It’s inapplicable. Equality in that construction means equal opportunity and fairness. What you’re arguing for is petty-B sharing of stereotyping and counter oppression. It’s not a good look. |
Right??? |
I'm a white woman and I agree with you absolutely. |
SHE NEVER, NOT ONCE, SAYS IT’S HER BIKE. The guy who reserved the bike has the reservation on his phone. |
The video doesn’t show who had the reservation. It’s also edited. |
Seems like a nerve was struck. You identify as white, per your words. You relate to this woman. You’re mad bc you’re worried about being lumped in with the numerous white women who have cried wolf. You don’t have to worry though, even if you’re lying you’ll still receive help, sympathy and the benefit of doubt. People will rush to help you. Unfortunately, those of us who cannot identify as white don’t get that benefit. But that’s our f’ing problem. |
Not a good look for who? The people who spent centuries oppressing others and now faced with the question, doesn’t it suck to feel what oppressed people are going through. Or the people asking, doesn’t oppression suck. |
It harms your argument when you act as if white women aren’t subject to appalling rates of sexual assault, violence and harassment (which while not as high as the even more appalling rates for biopic woman is still sucks.) this white woman sucks but did something absurd and racist but you take away from that with your glib take on how great white women have it. |
I wouldn't be surprised if this entire thing was fake and they were all in on it. She was clearly not afraid. It's possible she reserved a bike before the camera starts--like before she came out of the hospital and legit thought it was hers because they both reserved at the same time. It's also possible she's a POS and is crying wolf. It's also possible, and IMO most likely, they were all in on it and made the whole scenario up as some sort of public commentary experiment. |
I watched the video and I have no idea what I just saw. I’m so confused by everyone else’s confidence. |
You are having a different argument and trying to deflect. The argument is white women are being lumped together as “Karen’s” the way other POC have been lumped together forever whenever someone does something negative. So I’ll ask again, it sucks to be lumped all together right? |
Exactly. I hope she loses her job and possibly her license. She doesn't deserve the privilege of working in healthcare. |
Have you ever used citibike before? A lot of posters seem confused about the situation, and I wonder if that’s because they’re not familiar with the app and haven’t done the bike share before. It seems like people defending her, saying maybe she was confused and thought it was her bike are definitely not familiar with it, or they’d realize that argument doesn’t hold water. She didn’t reserve it, she didn’t unlock it, she couldn’t possibly think it was hers. For the poster who said it’s sort of like she tried to jump into a taxi someone else was waiting for, I’d say since he already activated it, it’s more like she tried to take someone else’s Uber and stick them with the bill. I wonder how many people she lied about in the past and tormented. She tried to bully these guys but they stayed calm and cool and called out her nonsense, and most importantly got video of the situation. Even with a video there are still people trying to say she didn’t do anything wrong. She’s lucky there weren’t any marines around feeling threatened by her yelling, touching people, and swiping their phones. |
I don’t see actual proof of any of this because of the editing, is the thing. |
This. |
