        Remember when he claimed his daughter used to be the most precious little gay stereotype and his best friend…

        and she came out and said “Not only was I not like that, he doesn’t even know what I was like because he’s a neglectful douchebag who literally wasn’t in my life much.”

      Are we not past the era of “it’s just a joke” yet? It was malicious. Nobody writes a response like that without the intention that is clear on its face. He 100% intended it as a crass, chauvinistic putdown for a woman that “dared” to express her opinion. He absolutely needs a reality check, but he is also a piece of shit that just sees women as walking incubators for him. Let’s not waste oxygen defending him from that core aspect of his character.

        Anybody with any intelligence is for sure past the “it’s just a joke” era because they understand the context of such comments and how they have been and still are used for control & suppression of woman’s voices by giving them pause next time they might speak up. Unfortunately there are still people that are either so thick as to not understand this, of such low intelligence that it does not even register or are willfully and actively using these methods of abuse and supression themselves. Sadly some of them have a lot of power, money and reach. Others are just pathetic, sad, losers that have zero clout and just rant on forums about how “it’s just a joke”. Either way they need to be called out for it!

      This is the type of shit that’ll get you fired from a job. But CEOs can say it without losing their position or their popularity among their weirdo fans.

      “… he needs to get his teeth kicked in. I’m not advocating violence, …”

      You are advocating the need for violence rather than advocating violence itself. That is a clever argument.

      Isn’t this just sexual harassment? I hope that at least if they ever end up in the same venue her security keeps his creepy stalker ass away.

    Dumb shit. The first amendment guarantees that the government will not punish you for this you say. The first amendment does not guarantee that you will not get your knees broken by an NFL player or mauled by a pack of angry Swifties. That juvenile brain of his is going to get him hurt one day.

    Sexual harrassment like this is a political tactic to prevent women and other marginalized folks from doing or saying things in public that might shift the balance of power or affect things. It is an attempt to punish and threaten people and deter others, so that wealthy white guys will be the only ones who are allowed to be active in public.

    Maybe this is obvious and goes without saying, but I’m saying it because I think some people may not see the pattern or the intent behind it. This is so much more than one creepy comment and more than Taylor. See also Nina Jankowicz, gamergate, the several high profile woman politicians who have resigned. Smarter people than me have written and talked about this and how it has manifested in different forms. Online sexist harassment is an organized political force with a goal. It’s not just that this one guy sucks.

    Elon probably has this fantasy where he is the single best impregnator in the whole planet and females are queuing at his door to get impregnated so he can save the planet by spreading his genes. He probably also has an alien version of this where aliens come to earth for the sole purpose of asking Elon to donate some of his genetically advanced sperm by having sex with some super hot aliens.

    It’s because he’s such a nice guy. Deep down he knows all his kids would be better off being co-parented by Swift and their bio mothers. He can barely remember they all are. They’ll be happier without him in their lives.

    He’s not threatening at all. What is this nonsense? It was a mean dumb joke.
