Woman Pretends To Be Deaf To Reject The Guys

VIDEO: Asian woman pretends to be Deaf to reject the guys trying it on with her on a night out goes viral on social media.





Metro: It seems one girl has finally had enough of the long process involved in rejecting guys on a night out.



When a young woman is approached by a stranger in a club, she starts using "sign language" in order to pretend to be Deaf. It appears she thought this would be a way to reject his advances, and it worked!





What should be a simple ‘Sorry, I’m not interested’ often turns into a lengthy attempt of explaining you either have a boyfriend, are engaged or even that you swing the other way.



Sometimes it’s because the guy interested in you is incredibly persistent but often it’s just because – in definite British fashion – we’re just too damn polite and scared of hurting someone’s feelings.



But this girl, however, is sick and tired of being polite and making excuses. So, she’s opted for for another way to reject their fellow clubber.



In a video posted to Imgur by user Tausif007, a girl can be seen turning a guy away with the use of sign language.



A brave move, but one that most definitely worked.



But it turns out, she didn’t actually sign anything – she simply waved her hands around.



One Reddit user commented: ‘I am a teacher for the Deaf and she did not sign a single American Sign Language. She would have been embarrassed if I signed back.’



So perhaps in future, it’d be best to learn the sign language before somebody does actually begin to sign back. Owned! Source

Deaf Mother Faces 'The Ugly Judgment of Society'

VIDEO [CC] - Deaf mother exposes the paralyzing double standards that mothers face 'The Ugly Judgment of Society' goes viral on social media.





AUSTIN, TX -- When it comes to motherhood, women face double standards at every turn. Deaf vlogger Michelle Lane believes these double standards are so prevalent that they box women into a corner where every choice they make is wrong. In her Facebook video “The Ugly Judgment of Society,” Lane takes on the paralyzing attitudes women face when dealing with issues such as child-rearing age, adoption, abortion, work, and abusive partners.





Girl gets pregnant before 25---people say "She's too young to have a baby"

Girl gets pregnant after 30---"She's too old"

Girl considers abortion--"She's a murderer!"

Girl considers adoption--"Can't believe she's just going to give her baby away, how could she do that?"

Girl keeps baby--"How's she going to afford that baby??"

Girl gets welfare---"She's a sponger living on benefits taking our money"

Girl gets job---"How can she stand to be away from her baby all day like that?"

Girl becomes a stay at home Mum--"She probably doesn't do anything all day but watch Jeremy Kyle"

Girl stops hanging out with friends--"She totally changed when she had that baby"

Girl goes out--"She's always partying and leaving her kids at home!"

Girl wants to leave nasty partner--"Nobody knows what it means to work things out anymore"

Girl wants to stay with nasty partner--"She's dumb!"

Girl eats burger--"Fat ass"

Girl eats salad--"Must be one of those anorexic health nuts"

Girl is overprotective of her child---"You're acting like a psycho, poor kids!"

Girl lets her child play without her---"Where is this kid's Mum??"

Girl smacks her kid---"Call the police and social services!"

Girl refuses to smack---"Her kids are gonna be such brats"

No matter what you do, people will talk. So do what is best for YOU, not other people...


Lane is the single parent of two children, ages 7 and 3. Recently, she told the Today show that she often faces harsh criticism for choosing to raise children as a Deaf mother. “I get judged all the time,” she says.



“Deaf people are not supposed to have children because we are carrying the genes of deafness.” She’s also judged by people when out in public. “We are more loud and wild than hearing people because we are not aware of sound and can’t hear ourselves, so they look at us like animals,” she says. “But it’s not only that all people, not just the Deaf, get judged all the time. It doesn't matter what you do you will be judged, no question.” Source

Facebook Replace The Deaf Club - BBC News

VIDEO: BBC News: Why Facebook has become so important to the sign language community in the United Kingdom.





LONDON -- Sign Language users once had to meet at local Deaf clubs to have conversations and share their views. Now, video on social media means things have changed, says Deaf journalist Charlie Swinbourne.





There was a time when sign language users had to go to a local club to shoot the breeze, share advice or have any kind of conversation. It's not as if you could just pick up the phone for a chat. Deaf clubs were a real community hub full of friends, families, board games and a barman.



In recent years, though, social media sites have started to replace the Deaf club, with Facebook leading the way. Videos on newsfeed pages can be viewed for long periods and groups are easy to set up and join.



Last year, the importance of Facebook as an outlet for the sign language community was acknowledged at a high level when the Scottish Parliament set up a group on the site to gain supporting evidence for the groundbreaking British Sign Language (Scotland) Bill, which was passed in September, and aims to promote usage of the language.



When social media first became popular, the novelty for a sign language user was that they could appear just the same as anyone else via text. Many Deaf people enjoyed being able to communicate more easily with their network of hearing colleagues, old school friends or family members for the first time. ...

DeafVIDEO.TV The Website Exposes 'Cyber Bully'

ASL Version: TheHolism aka Barry Sewell claims the 'DeafVIDEO.TV' social networking is the hub of cyberbully and cyberstalking.



The video producer by theHolism also known as Barry Sewell posted on social networking for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community. Barry Sewell's statement on YouTube, claiming Tayler Mayer, the owner of the DeafVIDEO.TV social networking website is the hub of bullying and stalking.



"I've been asked by some of my long time fans if I'd consider returning to the web site where I used to debate as a vlogger. My answer to that was no. I will not return to this web site because I, along with so many others, were bullied and stalked for our unique view on things. Many of us had to put up with stalking and bullying tactics for many years at this web site. It's been realized that the owner may have allowed them to happen towards those who did not share his view on things. So I say, thanks but no thanks. It's clear that critical thinkers were not welcomed. In short, I do not belong there. Many of us don't. Bullying or stalking is never okay. Thank you." Barry Sewell
