LA news show slut shames weather forecaster on air

Have you read my comments? Obviously not. I’m not going to say more because seriously, you’re pissing me off right now.

Well, this is what it comes back to. You think that no one was honestly upset by this. I’m not sure how you formed that opinion. I we agree that my example of someone using a slur against people with disabilities would be a case to react to, and we disagree that this is a case to react to, then this is just about you not believing people when they say what they thought of this. I think that’s the end of it.

You’re not actually thinking about what happened, just reflexively defending the sexism.

This is punching down, she’s the punchline. The sexist garbage wasn’t addressed, just endorsed by her employers. And thus, yourself.

Are you a troll?

No, but I question your sincerity if none of these thoughts have came to mind already in your rush to defend a clearly sexist joke

Protip: “cover up, our readers think you’re dressing too slutty” isn’t a joke, even if the station was laughing at her. If you think this is funny, you need to rethink your motives here. Because they’re not kind.

Have you ever heard “punch up, not down” before?

I don’t think you are an adversary. I do agree with @anon50609448’s position.

Oh I dared to doubt the unanimous interpretation of the situation by the central comittee of political correctness, mainly represented by yourself. So in consequence, I’m sexist.

At least the person I have been leading this conversation with seems to have understood my point of view, even if she doesn’t share it. You, on the contrary, are acting like a total idiot. I said many times that I endorse the feminist point of view, that I just don’t think this situation is helpful to its cause.

You: “You’re a bloody sexist pig screw you aaaargh!!!1!!”

Yeah, sure.

Ah, “political correctness”. Would you say I am also “a SJW”?

You position yourself as a better guy than you care to act or think. People forced into awkward sexist situations like this often play along, because they feel their employment is at risk by going to HR. That doesn’t make the situation not sexist. There is zero feminist context to telling a woman on air that she’s dressing too sexily and needs to cover up. It’s not that you’ve considered this, you simply can’t for whatever reason.

Fun fact, at the same time while you are try to put me in a box with all the demons you are fighting with, I just shut down someone who was accusing ‘all feminists’ of ‘being feminazi’, whatever that means. I’ll just leave it to you to figure out what you are or what anything or anyone else is. I’ll just leave you with this thought: creating an identity from the mold of your opponents leaves you with the urge to find new enemies at all times. I know that because I’ve been there. Now decide for yourself what you want to make of the words of an old reactionary sexist like the one you just uncovered.

Try shutting down sexists by not endorsing their beliefs next time.

If you read the rest of the thread, they fully agree with you. I’m sure you could call for backup!

I use my own head to create my own opinions, thank you. You really should try it!

The “free thinker” adopts the mainstream position, that there’s nothing wrong with jokes about women being slutty.

Such a rugged individualist!

The free thinker thinks with his own head, not with the one of those he usually agrees with.

Also, he tries to discuss without losing respect for his adversary. Something you’d do good to learn.

No sane person will ever accept an opinion from someone who’s being disrespectful.

Huh. A gun metaphor. SHOCKING, REALLY.

It’s do well… Harumph! :wink:

What works to shut down people who argue like ornery teenagers who just found a free outlet for expression?

Took me a couple of seconds to process that one :wink:

I think I should retire from online discussions for a while. They’re making my head spin. For days, I’ve been struggling with antisemites, sexists and even people who believe that Metallica was any good past their Black Album (yikes!). And now I myself appear before the great revolutionary tribunal, haha! Seriously?
