[FStubbs]

So I'm guessing she's actually a member of the alt right doing this to discredit the progressive movement by creating a straw man type article that someone like Bill O'Reilly can tee off on.

 

[ClosingADoor]

Fight for equality by striping rights from people is not really the way to go, even if it might give you (short term) results. It will only breed more divide.

 

[benicillin]

Now let's just wait for a whole lot of people complaining about this silly article and taking it way too seriously.

 

[grumble]

Stuff like this gives so much ammunition to the crowd who talk about 'SJWs' and use the word 'feminist' as a slur. It is tongue in cheek, but still cringeworthy.

 

[Deepwater]

Guys it is satire

not only that, it's about South Africa.

 

[sphagnum]

As she points out, the Democratic Alliance winning white voters is part of the problem

Oh you

 

[Flo_Evans]

How about no.

 

[Squalor]

Came to the comments for salt.

I now have hypertension.

You guys are so predictable.

 

[Conciliator]

omg a secret huff po alt right double agent I knew it

 

[Eidan]

Guys it is satire

No one will pay attention. Best to just let this thread burn.

 

[Gutek]

100% for it. White men are a scourge.

 

[Slightly Live]

This is fuel for alt right idiots and extreme feminists alike.

And a dumb idea. Then again, sounds fun.

 

[Knox]

Better results and I don't even have to vote? Sounds good to me!

 

[Netherscourge]

If you give me a Switch with BotW, I'll give up my voting rights for 1 election cycle.


Deal?

 

[highrider]

Would like to see the term white male replaced with Whitey Wilkerson. Otherwise I'm fine with this.

 

[Stinkles]

Can we just have another forty years?

 

[radios shipping overview]

Shelley Garland is an activist and a feminist and is currently completing an MA degree in philosophy. When she’s not gagging at South Africa’s unique brand of rainbow politics, she’s working on ways to smash the patriarchy.

White feminism is a hell of a drug.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

Try and stop us ;3

 

[Squalor]

I mean, if we think of the world as a car and white men as the drivers for most of modern human history, this many accidents, breakdowns, fender-benders, and flat-out wrecks would be more than enough cause to revoke the driver's license.

 

[ginger ninja]

Even if a large number of people of one group are voting against anyone else, that is literally how voting and democracy fuckin works.

The world isn't a car.

 

[Mohonky]

Guys it is satire

Honestly with some of the things Ive seen posted around the internet I dont even know that satire works anymore, someone out there will be thinking 'well actually, this IS a good idea'

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

The number of angry responses and people who clearly did not read is both hilarious and disturbing

 

[Linkura]

This is going to get A LOT of people riled up. I THINK it's satire, but it's not stated as such anywhere.

 

[Phrozenflame500]

i mean personally i could not possibly see anything wrong with this idea whatsoever. there's no way such a thing could backfire in any respect.

 

[cheststrongwell]

White men!!!!

 

[benicillin]

The thinnest skin of all.

 

[Deepwater]

Even if a large number of people of one group are voting against anyone else, that is literally how voting and democracy fuckin works.

guys this isn't the thread to die on the hill of validating white malehood

 

[Squalor]

The world isn't a car.

Got one.

You're lucky I play catch and release, though.

 

[NullPointer]

I expect this to be emailed to me from my mom in the coming days as evidence for her "war on white people" fever dreams.

 

[benjipwns]

wow, we're making jokes about women and their capability with cars now?

 

[ZackieChan]

Yeah lets go with this rhetoric

Surely it will win Dems the white voters for 2018 and 2020

I believe it's called "doubling down."

 

[wandering]

Even if a large number of people of one group are voting against anyone else, that is literally how voting and democracy fuckin works.

What is the tyranny of the majority~~~

 

[Sianos]

I invoke the strongest argument, an appeal to "freedom of speech" in defense of this article! The author is legally permitted to say these words!

I have no defeated all possible rebuttals to this article, because if you oppose the views espoused in this article, it means you oppose freedom of speech itself!

Spoiler

Wait, no, that's actually a stupid argument

 

[Veritigo_X]

We aren't supposed to talk about this on a public forum...

 

[Deepwater]

what are the odds that "this is the reason trump won" will appear in this thread before page 5?

I'm willing to put fiddy on it

 

[Squalor]

Yeah lets go with this rhetoric

Surely it will win Dems the white voters for 2018 and 2020

Or let's just go with the rhetoric of blaming liberals for racist people's being racist.

Yeah, that works.

what are the odds that "this is the reason trump won" will appear in this thread before page 5?

I'm willing to put fiddy on it

We didn't even get to 50 posts.

wow, we're making jokes about women and their capability with cars now?

Hm...

I really hope this is facetious. Otherwise, your reading comprehension could use some work.

 

[F0rneus]

Not sure if satire or just really stupid article. In any case, at the very least, I'm glad it was written just to see some Trump voters reactions!

 

[ZOONAMI]

Even though this is satire, I would be ok with this as a white male. We've had our time.

 

[Flo_Evans]

Guys it is satire

What position is she satirizing? Is there anyone seriously advocating we don't allow black women the right to vote?

....

[Rayis]

Some of them cannot handle women and minorities having equal rights, stripping them of their vote would be a disaster because they'd violently revolt and they happen to own a lot of firearms, it wouldn't be pretty.

 

[benjipwns]

As the author points out, if white males couldn't vote, Trump probably wouldn't have won.

 

[NandoGip]

Lol obvious trolling/clickbait. It's hypothetical, don't think the author truly believes this could happen. Then again, I could be wrong.

 

[ZOONAMI]

Republicans (primarily white males) and voter suppression? Heard of it?

Edit: sry didn't see the link

 

[Jakoo]

Welp, conservative media didn't take long:

http://dailycaller.com/2017/04/13/huffpo-blogger-calls-for-us-to-deny-white-men-the-right-to-vote/

http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/huffpost-deny-white-men-right-vote

It's just wild to me how there is a cottage industry for fringe opinion pieces to get published, only to have their signal boosted by fringe responses pieces, going round and round until the end of the day when no value is generated whatsover.

 

[benjipwns]

jesus http://www.debate.org/opinions/should-women-be-allowed-to-vote

We are too emotional I am a woman (aged 30), and I have to agree that we (women) are too emotional and not rational or logical enough to have the right to vote. Most women are intelligent but we allow our emotions to take over and we don't often think straight. I have never voted because we should not have the right to vote. Men are often naturally more level headed, rational and logical and understand politics better that women do.

Posted by: Julie83

why should I listen to you Julie83, you're too emotional to think through this issue clearly.

 

[Deepwater]

As the author points out, if white males couldn't vote, Trump probably wouldn't have won.

really makes you think

Uh yeah. Hell, I've been told that I shouldn't be able to vote because I'm the child of non-white immigrants.

Welcome to America.

She should visit Arlington and see that rows of white male graves that stopped the Nazis and the Imperialist Japanese.

Spoiler

[ldcommando]
