Alberta tarsander puts up misogynist billboard

[mentalfloss]

The perpetually offended need to get over themselves.

This story strongly reminds me of another one where Sony had to take their billboard down.

Big deal....it's 2015.

In a way, this makes perfect sense as gender equality is considered a lower priority when compared stamping out racism.

We are only now catching up to that part of white male privilege.

 

[petros]

It's 2015, anyone a put up a sign of their choosing. No white privelege there white boy.

 

[mentalfloss]

Yes you are naive.

 

[petros]

Go to bed dad, you're drunk.

I made my point, not my fault if you're too stupid to see it.

 

[mentalfloss]

There was no point made.

Geez Flossie, that nationwide commercial that refers to a product called "Spreads" as a "she" must drive you mental. lol

 

[mentalfloss]

I rest my case.

Some things like this are offensive and others are tongue in cheek.
This is tongue in cheek lighten up for heaven sake.

 

[mentalfloss]

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.

Considering the source this is exactly the kind of garbage I expect to see

It's a mad mentalfloss thread. Standard fare for him these days.

Anyway, regarding the upset women, beta males and those that are gonna tell on the company and all...

"pro-lifers" are usually conservatives, they generally support the death penalty and jack off to going to war (not themselves, but sending other people's children overseas) and ejaculate a false sense of security all over themselves.

Wow... you're pretty dumb.

are u serious? lol, you support zionist israel and i have no doubt you'd all be for the death penalty for a murderer, stop talking.

silly *** hypocrite.

And an anti-Semite bigot at that!

Great poster.

I like this one, too.

says a "pro-lifer" who gets offended by the idea of women having a choice over their own bodies. some self awareness please.
