just tackled this while surfing the net. . .

Ye'. They're right by me. Honestly, all the more reason to hate feminism.



Asking how this relates to feminism, hmm?
He would have been charged instead of her without the video proof.
Why? He's male and she's female.

>>2 Not sure if you're trolling or not thinking the comment through, but-

That's not feminism but sexism. It's the police officer's own sexism if he's ready to believe her just because she's a woman. Feminism is the opposite of that whole mentality in that women should be treated the same way men are. You're mixing it up.

And any woman saying a man should automatically be to blame and hiding behind the wall of 'feminism' isn't a "feminist" but, rather, an "asshole" who'd, by any other name, still be an asshole. Just to clear that up ahead of time.

>>4 Vouch.

>>3 He's just trolling. I remember him a while back mentioning how he wanted to start posting like Chrome, so just treat it in the same regard.

>>3 I was thinking the exact same thing, it's sexism rather than feminism.

The modern feminist movement does have a tendency to 'over-correct' equality as far as I have seen, so there are some cases where women are treated better than men in the name of equality. However, in this case, it's the sexist idea of females being victims and men being aggressors. I don't think feminism has anything to do with this.

>>6 I figured but wanted to reply anyway .o.

>>6 Huh? Find where I said that.

>>6 I'd like to mention those are my opinions to the feminist party and I didn't think the reply through.

>>11 Damn straight, and women...just cause you got an ass and tits doesn't mean you can get away with everything..

>>12 Are you, perchance, retarded?

^this

idk how this relates to sexism and feminism. i just thought that this is just another incident caused by misunderstanding. . .

>>13 If you took me seriously then, idk what to tell you cause I wasn't being serious at all.

>>16 you do realize sarcasm unless very heavily applied is almost impossible to detect via text right?

>>17 I should know.
Most people on this site probably think I am defected in multiple ways.

>Everybody mentions sexism and feminism because a woman did it

>Nobody realizes that drones are flying around watching us right now, and she was a hero by kicking that guy's ass

>>19

I am mentioning sexism because it was sexist for the officer to assume the woman was the victim in this situation. Whether it was a woman or man thinking that way or being thought of that way is irrelevant. Sexism is not just about women.

There is no reasonable expectation of privacy in a public place like a beach. She is not a hero.

>>21 This.

>>19 Seriously, he was flying over what seemed to be mostly public property. If I were to skydive the parachute in or rent a helicopter to fly along and take pictures/ videos of the beach you would be fine wouldn't you. But because a private citizen strapped a go-pro to his quad-copter you're going to scream "Done Spy!" I oppose government drone surveillance as much as the next freedom loving individual, but that guy had committed no crime.

>>21

perhaps we can say that the video wasn't really the 'whole situation'. . . the video only shown the part where the woman was attacking the guy.

>>24 It is possible, however irrelevant to the discussion of sexism in this case. It may change how we view the woman (eg, she may be more 'heroic' if he was harassing people with his drone), but it does not change how we perceive the officer.

>>25

It might change people's view on women, but only a fool would think like that. Not all people are the same in the first place. And generalizing people based on what the other one did is wrong.

>>26 Woman, not women. That was not a general statement, it was about the specific woman that attacked the operator. We may view her in a more positive light if the operator was flying his drone close to people to annoy them for fun.

>>27

lol, doesn't make any difference. anyways, i'm not on the woman side and also in the guy's side. we can also say that she simply just misunderstood what he was doing. I think the cops also checked the gallery of his drone's camera, to prove that he wasn't taking pictures for perverted purposes or anything that could make the woman really angry about. . .
