"Women are afraid of meeting a serial killer. Men are afraid of meeting someone fat."

Wed, 22 May 2013 17:08:13 -0700

“Women are afraid of meeting a serial killer. Men are afraid of meeting someone fat.”

-
When Strangers Click, a 2011 documentary about online dating.

It reminds me of that famous Margaret Atwood quote: “Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.” It also reminds me of something written by one of the mods of Sex Worker Problems: “Misandry irritates. Misogyny kills.”

I mean, it’s just true.

I posted this in AntiWestboro (facebook group), but it shouldn’t hurt to post here too:

I think everyone needs to meet Ronald Davis. As he so humbly points out, we are ALL human first! We often judge those who are impoverished by assuming that they must not work hard, that they made poor choices and ended up homeless as consequence, that they surely do drugs, that they are uneducated, and etc, but as humans we are multidimensional and often face factors that are out of our control. Instead of saying “I worked hard for my money so I’m not giving it to anyone else- they can work hard too”, say “I know from working hard that life can be difficult, so I will do what I can to help others.” It is simple compassion, and we all need it in our lives, regardless of our socioeconomic level.

A school turned make-shift morgue has its walls plastered with portraits of missing persons, mostly workers at the garment factory building which collapsed, on April 29, 2013 in Savar, near Dhaka, Bangladesh. Rescue workers gave up hopes of finding any more survivors in the remains of the building that collapsed five days ago.

When Aiya Van Kooten stood face-to-face with a burglar in her bedroom, her left eye twitched, then she went into “predator mode”.

“I screamed at him… jumped off my chair, leaped over my bed and sprinted after him down the stairs,” she said.

This lady is so awesome. She lives with her grandma and was studying and had a towel on her head and no shoes but she chased them out of her garden, kicked one up the arse as he climbed a fence, they dropped a camera and laptop, she flagged down a passing driver to help her continue the pursuit, and it turned out he was ex-military, and they finally caught one of them in a park and pinned him as the police arrived. Now she’s going to visit the burglar in prison for the next few months to help with his rehabilitation.

So in summary:

This lady doesn’t just defend her home and loved ones, she will hunt you down, team up with other skilled individuals, get you put away, and then teach you the consequences of your actions until you’re a valuable member of society once more.

Seriously she’s a frigging superhero.

“How do you teach homosexuality? Is it like French? I was born of heterosexual parents, taught by heterosexual teachers, in a fiercely heterosexual society. So why then am I homosexual? And, no offense meant, if it were true that children mimic their teachers, we’d have a hell of a lot more nuns running around.”

The man in the picture is Rachid Nekkaz, a French-Algerian businessman living in France.

He heard about the niqab ban in France. Then he announced that he will pay all fines for women who wear the niqab - not just in France but “in any country in the world that bans women from doing so”.

He opened a fund of € 1 million. Then he said, “My sister, go out free wherever you want and I will pay the fine for you”

Well I’m crying. I’m not muslim but I’m crying because there are good people left in this world. There really are.
