Really bummed but I’m pulling out of the hellsite. Find me at 🔵 sky, same name. Take it easy. 💜

@reverandglenn @JuliusGoat I know you guys are super excited to use it, but everyone knows that the r-word is absolutely a slur. Use it if you want, but be enough of an adult to admit what you’re doing.

@ripplemynipple @RabbiSamStern @wokehammerLs Okay, I looked at France. What does “denied us our birthright” mean?

@beyerstein He really is a true moron

@patriottakes That hat doesn’t fit.

@an_tiddies @anderwreckz @drgurner @RachelCharleneL Again, I take serious issue with the idea that the only guys saying this stuff are ones who can’t get a date. That is just not true.

[Ginny Beesly @ginnybeesly]

@FionaLynch1997 @drgurner @RachelCharleneL We should be condemning what they say, not vaguely calling it “unfortunate” as though it’s a passive natural phenomenon.

[Ginny Beesly @ginnybeesly]

@FionaLynch1997 @drgurner @RachelCharleneL That’s fair enough, but I still really take issue with approaching this with that kind of neutrality. Polarisation implies that there are 2 equal sides that are just at odds. What we’re seeing with these men is radicalization. People who say this stuff SHOULD lose out on dating.

[Ginny Beesly @ginnybeesly]

@SevyEngling @FionaLynch1997 @drgurner @RachelCharleneL I disagree with that reading.

[Ginny Beesly @ginnybeesly]

@Geniasis @drgurner @RachelCharleneL You have completely misunderstood my tweet. I said she was treating the girls *themselves* as “missed opportunities”, for the boys. As in, the boys are going to miss out on dating them when they otherwise would’ve been available. It’s gross.

[Ginny Beesly @ginnybeesly]

@Geniasis @drgurner @RachelCharleneL I didn’t say the women are missing out, they most assuredly are not by deciding not to have relationships with misogynists. And I think it assumes a lot to think all the men saying this stuff are incels. But again, why is it unfortunate if no one dates an abusive man?

[Ginny Beesly @ginnybeesly]

@Geniasis @drgurner @RachelCharleneL Why would it be “unfortunate” that these young women don’t want to date the people threatening them?

[Ginny Beesly @ginnybeesly]

@drgurner @RachelCharleneL And if I were you I would examine why my first thought when seeing a rape threat is “poor lamb, now he’ll never get a date.”

[Ginny Beesly @ginnybeesly]

@drgurner @RachelCharleneL You say that like these girls are missed opportunities instead of people being harassed and threatened. Weird takeaway.
