News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Honestly, I don’t really have a huge problem with using the tactics that regressive assholes use against said assholes. The article itself points out and directly quotes this woman’s anti-trans proclivities, so I see no issue with treating her in the same exclusionary and diminishing fashion that she would treat others. Conservatives do not learn fucking anything until and unless it hits them in the face.
I don't think more misogyny will hit them in the face, they approve of it. You'll just be lowering your own level.
Nah. I’m just refusing to fall victim to the paradox of tolerance.
Tolerance of what? Women?
Fascists and bigots.
Dog, I'm not saying she's a good person, but by forming your anger to her in the shape of misogyny, you're normalizing misogyny.
I don’t entirely disagree with your point because she is a gross person, but using misogyny against a woman you don’t like signals you are a misogynist to other people you may be more aligned with.
It’s fair to point that out. But at the same time, I refuse to be respectful to someone who holds a worldview that is intrinsically disrespectful to specific people based on their identity. I get that some will be offended by how sharply I might interact with a regressive, vapid quim, but I think it’s important to refuse any sort of grace, respect, or tolerance to intolerant psychologies.
