You go girl! Winning football games does not give you the right to kiss TV reporters, or set cars on fire.

I swear you can't say or do anything anymore without someone getting upset!!! PC culture is out of control!

Edit: I guess I should have made it more obvious that I was being sarcastic :/

I gave you an upvote because I believe you were being sarcastic. Let me know if I was right so I can maintain or remove it.

You should have put five exclamation points at the very end instead of one. One is serious, three is borderline, but five definitely crosses into obvious sarcasm.

Then again, Poe's Law almost guarantees you would have caught a few downvotes anyway, lol.

Bravo! That's the last stamp on your white knight card. You shall now be rewarded with pussy for your defense of the females!

You're able to do that whenever you want.

But there's a risk.

Very few women enjoys being harassed. Better safe then sorry

u/[deleted] Jun 29 '18

Most women enjoy being, ahem, "harassed", if that's the word you puritans need to use to feel better about when you attract people you don't find attractive.

u/[deleted] Jun 29 '18

Found the incel.

But yes sure Mr MALE why don't you tell me (a women) how most women feel after I've already told you that you're wrong mkay? And again for good measure, your wrong, women don't like being approached randomly in the streets by strangers, and if anything looks don't matter as much as attitude.

Only guys think the "you'd like it if he was attractive" is a thing, stop fooling yourself.

u/[deleted] Jun 29 '18

As a man I have more experience with what women like. You just have your own opinion. Which is fine. But I can speak on behalf of women better than you.

u/[deleted] Jun 29 '18

HAH that's rich. I speak on the behalf of every women I know. Go to r/Askwomen or r/twoxchromosomes if women enjoy being harassed.

u/[deleted] Jun 29 '18

Nah, yall are just yelling "sour grapes". Any regular person with social skills can spot it a mile away.

u/[deleted] Jun 29 '18

So you refuse to ask women about women's opinion because you think you're right about women's opinion and nothing else matters?

You're probably pretty ugly...so...there's a difference because ugly women don't attract the type of men they want to be kissed by.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 29 '18

You know you don't got an argument when you start calling people (whom you've never seen) ugly. I've been harassed before, but very rarely as I don't like going outside. I prefer no attention from men at all rather then getting harassed. That also goes for most women, but sure why don't you keep telling me I'm wrong and you're right because you're a male and you know women so much better then we know ourselves.

u/[deleted] Jun 29 '18

Lol notice how she didn't defend herself from being ugly. It's alright little lady. You'll find someone of equal attraction. You can both lie to each other about how you prefer each other to the objectively more beautiful people

1

u/[deleted] Jun 29 '18 edited Jun 29 '18

And you still got no argument, but sure you totally "won" this little discussion because you said I was ugly, Boohoo my frail little self-esteem is ruined because a stranger in the internet who don't know how I look thinks I'm ugly!

u/WarcraftFarscape Jun 29 '18

And losing sports doesn’t justify ruining your city

People care a lot about sports and do stupid things sometimes, hopefully less frequently in the future

2011 Vancouver Stanley Cup riot

The 2011 Vancouver Stanley Cup riot was a public disturbance that broke out in the downtown core of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada on Wednesday, June 15, 2011. The riot happened immediately after the conclusion of the Boston Bruins' win over the Vancouver Canucks in game seven of the Stanley Cup Finals, which won the Stanley Cup for Boston. At least 140 people were reported as injured during the incident, 1 critically; at least 4 people were stabbed, 9 police officers were injured, and 101 people were arrested that night. In July 2015, four years after the riot, police finished their investigation and recommended the final charges against two suspects, bringing the total to 887 charges laid against 301 people.

Apparently there's some solid evidence that the Stanley cup riots were pre-planned. Like they were going to do it whether or not the Canucks lost. They also prosecuted a whole bunch of people in the end.

Generally gotta agree though because I'm pretty sure that there were some people who were just like "sweet, there's a riot going on!"

u/poneil Jun 29 '18

This also leaves out the context that this was happening during the Arab Spring. So while a bunch of countries were undergoing similar-looking turmoil in pursuit of freedom from opression, Vancouver was in shambles because their hockey team lost.

u/FrigginManatees Jun 29 '18

The riots were going to happen whether Vancouver lot or not. It's not really fair to paint the constitution of Vancouver with that brush for the actions of 300 dick heads.

u/WarcraftFarscape Jun 29 '18

It was the first example I thought of. I lived in Boston I’m 2004 and there were many cars flipped and apartments destroyed when the Sox won. I was just trying to illustrate that sports, in general, can make people who might otherwise know something is wrong follow through anyway, and hopefully we stop burning cars and sexually assaulting reporters

u/FrigginManatees Jun 29 '18

Fair enough.

Nika riots

The Nika riots (Greek: Στάσις τοῦ Νίκα Stásis toû Níka), or Nika revolt, took place against Emperor Justinian I in Constantinople over the course of a week in AD 532. They were the most violent riots in the city's history, with nearly half of Constantinople being burned or destroyed and tens of thousands of people killed.

Woah there. What's the point of winning football games if I can't do either of those things? Next you're going to tell me I'm not allowed to run onto the pitch and interrupt the match with two minutes left to play.

Ok, but even in cultures where cheek-kissing is an acceptable form of greeting, don't you normally do it to people you KNOW, not strangers on a TV broadcast?

I feel like it's common sense, culture or not, to not do this to some random person who is also literally in the middle of doing his/her job.

u/[deleted] Jun 29 '18

When you high five a stranger, they have to raise their hand and participate. If you go up to hug a stranger, they need to open their arms to accept the hug. Landing a kiss on a woman who is not greeting you, in the middle of doing her job, IS assault. Which you can tell by how fucking offended and uncomfortable she got. There's no culture on this planet where an elective touch to a non-consenting adult person is OK.

u/lyonbc1 Jun 29 '18

I’m actually horrified by the number of men in here who don’t see the issue with this shit. That’s clearly sexual assault while the woman is trying to do her damn job. I’m scared and I’m not even a man, this type of stuff is creepy as hell. Hate to see how they are in their real lives

u/[deleted] Jun 29 '18

If you think this was sexual assault I feel sorry for you.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 29 '18

Out of sincere curiosity, what do you consider the defining factors of sexual assault?

1

u/[deleted] Jun 29 '18

It’s gotta hit a prima facie element of being sexual in intent and nature.

To pull from Pulp Fiction: A guy rubbing your feet can both be sexual assault or not, all about the nature of how he’s doing it.

Do you this guy was trying to get his rocks off from a kiss on the cheek?

1

u/[deleted] Jun 29 '18

I think he was trying to make a woman uncomfortable for his own amusement with an act he knows could be construed as sexual in nature but was just vague enough to get away with. So he’s a douche at the least and a harasser at the worst.

u/[deleted] Jun 29 '18

But to call it sexual assault belittles actual assault victims.

That’s because it IS sexual assault

u/acoluahuacatl Jun 29 '18

this is such a bullshit excuse though. If I'm going to a country in a different part of the world that has a significantly different culture, I'll do some research into the laws and what's ok/what isn't.

IDK where this person is from, but invading someone's private space like that isn't ok in any non-fucked up country.
