I agree that no man has the right to control a woman but out side of weirdo Incel chatrooms where in modern western culture are women being told that men are entitled to your time?

I find a deep irony in straight men thinking they have a god given right to play caveman with any woman they find attractive but being terrified that a gay man will flip them.

I’m so many words they aren’t told that, but in the lack of willingness to protect women from creeps before something happens, it shows. Obviously, not every woman has to deal with it so much since there are plenty people around that will make it “painfully” obvious to a creep that he’s wasting his time, the law isn’t very interested.

Entirely like that.

Also the fact that they think that we should change the whole of society to accomodate a tiny minority of men who either need therapy or to simply get out of this toxic group they joined, I watched a video about them the other day and most of the members were in the age range of 18 to 21, we are not talking about people that have spent a life time of rejection here, what they're experiencing is normal it's how they're handling it that's the problem, most people simply learn how to communicate with the opposite sex through a process of trail and error, they've given up before even trying and are now raging against the world.

Except for the fact that a) it would be a bad thing to do because it would be the same behavior, and b) I don't want to get killed, I would chase straight guys all over town telling them they look fine today and why won't they smile at me when I'm just trying to give them a compliment?

I've noticed that too - it's the complex fantasy of being able to move in the world as heterosexuals do but the most dominant template for the fantasy of how heterosexuals move in the world is deeply problematic.

Yeah, and the Iron Cross symbolized "bravery" or Honor or something. Not exactly the most potent Nazi iconography. The Iron Cross pre-dates Nazism, however I do believe the one he wore was Nazi era.

Its not my claim that this guy was some political ideologist. Quite the opposite. I don't think his selfish and cruel act was political as much as some people might want to prescribe it to their political opponents.

I think this piece of trash was a product of social/cultural factors. However, if you want to take one symbol he wore and point to it as evidence of a political leaning, then certainly the other symbols he wore should be given equal consideration.

I also don't believe "conservatives" equal "Nazism" in any realistic discussion.
