yet they're outcasts of society because they defy the stereotype of love - which is considered, according to holier-than-thou pundits "between a man and a woman." Also sad, is that most of the time - while there are some homosexual couples who don't get along either - the whole "man and a woman" thing is a bunch of fairy-tale bullshit, which is expressed in the second panel with the approved couple.
I'd be more sympathetic if people here didn't act like they knew what they were saying when they were saying something very much wrong.
Commenter Brendan Rizzo is an American (still living there) who really, really hates America. He used to make posts defending his country from anti-American attacks but got fed up with it all.
It doesn't concern you, Sister, that kind of absolutist view of the universe? Right and wrong determined solely by a single all-knowing, all powerful being whose judgment cannot be questioned and in whose name the most horrendous acts can be sanctioned without appeal?
Being required by someone else’s religious beliefs to behave contrary to one’s sexual identity is degrading and disrespectful.
B) The Titanic is an anomaly, otherwise women had generally low rates of survival, crew members had the highest. Also, such thinking was part of the whole 'chivalry' paradigm, which also justified refusing women the vote.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were: "If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches. Tingly!
Wait, wait, wait. Who actually said that burning someone's house down and poisoning their dog is okay? That image just looked like some nonsense one would find on an MRA site. What garbage.

What garbage.Reminds me of a situation where one time a woman got slapped once, and in retaliation tied him to the bed while he slept and burnt the house down, which was somehow justified retaliation. Mind you, I heard this by hearsay and it really seems more like a good story than a real event.

And even if it were, it sounds like no more than an isolated event. I can think of dozens of outrageous cases in terms of criminal law, but such cases do not in anyway represent the norm. That is why the cartoon posted here is such an awful strawman.
