Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is assaulted by a protester during her first town hall meeting in her district of Minneapolis amid ongoing tension and protest of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations. The protester jumps out of his seat and charges the representative before reportedly throwing a substance on her. This came following her call on Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to resign.

It’s going to keep escalating. Wonder when this will mirror the Caning of Charles Sumner.

    Since any word referring to the male gender gets interpreted in the creepiest, most damning and uncharitable way imaginable.

    Great time to be alive as a man, we’re really smashing the patriarchy /s

    This is not a healthy world view. I’m done with this conversation, have a good night.

      It’s not a healthy state that the world is in. I’m simply diagnosing it (one of several problems, of course).

          Taking issue with someone describing a generic term for men of a certain age group as “creepy, misbehaving, often drunk,” and “touches himself too much” is incel adjacent? Or is it noticing the trend where that sort of thing is becoming more common?

          Or you could preemptively block me because you know what you said is an undefendable stance and you don’t feel like admitting that?
