Of course. Everyone has their problem, and yes, everyone has their crosses to bare. But am I really supposed to believe that being called a racist or a sexist (both of which I have been called) is the same as being less likely to get a job, or being vastly more likely to get raped?

Don't get me wrong, as I said in an earlier post, I don't feel guilty about other peoples hardships. But that doesn't mean it's okay to belittle them.

What?  Your victim blaming sickens me.  God, what the hell, dude?  Guy gets stabbed and it's his own fault?  Serves him right for wearing that hoodie, huh?  I bet he had some tattoos, that's the same as just asking for it.

Seriously, thank you for coming along and providing a real world example of people going out of their way to rationalize hypothetical situations two completely different ways, even to the point of making up their own details so that one is more negative and one is more positive.  You've twisted it until the guy deserved to be stabbed just because you wanted to.

And, wow, "you shouldn't antagonise the one with the knife"?  Because stabbings are never done when someone's back is turned?  

Here, though, I'll give you the conclusion of the example: the guy got stabbed because he was trying to stop the girl from being raped.  Still his own fault for messing with a person who had a concealed knife?  Still want to apply two different sets of logic?

A good portion of the left is going full marxist. Its already here even if most people dont actively say they are marxist.
Actions speak louder than words. Everything about feminism and SJW's looks and sounds like marxism. The normal leftists are either agreeing or completely oblivious to what's happening.

It's not cool if people are joking to your face about you being a terrorist. I'm not sure why you have talked yourself into that being ok, but I suspect you're having some issues with that. 

The reason why a person would be an "asshole" in some of those examples is because it's not cool to pick on people who are commonly discriminated against. Piling on or being hostile to gays, fat people, regular Muslims, etc. does make one seem like an asshole because they are not exactly advantaged groups. 

It's like saying "well why is it ok to poke fun at Brad Pitt, but not the retarded kid? I want to make fun of retards because it's free speech" ... because one is a privileged person, if you're making fun of the other, you probably are an asshole. It's the same zip code as being a bully basically. 

Just like you CAN point at someone who has a facial deformity and say "oh wow, your face is fucked up", but doing so means you don't have any social tact. It's why we have a thing called a filter. 

You can say things, you just don't have the right to be popular because you say them or to be thought as not an asshole. That's not part of free speech either.

And you know what, I'm NOT a millenial, I'm older, but I have to say generally speaking things are better. People just complain about everything, but when I was in high school I was basically a "jock", and if someone dared to even hint at being gay at my school the bullying would've been unmerciful and unrelentless and saying things like "hey don't be such a fucking f*ggot" was commonplace. 

When I see teenagers today, they are much more evolved on that issue (and many others) in just 10-15 years, and honestly that is a good thing.

Oh so now you want to put in some context? Why didn't you put that context in in the first place? Is it because it's easier to make simplistic statements to try to justify an invalid point?

Context is everything when shit goes down. There is a big difference between getting stabbed because you are trying to stop someone from being assaulted or raped in a seedy bar, and walking into a seedy bar telling someone their an asshole and get the hell out of my seat or I'll shove the stool up your arse and then getting stabbed. Can you see that in one situation you would receive a whole lot more sympathy and praise for your actions leading up to being stabbed than the other? Or do you think the situations are more or less the same?

How about the situation where you stab someone who is trying to assault another person? Is the stabee a victim of your hateful and malicious crime or are you righteously coming to the defence of another? Would it be OK if you saw someone being assaulted and instead of stabbing them you raped them? The societal norms would say that there are situations where violence that causes severe injury is acceptable and even praiseworthy. But there is never a situation where force sex is acceptable or praiseworthy. That's why the crime of rape does not have degrees of badness but only aggrivating factors, like whether there were other forms of assault involved, or if the victinm was a minor. Whereas assault and homocide have degrees and even exhoneration on the grounds of self defence or defence of others, because society recognises there are mitigating factors, and indeed sometimes the wounded (or dead) person is at fault.

So, a guy goes to a seedy bar and gets stabbed lacks sufficient information to be able to judge the situation as to whether he was a victim of a crime. A woman goes to a seedy bar and gets raped, you don't need any other information to judge the situation, she was raped, she is therefore the victim of a crime.

Also how many instances have you heard of where a seedy bar is known to be the site of a few rapes in the past and is frequented by single women? I'm thinking women who know the history of the bar are not ever going to that bar without tagging along with a big tough guy who they trust who has a knife of them. So in the real world women don't need to be told to avoid rapey bars, they just do. And if someone new comes to town and she says "hey, lets go to this bar." And you say, "no, don't go to that bar because people have been raped there." Are you expecting her to respond with "I'll go to that damned bar and no one better rape me, and I don't care what you say." Or is a more likely response, "Man, thanks for telling me, I'm never going there. You're cool, here's my number, call me some time."

And more seriously, if you warned a woman not to go to a rapey bar, and she went by herself and ended up being raped and you said to some people, "I told her not to go there, why would she go there after I told her it was a rapey bar?" that they would say you are an asshole victim blamer? No people would not say that. People would be surprised that she went there after being warned, but they would still say "doesn't mean she deserved it." At least that's how I would expect the conversation to go with everyone I know IRL, which includes several feminists. And everyone would certainly say she's taking a big and unnecessary risk if she went back to the same bar where she got recently raped.

What would that article be, exactley? What would it look like? What's the headline?

"8 black people say something shitty about white people over gorilla incident:"? It isn't news worthy. Those are just 8 random people being shitty on Twitter.

Oh, and to avoid any confusion going forward....No, talking about people getting death threats is not the same.

I do agree with you that there is some male, white with good education privilege... but I won't ever feel guilty for something I was born with and didn't had option (although I'm certain I would have choose to be born as I was, perhaps richier), still I think equality is really treating everyone the same.

Just on the rape thing... there are newer studies and researches that show that man being rapped could be the same average or even higher than woman, but the men is even more ashamed to report because it would show they were weak to be rapped by a woman or the notion that a man should be grateful for every sex he get. Of course I won't take that as gospel. But since another research showed that perhaps 90% of the rape reports were lies. I wouldn't be so sure about the rape risk... and in my country you are 9-11x more prone to be killed as a heterossexual man than being gay or woman then I would say we are at a disavantage here more than them.

Exactly the point. If it was 8 white people talking shit about a black person it would warrant a 6000 words essay on every magazine about how much prejudice there is in our society and how all white people are racist.

Back to the point of the congressmen... there were a lot of cases in recent past about a left wing saying racist, machist jokes with no repercussion, but if someone that isn't left wing done 1/10 of the joke they would parade against the person. Please don't pretend to be blind.

could you tell me one of these "Straight jokes"? I've never heard one and now I'm curious.

And that is absolutely a conversation worth having. I'm actually a staunch believer that there are several issues that the public doesn't view in the correct light.

For instance, studies show that 40% of domestic violence victims are men and yet whenever you see anything about domestic violence it always focuses on women.

There are absolutely important misconceptions that are worth talking about. None of them are in the OP.

No, it wouldn't. These are random people on Twitter. Look at the comments on the article about that kids parents being black, or on that Chinese detergent commercial. We're there articles written about the racist things said there? No.

There are likely thousands of racist tweets every day about and by all kinds of people.  They do not merit comment.
