“Hard-On for Death, Not for Justice” By Claudine Clark
Recently, we received a comment dripping with ignorance and bile: “The voters of Florida support the death penalty, you know democracy…. Majority rule? Your wetting your panties doesn’t change That.” This isn’t an argument. It’s a tantrum. It reeks of fragile masculinity, of men so insecure they can’t confront ideas without reducing women to some cheap sexual insult. When defenders of state killing talk like this, they don’t sound like champions of democracy. They sound like schoolyard bullies desperate to feel powerful, clinging to executions as if blood on their hands could make them men.
