This is a true story. The meanest and most judgmental things that have ever been said to me always come from other females. If that female happens to be a feminist then it’s EXTRA cruel and EXTRA ignorant, especially because I’m not a feminist.

“But but but but The Patriarchy made me bully that girl until she got an eating disorder!”

Watch these people explain, defend, and quantify the use of, “it’s not my job to educate you!” while actually being that which you were making fun of in the original post. Really, though. The whole, “It’s not my job to educate you.” thing is what someone says when they know they have no valid, fact-based point to make or when they know the person they’re talking to is going to see through their bullshit right away. The type of people who usually use this are those who will jump at the chance to tell you how oppressed they are, who make a huge deal about the rights of “marginalized groups” while not being a part of any of the groups they claim to fight for, who will try and get another person in trouble because they told a joke that could possibly be considered sexist if you REALLY think about it, who will proudly call themselves feminists or equal-rights advocates while shitting on any person who doesn’t hold the same values as them and sending hate mobs after those who dare disagree with them, who will freak if you don’t put a trigger warning on your image of a cheeseburger; PC, SJW, Feminist, Activist. Pick any, they all do it.

“I’ts not my job to educate you”

actually if you say that you are right you should probably explain why, not just expect people to blindly agree with you because you said so

First of all, I didn’t brush their experience off. This thread started with a post that basically said we shouldn’t take certain pieces of evidence, testimony, and behavior into account in rape cases. My reply wasn’t referring to Witchlockmonsterfox’s experience, I was speaking generally in terms of rape cases we’ve seen in the media with those types of situations within them. Second, I KNOW about Witchlockmonsterfox’s past, intimately. We dated, it didn’t end awesomely, but during the time we were together they shared a lot of the bad things that happened in the past with me, that being one of them. Finally, I think it’s absurd that you think being a rape victim means somebody owes you something. I think it’s great to donate to organizations that help rape victims, battered individuals, etc. and those are all things that, when able to, I do. However, telling some person you don’t even know that they should pay another person money simply because they’re a rape victim is ridiculous. It’s also ridiculous to decide that I’m insensitive because I think that ALL criminal cases, including rape, should be tried fairly with all evidence or lack thereof taken into account. Also, you don’t know anything about me. I was raped twice during my first year of college. I just choose not to broadcast that fact, but you want to attack me for my opinion, one that wasn’t even about or direct toward any specific individual and then act like I owe the other people on this thread something, and why? Because my opinion differs from yours? Because, instead of actually speaking civilly or asking me what my personal experience was, you just decide to be rude to me. I couldn’t POSSIBLY have any understanding of rape or what anything like that is like, you just KNOW that about me. I couldn’t possibly have that opinion and also have been raped, because everyone’s mind works exactly the same and the NO rape victims are capable of having the opinion I do. You attack me, acting like I did some horrible thing because I have this opinion and then you tell me “reconsider your life.” I mean, really? Does that make you feel like you’re a good person? Did you feel like you were standing up for someone? You can’t fight a wrong with rudeness, it doesn’t work that way. I wasn’t even talking to or about Witchlockmonsterfox in my comment, but you? You directly attacked me over an assumption, or rather, an assload of assumptions. You should probably reconsider how you treat other people who have differing opinions from you.

“but the guy said he didn’t do it!” literally all rapists say this, what else is he gonna fucking say. next. “but she got all that attention!” and you would prefer she what, quietly suffered and maybe killed herself in…

My little diy-ish jewelry area. Square panel wall hook from World Market for necklaces and bracelets. Clothes pins covered in burlap from Target for rings. (And small bunches of fake flowers.) I know the purple flowers in the last one makes the clothes pins look uneven, but I swear they aren't. Anyway, this is so much better for me, because I fucking hate having to take jewelry that I wear a lot in and out of my jewelry box constantly. So, it used to always end up in little piles on my tables. So far, having everything organized like this and easy to get to us working. I hang my necklaces and bracelets on the hook and clip my rings into the little opening in the clothes pins; this way the clothes pin can't bend or crush the rings but they're still clipped in place.

So, I did this. I've lost over 100lbs of the weight I gained from Lyrica. :)

Oh, fucking waaahhhhh, I had to stay up late to do something I had four days to do. And thanks for acknowledging my existence on the way to bed.

When there is a serious lack of ANY type of evidence, a major lack of consistency in the accuser's story, evidence that actually points to the innocence of the accused, and motive to falsely accuse/gain occurring because of the accusation then it's pretty ridiculous to blindly believe the accuser or blindly hate the accused.
