
My friends in the UK have been posting about Sarah Everard. She was kidnapped and killed by a police officer. The discussion has featured an awful lot of talk about how she shouldn't have been out walking by herself at night. And what was she wearing? Was she able to run? Did she fight? And again, why was she out after dark?
Well, because the sun had set and she needed to get home.
But it's not safe for women to do that. We all know it. And it gets reinforced by not only the murdering bastard but by the talk around it that somehow because we all know it we should all accept it. He can't possibly be in control of his murdering urges if she is just out there. Walking. Like she has any right to do that!
Tucker Carlson spent something like 5 minutes talking about Cardi B's and Megan Thee Stallion's performance on the Grammys. Ben Shapiro did multiple shows about WAP when the song and video first came out. Won't someone please think of the children! Well, I didn't watch the Grammys but I've been told in multiple articles about them that Trevor Noah did give a "hey not for kids" warning before their performance. And as a parent you should be paying attention to what your kids are listening to, though I'm not as worried about WAP as I am the violent content in games that they are exposed to. Just my thing. Poor C always had to pass his dad's review on sexual content and mine on violence and he never got to play anything.
With Tucker I guess he kept showing clips from the performance. Now, just my take, but if you are so deeply offended by it and think people shouldn't be watching it why are you showing it? Sounds like the Hyenas shuddering with fear when they hear "Mufasa" then saying...Do it again!
And poor Ben. He had his wife confirm that nobody gets that wet over sex. It's just not a thing. Aww...Ben, buddy, sorry. But more so poor Dr. Shapiro. I mean, you know she knows that's not true but still says it to make him feel better about his complete lack of sexual appeal. Because women are the ones responsible, right?
Here is a great idea. People need to learn to keep their hands to themselves. If you aren't asked to touch someone, then don't. Especially no murdering. I mean that seems really easy, right? Don't kill anyone. And if you don't want to watch Cardi B work a pole, then don't watch her performances. And if you don't like massage parlors with happy endings, don't use them. Do that instead of slaughtering the people who work there. Keep your fucking hands to yourself.
Stop judging women as guilty for walking home in the dark.
For working a job you might not approve of.
For not being ashamed of her sexuality but proud of it and knowing that there are people out there who do want to watch her dance suggestively and scantily clad. Because she's hot. And that's okay.
We need to make women's sexuality normal instead of making killing them normal.
We need to make it okay to understand that not everyone is as comfortable with sex as others but that means the uncomfortable one listens to the "not for the kids" warning and understands that a song called Wet Ass Pussy might be a bit much for them.
Stop putting all of the responsibility on women for men's behavior.
Just keep your fucking hands to yourself.
