And I don't think that the whole year of the woman thing, I wonder if they haven't bit off more than they can chew on that. Because I think it could easily as well turn out to be the year of the man who feel like the target is on their back all the time, and it is not fair to just make one allegation and say your life should be turned upside down. I don't think that's fair to victims, and I don't think that's fair to the accused.

Now I'm confused. Laura Ingraham says that men are the true victims here. But Tucker Carlson says that white people are the true victims here.

Which one is it?

[JI7]

1. white men

[Awsi Dooger]

5. Go Fund Me

One for each white male

[KentuckyWoman]

15. Laura Ingraham can Go Fund herself

27. Nice. n/t

2. Nevermind All That Rapey Stuff Right Laura?

You ever had to fight for your life Laura?

Didn't think so.....

Real men won't have a problem with any of this.

The brainwashed lemmings that watch you, well that is another matter.

[Squinch]

10. She was probably from the clique who said of their rapey boyfriends, "Yes, but at the end of the

day, he asked ME to prom!"

3. I think it's the Year of the Young

I know we talk a lot on the board about the value of our older representatives. (They have value . And I'm not young, myself!

But the energy to defeat these old ideas, and some of these old folks, will come - imo - from the 'next' generation. The young adults I talk to are aghast. They can't believe this crap.

The blue wave that comes, will be swept by the energy and excitement of the next generation. They're here and they're ready

[still_one]

9. It isn't ONE demographic, but the whole spectrum of folks of different races, ages, sexes, etc.

That blue wave will be led by ALL those demographics, and the marches, call banking, knocking on doors have demonstrated that. In fact in some of those events I witnessed more older age groups.

With the assistance of the lies and con job of the Jill Steins, Susan Sarandons, etc. they conned just enough naive folks to believe the false equivalency and lies that there was no difference between the Democratic party and the republicans

In those critical swing states in 2016 the Democratic nominee lost by less than 1%, while Jill Stein received 1% of the vote.


In those same critical swings every Democrat running for Senate lost to the establishment, incumbent, republican, and those Democrats were progressive by any standard.


In 2016, 47% didn't even bother to vote

[still_one]

4. for sexists, racists, and bigots, it is all the same

[beachbum bob]

6. obvious its whitre males are the victims, after all they are forced to commit rape and sexual abuses

didn't you get the memo to go out an d rape and pillage?

[Freddie]

7. Every year is the "year of the man"

Every day. They’re so used to being privileged they don’t even realize it.
Once when I was a kid, after Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, I asked Mom why there is no Children’s Day, and of course her response was “every day is Children’s Day.” And every single day is Men’s Day.

8. "C'mon guys. Let's hoist a few to celebrate ourselves." - K-man (R)

[bucolic_frolic]

13. I seen that guy!

Kavanaugh Man

[FailureToCommunicate]

19. "MMMMmmm beer!" "I like beer" "Don't YOU like beer Senator?"

[TwistOneUp]

23. Is the guy a potential Supreme Court justice?

Or is the guy Homer Simpson?

"Mmm... Beer. I like beer. Marge, get over here right Now!"

Just what we need on da SC: a sloppy, "violence-is-fun!" drunk frat boy.

[Roland99]

11. She couldn't be more wrong and I honestly don't get the submission to patriarchy

[bucolic_frolic]

12. It's a Hail Mary pass for November 6

white men. But to get them to feel like victims again is a tall order. They're all have jobs and guns already.

[pdsimdars]

14. You actually listen to her??? and then think anything she says makes sense???

Change channels and never listen to her again.

[KentuckyWoman]

16. The men Laura is worried over would never be stupid enough to listen to a WOMAN.

[rzemanfl]

28. You are on a roll this morning! n/t

[vlyons]

17. I am proud that I've never listened to her bullshit

Arrogant self-righteous assholes add no value for me. A complete waste of my time.

[watoos]

18. Hey, maybe Roger Ailes and Bill O never hit on her,

so she doesn't realize that she is working in a cesspool.

[Bob Loblaw]

20. Is she advocating for that?

Is she an upset white man? Is she tired of women trying to be heard? Does she think she should be at home doing housework? Is she a self loathing person feeling ashamed and unworthy of her success? Or was she lamenting what she thought might be a backlash?

[dlk]

21. Another Example of: "When One is Accustomed to Privilege, Equality Feels Like Discrimination"

The patriarchy has no intention of releasing or even loosening it's iron grip on control. Partisan hacks like Ingram, a Kavanaugh crony, don't have a clue, nor want one.

[ananda]

22. Lol

Reeps really like playing the victim card,
especially after they have done something
particularly predatory and bully-ish.

[TheCowsCameHome]

24. No man could get drunk enough to come on to her.

She's a frustrated old bag.

[turbinetree]

25. Well Vanilla Queen #2 only you would come up with gibberish

here let me remind you what democracy looks like ....................and you always trot out your Phyllis Schlafly right wing bull shit.............................I guess you haven't been keeping up with current events........................

[kacekwl]

26. Both, and they love hearing it

while watching faux news and falling asleep in the recliner knowing they are still king for another day. Faux tells them so and the women hating racist white president does too. Fat , drunk and stupid is no way to go through life son.

29. "I'm a single white male from South Carolina, and I will not shut up."

Lindsey Graham, Brett Kavanaugh, and the unleashing of white male backlash
“I’m a single white male from South Carolina, and I’m told I should just shut up, but I will not shut up.”
By Zack Beauchamp@[e-mail] Sep 28, 2018, 12:20pm EDT

The specific language that he used — “I’m a single white male from South Carolina, and I’m told I’m just supposed to shut up” — is a direct reference to one of the core arguments used by feminists and social justice activists: that white men in positions of privilege don’t have direct experiences with hostile sexism or racism, and should listen to the people who have.

Graham is saying he cannot, and will not, listen: He will vote for Kavanaugh regardless of what Ford said, and will defend him in the face of any criticism about the gender and power dynamics at work.

“I will not shut up” is a perfect mantra for Trumpian backlash politics. There is no risk that white men are, en masse, going to be silenced: They occupy the commanding heights of power in every walk of American life. The demands that they be quiet at times are a response to the overrepresentation of their voices, that they understand what life is like for more vulnerable people and then change the way they act accordingly.

But Graham is not willing to give even that little ground. His rage on this point, one shared by Trump’s base, has been palpable throughout this process. During Thursday’s hearing, he interrupted Rachel Mitchell, the sex crimes prosecutor that Republicans had deputized to ask questions during the hearing, to deliver a furious rant in defense of Kavanaugh.

“To my Republican colleagues, if you vote no, you’re legitimizing the most despicable thing I have seen in my time in politics,” Graham said during Thursday’s hearing.

30. I love it when women call other women "they."

People who gravitate toward the right always think they’re the exception, the correct, the better. That they’re not subject to the things others are. Why help “them” out? And they always find out different.
