Wild tells the story of every woman’s least favorite game: ‘creep or normal guy?’ - Kristen Page-Kirby (via misandry-mermaid) This is such horse shit. No, I’m not going to “play this game” where I demonize and entire population and instill irrational fear, and perpetuate this constant fear and victim hood in women. Literally, you could swap “men” out with any other demographic and people would call it out for what it is - fear mongering. Why are we telling women that they should be shaking in fear of literally half the population? This is so counter productive and not helpful to anyone involved at all. It’s TRASH. (via littlebifurious) The core fallacy here is to compare a “creep”, which is stated as being a murderous rapist, and a “normal guy”. State them as a binary either-or, two groups that stand side by side. This creates an illusion that the two groups are equal and interchangeable, a fifty-fifty split on the odds. Rather than acknowledging that any given interaction with a man has less than a one-in-a-million chance of turning out the way that OP suggests. (via true-justice-moogle) Gentlemen! Let’s play a little game. I call it “Terrorist or Muslim”.



The way you play is you have less than a second to decide whether a Muslim you don’t know is a threat or not. If you identify a normal Muslim as a terrorist you could get called a racist; if you identify a terrorist as a normal guy you could end up dead. This is fun, isn’t it? Now play it every day, with nearly every Afghan person you see, in nearly every situation you’re in, from the time the planes crashed into the Twin Towers to … well, it’s October 3, 2015 now. Can someone tell me when I can stop playing?

And before you say something about “changing the recipe changes the outcome” or something along those lines, men are people. Muslims are people. This is not apples to oranges, this is red apples to green apples.
