They don't know the difference between rape and sex, they don't know the difference between themselves and an ape (shoot me! I said it again!) and they can't tell the difference between Hof and MRA.

I think these people are the reasons that irons have tags on them that say, "Don't iron your clothes while you are wearing them." I always wondered who those tags were for, and now I know.

the energy it takes to debate the willfully stupid.

I don't mind educating the innocently ignorant but, the other is like

Some of you are so much better at it and have the patience of a Saint.

Me, not so much.

Reminds me of this popular tumblr post:

dudes: "all men watch porn just get used to it"

dudes: "men just have stronger sex drives than women, its just biology"

dudes: "we can't help objectifying women, its in our dna"

feminists: "rape happens a lot in our society and most are perpetrated by men, towards women, and i can't tell the difference between safe men and dangerous men just by looking so i tend to be wary of men sometimes"

dudes: "NOW WAIT JUST A FUCKIN SECOND HOW CAN YOU GENERALIZE ALL MEN THATS SO UNFAIR"

i saw that one locked thread which started attacking muslims and claiming how it's only muslim countries who do this or that. how about the vatican (i know it's not really a country but women are still required in dress certain ways)

these people seem to be closed off to the real world and never or don't want to meet different people. you would think with recent news about what is going on in egypt, syria and other muslim nations that people would see that not all muslims are the same.

it's the same shit from right wingers. "women are .................., men are............... muslims are....................."

there are many muslim women who wear bikinis and christians who don't (take duggars for example).

it's just so much ignorance and stereotyping .
