Truck tailgate makes other drivers think woman is being kidnapped

[gxm]

"Today's climate of violence against woman"???? I think MoveOn.org may want to brush up a little bit on world history and maybe take cultural anthropology class or six. There has never been a better time for woman to be in the world, especially in the US, ever. jmo

Hard to believe anyone would think this type thing is acceptable! Hopefully the tailgate cover manufacturer WILL stop making such garbage.

I'm not going to get into it deeply since, imo, it's way OT for this thread, but that quote is way out of context. At the first link it's in the context of active war/conflict area. The point being that civilians, primarily woman and children, are now at great risk is war zones when previously it was the military personel. There are tons of reasons for that, but it's hardly "violence against woman." It's violence that impacts woman. It's also got absolutely nothing to do with the US. Which is where this happened, obviously.

Violence against women is a serious problem everywhere. It's a problem globally; and it's a problem nationally. It is completely on topic to discuss this incredibly important issue on an OP about a realistic truck decal that shows a bound and gagged woman thrown into the back of a pickup. And it is especially relevant on a crime board where we are all too familiar with cases of kidnapped, assaulted, and murdered women and girls.

brad kolb, has not even said “i’m sorry”. he actually stated publicly he will not apologize for his horrid decision to put that decal on a truck in waco, tx.. he had the driver drive around waco for a month before social media picked up on it and brought just attention to this pervasive #rapeculture we live in. the actions of social media pushing this to the forefront of the msm is what forced him to burn the decal on local news in san antonio, tx.

since he burned the decal, the comments on his facebook page boarder on criminal and support the concept that violence against women is a joke. he has banned anyone who dares express outrage over his misogynistic, shock and awe tactics and mentality.

this is a direct quote, posted under hornet signs facebook page.

You know, I was behind a wrapped car yesterday, on the freeway...I did not for even 20 seconds wonder if there was a baby under water in the car in front of me. I knew instantly it was a wrapped car

Good, what he did wasn't illegal, either making the decal or putting it on a vehicle. I'd react awfully strongly to being treated like a criminal for something that was perfectly legal and a matter of personal expression. Whatever he has coming next, I look forward to seeing it. I'm sure it'll make quite the statement.
