It's cute how there are women of color who think that the "Karen"-hating frenzy is going to benefit them. Of all the things that white women have had that women of color have been excluded from, when have abuse, negligence, retaliation and punishment for speaking up ever been some of those things?

By degrees
It won't be long until women can't call the police at all. They'll have to have men call for them, and witness for them, or they'll be arrested; that's if the police respond when they hear women's voices.
"White women lie"
From Google for "white women lie":
The Virginia woman is 63. Her report is being characterized as a waste of time and resources.
Her usefulness as a symbol has clearly been outlived, individually and historically.
Her name is given in that and several other articles, if anyone would like to productively spend time stalking and harassing her online or even tracking her to where she lives. What do you think the police will do if she's robbed or beaten at home and she tries to call again? Accuse her of lying? Tell her to stop harassing them and go back to sleep?

Next race: Aaron Coleman
You know, because a teenager who bullied and extorted girls in middle school and who choked his girlfriend last year and threatened to kill her if she ever got pregnant is just misunderstood and discriminated against.
Hell, all men are misunderstood. That's just what people do; they're always misunderstanding men.

Next time
The next time that there's a movement to stop powerful people from getting away with sexual misconduct, include men. It won't guarantee that the movement doesn't collapse within weeks as soon as someone is accused that it's inconvenient to investigate, but it might not be quite as easy to portray the powerful person's misconduct as being appropriate and his questioners as villains.
He DID have sex with college students.
If some of them were 18 or 19, then they were teenagers when he had sex with them.

Stereotypes
There is no hatred more enduring than intimate hatred.
I don't know that an antidiscrimination law needs to have a name that reinforces the idea that women maliciously lie. Women do maliciously lie; so do men. There is no race that has no people who lie. People lie.
How many black women have been raped in the United States since the first black woman lived here? How many black men have been raped?
What is rape? What is the definition of rape, filtered through racism?
It's that white women aren't raped by white men, because white men have the rights to white women. It's that white men aren't raped by white men, because men aren't raped; it doesn't happen. It's that black women aren't raped by men of any race, because men of any race have the rights to black women. It's that black men aren't raped, because animals aren't raped.
Only black men rape white women, and it's all rape, even if all they do is think about it, and that's what they all do, they all think about it. They are rapists, black men.
Is that the proud foundation of America? There is nobody to contradict me before I publish this page; I'm sure someone will let me know.
How many black women have been raped and murdered? The thing about killing a servant is that you have to replace her. How many black women have been raped and beaten by white employers, for years? How many black women have been abused by the husbands and the wives in white employ, and even the children and other relatives, because it's common for a designated victim to be abused by multiple perpetrators in a group? How many black women have raised their rapists' children, in their own homes, with their black partners, in the irony of black men disciplining half-white children? Someone has to raise them. Children need parents.
Another irony; I have to credit one of Maya Angelou's autobiographical books for this insight, which is that people lose their inhibitions in the presence of people whom they perceive as having no perceptions. Every idiosyncracy, every vanity, every personalized cruelty, every perversion, everything that white people on their best behavior don't show to each other, what haven't they shown to black people whose ability to live or die they controlled?
If there is a collective culture among black people in which hatred of white women is agreed upon as entirely justified, it's not difficult to understand why. It's not that white women aren't raped, were never raped, it's not even that white women never are and never were raped by black men. It's that they can call it rape; the only ones who can. The only tears that matter.
There's no rational thing to say to collective anguish, particularly when the person talking is from a symbolized category.
I can't look at pictures of FGM.
It's happening to people now, while I write this page.
From Senator Booker's Twitter:
He seems here like a fun-loving kid, maybe someone who, despite being told, can't think the worst of others because what they would do are things that he would never do.
I'd rather be corrected if I'm wrong.
Here it is again:

https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/35/text
____________
The New York Times article that I read yesterday seemed to be discussing an argument about scope, so that was the perspective that I brought to the bill when I read it today; I read it for information about the basis of the argument.
I thought that "lynching" meant to kill someone. I know that the word "interfere" has legal implications other than its use in regular speech, so I can understand the use of that word to describe killing someone for trying to exercise rights.
I wasn't trying to be convoluted when I wrote about this bill earlier today. Taken together, these paragraphs seem to me to be conflating the act of lynching with lesser forms of discrimination. Am I wrong? Did I read it wrong?
I do understand that less severe forms of discrimination, if they're allowed to proliferate, almost invariably lead to collective desensitization toward more severe forms; that's what I've been saying about the conglomerate since it started promoting the sexual harassment of women in 2010. I said "It's not funny" as soon as it started, and as the abuses have worsened to grotesque violations that have gone for so long that they seem normal to many of the people perpetrating them, they think it's all funnier than ever. After a few weeks of the harassment in 2010, I said "This is going to end up getting me killed." An eventual death from a multiple-perpetrator-rape/murder, precipitated by the conglomerate branding me a slut, was my expectation after only a few weeks. If, by a year of harassment later and for several subsequent years, I sometimes overreacted to innocuous situations, I think that people who choose to understand can.
However, I don't confuse a lesser form of gender discrimination, such as sexual harassment, with actual murder. It could be my lack of formal legal education that is preventing me from understanding why so many lesser forms of racial discrimination are listed under a section called "Lynching."
I don't think of murder as being a tool of interference; I think of it as being an endpoint. The threat of murder, stated or understood implicitly, is a tool of interference, but that's not what 22 says.
Online mobbing is a major tool of interference. Death threats and other threats of violence and incitement to violence are routine. For people to talk about someone that way online can be a barrier to housing, employment and even medical care; when you are mobbed online, opportunities are often denied to you either because people who have never heard of you before think you must deserve it or they don't know if you "deserve" it but they don't want to be jeopardized by renting to you, hiring you or giving you medical care. Even so, online mobbing isn't equivalent to murder. I don't minimize it, the way that the conglomerate does, but I know it's not the same thing as murder.
Yes, I heard you before.
From Ryan Grim's Twitter:
Some questions:
-Are they following a protocol for the investigation? Is it being legally conducted?
-I'm not unfamiliar with skepticism about internal investigations. My question is, do you think they're going to be more biased than you?
You terrorized them because you like Mayor Morse's politics.
You're not even gay, and here you have been redefining discrimination to include confronting elected officials and teachers who sleep with college students.
You were able to do this because there is eagerness from the mainstream media to destroy what is left of Me Too.
These are STUDENTS. First, Mayor Morse slept with students, then you said it was fine because he hadn't raped anyone (that we know of), and now your efforts have made STUDENTS doubt their ability to discern appropriate behavior.
When do these STUDENTS stop being exploited for the sake of an election? You're not even a resident of Massachusetts; when people started criticizing you at Twitter, you told everybody to be nice to you, Tweeted that people from Massachusetts aren't known for being good people, and ganged up with another reporter to talk about "Massholes." After all of that, the mainstream media hasn't confronted you, and so these STUDENTS who want to be involved in politics are afraid of you and the "Morsementum" to which you have spent weeks devoting your time.
Obviously, for him to win is good for your career.
From Ryan Grim's Twitter:
_____________
When I make factual errors, I'd rather be corrected immediately than to have people be embarrassed for me. I do not deliberately manipulate information, nor do I try to intimidate investigations to have the outcomes that I want, nor do I create a hostile environment on a national stage to terrorize anyone who has relevant information into silence, nor do I collude to redefine sex with college students when one is an elected official and a teacher not only as being acceptable behavior but also as being behavior that everyone has to accept or be accused of discrimination.
My attempts at civic engagement are truthful.
He DID admit to sleeping with college students.
From Ryan Grim's Twitter:
From Google for "Alex Morse slept with college students":
___________
Mayor Morse should have withdrawn from the race. The real scandals are:
-That he slept with college students while an elected official and a teacher.
-That he was negligent toward police brutality.
-That Ryan Grim took this story over and portrayed him as a victim of homophobia because Mr. Grim prefers Mayor Morse's politics.
-That other journalists with Mr. Grim's political agenda ran with the story, also because they prefer Mayor Morse's politics.
-That Mr. Grim has effectively created a hostile environment to intimidate anyone who might otherwise have spoken up and risked public exposure about feeling mistreated by Mayor Morse.
-There is no question that Mr. Grim is totally partisan about Mayor Morse and has never Tweeted anything other than adamant support for him; it's not journalism, it's campaigning.
-That there are mainstream media outlets that have also either proclaimed Mayor Morse innocent of additional misconduct before two investigations have concluded, minimized his major errors in judgment, also portrayed him as a victim of homophobia as if criticism of his inappropriate behavior were discriminatory rather than legitimate criticism of his abuse of his office and employment, or expanded the formula of treating misconduct allegations as if they are frivolous nuisances.
-That there were any political endorsements of Mayor Morse.
-That, despite having initially tried to subject misconduct allegations against Aaron Coleman to the same treatment of portraying him as being innocent because he was accused that was being used for Mayor Morse, and the shocking results of that callous behavior, there's been seemingly no fallout or loss of credibility for Mr. Grim's reporting about Mayor Morse. He's not getting as much press as he would like to have, but he's not being criticized by the mainstream media.
Mr. Grim is paid to be a reporter, isn't he? This is his profession?
There is no royalty in the United States.
The United States is supposed to be a country without royalty. For that reason, I object to the name of this act.

I think this bill shouldn't pass with the name it has now.
Also, I think it would be nice if the bill included everyone. Several months ago, I asked my employer if I could dye my hair a nonhair color. I was told that it was against company policy. I then asked if I could dye a streak of my hair a nonhair color and was told that I could. I haven't, so far.
Shouldn't everyone in the country have the right to unconservative hair?
