    So because both sides wear pants, we can’t criticise what’s in their pockets?

    It isn’t about the physical act of putting a mask on. It’s about the massive hypocrisy of marching around claiming you’re the ‘superior race’ while being too terrified of public opinion to show your face.

    We can absolutely call them pussies for that.

      Seems like we dont really come to any conclusion here, because I dont really see the hypocrisy in that. Like genuinely. Might be because I mask up for protests/actions I attend and I never feel hypocritic about that. Like I feel I still fully stand behind my opinions and ideals and thats why I have a real hard time imagining how that would apply to others.

      Besides, why use sexist language like pussy? In my experience its mostly used to shame people for not adhering to a toxic masculine ideal, which is something we should get past IMO

        You mask up when you fight almost unbeatable enemy (gov). You dont mask up when you fight normal dude, girl, little boy.

            that’s fair. i wouldn’t generally use it here, but if someone was mouthing off at me and i knew that they displayed misogynistic behavior in general, i might go for the short form just because i’m sure it would irritate said person more.

            fortunately, the last time someone wanted an argument in public i just blew kisses as i cruised away on my etrike. it’s my favorite way to defuse, like, anything.
