Feminist bake sale ends in rape and death threats?

It's ironic that for something that was held at a university, none of them researched the topic.

Having said that, to threaten someone with rape simply because they are selling cupcakes is outrageous. If someone is being ignorant, you should laugh at them and walk away; not threaten to kill and/or sexually abuse them.

Sorry, not catching your drift here.

Pun. It's an insult meaning insane, this thread is about cakes, and it's also sometimes used as gay slang.

Okay. So what the bake sale was based on was wrong. It was based around charging one gender more than another gender and treating genders differently is by definition sexist.

But you know what I hate worse than sexism?

Rape. And death. Like I would much rather someone make a disparaging comment about men than to rape or kill me.

Men's Rights Activists make some good points. They have definitely pointed out a hypocrisy in the conversation about sexism. Great. But you know what hurts their cause more than anything?

Guys like that. If this was about a bunch of guys saying they walked up and said they identified as left-handed, lesbian Micmac Indian lawyers and demanded free baked goods in an attempt to point out the hypocrisy and lack of internal consistency in the opposing beliefs, I'd have highfived them and laughed at their clearly more defensible position.

But until an MRA bake sale receives rape and death threats for any sexist acts, I've gotta say that this particular group of feminists were in the right here. Their bake sale was ill-conceived, but being offered expensive baked goods is not worse than having someone threaten to kill and sexually violate me.

Yes it's a moronic cake sale, but what prompts someone to be so angry as to threaten rape and murder? Utterly bizarre and disturbing.

The threats are mostly from trolls, you should know that.

And that somehow justifies it does it?

It doesn't.

Don't get triggered.
