Imagine getting used to privilege so much

Pumbloom · 2017-04-25T06:57:40+00:00

Of course fucking Jessica Valenti tweeted this.

If the guy followed only women, then he would still be a sexist.

Lokimonoxide · 2017-04-25T08:00:13+00:00

"Stop looking at my fucking phone."

William__F0ster · 2017-04-25T05:49:27+00:00

The guy next to me on the subway was checking Twitter; he followed almost all the same people I did but NO WOMEN. Passive sexism is for real

I think Valenti meant to say "Aggressive dishonesty and stupidity are for real."

It is literally, physically impossible for to have learned all that by rudely poring over the smartphone screen of a guy next to her.

It didn't happen.

She has just lied brazenly and thinks no one will notice.

Mythandros · 2017-04-25T08:21:07+00:00

Let's look at this objectively. So... she was violating someone else's privacy by spying on what he was doing. If the roles had been reversed.. she would have called him "creepy" and who knows what else? Yet it's okay for her to do it? Double standard much?

Secondly, she was judging him for what he was doing with HIS OWN twitter feed. If he had done the same to her.. The sjw brigade would have crucified this guy. Yet another double standard.

Thirdly... it never happened. She is making shit up in an attempt to boost her already irrelevant existence and to stay in public view.

Lastly... who cares what this stark raving lunatic has to say? I don't.

fengpi · 2017-04-25T07:45:11+00:00

This is kind of old news. The idea that she could see everybody in his list from looking over his shoulder is rather ridiculous. But life does have a certain simplicity when you automatically think "dick = sexist." A simplicity that even Ms. Valenti can appreciate with her room-temperature IQ.

HahnchenVonSchnitzel · 2017-04-25T07:02:48+00:00

So he is a sexist, despite following "almost all the same people" as a feminist writer. Huh... I can't follow this logic.

Could it be that the man doesn't want to read a barrage of tweets like the one in the OP? Is that too difficult to fathom?

I have about 3 females in my music collection, is that passive sexism because their higher voices don't really appeal to me in music? Or maybe I and my experiences just relate more to the lyrics sung by male artists. Shocking.

Prologue11126 · 2017-04-25T09:44:46+00:00

if he was following only females would be sexist too right?

PM_ME_BATCH_FILES · 2017-04-25T12:42:19+00:00

Being able to worry about petty shit like this is the real privilege here.

ThePigmanAgain · 2017-04-25T09:22:01+00:00

He probably didn't follow any human/swine hybrids, either, but you don't see me complaining.

youreallmeatanyway · 2017-04-25T10:50:07+00:00

Jessica Valenti

Why am I not fucking surprised

reddedo · 2017-04-25T12:23:55+00:00

so what's she trying to say? we need some kind of quotas on who we follow on social media, on our own time?

as an IT guy i follow a lot of people on social media. most of them are male, but that's pretty much how the folks in IT tend to be. the field tends to just interest men more than women. i really don't care about the genders of people i follow, only if they have some worthwhile to say.

i think part of the problem is when someone recommends me people to follow by their gender, like 'check out this chick's channel, she's all about technology' and the page is just about someone, who calls themselves 'tech mistress' etc. and regurgitates old computer related stuff, while the fanboys drool at her because it's a woman reading the old news.

Shadoe17 · 2017-04-25T10:40:17+00:00

Even though this is obviously a fake post, let's analyze it a bit.

If he follows no women, he's a sexist. On the other hand, if he followed mostly women, or at least a lot of women, she would call him a sexist for stalking women on Twitter. So basically she thinks all men are sexist because they are men, but she's looking for a way to justify her bigotry so people don't realize she is the actual sexist in the conversation.

I believe they call this trait "projection".

srikarjam · 2017-04-25T10:57:02+00:00

Bitches like this need to kept in isolation from the rest of the society.

Phoebesgrandmother · 2017-04-25T12:09:57+00:00

So she only follows men on Twitter?

bbegilli · 2017-04-25T12:10:15+00:00

I hate those people who peeks at other people's phones on public transportation. They are the worst.

CardMechanic · 2017-04-25T12:23:23+00:00

Why is she snooping his twitter? Stalk much?

danimalplanimal · 2017-04-25T12:46:48+00:00

she should learn that active sexism is bad as well, also hypocrisy.

DJMikaMikes · 2017-04-25T13:35:36+00:00

Did she check all of his followers or something? It's a bold claim to make.

maniclurker · 2017-04-25T13:39:50+00:00

Has to be a lie. Dude would be following at least one chick that posts ass pics.

NoobSailboat444 · 2017-04-25T13:57:20+00:00

Is she joking?

chambertlo · 2017-04-25T23:12:18+00:00

So, she was looking at a strangers phone while he was privately doing something, and the problem for her was that he didn't follow any broads? Typical diseased feminist logic.

Chipdogs · 2017-04-25T08:42:05+00:00

This is possibly the most spoiled white girl sentence I have ever read in my entire life

visualspeak · 2017-04-25T15:37:04+00:00

Yea, fuck that guy for following people he has stuff in common with.

mandel17 · 2017-04-25T12:47:20+00:00

The title of this thread should be "Women Are Still Nosy".

SpeedDart1 · 2017-04-25T12:52:45+00:00

This is why I'm a liberal, but not a feminist.

bathrobehero · 2017-04-25T10:47:04+00:00

I'm blown away on multiple levels;

why does she care about twitter?
why did a post about twitter made it here?
usual, dumbass and ignorant but still shocking behavior.

Revoran · 2017-04-25T11:08:58+00:00

Are we surprised? This is Jessica Valenti, she is one of the most hypocritical, attention-seeking, man-hating, professional-victim feminists out there. She's one of the worst examples of a popular feminist. Even lots of feminists want nothing to do with her.

JackBond1234 · 2017-04-25T11:56:29+00:00

"LOVE MEEEE"

Ninjetik · 2017-04-25T12:11:42+00:00

So RUUUUDE Jessica. Twitter analysis by proxy? Maybe it was his male-only account.

matrix2002 · 2017-04-25T13:17:29+00:00

I bet he only follows women on instagram though, so win win.

Ceratics · 2017-04-25T13:33:21+00:00

It pisses me off that so many racist tweets towards white people get so much support along with misandrist tweets.

Doctor_YOOOU · 2017-04-25T13:34:57+00:00

Maybe they just weren't tweeting

OneJanglyNut · 2017-04-25T14:11:31+00:00

I don't follow any women. I get tired of body positivity rants, sexuality rants, rants against me and people like me just for existing.

Pretty much if you post anything more than pictures of tools and construction projects i unfollow.

I have had any concern i harboured for social issues beaten out of existence by the news media and ladies i used to follow on instagram.

BetterBadIdeas · 2017-04-25T15:17:32+00:00

Better question is how long were you creeping staring at this poor guy that you were able to discern that? Isn't prolonged staring like that supposedly sexual harassment?

pickles12341 · 2017-04-25T15:18:20+00:00

Jeeze, screen peeking much?

chrispdx · 2017-04-25T15:20:40+00:00

What I want to say back is: WHY ARE YOU BEING SUCH A NOSY BITCH? WOULD YOU APPRECIATE SOMEONE LOOKING OVER YOUR SHOULDER AT YOUR TWITTER READING?

Blutarg · 2017-04-25T15:33:59+00:00

So Jessica follows very few women.

Aspie-ju · 2017-04-25T15:36:34+00:00

Hilarious

XanderPrice · 2017-04-25T16:10:30+00:00

Active sexism, like this, is even worse.

fucdat · 2017-04-25T16:30:00+00:00

Maybe he was abused by a woman. That's why I stay off lady social media

TattooedWife · 2017-04-25T16:44:16+00:00

How about you mind your own fucking business?!?!

NotTheFriendliest · 2017-04-25T16:48:54+00:00

2015

I guess I can hope shes ded now

Ontrus · 2017-04-25T16:57:06+00:00

I wouldn't bet on Jessica Valenti even getting such basic facts right. Reason and logic do not seem to be her strongpoints, no doubt the concept of statistical significance is too complicated for her ideologue "journalist" brain.

_Shadez · 2017-04-25T17:07:34+00:00

What a fucking joke.

danimalplanimal · 2017-04-25T17:19:41+00:00

so maybe you're sexist, since it seems like you're putting value in following people for no reason other than their gender.

panonarian · 2017-04-25T17:28:59+00:00

Can you imagine your movement being so small and weak that you have to resort to being mad at who a person follows on Twitter. Can you imagine your belief system being so insignificant to where that's all that's left to be mad at.

Electroverted · 2017-04-25T17:31:51+00:00

What a nosy bitch.

Greg_W_Allan · 2017-04-25T17:38:46+00:00

I've always assumed twitter users to be shallow morons. I've learned nothing to change that view.

SleepingSlave · 2017-04-25T18:19:52+00:00

If the tables had been turned and he was creeping on her phone the whole time, she'd have called the police and said he was a rapist / stalker.

Amazing how that works.

jimmyvcard · 2017-04-25T18:39:05+00:00

Whoa, i just googled her twitter feed. This chick stinks. I love the thread about how Serena Williams is going back to tennis and the response was "Are men also able to do their jobs after becoming dads ? Can't wait to read to find out !"

I don't really know where to start. I guess by saying maybe this would work if a male PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE had some kind of significant abdominal procedure? Maybe knees? That seems like that just may be a fair story god insufferable bitches.

blfire · 2017-04-25T19:04:14+00:00

Is this real? I really don't think that this is real. It really sounds like she is trolling.

Eternasphere · 2017-04-25T19:25:26+00:00

But women have so many interesting things to say! Her tweet is evidence of it!

Masterpass · 2017-04-25T20:05:56+00:00

This doesn't work at all.

If he followed almost all the same people she did, that means that she predominantly follows men, given that he supposedly followed no women at all.

Secondary to that, how the fuck did this creeper get a good enough look at his phone to explicitly state that he followed no women? I'm well aware that there's a 99% that this harpy is just trying to stir up shit like she usually does, but who on earth would actually believe that she was able to analyze, in its totality, the fucking Twitter feed of some dude on the subway, and conclusively find that he follows no women?

And lastly...assuming this guy was following a lot of people...that's a WHOLE LOTTA gender assumptions there. Good going ~~lady~~person with feminine qualities, you're really sticking to your moral guns there.

Ms-Anthrop · 2017-04-25T20:13:50+00:00

I don't know about you, but some stranger reading over my shoulder at my phone is pretty damn rude.

liquorandkarate · 2017-04-25T20:39:49+00:00

baiting insecure people into following her

-Bob_Saget- · 2017-04-25T21:33:36+00:00

You know, the actual tweet itself isn't so surprising, but the fact that so many people are retweeting/favoriting it is what hurts so much.

nuesuh · 2017-04-25T21:50:45+00:00

If you don't follow women on twitter, you're sexist?

No, you're sexist because you're male. It literally doesn't matter what you do or don't do. The threat of being called "sexist" doesn't exist, because you'll be called that no matter if you only follow a handful of women on twitter, or puts a lock on the kitchen door to prevent your girlfriend from leaving.

You might as well subjugate women. There's no penalty for being sexist, only rewards.

how people deny that feminists are mentally ill is beyond me

UDT22 · 2017-04-26T05:45:46+00:00

Why the fuck is she looking as his Twitter account? Talk about nosey. Valenti is a fucking looney tune. She belongs in a padded cell not on a subway.

R_Lupin · 2017-04-26T07:15:43+00:00

Isn't Jessica Valenti a porn star?

TheSOMT · 2017-04-26T14:12:18+00:00

I though Valenti and her feminist friends respect the supposed "right of privacy" that they suggest is somehow found in the Constitution. She would do well to stop spying on people, even if they are men.

McFeely_Smackup · 2017-04-26T17:11:07+00:00

take a look at her twitter feed, it's pure poison. She is a very angry person.

minuswhale · 2017-04-26T20:36:28+00:00

Maybe he's gay. Is it taboo to be only interested in men? Wow, talk about homophobia.

Rethgil · 2017-04-26T21:36:35+00:00

Imagine no longer. Privilege is reality for modern women.

omegaphallic · 2017-04-26T23:02:10+00:00

What fuck is she doing reading his phone like that, did she go through his personal contacts too, find out how often he calls his mother?

Someonedunno · 2017-04-25T13:57:10+00:00

Hmm the tweet (if real) was "tweeted" in 2015, although it is "morally questionable" what she did (looking at another's screen), so kinda picking at straws here imo.

I personally think what she did was wrong, ignorant and, childish.

kittypadding · 2017-04-25T17:15:05+00:00

(I'm sorry if this seems stupid or meandering, I just typed it all up to vent and didn't want it all going to waste. I feel like somebody can appreciate this message.)

I don't understand why not liking the content or whatever that a specific demographic tends to present somehow has any connection to the actual race of the person. There are patterns to be seen in any given community, and that's not something we thrust upon them or anything, certain communities which oftentimes form based upon race or nationality promote certain things among themselves. It's not racist to say that White Americans usually eat fast food or eat in inexpensive sit-down restaurants, especially those that serve burgers, pizza, and the like, assuming they even eat out in the first place, yet somehow it's racist to say black people display a preference for things like fried chicken and hot sauce, almost as if the stereotypes motivate them to eat this way. There's nothing wrong with it, and there's no way to get around it, so why not live with it?

It is very likely that nobody I follow is black, and very few are women, because I am in a niche art community where people are mostly anonymous and very few that have revealed their race are black. I don't like the music they typically produce because they almost always listen to odd Rap songs. In terms of bodies, whenever I like bodies at all, I really prefer clean-shaven, really light, pale thighs which is something Black people can't manage, I've never heard of a pale black person. This does not mean I'm racist, for example. It should be very clear-cut that to be racist, somebody has to have an outstanding problem and blatant prejudice against a Black person, and then there's actual offending racism which consists of insults and violence. Just because racism is not a deal-breaker does not mean one is racist (I'm sure people in support of certain controversial politicians agree with me here), and just because I don't like a black person's creations or body does not mean I am racist.

I'm sure you're wondering why I'm bringing up racism here, but that has almost the exact same criteria as sexism, just switch a few words around. I can almost never stand a woman's voice, American women almost always sound horrible, be it because they're too high-pitched, over-enthusiastic, or what not. Compare Tana Mongeau or god forbid somebody like Rihanna for example to Bob Ross or Pyrocynical. They just can't come up with anything as good as the deep, soothing voice of a man. I dislike the usual demeanor of Women compared to others in general, but this still doesn't mean I'm sexist. I don't want to do anything that is a detriment to them unless our sexual dimorphism absolutely necessitates it.

As somebody who regularly denounces their own culture and feels like a fish out of water, I genuinely can't understand why anybody would associate themselves and identify so bloody heavily with their skin colour, their nationality, their gender, their sexual orientation, or anything. Is that really what you want to be known by? You're a woman, and you want to uphold privileges for women? Why don't you want to be known for you? And if not for you, what you can bring to the table. It's almost as if these SJWs and snowflakes are so rotten to the core that they have nothing else to identify with, nothing else to uphold so they stay loyal and valiantly defend their one thing. It's clear that most are talentless, featureless, rotten bastards so they have to stick something else in their profile descriptions and whatever, just so they have some meaning. Thus they show their true bitterness by cherry-picking and making noise over even the slight notion that what they identify with is even slightly inferior. Take this from a homosexual of many ethnicities; You'll save yourself a lot of headache if you don't give a shit. I can listen to gay jokes all day and unironic use of the word 'faggot'. It doesn't bother me, because I have something going on for me, I have myself to identify with and my own unique things to bring to the table. A personal attack is a personal attack, but any -isms are not.

It is truly ironic, isn't it? These SJWs are dwindling and becoming hated, but they wouldn't have started declining if they didn't run rampant.

TheHeckWithItAll · 2017-04-25T15:12:05+00:00

Hey OP - I don't get it. Why the f**k do you give a rats ass what she says or thinks?

CakeNStuff · 2017-04-25T20:21:00+00:00

Passive stalking is REAAAAL.

40kfreak · 2017-04-25T15:39:11+00:00

What's this got to do with men's rights though, she's not disputing that he can follow whomever he wants, she's claiming who he follows is telling.

kinda odd to be staring at a strangers phone though wtf

Fucklebutt · 2017-04-25T12:57:34+00:00

What's this "privilege?" Is having equal rights (something women don't have, by the way) considered privilege?

JiiJiiPee · 2017-04-25T13:20:37+00:00

Thank god mensrights is on the case again! This tweet oppressed me irl
