Eli Bosnick had the best response to this ridiculousness.

“If I gave you a bowl of skittles and three of them were poison would you still eat them?”

“Are the other skittles human lives?”

“What?”

“Like. Is there a good chance. A really good chance. I would be saving someone from a war zone and probably their life if I ate a skittle?”

“Well sure. But the point-”

“I would eat the skittles.”

“Ok-well the point is-”

“I would GORGE myself on skittles. I would eat every single fucking skittle I could find. I would STUFF myself with skittles. And when I found the poison skittle and died I would make sure to leave behind a legacy of children and of friends who also ate skittle after skittle until there were no skittles to be eaten. And each person who found the poison skittle we would weep for. We would weep for their loss, for their sacrifice, and for the fact that they did not let themselves succumb to fear but made the world a better place by eating skittles.

Because your REAL question…the one you hid behind a shitty little inaccurate, insensitive, dehumanizing racist little candy metaphor is, IS MY LIFE MORE IMPORTANT THAN THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF MEN, WOMEN, AND TERRIFIED CHILDREN…

… and what kind of monster would think the answer to that question… is yes?”

never forget y’all used it here in #YesAllWomen. i’m a huge feminist and I disagree completely on Trump’s stance but y’all gotta remember you were using the same phrase about men

Syrian refugees have NOT been terrorists. Men as a general get treated as potentially violent because that saves us, it keeps us safe.

There isn’t a war zone and these people are DYING.

Like, colour me fucking shocked that a man who proclaims he’s a “huge feminist”, fucking gag, doesn’t understand what the fuck women are talking about or understand the difference between the two situations.

Context matters.

When the skittles represent men, choosing not to eat them represents choosing not to go on a date with an unknown dude. When the skittles represent refugees, choosing not to eat them represents ignoring people while they die.

HUUUUUUUUGE fucking difference.
