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.

The poster is correct.

These "guilty / not guilty" things are nothing but IN BEFORE THE valuable material, wastes of space, meaningless comments on how somebody thinks somebody else looks, a sad commentary on the devolution of FR as it was even 10 years ago (when more thought went into "the first 50" posts,)

and frankly bizarrely sexist to boot:

Bizarre because just because a woman looks more or less like a "Cosmo" girl doesn't make her prettier to everyone...

Except maybe men who never found beauty in a woman for themselves? Men who need to have notions of beauty fed to them by the MSM?

Bizarre because as conservatives we're better than drunk freshman frat humor about women... Again and again GUILTY! Again and again NOT GUILTY! Every time a picture of a woman is posted.

No, it's not "just like" Huge Manatee, etc. It's just plain ridiculous.

It's sexist, stupid, meaningless, easy, and a waste of space.

I am 100% with the poster and have said it many times.

GOLUX

MALE.

"I can tell you are old or ignorant by your usage of the word faggot"

I personally tend to use "queer." Is that offensive and unPC? Should I adopt the use of "gay" to avoid hurting the queers' feelings?

".....no one is seriously suggesting female criminals should go unpunished because of their looks."

Exactly.

In fact, There are some of us who think that those special ladies who rate a "Not Guilty" should be punished nonetheless.

Decorum and a strict sense of propriety prohibits my detailing said punishment, but let's just say that there's leather involved.

You forgot to add that it is politically incorrect, and as Freepers we must be 100% politically correct 100% of the time.

That post epitomizes the very thing Secret Agent Man is talking about. Being raped is not the same thing as “getting laid”. And that’s the problem with what people have the liberty to do and think is just fun or maybe even think ridicules the stupidity of the modern mentality: somebody is going to misunderstand and think that an adult woman raping an adolescent boy is really a fantasy come true.

Rape is about power, not about sex.

People are free to joke, but it’s really sad if they can’t figure that out. After all - wasn’t Mohammad doing the 8-year-old “bride” a favor by giving her sex?

“I can tell you are old or ignorant by your usage of the word faggot”

Old? What are you 16? “Faggot” has been around since your parents used the word. The only people against the use of the word are the homosexuals.

I'm so unfortunate, I cannot even afford the extra 'A' to get my name spelled right when you ping me.
