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

[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.

I’ve never understood this Virgin thingy.....are all Muslim men pedophiles? Muslims men are beyond kinky in their thinking as well as how they treat their live women......do most Muslim women have “Battered person syndrome”??

I think it must have to do with being named “Amy”.

Amy, what you wanna do?
I think I could stay with you
For a while, maybe longer if I do

I just turned on Rush Limbaugh to see what he was talking about. I don’t know what he was referring to, but I heard this: “So men can’t have sex with attractive women. I guess that leaves feminists.”

I guess Rush can be added into the villain category. ;)

Well Rush is the one who said that Feminism was created to give unattractive women easier access to the mainstream of society. (And I do think there is a huge element of truth there)

BOOM

heheheheh

[yellowdoghunter]

You are correct in your analysis.

[humblegunner]

Conservatives are supposed to know how to act, to treat others with respect and not needlessly insult others.

What if it becomes needful or even imperative to insult others?

[justlurking]

Lighten up, Francis.

thanks SgtBob!

Eh. Kind of disappointed, and relieved both at the same time. One of My favourite teachers is not on there..... *grin*

One of the very few teachers I was willing to come and work with after school.

[Pinkbell]

I agree with you 100 percent. The thing that really grosses me out is when men make comments like, “I wish she was my teacher when I was a boy,” or “I’d hit it.” It’s disgusting.

[CatherineofAragon]

I agree.

Millions of women think Clinton was not guilty because they are attracted to him. I don't see a difference between that and what the OP complains about.

[BlueLancer]

As my memory serves, the whole thing started with the court case where the judge indicated, on the record, that the accused female shouldn't go to jail because she was too attractive (or something along those lines).

After that point, it became common for that case to be referenced and a "ruling" by the poster as to whether the female in question in the article was "guilty" or "not guilty" based upon their appearance.

After awhile, the reference to the initial court case was omitted and only the ruling of "guilty" or "not guilty" was mentioned.

But, again, as I recall, it never had anything to do with humor, about whether it was funny or not, but related to the court case where a sitting judge made a decision in favor of the accused based upon their appearance.

"I’ve never understood this Virgin thingy.....are all Muslim men pedophiles? Muslims men are beyond kinky in their thinking as well as how they treat their live women......do most Muslim women have “Battered person syndrome”??"

Last question first. The answer is "Yes."

Violence, especially toward women is endemic to their "culture."

Middle question on pedophilia. All? No. Most? Yes.

And finally the "Virgin thing."

It's really very simple if you think about it.

Moslem men are (especially the Arabs) desperately afraid they will not "measure up." They are therefore desperate for a wife(wives) who have not known other men. The chances of comparison are too humiliating for them to contemplate.

And, by the way, they are mostly ignorant, (literally) retarded inbreds who reply on this barbaric system without which their lives would be without purpose. With Islam they have purpose - killing and dying for he bloody Moon god.
