If thou gazest long into the Pit, the Pit will also gaze into thee

I'm throwing in another: Abbie, You Rock! My daughter is currently on an all-girls robotics team finalizing her project for our state's science fair. The reason it is an all-girls team is that none of the boys managed to complete their projects. Yeah, try to tell my daughter she is oppressed by the ...

Skepandsprinkles: My goal for the week is to use "hive vagina" in conversation IRL. Hope I don't get kicked out of the PTA meeting!

Scented Nectar: Agreed! And it is so counter-productive as Nugent has ably demonstrated . . .

Ericb: PZ is definitely the Dennis Rodman of the atheist community - what a tool.

And I love Archer - it is so wrong, but I love his blue eyes. For the uninitiated:

And Ophelia Benson is now the Sarah Palin of the atheist movement.

Geesh, I get a life for a few days, and all this happens . . . I'm just another vagina chiming in. These people really are a collective piece of work. They want to make their narrow politicized version of atheism the dominant form of atheism and squash and silence all legitimate dissent, and are SHO...

Greta's own comments on her post decrying Seth McFarlane insist that any attack against the powerful is justified (of course, she is defining the powerful, but whatever): And who is it that you’re tearing down? Are you tearing down people who are powerful, and who wield that power in stupid or cru...

I made the mistake of looking at that PZ thread - in the comments they are celebrating this bright idea: EllenBeth Wachs 28 February 2013 at 12:24 pm (UTC -6) Link to this comment #48 Sally Strange Re: Vacula: Over at Stephanie’s, I think, there was talk of making cards to hand out to Vacula if yo...

That's his dad isn't it? Ageism running rampant in the atheist/skeptic community! We need a conference for the age-challenged folks to discuss the hardships of being old atheists. What to do when the other inmates at the retirement home sing hymns after dinner? Throw jello cups at them or get up an...

Yeah, here's the thing, EllenBeth, since you are being willfully dense. Men tell other men this fucking shit all the time. Don't be stupid and get yourself into situations you can't get yourself out of. Don't go drinking alone in strange places. Don't wander off with strangers. Know how to protect ...

I'd say the same to Melody but I figure she'd freak out and claim that she got a "stress injury" from me saying something Sounds like a power outage would be her best friend. Or a technological intervention by her nearest and dearest? Somehow, I imagine her hiding away surreptitious burner phones f...

She means a "mental" stress injury, no?
Good freaking grief! ROFLMAO until I'm going to need a medic alert button.

DING! DING! DING!

It is a great relief that she stopped, looked around, and considered her situation thoughtfully, and then responded well. This is condescending as all get out - as if he is responding to a truculent child. Now you may be released from your Time Out! I notice he doesn't commend Surly Amy for respond...

The legal limit for alcohol meaning the limit for driving? In many places this would equate to less than a single drink! So basically any drinking whatsoever and it's rape! Yes, exactly. Some misguided soul was conflating the legal BAC for driving a motor vehicle with the legal consent for sex. So ...

Heck, I fail the purity test, yet, I still consider myself VERY anti-rape. I know, head explodes. (I have replaced the original with my preferred pronouns, 'cause, y'know . . .) She has ever sexually engaged with any woman (man) while she (he) was . . . drunk (Slyly picks up last night's empties . ....

I think it means consent as an affirmative defense. Meaning that the burden of proof for consent falls on the defendant. Please sign and notarize the form. This issue of what constitutes consent is a pretty hot one - falling somewhere between unconcious at one end of the spectrum (I hope we could a...

Chill Girl!! She said "I'm not a woman at Google. I'm a geek at Google". She's definitely punishing her sistahs! http://www.cnn.com/2012/04/05/tech/google-marissa-mayer Sheryl Sandberg has also been giving feminists of a certain ilk the fits. Today Maureen Dowd tries to deal but Sheryl keeps droppi...

One of my colleagues, a Governor of a private girls school, told me (and I am paraphrasing) that they are people who have been given too much praise for their mediocre abilities. This has lead them to conclude that they are (in her words) "second best" because of lack of talent, but rather because ...

I just want to say....that avatar gives me the heebie-jeebies. Sorry to skeeve you out - somehow it expresses my inner 'pitter - and all the angst I feel around these issues . . .

Thanks for the warm welcome y'all! This EllenBeth Wachs stuff is comedy gold. By her own definition I think she has harassed herself.

Hi! Long time lurker, first time poster. That article by Amanda Marcotte is the most obnoxious thing I have read in a long time, and my vagina is highly offended. I hope I have come to the right place. The Garth Paden comment rocks. I won't bore with my long road to joining you all here, but reading...
