Craft Beer is Sexist

Maybe the writer needs to throw back a couple and chill.

Does any normal person even pay attention to these accusations anymore?  Everything and everyone is sexist, racist, offensive, etc, etc in some way at least if you talk to the right thin-skinned individual.

[Andiron]

Any beer that causes outrage of those idiots tastes that much better.

[SADShooter]

First world problems, indeed. In an age when so many outlets exist to immediately broadcast unfiltered ideas, the impulse to garner attention seems to bring out the petty worst in so many craving an audience and validation.

As stated, crack open a damn beer and shut your outrage piehole for ten freaking minutes.

I really think the average person, even the average liberal, is getting really sick of it. However, when you have your large corporate employer for instance, caving to their outrage to avoid "micro-aggression", people are often forced to (at least on the clock), if not be sensitive to them, not be able to tell them to get bent.

One of the joys of retirement is not having anything to lose anymore and being able to tell them to get bent. Also what Andiron said.

By and large, I agree with the SJW that many of the labels and brands are in poor taste. Refusing to serve/carry the beers, refusing to drink them, sending cases back, etc. is the right and proper response. I appreciate a subtle in - joke as much as the next guy but they are crossing the line into middle school bathroom humor, and the market should bill them for their uncreative poor taste.  They will either get their act together,  or they won't. This is all exactly as it should be.

Only major craft brand label I can think of that's even slightly risque is Lagunita's Little Sumpin' Sumpin'. https://lagunitas.com/beers/little-sumpin-sumpin

I agree the market can decide. That is, of course, a two-way street. If beer drinkers like the marketing, the "offensive" labels should continue and the SJWs will need to suck it up. If enough people complain that they remove them, I'll need to suck it up and come up with funny labels for the beer I make myself. :)

Exactly.

I wouldn't mind a six pack of Raging Bitch, just for the labels.

Furthermore, I would go as far as saying that one could easily argue that Raging Bitch was empowering towards woman rather than dergotory and sexist.

The local breweries have some cute names and funny labels. I appreciate clever and fun when it comes to beer (and many other products)
Besides, since when has drinking and being a prude been activities that go hand in hand?

The SJW's are taking the fun out of everything they can.  Positive consent is now sweeping through college campuses.....

I hate SJWs. Bunch of freaking party poopers.

Hang on.  I need you to positively affirm consent to copulation and further, sign this affidavit.  After we notarize it and you take a breathalyzer to confirm you're not impaired by alcohol, fornication may commence.

If the notery is involved, this could get kinky...

Kinky sex is misogynist.  Missionary only, and equal time to the partners for whose on top.  Since ladies first is sexist, a coin must be flipped to determine who's on top first.

Flip a coin for the handcuffs

BSL and Jamis - as per the new APS regulations, please sign the consent contract. Please note the part that requires you to take a photo together holding the contract.

[Jamisjockey]

And why not put more participant signature lines on there?  Gotta protect people in threesomes, foursomes and orgies, too.

Honestly, I think said consent contracts might be a very very very good idea in many cases.

For what? They don't protect the male involved. All the chick has to say is that she changed her mind, and viola, he's a "rapist". And I don't think someone who is actually going to commit rape is going to abide by some contract, if they even sign it in the first place.

Contracts and written agreements are one thing in BDSM, but for casual hook ups, one night stands or regular old dating?

This is just another way to make sure woman are the eternal victims and men are always responsible for all the evils in the world.

Mind you, I'd be slightly less skeptical if the goal of protection and establishing consent of was equally applied to both genders.

Haven't been to a military training in a while have you? Positive consent is the law of the land. Pretty soon you'll need a notarized contract that states that she said you could ____ ____ ____ to her _____ ____ with your___ ___ __. :D

And remember kids, one drink removes ability to give consent and that goes for you married folks too.

Bingo.

I can three underscore her two underscore with my three underscore? I'll be in my bunk.

ding ding ding, we have a winner.

It's all about gaining advantage through victimization.

The Sexual Counter-revolution

The "progressives" spent the past few decades telling us to "progress" toward free love, with no boundaries; no rules. They now want their love locked down, contractual, safe. Even the homosexuals say they want to be married now.

How's that free love workin' out for 'em?
