SYABM #comic 14 “A Thread Divided”

I don’t actually know if Red and Blue were actually male or female. But I didn’t want to go with two women or two men, and I only have one androgyne on tap. Red was later promoted to mod of that forum, and I stopped arguing with “him”, just in case.

Feminism is a rather diverse movement whose adherents generally act like it’s a monolith when promoting it, but get upset when it’s treated like a monolith for negative criticism.

Heck, many feminists don’t even like to acknowledge other feminists disagree with them. Take Christina Hoff Sommers, who many feminists call an anti-feminist conservative (GASP!) because she often criticizes and disagrees with mainstream feminism. The Geek Feminism Wiki treats the term "I’m a feminist but…" as some sort of trick or chicanery intended to silence other feminists.

A movement whose members aren’t allowed to openly disagree with each other is on a path that leads ever down into stagnation, because they don’t want to jeopardize the in-group. And if they try to discourage external criticism as well, it’s pretty much eating it’s own tail, especially if actual problematic members are No True Scotsmanned out of the group.

Sometimes before they even know which members you’re talking about.

So to make a long story short, my brother is getting married and last week i organised my brothers stag weekend. we rented out a narrow boat and had a pirate themed weekend.  one night we decided to go ashore for a night on the town. it was on this night some drunk person decided he didn't like me and decided to assault me. after the altercation, this person was taken away by the doormen and handed to the police.

i was fine, just a small nose bleed. seems the guy was so drunk he couldn't aim.

after the incident i regrouped with my brother and after he found out he went spare and wanted to take matters into his own hands. after calming him down and having a talk about it he said to me.

"You're my little brother. Nobody messes with my little brother!" 

it was this sentence that made it clear to me how much i mean to my brother and how much he means to me. 

thanks big bro, you mean a lot to me.

For those who don't know the history between Hawaii and the US, Hawaii was annexed by the US in 1898, 43 years before the US joined the war.

I feel like they don’t pay attention in history class…

Oh my god. We live in a time where we can get an answer in a split second, and you didn’t even bother to google that shit. This person had time to make a post and tag it, but didn’t have the time to educate themselves on Pearl Harbor before doing so.
