"One Facebook poster, Faye Hamilton, thinks the billboard sends the wrong message about violence against women."


I don't see how it sends any message about violence against women. It's about sex.

I hear ya.

I'm personally not offended by it, but that also just means I partly forgive misogyny in this case because of my upbringing in a white privilege household.

Also, how offensive this is or what is to be done really depends on how many people react negatively to it and what they are willing to do about it.

Anyone that reacts negatively to this add is just out looking for a reason to be butthurt.

These people who keep banging on about violence against women always ignore this simple fact: the vast majority of violence is perpetrated against men.

ironically that's really what pro-lifers are.

Here's a little homework for you.

  • Look up Ironic
  • Look up Pro
  • Look up Life
  • Find out how many people Gerryh killed
  • While you're at it check out "sweeping generalizations"
  • Sit down and think about your statement
Then come back and qualify it.

You drank all the kool aid didn't you? Was it cherry?

If the company does not want to take it down, there is nothing to be done about it regardless how many spineless twerps are offended by it. It is not against the law.

Suddenly, Conservatives don't like being told they want to be entitled to their entitlements.

Seriously? So misogyny=White privilege? Fascinating. So NO other men are misogynistic, just Whitey.


Did you ever wonder what your life would be like if you had gotten enough oxygen at birth?

Actually, the hypocrite would be you and your ilk. I am anti death penalty, always have been. I also don't believe innocents should be murdered just because they happen to be an inconvenience to their "parents". The choice to get pregnant is made when they choose to have sex. Birth control should not include murder. While you and yours have no problem allowing these innocents to be killed, all the while crying about adults bering killed. You all have no problem with Israeli's being killed, but god help anyone that lays a finger on a Palestinian.

Useless fu cking piece of shyte hypocrite.

this dummy thinks sex is solely for procreation and that abortion is murder, hahahaha.

Of course not, but the term 'White privilege' is to underscore the historical context and the term actually applies to those who are not actually white as well.
