> Calling women fat and unattractive for their use of birth control is not hate speech
Something isn't quite lining up here...
- omonra 10y agoPeople on the first list don't get to choose who they are. People on the second list make a conscious decision to use birth control. Thus the two are different. Same way hating men in general would be misandric. Hating men who do X is not.
- jbob2000 10y agoThe only people who use birth control are women, it's definitely an attack on women to attack birth control. And some women don't get a choice to use birth control, there are medical issues which necessitate stabile hormones. Unless you ask, you have no idea why a women is on birth control.
- sheraz 10y agoCalling someone fat and unattractive is NOT hate speech. Besides, whatever happened to just ignoring it and getting on with one's life? It is this constant cry-bully public outcry and constant whinging that has propelled people like Milo into the daily news cycle.
- jbob2000 10y agoRight, calling a person fat and unattractive isn't hate speech. Calling "women fat and unattractive for using birth control" is. Nice strawman though.
- sheraz 10y agoStrawman-schrawman.... Your threshold for hate speech much be pretty low if you think "fat and unattractive" fits the definition.
