Yeah, no they don't. Not only is "50 shades of grey" written by a woman, but Tetsuya, here, might be the first man I've ever observed talking about that book, online or off.

This is a new one for me. I've never before heard the idea that feminist status is determined by group acceptance. I don't agree with it, but even if it were true wouldn't that make the "PZ is/was not a feminist" thing moot? I cannot tell if you are trolling or not .... PZ's standard for being an M...

Dafuq, Linus? "Telling a joke makes you not a feminist? Cool story, bro." Seriously. Yes, ask any feminist online-telling the wrong joke makes you not a feminist, nor a feminist ally. Also, "cool story bro" has been out for fucking years. You'll have to try harder to sound kewl. Mudslinging isn't r...

Let's be honest, we all make generalizations sometimes. I'm pretty sure I've heard one or two about here about feminists/FTB/A+ers/vegans/skepchicks. I'd even wager they haven't all been totally accurate. That's not to say don't criticize damion for making an inaccurate statement about the slymepit...

I am more cranky with JREF and I should note - Damion has indicated he did not report anything to the mods. An open disagreement with him is obviously fine by me.

re: Male feminists. Im not sure that there is a dichotomy between being a "true believer" and "trying to get laid". The idea of "trying to get laid" can encapsulate a lot of social behaviours relating to group acceptance, as well as trying to impress someone as a mate. Female social acceptance is a...

Trying to get someone fired, no matter how reprehensible you find their opinions, is a pretty low thing. And where does it stop? Is it the cost of doing business that they simply lose their current job, and you consider their price paid? Do you raise your hackles again a few years later when you di...

What I'm saying that, given sufficient certitude that a normally-worded message has reached Linsay, then it should be up to him and his professionalism to check and follow up.

Well, by now they've been made aware. Any further email or contact amounts to putting pressure in order to achieve a definite outcome; namely, getting her fired. Pitters, don't do that.

Winning these types of cases in court is a crap shoot, and hardly anyone ever comes out ahead financially. Radford's primary goal was to clear his name. His firebombing of Tokyo exposÃ© of Stollzy's true nature pretty much accomplished that. I think it was a brilliant move. Absolutely - the publish...

Radford will prove his ultimate stupidity by not keeping an ace up his sleeve for the court room "surprise" If there is a court room "surprise," either (a) you are watching TV or (b) a lawyer fucked up. A surprise?? Too much Ironside Both lawyers know everything in advance, so both clients do too A...

Is that the case? That any business or third party can be compelled to turn over documents, property, evidence, etc., for civil cases that otherwise don't involve them?

I've represented a lot of rapists. I'm not a big fan of the "let the courts decide." For one, rape cases are just plain difficult cases. We have a standard in criminal law of proving someone guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. When we are talking about breaking into a house, or shooting someone, or r...

Jumping ahead to ask people here, based on a twitter conversation just now: What would it take for you to believe a claim of sexual harassment or assault?

You can buy a lot of vluevogs for $30,000.

She has raised over 18,000 now. I'm curious, however, over the question of using this type of platform when she explicitly labels Radford a sexual harasser as part of her fundraising pledge - a campaign that seems designed to allow her to publicly label him a sexual harasser. If she is lying on thi...

I honestly dont think this will count against them that much, if at all. The content of a settlement negotiation is not probative, this is done as a matter of policy in order to encourage settlements. So the only thing this can do is be evidence of bad faith. But that will only matter to the judge,...

Well, Radford looked a bit foolish to be sure. But Karen/Baxter have fucked themselves. While Radford appears to be the dupe ('cause he is) Baxter/Karen look like they are not acting in good faith.
