Well, I'm not saying you're wrong. What I'm saying is that I think that at one point there was a real movement away from that sort of bigotry in the feminist community, and at this junction I would say that movement is reversed. I wonder what period of time you are talking about, or more importantl...

I don't buy the line "for all people" either, but nor do I think it is a valid criticism of MRA's either. I would much prefer that they say here are a list of issues specifically affecting men we want to fix. I would rather converse with people like that compared to people who want to claim patriar...

I agree with that in principle but it might be the case that things are so skewed to the other side that an MRM is necessary to rectify the situation. I haven't followed this MRM stuff too closely but what little I've seen of the MRM (JohntheOther, e. g.) seems to take just your position (i.e., mis...

A case can be made that a country that HAS to have separate trains, etc for women so that they are safer, does indeed have a rape or sexual harassment culture, one that the government is trying to combat. Obviously, a country where all people felt safe would not need separate trains. you mean one s...

The way women are treated in India = rape culture. Being harassed for personal info, being groped, having upskirt pics taken = example of rape culture. A guy cat-calling or saying 'you're hot' is not rape culture, imo. Before anyone jumps on me for my thoughts about what and what doesn't constitute...

Astro, a few pages back, was celebrity-mongering on account of Chaplin's alleged involvement with the MRA. This by itself is as impressive a move as promoting Scientology through Cruise's membership and constitutes a typical propaganda tactic. Chaplin and Cruise are actors, not public intellectuals...

This is where I disagree with many folks, like Astro, even James. I do not think feminism is the primary rot here. It is merely the way the rot expresses itself.

Not misogyny by the strict definition, but by the expanded definition often used now which assumes sexism must be backed by misogyny. If defining womanhood in terms of cooking abilities and sexual availability isn't sexist, then what is? Just to complete the picture, there are loads of people who d...

There's a saying about people that have a spine and basic integrity - "If I don't like the party I leave" . It took you longer than it should have Al - but you finally stood up and left.

I've been following this story for the past few days. It's quite remarkable and I believe the whole event and the aftermath speaks volumes. Rape is so abhorrent that a documented, public case of it is enough to trigger mass protests, to the point where the police are needed to gas and beat back the...

TasLOLma is my favourite FTB blogger. Anytime I am feeling down, I just head over to TasLOLma for some laughs, and all is well in the world once again. India blames women for being raped.

Self Made Man by Nora/Ned Vincent, Part 1, for 20/20 on ABC.
Part 2 and Part 3 are right there too.
Note the concluding remarks.
20/20: "Did you like being a woman more before?" (or now, after the journey)
Norah: "I like being a woman more now, coz I think its more privileged"

The same goes for A Voice for Men. Obviously it's a article of faith that AVfM is a ravenous hate site filled with rapey guys, guys who hate, who hate and rape and rapety-rape-rape. ... But hate, much less pathological hatred of women? Not a bit. At best, you can say the atmosphere in that regard i...

You may get a thrill out of being "Witch of the Week" but if you look at the comments there many are agreeing if you back down and apologise then they would withdraw the complaints and see how it goes.

Not sure if people have already seen this, but I ran into this Vid today. Seems to be from the reason rally. In addition to internet balls, PeeZus has reason rally balls.

I think you may have hit the nail on the head there with those comments. Or at least summarized the crux of the matter: assuming the annotation was there - an open question, but I would say the circumstantial evidence is in favour of it - most people apparently didnâ€™t give a ratâ€™s ass that she ...

For instance, Iâ€™ve just taken a look at the video and I see several posts there from 3 days and 2 weeks ago â€“ if YouTubeâ€™s time stamping is to be given any credence â€“ that are still riding Watson for not knowing that Galileo had not been executed. Reasons? People still getting to the video ...

She did not correct it in "minutes" - but after a few weeks of laughter .... which could still be factually correct.. there's no way to decide one way or other, unless we get to the youtube database as someone mentioned. She may have corrected it at her end 10 mins on, but it most likely didnt get ...

In short, unless you were watching the video directly on YouTube, via the straight URL without query-string parameters, the absence of visible annotations in it does not count as evidence of anything (except Watson's poor communication skills in the "single point of failure," etc.). Another fact is...

Even if you believe she added the notation on the video 10 minutes later (but is not concerned when someone points out that 20 days later there is no sign of a notation), she does not take responsibility for the mistake, she blames other people. "Blinded by rage" is not the same as "I was wrong" or...

I don't really get the MRA thing anymore than I get the radfem thing. They both seem to just revolve around gender nationalism, boosterism, and pity parties.
