Men do not have the rights to say what they want if women are offended

I don't agree with you at all.

In America, yes, freedom of speech covers basically everything.

In most other places though (lots of europe, and Canada), freedom of speech does not cover everything. I don't really see the benefit in being free to verbally degrade someone... and that applies to everyone. Also, as with everything, there is a line where what you are saying crosses from acceptable to unacceptable.

But stalking is predictive of escalation into violence, as is street harassment

-_- Is she seriously comparing catcalling to somebody that follows you around everywhere, leaves a message on your phone every 5 minutes and is watching you sleep through the window? Because that would be stupid.

Yeah, we should all fight for the right to verbally harass people. This is what the men's rights movement is all about, empowering assholes. /s

You would hate it if a woman openly harasses a single dad in park with his kids, but you don't see a problem with men sexually harassing women in public? Talk about double standards....

Let me know how yelling bomb on a plane in flight works for you.

Shouting "FIRE" in a movie theatre, or "BOMB" in an airport isn't freedom of speech. That's freedom of instilling panic. Freedom of speech is there so everyone can convey their own ideas and opinions. Whether or not there is fire in a movie theater, or there is a bomb or not on the plane isn't an opinion, it's either factual or non-factual. Basically these people are arrested for shouting immediately harmful lies, rather than opinions.

You can edit your posts, so you don't need to send 2 replies to someone

That thread was so depressingly full of ignorant morons who actually take offense to insults (ie children) and rampant misandrists telling my penis and mind are effected less by harassment than a vagina and women brain. And Fucking feminists argueing to me that they are inferior physically And mentally fucking idiots I could not believe it
