    In reality
    Monday international women's Day. Great
    Tuesday the vast VAST majority of people support a black woman. Disgraceful man loses job because he doesn't
    Wednesday - woman's body is found after going missing a week ago.
    Thursday - nobody blamed the woman. Don't lie
    Friday man is charged. Don't lie and say the woman was blamed she wasn't
    Saturday - ACAB protest banned. Nobody mentioned a kitchen
    Sunday - mother's day

    Why the need to add in blatant lies to make some fcu.ked up point? Who has blamed Sarah everard for her death? Show me who has blamed her as you have said they have

    You think the vast majority of people supported Meghan Markle? They really didn't.

    There are loads of people on social media blaming women for anything that happens to them. If you've been on any social media over the last few days you must have seen it.

    Clearly the "back to the kitchen" was hyperbole. I thought that was obvious. There are many people with very similar sentiment though.

    "What on earth was she doing walking on her own after dark. Isn't there a lockdown too? She shouldn't have even been out".

    I'd say that's a fair spot of victim blaming that's doing the rounds S.T.

    I haven't seen those posts to be fair. In fact I've been surprised that I haven't seen them but that's probably because I don't use Twitter of Facebook in general. How many people are making those comments though? Enough to say 'the uk'?

    Yes I do think the vast majority backed Meghan markle. It was the usual pillock's who didn't, a large amount of them because our media has conditioned them to hate her but still a minority of people judging at the very least from reason on here wouldn't you say?

    The post was titled "This week in the UK". Victim blaming has happened in "the UK" this week. So yes, it's factually correct.

    But just because you haven't seen them doesn't mean that they don't exist.

    No, someone is just a bit pissed off that it's considered ok to blatantly make up lies and try to paint everyone as evil. Do you actually believe that barnsleyreds post is accurate? That the majority of people blame Sarah for her death? That the majority of people said get back in the kitchen?

    It's harmful posts like that which push a false agenda and create divide when we need unity

    Women rape babies.

    Acceptable to post? Because it will have happened somewhere in he UK. In reality we both know it's a crazy and shocking post that has no credibility whatsoever

    If we’re talking about blatantly making up lies I never said or even implied that it was the majority of people in the UK.

    As it was explained to me by a woman this week.

    If I was to say to you I do not like fruit then the implication is that I do not like fruit.
    If I then say oh but I do like apples, bananas, pears, oranges, grapes, strawberries, peaches, kiwi fruits and cherries but I don't like pineapple you would look at me like I was a bit thick because even though I didn't say it I implied I didn't like all fruit.

    When you say this week in the UK and list things with generalisation you imply the majority. You didn't mean this week In the UK, you meant this week a tiny tiny percentage of people in the UK

    Christ.

    I'll leave you to it, because that's obviously comparable.

    Have a nice day.

    Meghan Markle isn’t black. She’s mixed race.

    Exactly. It's ok to make an absurd comment when it suits but not when it doesn't

    Stop being daft. Like I said, have a nice day.

    I know you'll reply because you like the last word, but I won't be responding.

    The saddest thing about Meghan markle is that I reckon if it wasn't constantly pointed out to us by the media I bet most wouldn't have noticed her skin colour. She's American, I'd just assume she's naturally more tanned

    I really don't think it does imply the majority at all.

    When the Millwall fans attacked Barnsley fans at Wembley, it was widely reported (rightly) that "Millwall fans attack Barnsley fans" - That doesn't imply that it was the majority, it clearly wasn't.

    If there's a pitch invasion at Oakwell, it's correct to say that "Barnsley fans ran onto the pitch" without meaning that the majority did.

    But if you weren't implying large numbers and the general consensus then what was the point in the post in the first place? If you meant a small small number of idiots then what was the point?
