Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is assaulted by a protester during her first town hall meeting in her district of Minneapolis amid ongoing tension and protest of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations. The protester jumps out of his seat and charges the representative before reportedly throwing a substance on her. This came following her call on Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to resign.

It’s going to keep escalating. Wonder when this will mirror the Caning of Charles Sumner.

      You even said

      Since when does unc have a negative connotation?

      And

      Nah bruh. The way it’s used is just you old and out of touch with culture now you old. It has nothing to do with creepy drunk uncles jfc.

      So clearly you understood the context, but you deliberately chose to misconstrue what I said because why? Do you get off on it or something?

        Since any word referring to the male gender gets interpreted in the creepiest, most damning and uncharitable way imaginable.

        Great time to be alive as a man, we’re really smashing the patriarchy /s

        This is not a healthy world view. I’m done with this conversation, have a good night.

              Taking issue with someone describing a generic term for men of a certain age group as “creepy, misbehaving, often drunk,” and “touches himself too much” is incel adjacent? Or is it noticing the trend where that sort of thing is becoming more common?

              Or you could preemptively block me because you know what you said is an undefendable stance and you don’t feel like admitting that?
