75. They Got Caught, omega
I have written on this pseudo-"liberal" bigotry against sprecifically white women before, on other threads, and so will only go over a few points on it.

First, they always whine that it is "not important" and "not news," even though they are stories about violent, unsolved, even covered-up crimes. They never use words like "raped and murdered," but use bizarre phrasing used on no other group, such as "blonde white chick went missing," "blond white damsel in distress surfaces," and other insults. They did not "run off" like "sluts," as implied; they were raped and murdered, and male authorities now prevent the cases from being solved, and the guilty arrested. I thought that was a kind of oppression; guess not. "Lynching...?" Guess not, if it is "merely" a white woman. They whine, "Why is this trivia on GD? Why isn't it in the Lounge?" There are threads on the rape-murders of children in Iraq by U.S. soldiers, and no one whines, "Why isn't this in the Lounge?"

Sometimes, they put a horrific "face" on it: I'm not against white women, I just want black people to be covered by media--??--as if the "dead white chicks" are the oppressors of black people, and "preventing" coverage. They whine that other cases are not covered, as if the "white bitches" arranged their own rape-murders, just so they could get famous, and annoy everyone. Sometimes, these woman-haters are so pre-programmed, that they give the same "Why are we covering this trivia, rather than male stories?" before they even know what a story is, as when this Warren Jeffs was arrested. There was a lot of coverage, whining--"It's bitches again!"--and then they finally learned that this is a violent, mind-controlling cult, with rapes and arranged marriages of girls, people held against their will, many fraud crimes, etc., etc. Oh.

Bigotry against women masks as many things: 1) nobody cares about your trivial issue; 2) you are taking away valuable time that could be spent on males; 3) you don't know what real bigotry is, only males do; 4) some combination of "you are frigid/loosen up/you are trying to tkae everyone's fun away," that whole attack; 5) an attitude that pretends that white women are "privileged," because white males are, like we are their property, maybe? It contrasts "important" issues with the "white chick" deaths--"But people are dying there!"--yet treat the beating/rape murders of white women as trivial. It refuses to criticize the moneymaking male media that exploits dead, raped white women with a combination of dismissive contempt--"entertainment/not serious"--and pornographic leering, with pictures and details. Nobody here criticizes that; they attack the dead white woman no one helped when she was alive, even when they have personal protection orders, call the male police, etc.; no, they attack the women themselves, and anyone who calls attention to their bigotry.
