A disgruntled Florida mom started a petition, urging Toys R Us to pull Breaking Bad action figures from it’s shelves. After a tense few days, the toy store caved and pulled the toys. Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul have since responded, with the latter taking aim at both the mom and the store. Pop Trigger discusses.

All of the hosts are making the argument for the Muslim requirement for women to cover up, actually comical. Look, we are of the animal kingdom, we are males and females, it’s going to happen. Interesting a woman would actually cut her hair to avoid this, but won’t just cover up to avoid it. Women need to understand, men think about sex 80-90 percent of their day. It’s in our nature to mate, and as much as we can. When men see most women, regardless of looks, he will think about mating, it’s just life. There are those men, and women, that will take it to the extreme to see if he/she will respond and accept the invitation. Then there are the predators that will make you do it, there are good people, and there are bad people, make your choice where you want to reside and in what environment, right?
I’ve never gotten cat calls except at bars, or passing bars, but then I live in Canada. To me it looks like these guys are not showing these women respect. The people who notice insults the most are those who are affected by them, this is true of all groups.
There was a big chunk of time arguing “is it only geeky white guys who will not assault women”
It boiled down to:
1. The guy host makes a bad joke about how women should only hang with awkward and geeky white guys
2. This joke logically makes no sense anyways – this isn’t about women getting cat called by people who they hang around with, if she hung around with a geeky white dude, she’d STILL get harrassed by total strangers.
3. This triggered lined another female host to react quite emotionally to the subject as she had an unfortunate personal experience from white men.
I think that joke was not only badly thought out, it was actually unnecessarily racially insensitive. It also derailed the topic quite significantly.
Saying that, I have to say from a guy’s perspective, is simply saying “hello” grounds for sexual harassment and cat-call? That line is extremely murky.
