Classic conservative move, they immediately understand the problem when it applies to them but cannot or will not generalise to others
Can you even imagine his response if a gay man had approached him the same way? Dude would be on the 6 o'clock news crying into the camera while covered in blood.
That's more of an idiot move.
Who's got the time to tell the difference?
Sure- conservatives aren't all idiots. Some are assholes
The Venn diagram between those two things is basically a circle at this point.
What has this got to do with being conservative?
It's just someone being an ass, I don't understand how their place on the political spectrum even gets thought about.
I find this a lot on social media. How there is such venom towards whatever the other side is that it becomes all encompassing.
Or am I totally missing something here?
Edit: the American masses don't like their world view being questioned it seemed.
It's not just "anyone being an ass is conservative!" This type of misogyny is very much a conservative thing. They've made it part of their ethos.
Right, but the post didn't mention anything political, so why bring it up? I find the obsession with US politics tiring.
Lack of empathy, especially towards women, is generally associated with conservatives due to the current political climate. Whether or not that's got any truth to it, I couldn't say.
