Will FreeRepublic Finally Stop Posts Equating Guilt or Innocence with (Females') Looks???

Posted on 11/11/2014 12:44:00 AM PST by Secret Agent Man

The Cranberries prior posting about the gal singer who assaulted the flight attendant and cop was the last stupid straw about posting about guilt based on looks. (Note I am not a big Cranberries fan, I have no dog in this particular hunt - it's just an example.)

I am not against posts that discuss a person's looks per se. Particularly if it factors into the issue being discussed. If it's relevant, it's relevant.

What I am objecting to are the stupid inane posts that add nothing of value to the thread and detract from the reputation of this site as being a far better place than any liberal discussion site out there.

I am just so flipping tired of idiots claiming to be conservatives posting comments of absolutely zero value about the guilt or innocence of - almost always - a female person, based solely on her looks.

It's stupid. After being done a billion times, it's not even funny. Why so-called conservatives here think this is appropriate every time a female is in a news story that has potential criminal/illegal actions, what it really is is just tiresome. It adds nothing substantive to the thread. It makes the image of this place look crass.

And it makes light of actual crimes committed by people based on if they have breasts and vaginas. And it's entirely one way. Note we do not have thousands of post replies over the years discussing the guilt or innocence of male criminals based on how good looking they are. The female conservatives here (and the pervy guys who post all the time about females) have somehow restrained themselves from any posts of this kind, yet they cannot help themselves to go this way when there's a legal controversy with a female. Then it's find a photo, and let the idiotic guilt or innocence comment postings commence.

Can we just try to keep it classy here? Do we always have to devolve to appeal to the lowest common denominator of gutter humor here when women make the news for bad behavior/crimes? Don;t we have better standards as conservatives? Having a sense of humor is important, but why is it funny that a woman is innocent or guilty because of her looks? What makes this funny? Because ugly women deserve to be locked up? Because hot women can always get out of crimes or bad behavior and ugly women can't? This is the funny stereotype these comments are playing off of?

And when the crimes are sexual crimes, as they often are, in the articles these comments surface in, why should this be made fun of? Because there aren't any negative consequences that occur to a young boy or girl when an adult female decides to satisfy their sexual urges with usually an underage boy or girl? The same stuff isn't treated lightly or humorously when an adult male does it, in fact death threat statements and the like are posted. But it's all fun and games and smart-ass humor when a woman does it.

What makes it wrong is conservatives ought to know better. They do know that there are negative consequences to teens who have sex with adults, BOTH men and women. It's not victimless only if a woman does it. It screws up their viewpoint of sex and male-female relationships. In both cases these posters KNOW that it's wrong to have an adult authority figure having sex with kids they are in positions of overseeing. It's wrong for male and female adults to look at students as potential personal sexual conquests.

This is sick behavior for a site supposedly made up of conservatives.

BTW, has Lillian called yet?

She is already here. I have successfully undone much of your training and she now eats BBQ, smokes cigarettes and is sipping a fine double malt as I type. Tomorrow we'll work on her homemaking skilz.

You have improved upon perfection.

As long as she fits her bikini when I come visit you, I’m good with all that.

Since she has agreed to wear only finger-painted apparel from now on it should fit just fine.

Regarding Catharine of Aragon, Thomas More said, “There were few women who could compete with the Queen in her prime.”

In answer to the question you posed in the title of your thread I would suggest this as a probable answer:

Not any time soon.

Don’t be too rough, now—she’s only used to MY fingers.

Oh, and she has a thing for turquoise.

You can thank me later. ;)

That is one of my favorites.

And I find it’s often true.

Last night they were disappearing so fast that I opened two tabs just so I could catch the action before it vanished.

In a few cases they were up for less than a minute.

I explained the whole kerfuffle last night to my wife. Her brows furled and she said, you got to be F’in kidding me. This man doesn’t have teenage boys. They would F a rodent if u let them. It is the mothers job to see your house is rodent free. And these women? How immature can a woman be? It’s hell with dealing with you men as adults. Any woman that likes dealing with you as your hormones are raging has serious issues.

She added, lock them both up. Boy and woman did bad. Boy needs to learn to control his hormones, and so apparently do these teachers.

She did burst out laughing about Laz’s comment about going commando.

I was opening two tabs as well.

I am reading innocuous posts and the next second they are removed.

Surreal.

Then later almost all of them were magically restored.

I mean after all - a Spork Weasel?

Maybe we’re all being messed with and don’t know it.

A social experiment.
