Far Loony Left: "People should be allowed to exist as long as they don't harm others." Standard Right: "Gays should be drowned." Centrist: "See, both sides are the same."
Jared, a 'centrist', in the article and how he puts in the words to basically say "I don't like women who think too much and don't want to be treated as property."
Then the next paragraph, they understate Emily, who is basically saying "I shouldn't be murdered at a traffic stop because a cop is having a bad day and doesn't like blacks." to "She said she worries conservatives don’t believe the same things she does about respecting racial differences or social causes."
I keep wondering how big of an incel problem BYU has due to the Mormon ethology of what a family structure must be and the servitude of females to the primary male. (Not talking about polygamy as that is supposed to be gone and was actually a reason one of my forefathers was kicked from their wagon train because he didn't want to take on another wife.) But just how the man's word in the family is law. So, the women seeing this might not want to get trapped like that which basically is like dry kindling to the fire that spreads incellism.
Spending 3 weeks in bed with COVID before the vaccines existed made me super risk adverse to people and especially people coughing. You have no concept of how long a week in bed is, let alone 3 of them. The long nights in pain. The long days just wishing you could get through the enormous headache to rest and sleep. The powerless feeling that you can't even sit up enough to do anything you have previously enjoyed. Heck, I still remember my son bringing in my copy of Cyberpunk that just came out and I didn't even have the energy to turn on my laptop on my lap to install it. Even when I got COVID again 2 years later and it was just a couple days in bed, I get super pissed off when people belittle it and the people who try to stay away from it.
Just last Saturday night, I was out shopping and some lady was walking around with a "smoker's cough". I tried to stay away and not go back into places she had been. When I got in line to check out and got stalled in front from a lady with a huge cartload and the cougher got behind me and started hacking her brains out, I just abandoned my cart and left.
I am not spending that many days of my life being sick again like that if I can ever help it. So when I say that YOU NEED TO REPRIORITIZE YOUR EMPATHY. Take that to mean that if this wasn't on a forum that I need to talk nice-nice, I would not be talking nice-nice.
It just seems like good business sense to me.
So great that this is what HN is now... sigh
That reason?

Even in my small town of 7000, an Indian lady was assaulted to "get back at those Chinese for giving us COVID (which doesn't exist and is just made up by the lame stream media)".
There is no monetary benefit that would ever make me cross that line.
Yikes.
