@Oldglorycries Context matters. Like wearing a swimsuit at a wedding.

In the context of police violence against POC, "All Lives Matter" was used to shut down conversation.

In the context of Israel and Palestine, "All Lives Matter" is meant to consider casualties on both sides.

@ask_aubry Even if it was "accepted" 200 years ago: there is something called evolution. I would think 1823 should not be our guide in race relations or women's rights. I mean, would dude be cool with people owning other people?

@66Shoebox77 @krassenstein Pacifist tax dollars pay for the military.

Vegan tax dollars pay for cattle subsidies.

So many taxpayers have issues with how their tax dollars are spent. Why should those against women's reproductive health care be treated special?

@IceQuebe_ Celine Dion and Whitney Houston both sang ballads and had huge vocal ranges. So if you liked one, you have to like the other.

Okay...

@IceQuebe_ @ThiccAngel1 Seinfeld is boring to me, too. But the idea that everyone must like what I like is sort of ridiculous...Or that someone can like one singer of a genre but not another...

@JVMonte2 Under pressure. Queen. Bowie.

I'm a realist. Your desire isn't a dialogue. Otherwise, you'd have been asking women long before today why Samuels was so toxic. You're looking to defend his stance: you called him a truth teller.

I respect your right to have an opinion, even if I don't respect your opinion.

[TonTon Stee @snatetate]

@Stonks_Mayne The reality is: you are convinced of your opinion an will dismiss anything that does not align with it. If you wish to know why people did not like Kevin Samuels, the Google machine will gladly show you. Instead, you wish to win the argument. Knowledge is not your goal.

[TonTon Stee @snatetate]

@Stonks_Mayne @sadgyalbae One can call anything whatever one wishes to call it. That's freedom of speech. Whether you agree with it is your business.

So, the thesis of my statement remains: a lot of people say Kevin Samuels as a misogynist. Your opinion differs. But it does not invalidate their opinions
