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

BTW, My crack about women owning men is ironical and informed by a variety of perspectives. Here is one, which is the position of some MRAs, that society is organized around the provisioning of women, and now that women are "independent" and "equal" why should men continue to have to provision them?...

I'm only disagreeing in the context of the analogy presented. I'm not disputing sexual desire does not need an outlet, just that it shouldn't fall in the same category as walking a dog. Or that satisfying that urge in a relationship be used as an analogy of walking a dog. That's all I'm saying. Bec...

The point where I disagree is where you compare it to walking a dog. The analogy was for the urge to have sex, that (to me anyway) does not mean an obligation to reciprocate . Especially since the analogy is contingent on what "walking the dog" really means , taking it outside so it can do its busi...

One must not doubt the women! Asking for evidence is sexism! ... On the internet I see estimates of anywhere from 2% from 15% of sexual assault reports being false. Fact is, we don't know. I just wanted to point out that the author of the A+ comment I quoted, "Sylvia Sybil", is blatantly, lowballin...

If Andrew meant it as a joke, fine. If not, that's a little fucked up. I was despite my somewhat jocular tone, being perfectly serious. In case you did not quite get it, entering into a partnership implies (to me anyway) the obligation to fufill to the best of your ability what your partner needs. ...

A thought I had this morning. I was kicked off of the Pharyngula website ostensibly because I was curious about why men commit crime. I had to jump through and acknowledge all of the "privilege" stuff that I do agree with, but my question was why do men, even though privileged, commit more crime . ...

That should be ~~walking~~ and not ~~taking~~.

(relax Melody, calm down ... OK?)

Unless your wife or girlfriend is a nymphomaniac you do not have the right to screw her whenever you wish just because you have a hard on - that thinking belongs in the Dark Ages - and I am not suggesting this has never happened to me, because like most men it has, but if the lady says no, then you...

Thanks. I've bookmarked it. Overly high salaries for charity heads give me a whole new view on things. I think I'll consider the default to be money-grubbing corrupt. Also, if I were an evil person, I'd set myself up as the head of some charity that sounds good but does almost fuck all, sell the sh...

Thanks for the info on this book:

A Criminal History of Mankind by Colin Wilson.

It looks like a worthwhile read.

The worst crimes are not committed by evil degenerates, but by decent and intelligent people taking â€˜pragmaticâ€™ decisions.

Andrew, FYI.. there's all kinds of gruesome crimes in India. There arent too many guns handy.. so primitive weapons.. like agricultural implements are used to hack off arms, head etc (No bobbitts though).

PeeZus touted his Indian minion Avicenna's "takedown" of an AVFM article on India . I dont debate feminists, but I thought I would just correct a seriously flawed fact. I really dont like people spreading fictitious memes about India. I will log it here as a record of their intellectual dishonesty....

So, you're seriously from Freethought Blogs? Yes and no. I would like to point out to you that the only unanimity among us is that PeeZuss Christ is a loon. Otherwise this is like being surrounded by <stereotypical ethnic group> in that any two of us are likely to have at least three opinions at a ...

If you happen to be talking to Paul Elam you might mention to him that his siteâ€™s use of post links seems rather fucked, i.e, one can find the link to the comment which a particular post is in response to, but not the post itself.

Don't see why that would be interesting or surprising [to anyone outside of a politically correct bubble]. In my experience, it's the females that take the cake for being the biggest "slut shamers".

If so, it would be pretty easy to find, not that I'm bothered to try. Really, the reason it's so quiet over there anymore is because the whackjobs drove all the reasonably sane people out.

They probably won't say much though. They shut up and go dumb whenever a woman does something stalkerish or harassy. Like with Justin G's stalker. Barely mentioned by the others, and I think it's because she's female. They will probably not hold Ewwood too accountable for what she does, even though...

Where does that 85% figure come from? The link doesn't work. Oh dear! I looked and you were correct. I suppose I should have checked to make sure it still works. So the answer is nope.

I fully agree with you. The political nature of the office of district attorney, together with its duties of victim advocacy, hardly seem a mixture conducive of truth and even-handedness in general.

That's better than assuming that innocent people are hardly jailed, I guess. I'll give you that (@ decius). Some progress. I never assumed that and I made it clear earlier.

All good points, although I don't think the WHO see poverty as relative. I imagine there is a methodology to determine whether someone is poor.

Not only from what you thought it was, but also from what most dictionaries give as their definition of "feminism". It's commonly given as: 1.
