Of course they would.I wonder if feminists would get pissed of at the hashtag #killallwomen.
Joking about killing men is quite acceptable in some liberal/feminist circles. Several messages an hour with #killallmen hashtag appear on Twitter. An account with 11,000 posters recently had the following:
Recently a popular Canadian Feminist site called Feminist Current featured an article We need a mandemic:
The book "Are Men Necessary" was a bestseller in 2005.
Some great minds of our time think that men who complain about such jokes are paranoid.
Of course they would.
I don't really care what some idiot on Twitter has to say.
Let her say her stupid opinions.
Yeah, those liberals are all just a bunch of merry jokesters.I agree with you in that it should never be OK for any group to talk about killing anyone.
However, I do find it humorous to read something directed at Liberals for this as opposed to all of the actual hate groups out there spewing their rhetoric.
The way I see it, when I read one of these trailer trash KKK types talking about killing Obama, I take them seriously. They very clearly mean it. The only thing in question is whether or not they would ever act on their wants. But there is no question about what they want to see happen.
When I read something about some group of homosexuals talking about killing straight men, I walk away from it thinking that they neither mean it or intend to implement it.
The real difference is that one group exists for the purpose of supporting ideology associated with the threats, whereas the other group exists for reasons that have nothing to do with any such ideology.
And this is a pretty important difference.
Melissa Cutler said:I don't really understand how man hating can be seen as unreasonable and offensive, given all the man-made problems in the world throughout history. Not to mention that men have been hating women for centuries. And yet I see that tossed out all over the place as the ultimate insult: "You're just a bunch of man-haters!"
And all I can think is, Well, yeah. Kinda surprised there aren't more man-haters, given everything. Like, how is that so awful a concept?
Tired feminist said:No, it's because men will never care about women. A sexually transmitted, man-killing virus would mobilize all men in the world to find a solution asap only because it would threaten their sense of entitlement to women's bodies. Even their lives could easily be spared if they just left us alone...
Meghan Murphy said:So men are just choosing to continue to rape women and girls for fun? Yet you think we SHOULDN'T kill 'em off with some kind of virus?
This is a case where the subject of the "satire" is what differentiates between hate speech and progressive enlightenment. If you substitute all references of man/men/males with any ethnicity or socially preferred group (i.e LGBT, women, minorities, muslims, etc) then it would be hate speech. Because this is about men, though, it is enlightened progressive speech that is unassailable.
No , no I do not find it to be hate speech . If the same people who make such jokes , but get offended if the same kind of humor is applied to them it is hypocriticalike.
Bad taste? Maybe.
Hate Speech? Might be, if you are the type of person who supports the arbitrary limiting of others freedom of speech.
As such, I wouldn't support it as being hate speech, as inevitably the next step is for the government to ban it. I'd rather have it said and right fully ignored or even better, ridiculed.
I agree 100%. While Free Speech is under attack from the Liberals it would be very wrong for Conservatives to join the attack on the Free Speech.
The best solution is to stand for the right to insult anyone.
Wow, I did not know I was attacking free speech. Thank you for telling me what I am doing, I would never have known...:roll:

Political correctness is killing comedy, says John Cleese: Monty Python star believes fear of offending certain groups could lead to 1984-style society where free expression is not allowed
. . . .
Cleese goes on to say that people do not have the right to be 'protected from any kind of uncomfortable emotion' as he defends the right of expression for comedians worldwide.
He then quotes psychologist Robin Skynner, saying: 'If people cant control their own emotions then they need to start controlling other people’s behaviour,' as he continues the profound tirade.'
Cleese adds: 'When you're around people who are saper-sensitive, you cant relax, be spontaneous as you have no idea what is going to upset them next.

So freakin' what? I'm sure each of us could google a dozen sites saying the same thing about women... and just about everybody else.
Calling for the death of anyone based on some physical feature of theirs is hate speech yes. But it should be allowed anyways.
