Social Justice Warriors - Now With Less Feminism Sperging

[ChurchOfGodBear]

I saw an article on Facebook about how a number of studies have proven that voter ID laws not only DON'T discourage minorities from voting, but that in fact the areas with strict ID laws saw increased minority turnout. It was a Vox article, and the gist was "Voter ID laws don't discourage minority voting but they're bad anyway because they're racist."

I then saw somebody say that "Voter ID laws disproportionately target minority voters" and when confronted with the evidence that that is not true, say "Who cares? They're racist."

Let's assume for the moment that Voter ID laws are, in fact, actually racist.

We have banking ID laws. Are they racist? If so, why is it okay to have them? If not, what's the difference?

We have driver ID laws. Are they racist? If so, why is it okay to have them? If not, what's the difference?

We have liquor ID laws. Are they racist? If so, why is it okay to have them? If not, what's the difference?

Which of those things you mention protected by the Constitution?

I don't understand your question.

I don't understand your question.

Here's what has always been my issue with voter ID - is it free to all eligible voters?

In your examples, the IDs required for banking, driving and purchasing liquor are all obtained by an individual at a cost. That shit does not fly with voting because of the 24th Amendment, which states:

The right of citizens of the United States to vote in any primary or other election for President or Vice President, for electors for President or Vice President, or for Senator or Representative in Congress, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State by reason of failure to pay poll tax or other tax.

The feds, states and municipalities cannot charge legally eligible voters for the right to vote. While this doesn't exactly apply as being solely racial, one interpretation behind it is that a larger percentage of blacks were living in poverty back in the sixties when the amendment was passed. It does, of course, protect poor whites and everyone else.

But this is what drove my comment. We have Constitutional protections on voting - a lot of them. This is why you cannot compare a voting ID to a $50 drivers license.

Does feminism exclude knowing the concept "TMI"?

Kinkshamer. That's why he needs feminism.

The point I was making is, if the above laws are not racist, then neither are voter ID laws. If voter ID laws are racist, then so are the above laws-- a possibility no one wants to consider.

FWIW, I think a government-issued free ID would solve a lot of problems, this being just one example.

This may very well be one of the saddest male feminists I've ever seen.

I know now, thanks to my parents and the remarkable independent bookstore I spent my childhood in, that I was receiving an early lesson in equality, open-mindedness, and feminism.

Heh, was just watching Portlandia.

Yeah, who cares about acid attacks from slighted ex-boyfriends or gay/bi men being imprisoned and worse? Twitter comments and giggles from other dudes at the bar are the real issue here.

With age came music. At summer camp before junior year, as my bunkmates obsessed over Sublime and the Red Hot Chili Peppers and taped scissored posters of women in bikinis (and less) on the walls, I was hiding my Fiona Apple cassette.

At least he has some shame.

In college, I had to defend watching Sex and the City episodes

No one in college needs to know (or indeed cares about) your terrible taste in TV. You asked for it.

This morning, after engaging on Twitter with a man heckling feminists and “beta males” (that term a truly awful feat of insecurity and self-denial), I received a handful of heckles myself: mostly, comments that I own a cat.

C'mon, millions of men own cats. You're just a drama whore.

The real issue in all of this is that he thinks Fiona Apple is a better songwriter than Bob Dylan.

Nah it was Elliott Smith:

Yet, to me, [Smith's unreleased material is] no less relevant than Bob Dylan’s Basement Tapes or Neil Young’s Archives within the context of his career,

The day Fiona Apple wins a Nobel Prize will be a sad, sad say for humanity.

Just posting this here so if you see it around, we know patient zero.Urban Dictionary has an entry from 2006, but obviously it hadn't caught on.

They're awfully keen on gendered insults, huh?

Why shouldn't they be? Bad things are okay when they do it.

There was a time I thought making up words and using them to insult people showed how clever I was.

But then third grade started.

I call for making Notch's "cuntfusing" and "woman-driving" a thing.

You know what they say, "woman at the steer always ends in blood and tears"
