Pride bats aloft
The San Francisco Public Library posted on Facebook a couple of hours ago:
SFPL exhibits are intended to address social issues of the time. We do not endorse nor advocate the viewpoints of the exhibits. Due to concerns raised by library patrons, we are altering the degenderettes antifa art exhibit at the Main Library to remove an offensive shirt, a piece of artwork that could be interpreted as promoting violence, which is incompatible with our exhibitions policy. See the attached poster for more info about the exhibit.
“…pride bat in hand” – ready to club a woman. If it were a member of the KKK with a burning cross would the SFPL be celebrating the “defiance” with an exhibition? Museums and libraries do have exhibitions of racist violence, of course, but not in celebration.
Strange times.
Also, what does antifa have to do with “die cis scum”? Or are they assuming all cis women are fascists now?
Seven transgender women killed since the beginning of 2018.
One murder, of course, is too many.
I wonder how many non-trans women have been killed since the beginning of 2018.
Ben, another crucial question is how many of them were killed by, or because of, radical feminists? My guess would be none.
Ben, decided to see if I could check that out. Didn’t find the actual statistic for 2018, but did find some interesting things.
First, if you google the question how many women killed in 2018, the first several articles all deal with trans-women. That in and of itself is interesting.
What was more interesting was a fact checking article on a claim that 3 women were killed every day in the US by an intimate partner. The conclusion was: 2.5 women are killed on average every day by an intimate partner or former intimate partner; a third of all women killed they do not know if there was a relationship, so that number may be higher than the verified 2.5.
That’s just the women killed in domestic violence. It doesn’t include the women killed by strangers, by misogynists, by random acts of violence, or by other means.
The number would average out to 287 women killed so far this year.
Did they leave their tiki-torches in the trunks of their cars?
Really? Sort of like the Bundys with their rifles?
Gobsmacked. ***Pride Bats*** ?????? But by all means, let’s do an “art” exhibit about this because it’s only women. So, meh.
As iknklast says, who were the 7 killed by? Women? I’m betting not. When you’re angry about Thing A, but beating up People B there’s a name for that. Scapegoating.
And when your scapegoats are women, there’s a word for that too. Misogyny.
