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.

That is excellent. How about “sick”, “depraved” or “unnatural”?

I personally do not give a thought to what someone else does in private, but homosexuals do seem to have a proclivity for pushing their behavior in everyone’s face and more disturbingly are often aggressive toward the young and vulnerable.

Hard to find fault with a term that has pirate in it.

Good to hear. Rump Ranger on the other hand makes me think of some eviro weeny park ranger, and not the military version. Seems like we are in agreement then. ;-)

I say let them have their fun. Have you seen pictures of some of these guys who inject “Guilty” “Not Guilty” into the conversation? Woof. I have no doubt their computer monitors are the closest thing they get to an attractive woman. It explains why Helen Thomas is so repulsive to them. They see her in their wives and girlfriends.

I meant that conservatives here shouldn’t be insulting each other, and should respect that many women find these postings insulting. If I wanted sexism, I would hang out on left-wing boards.

I don’t mind men havinq a “coarser side”. I like men who are men. I do mind when they act like boys should just LOVE it when they are forced into sex by an adult. If the jokers here are tryinq to MOCK that attitude, I understand that but the sarcasm doesn’t seem to be communicated clearly, because even Freepers on this thread are actinq as if a “real” male would enjoy beinq raped...

Don't know how you got to the "raped" tangent - the original thread was a complaint that some made their tongue-in-cheek evaluations of guilty or not guilty by whether the female involved was physically pleasing to their senses. It was a case of boys being boys and it was a male that made the ruckus over what normal, well-adjusted people would shrug off. I stand by my advice for him to get his nails buffed.

Perhaps Google has expunged the “glamor shots” images?

My college Spanish teacher was from Brazil(Brasil). She was, of course, multilingual.
