AWWWWW! Just when I was beginning to admire you for your thought provoking posts!
Yes , Burr is funny, but the guy has some real anger issues with women. Wonder what mommy did to him. Maybe he finds it easy to get his comedy material, because he is a jerk, and women have figured that out!!
We don't all belong on Pedestals, but we also don't All belong to "Sociopaths Anonymous" I am not even sure Jodie is a sociopath. She has never had any prior history of this type of behavior---This was like a One Time Deal--Obsession might be a better word for a Mental break of some kind. NOT that she is excused for her actions.Never!
I have a question: Why do some women tend to generalize anything said about a women to all women?
How do you get from what I described as "benign sexism", the tendency to give undeserving women the benefit of the doubt -- that is treating Jodi Arias as a member of a group rather than a sick and twisted individual regardless of gender -- using the cliched metaphor of "putting on a pedestal" to a claim that I think women belong to "sociopaths anonymous"? If I'm talking about a particular kind of person, do I really have to qualify in every instance that I am not talking about all people? Or do I only have to do that when talking about a particular type of woman, which I think Burr was referring to as well.
If a woman recounts a tale of abuse at the hands of a man, is your first response to her "Pttft! Not all men are like that!" Then why do you do that when Burr is talking about his screwed up relationship? Trust me, what Burr is describing, that belittling chipping away is a form of emotional and psychological abuse. As a guy who was once in a relationship with a Borderline Personality, you have no idea.
Burr talking about his personal experience gets rewarded with a claim that he has anger issues towards all women? Really?
I suspect if Bill Burr had a vagina and was talking about men, you would say "you go girl". That's the benign sexism I was talking about. And that's why, as much as she deserves the death penalty, more than most men on death row, Jodi Arias might yet get a pass.
It's a bizarre sort of group identification when I talk about sociopathic women and you key in on that as though I'm busting on women, rather than busting on sociopaths.
It does explain something I find rather bizarre. Watching the HLN talking heads there are still some that are backing Jodi Arias' claims of being abused. One, just tonight repeated the canard that Travis Said in the "sex tape" that he likes 12 year old girls. The only reason I can find for that sort of willful ignorance is that these women are doing that calculus that it benefits women as a whole if claims of abuse are accepted without question, even when they are spurious, and if there's a dead guy in the mix, that's a sacrifice they are willing to make.
I dunno, maybe sometimes "anger issues" are justifiable.
The state or the jelly?
