Federal Agents sexually assaulted Jennifer Kristiansen at Portland Mothers Protest.

women do not enjoy watching their police boyfriends hurt innocent civilians.

 

Interesting article.

But, it probably won't matter to the Pro-Trump Crowd which is going to keep going around in circles saying that her accusation isn't credible.

Not much to add at this point.

The Pro-Trumpers can have at it and continue to assassinate the character of the accuser.

Not much left to add at this point.

 

And some of them enjoy it a little too much, if you know what I mean.

*wink wink*

*nudge nudge*

 

Why would we accept her accusation as credible without proof?

Do you accept Tara Reade's accusation as credible without proof?

Would you hold us to a different standard than you hold yourself?

 

Who says?

 

As far as I can tell, "body" is one of the favorite new buzzwords of race-based critical theory. Brainwashed college kids can't seem to shut up about "black bodies" and such. For example:

NYT - Black Bodies, Green Spaces

And by way of explanation, read this article: What’s up with all the body talk?

This particular case (of the arrestee) was just another idiotic Marxist trying to mimic goodthink through vocabulary.

 

Cults often develop their own unique vocabularies and language styles.

It's part of the process of developing a hive mind of groupthink

 

Those particular buzzwords seem more dehumanizing than other possibilities, to me, anyway. Nevertheless, I truly believe in the 1st amendment so people can say whatever they want to say.



My father used to read a poem to us titled "Desiderata". Part of it is...

Admittedly, some people make it VERY hard to do. ;-0

I couldn't access the second article but thanks so much for responding.

 

No argument from me on either point. It seems idiotic to me, but they're certainly entitled to continue referring to people as "(insert race here) bodies" if they want to.

It's certainly something worth keeping in mind. Thanks for sharing.

I actually thought the second article was a great explanation. It was hard to find the "close" button on the pop-up at first, but it is publicly accessible, so I hope I don't violate any rules by spoilering the text here:

Spoiler: What’s up with all the body talk?

SOCIAL-JUSTICE ACTIVISTS don’t just think that oppression damages the soul. More and more, they zero in, at least rhetorically, on disadvantaged people’s bodies — on “female bodies” and “black bodies,” instead of women and African-Americans.

An article in The Nation describes racism in medicine as “a modern problem built on the legacy of slavery, reproductive oppression, and control of medicine and black bodies.” A recent Teen Vogue article discusses society’s “feeling of ownership over female bodies in general.”

This usage of “bodies” is now mainstream enough to turn up in the Hartford Courant, where a recent opinion piece described the NFL as “a sports league that is as good at silencing black bodies as it is at exploiting them.” The Washington Post’s review of “Black Panther” argues that “American cinema was born on the backs of black bodies.”

As a political statement, the word “body” does a complex job. Half a century ago, the Berkeley activist Mario Savio famously described the university as a corrupt machine and urged student protesters to “put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels.” The abortion-rights movement has emphasized women’s autonomy over their own bodies.

More recently, the emerging usage of “bodies” is closely associated with Black Lives Matter, whose website describes “a world that harms and dehumanizes Black bodies.” Since the movement began with protests against police shootings of African-Americans, the bodies in question weren’t merely figurative.

Referring to people as bodies is a reminder, writer Elizabeth Barnes says in an interview, that “racism isn’t just about the ideas that you have in your head.” Barnes is the author of “The Minority Body: A Theory of Disability, The Girl Behind the Wall.” In intellectual discussions, theories about social oppression sound almost disembodied; “we talk about prejudice,” Barnes says, “like it’s just a matter of ideas.” The point is to emphasize the physical violence done to black people through slavery, lynching, and police brutality. In the case of women, the term “bodies” highlights “what happens to women’s bodies in health care contexts, in sexual contexts, in reproductive contexts.”

Other scholars stress that women, African-Americans, and others have suffered because their bodies are different from those of white men. “In early science, ‘black bodies’ and ‘female bodies’ were specifically discussed in how they deviated from the normative ‘male body,’” former Wheelock College professor Akeia A.F. Benard, now the curator of social history at the New Bedford Whaling Museum, said via e-mail. “‘Disabled bodies’ are envisioned and discussed as if they are deficient instead of in a way that highlights marginalization and lack of accommodations.”

In the blogosphere and on social media, the increasingly conspicuous use of “black bodies” and “female bodies” has brought out critics, some of whom bemoan the ivory-tower origins of the terms. “I’ve been noticing a very annoying new usage, wandering in from the academic world, of referring to people as bodies,” one LiveJournal user writes. On the Philosophy Meta Forum, a writer complains, “Referring to people as ‘bodies’ is in-group signaling from critical theorists and the other humanities rubbish that comes from them.” One Twitter user complains, “Please stop using the term ‘black bodies’ when you mean ‘black people.’ It isn’t the same thing.” Declares another: “People think they’re being so deep when they say ‘black bodies’ when they are objectifying us more!”

For now, though, “bodies” seems to have staying power as a metaphor. After all, everyone has a body, even if not everybody understands what other bodies are going through.

 

I was able to access it the second time. The article does explain it well. I just cannot believe that we, as a society, cannot figure out a way to stop labeling people, PERIOD. Oh, I meant stop labeling "bodies". ;-0

 

And that's the thread.

 

I was wondering when the sexual assault claims would be starting. Surprised it didn't start sooner. Unless there is evidence, I'm going to be dismissing it all.

 

Fully believable with the level of this crew, but going to be hard to prove... Everybody in Portland needs to travel in pairs or larger until the SS leaves...

 

Ahh now you've made your prediction we can rest assure that this is as fake as it gets...Kidding buddy, well kindof.

 

And I see the fake news media is still heavily investing in the lie that these cops are not identifying themselves as law enforcement.

Who did she think she was assaulting?

 

You are the type of person that spit on the troops returning from Vietnam after the war, aren't you? These guys are doing their job, and you want to call them SS. Real cool. I guess you would spit on them the next time they stop a hostage crisis situation, or stop a terrorist plot as well.

 

This ain't Vietnam, sweetie..... This is Portland, Oregon, USA, where federal "troops" do not belong...

 

Says who? The judge ruled that it was all legal, so these federal personnel are there legally, doing their jobs to the best of their ability. What do you thin would happen to the Federal property there if there were no federal law enforcement? The Portland PD has been hamstrung.

 

And where the a local family owned business put a sign in their shop window begging Antifa not to hurt them.

 

The judge said the state didn't have standing, which I find bizarre.... If you are going to pretend to tell us the news, get it correct...

I have no problem with properly identified LEO protecting federal property... ON federal property.. Not these weekend warriors all playing Seal Team 6...

 

That is a stretch spanning across 1000 trillion light years to equate Contras or Argentine death squads or Central American dip schiest dictators to the Feds that are doing schiest out of their job description at the order of the Oval Throne. Your comparison is so wrong but it is an insult to Americans regardless if they support the current American Wannabe dictator or not. Wrong is just wrong and you are way wrong on this puppy.

 

Sadly the democrats are not able to counter this.

This is widely settled law, but some of the low acuity crowd are unaware of this.

I'd argue that's not anyone else's problem.

 

They are properly identified. Did you write their uniform standards? There you go again, insulting our brave and professional men and women in uniform. They are every bit as honorable and professional as our military, and are even more active at keeping us safe than the military is. Many of them have also served in the military, and are continuing to serve our country in uniform.

 

Yeah.. you sure you spelled Antifa correctly on the sign?? Better double check...

 

People are waking up.
