Facebook's misogyny problem
I admit I use FB quite a lot to keep up with friends and family, and also to post political comment. I chose to ignore the fact that it's used for far more nefarious purposes.

What the interpreters of terms at Facebook have yet to realize is that these pages are not just "offensive" to some people. Of course they are offensive to some people and that is just fine. But, they are genuinely "threatening," "hateful," and appear to "incite violence." They represent Facebook's choices about what the company thinks is okay culturally. This isn't hard to understand. Facebook doesn't have a word problem. Or a terms problem. Or a censorship problem. It has a sexism problem. It has a puerile male norm problem, apparently well-informed by lad-mags. It has a problem with defining words like "violent" and "hate crimes" and construing how words like "punch" "die, bitch, die" "slap" "bitch" "slut" and more might not be considered "threatening" and "inciting."
Facebook censors content all the time. It makes a conscious choice NOT to censor misogynistic content.
Discuss. And, the first person who 1) tells me to make them a sandwich or 2) tells me I can't take a joke goes on "ignore." And the second, and the thirds. And so forth.

First, a primitive wants to censor the fashion industry's use of "plus-sized". Now a DUmmies are pissed at Facebook. What don't these idiots find offensive?
What bitter people they must be, waking up looking for something, anything that doesn't meet their P/C-ness.

Lapislezzie, take a joke and go make me a PB&J sammich.

I wonder if the DUmmie is as upset at the treatment of Sarah Palin on FB?!?

That's nice, sweetheart. Why don't you fetch me a sandwich, a beer, and lighten the **** up...

Facebook won't even remove threats to the military, so you'll excuse me if I don't give a shit about your complaint.

Do you know why women's feet are so small?
So they can stand closer to the stove.
There is no right to be not offended. Most humor, as the DUchebags keep telling us, from the left is all about calling women c*nts, tw*ts, and other hilarious jokes lie that. I don't find that funny or satirical but mean. Now the joke above I do find funny because well it is absurd and that makes it funny.
Bill "the Dwarf" Mahers version:
Do you know why Sarah Palin's feet are so small?
Because she is a c*nt.
Not so funny.

For the love of peanut butter and jelly!!!!!!! You dumb whore. Take a ****ing midol and shut up! I seriously hate these miserable twats today.

Bitch please! STFU and get your ass in there and make me a sammich. :fuelfire:

I've been called a bitch, to my face, and I did not consider it a "threat of violence" in any way, shape, or form. ::)
-
Are there any ladies on ConservativeCave who I can ask a favor of ?
It seems there is a primitive female who needs to be bitchslapped, because she wont make me my damn sammich. - If one of you would be so kind, it would be most appreciated. :-)

Of course not. Palin "deserves" it. ::)

I have been called a bitch to my face and did not consider it a threat of violence...but I will admit that my response was most definitely at least a threat of violence, and sometimes more. O-)

You know, if you had a job, you would have less time to bitch about things like this...

I would love to, but I don't know where she lives. Get me her address and I'll be there in 2-3 days depending on location. If she's in California, I could be there tonight. :)
