@alphafox "Do you know who my father is?" The police station is the perfect place. The system logs will prove the scam they tried to play on this driver.

@AntiWokeMemes I would not 'advise' her on anything. Some problems come with the solution already baked in.

@Mike_Vall_ @Amelia558rs @Amelia558rs is a click-baiter and a rage-baiter in a sheep's costume - essentially a x-troll in disguise. She'll open doors to rooms she has no intent of entering and raise topics she's entirely unequipped to intelligently discuss.

Kate is placing her ignorance on full display. Her trope is a myth or exaggeration, often circulated in activist or decolonial narratives to contrast pre-contact Indigenous societies with European colonizers.Historical and Anthropological Evidence Sexual violence, including acts that align with modern definitions of rape (non-consensual sexual penetration or assault), existed in many pre-Columbian Native American societies across North, Central, and South America. While evidence is fragmentary—due to the lack of written records in most groups, reliance on oral histories, archaeology, and early European/Spanish accounts—anthropological and historical sources indicate it was not unknown. reddit.com Variations across societies: Indigenous groups were extremely diverse (hundreds of distinct nations with different social structures, from egalitarian to hierarchical, matrilineal to patrilineal). Some societies may have had strong cultural taboos, severe punishments (e.g., banishment, execution, or social ostracism), or lower rates of sexual violence, especially in certain egalitarian or matrilineal groups where women held significant power. However, "did not exist" is an absolute claim that doesn't hold. Intertribal warfare, raids, and personal conflicts sometimes involved abduction of women, sexual coercion, or assault.reddit.com Evidence from sources: Early colonial accounts (while biased and potentially exaggerated for propaganda) describe instances of sexual violence among Indigenous groups. Archaeological and ethnographic studies of various tribes show patterns of violence against women in some contexts. Modern analyses, including by Indigenous scholars, acknowledge that sexual assault occurred pre-contact, even if it was not systematized as a "weapon of war" in the same way Europeans sometimes used it during conquest.journals.kent.ac.uk +1 Rape culture vs. individual acts: Some defenders of the claim argue there was no "rape culture" (normalized or glorified sexual violence) in many Native societies, and that colonialism introduced or intensified patriarchal structures, warfare tactics involving mass rape, and legal systems that failed Native women. This has truth—European colonization brought devastating sexual violence against Indigenous women (documented from Columbus onward), and today Native women face disproportionately high rates of sexual assault, often by non-Native perpetrators. But this does not mean rape was entirely absent beforehand.publichealth.columbia.edu Context on the Claim This specific tweet from Kate Kelly (a lawyer and activist known for her role in the "Ordain Women" movement and progressive causes) in 2020 echoes a romanticized "noble savage" trope. Similar statements appear in some feminist or Indigenous activist writing, sometimes citing figures like Buffy Sainte-Marie (who later faced correction on related points). However, discussions in history-focused communities (e.g., critiques on platforms like Reddit's r/bad history) and anthropological reviews label the absolute version as ahistorical. reddit.com Many sources emphasize that violence against women increased or changed form under colonialism due to introduced diseases, displacement, alcohol, disrupted social norms, and deliberate use of rape as a tool of domination and genocide. Pre-contact societies were not utopias free of all interpersonal violence; human societies universally have had issues with sexual coercion throughout history, though cultural responses varied widely.In short: Sexual violence was likely less common or differently conceptualized/punished in some Native nations compared to certain European societies of the era, and colonialism exacerbated the problem dramatically. But the claim that it "did not exist" is false. It's an oversimplification that ignores the complexity of pre-contact Indigenous histories.

@EyesOpenNoFear @Emily_660 IMO I don’t think women are mentally ready for a relationship until they’re 30. Men even older. However I have seen both sexes mature at earlier ages it all depends really on life struggles. But coming from my experience I won’t date a woman younger than 26.

People who post these memes in support of those operating outside the law seem to think it's a flex to declare two or three decades of presence here. it's not. if someone can make two or three decades here, and wants to call America home, then they can work through the system to legitimize their presence. no bullshit. no excuses.

@anon52309417 @Emily_660 You are a absolute riot. Did you **REALLY** fail to notice should could not answer my question? And you suggest she has some "idea". Not only has she admitted she has no idea - she literally hasn't got a CLUE.
