Lightning Fast

Spoiler: Cops legally serving warrants aren’t criminals.

2. I know BLMers struggle with facts, but, y'know, I’m pretty sure they called in the tac team after she pointed a gun at them and took a child hostage. Those guys are expensive.

Just

So. Here’s the thing. Given a cursory glance and applying today’s worldview to the song, yes, you’re right, it absolutely *sounds* like a rape anthem. 

BUT! Let’s look closer! 

“Hey what’s in this drink” was a stock joke at the time, and the punchline was invariably that there’s actually pretty much nothing in the drink, not even a significant amount of alcohol.

See, this woman is staying late, unchaperoned, at a dude’s house. In the 1940’s, that’s the kind of thing Good Girls aren’t supposed to do — and she wants people to think she’s a good girl. The woman in the song says outright, multiple times, that what other people will think of her staying is what she’s really concerned about: “the neighbors might think,” “my maiden aunt’s mind is vicious,” “there’s bound to be talk tomorrow.” But she’s having a really good time, and she wants to stay, and so she is excusing her uncharacteristically bold behavior (either to the guy or to herself) by blaming it on the drink — unaware that the drink is actually really weak, maybe not even alcoholic at all. That’s the joke. That is the standard joke that’s going on when a woman in media from the early-to-mid 20th century says “hey, what’s in this drink?” It is not a joke about how she’s drunk and about to be raped. It’s a joke about how she’s perfectly sober and about to have awesome consensual sex and use the drink for plausible deniability because she’s living in a society where women aren’t supposed to have sexual agency.

Basically, the song only makes sense in the context of a society in which women are expected to reject men’s advances whether they actually want to or not, and therefore it’s normal and expected for a lady’s gentleman companion to pressure her despite her protests, because he knows she would have to say that whether or not she meant it, and if she really wants to stay she won’t be able to justify doing so unless he offers her an excuse other than “I’m staying because I want to.” (That’s the main theme of the man’s lines in the song, suggesting excuses she can use when people ask later why she spent the night at his house: it was so cold out, there were no cabs available, he simply insisted because he was concerned about my safety in such awful weather, it was perfectly innocent and definitely not about sex at all!) In this particular case, he’s pretty clearly right, because the woman has a voice, and she’s using it to give all the culturally-understood signals that she actually does want to stay but can’t say so. She states explicitly that she’s resisting because she’s supposed to, not because she wants to: “I ought to say no no no…” She states explicitly that she’s just putting up a token resistance so she’ll be able to claim later that she did what’s expected of a decent woman in this situation: “at least I’m gonna say that I tried.” And at the end of the song they’re singing together, in harmony, because they’re both on the same page and they have been all along.

Oh look, the original song also comes in a gender-reversed version, where the woman is a lot more physically aggressive.

> But it’s also, at the same time, one of the best illustrations of rape culture that pop culture has ever produced. It’s a song about a society where women aren’t allowed to say yes…which happens to mean it’s also a society where women don’t have a clear and unambiguous way to say no.

“tee hee, that’s right, I’m a GRRRRRRRLLLLL and I play video games hate feminazis! don’t hit on me, silly cucks~! i’m an EGALITARIAN, racism and sexism are already over! there’s no such thing as structual oppression, you fucking cultural marxist cuck! anyone who thinks the patriarchy is real is a FUCKING MANGINA and needs to get SET STRAIGHT by LOGIC AND REASON. we’re, like SOOOOOO privileged, straight white men are so oppressed! there are only two genders lol XD! …

We both can learn a thing or two eh?

A. It actually made sense. No female anti-sjw I’ve encountered gives a shit if men think they’re cool. At least male anti-sjws wearing fedoras is actually kind of a thing, you just pulled this out of your ass. 

B. There was any form of wit involved. This is 10-12 year old caliber humour at best. 

b. says the person whose url is “kissmyprivilege”.

1.) The hypocrisy…the just blaring hypocrisy. The same people grandstanding that Jennifer Lawrence’s nudes being seen was sexual assault. The same people who claim women are objectified don’t just want you to go find naked pics of Ryan Gosling no they want you to steal pictures of Ryan Goslings dick. 

2.) For the love of all that is fuck stop telling women what to do. If women largely do not want to be programmers or “hackers” then who gives a flying rat cunt. Shut up and let women make their own fucking choices without the peanut gallery trying to shame them into something they don’t want.

3.) This is just overall the most cringeworthy manipulation attempt I’ve ever seen. Feminists dangling Ryan Goslings dick out there trying to lure women into their way of thinking and into doing what they think women should be doing. This is the viral video equivalent of here’s some candy now get in the van. Once again treating adult women like infants.

You really think there’s a comparison between the priority of fixing a hole in a busy intersection in Fukoka and in a shitty little rural side road that doesn’t even have markings on it.

Daughter of EU-official raped and drowned by ‘unaccompanied minor’

The girl has been going home after a student party in Freiburg mid-October. Her drowned body was found later that day in the Dreisam river. It is not yet clear whether she was drowned by force or if she was thrown in the river unconscious.

Supposedly she is the daughter of Dr. Clemens L., who works for the EU commission as a human rights lawyer. Police is investigating whether or not she knew the suspect, but she appeared to have been member of a refugee support group.

The Afghani refugee had come into Germany in 2015. He was currently living with a local family.

He got caught in part by his unusual hair and was spotted on local traffic camera footage. He stood out because of his “undercut haircut and bleached braid”. A long bleached hair was also found on the crime scene, which was matched by a DNA test.

This is the second such crime that shocks the region after 27-year-old Carolin G. was raped and murdered in broad daylight during a stroll in early November.

Her killer has now confessed to the crime.

She volunteered at a refugee shelter, which might increase chances she knew the man.

Her father is supposedly a pro-refugee activist in political circles and organizations (not confirmed).

According to the obituary the parents asked friends and relatives to donate to the refugee charity “Weitblick Freiburg” during their own daughters funeral.

The mayor of Freiburg has asked citizens to ‘not jump to conclusions’ and to see the attack as ‘an isolated case.’

I’m sorry for the girl, yet for the father.. sure I pity him, but at the same time there’s a silver lining in the sense that the affected family is one of the EU elite for once, and not just the peasants whose complaints are never heard, much less felt, all the way up there.

but who the hell are you that you think you can come over here and tell me that me MAKING A JOKE on my own blog that is MOSTLY SHITPOSTING is ruining my relationship. you are not in my relationship, you dont know anything about my relationship.

dont fuckin talk to me about communication, buddy. we communicate just fuckin fine. sure, i have some moments where im scared to open up, but i think thats a little understandable when you take in the fact that before my current boyfriend, my longest relationship was with a drug dealer who embodied every persian stereotype you could think of and beat me whenever i tried to “bother” him with my “bullshit”.

All he was saying was that in the context of the “joke” (which didn’t come off as a joke) was that you should see his (your boyfriend in this case) point of view before condemning it as bad solely because of the label.

His next point, about communication, was about how jumping to conclusions can ruin a relationship. That was all. It wasn’t a specific targeted jab at your relationship, but rather about how jumping to conclusions are a quick way to ruin any relationship.

OH YEAH IM ABSOLUTELY ABUSIVE. ME MAKING A JOKE ON MY BLOG THAT MY BOYFRIEND ABSOLUTELY UNDERSTOOD BECAUSE ITS PART OF A RUNNING JOKE WE HAVE BETWEEN US IS TOTALLY ABUSIVE.

ME LETTING MY BOYFRIEND KNOW THAT I LOVE HIM EVERY SINGLE DAY, DESPITE MY MORTAL FEAR OF THE WORD “LOVE”, IS ABUSIVE. ME BEING THERE FOR HIM WHEN HIS STRESS AND ANXIETY GETS TOO MUCH, HOLDING HIM WHEN HE CRIES, WIPING AWAY HIS TEARS IS ABUSIVE. ME DROPPING EVERYTHING TO LISTEN TO HIS CONCERNS IS ABUSIVE.

i would cut off my arm for my julian and you, you PATHETIC little shit stain, have the NERVE to call me abusive. and why? because you and your little leprechaun fucking buddies here didnt understand a joke that wasnt even meant for you?

why are you so convinced that youre an expert on my relationship?
