6. "... by indicating, the way harassment on the street does,

... that this is not their world."

And that is what so much of everything is all about. It's what porn and "risqué" jokes in the workplace are about, just as a for instance that comes to mind.

And it's what all excluded and marginalized groups experience. It's what anti-Muslim cartoons in Danish newspapers, gleefully reproduced around the world, are all about, too. This is not your world. It is ours, and we are going to make sure you know it and remember it.

But you know, it's really all about the rights of the dominant "in" groups. Their freedom to do whatever the fuck they want, and in particular to say whatever the fuck they want to and about the excluded and marginalized groups. Free speech, baby.

It's just so very, very odd that what they so often want to do is marginalize and exclude.
