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

https://twitter.com/boodleoops/status/481547599707901952 Their SJW detractors are no better, but it's funny seeing so many radfem types playing the victim and whinging about how unfairly they're being treated. They haven't exactly avoided using shaming and smear tactics when responding to MRAs, ant...

Imagine if people on drugs acted like fat activists. "Why isn't a junkie body beautiful and sexy?" "You should never invalidate my lived experience as a proud drug-user by telling me to stop smoking so much crack." You've not run into many drug rights activists then? The sane ones argue for drug de...

Did anyone notice the recent SJW kerfuffle in the world of feminist porn? It was enough to get me wasting my time on Twitter (and back here) after a productive few months avoiding drama. It turns out some lesbian porn performers are so disgustingly transphobic that they won't suck cock even if it's ...

The most ridiculous part (and this is saying something, being Anita Sarkeesian and all of her videos are ridiculous) was when she showed the various ways you could kill women in videogames. What really got me was the blather about women NPCs existing as tools to serve the player, and therefore fulf...

I can't believe this discussion is still on-going. What the fuck. https://twitter.com/diannaeanderson/status/402618786181681152 https://twitter.com/QuackerFlack/status/402627532119629824 What. The.

Cameron & Scott were directing kick ass women years ago, and without a fuss. The other day I discovered a feminist complaining about "strong woman" characters on movies. There's seem to be a trend towards hating that type of character. I kid you not. I've seen some feminists attack various female a...

here we go again... http://i.imgur.com/vzey31i.png It always amazes me that so many people can't see how what a blatant example of double-think this kind of "feminism test" usually is. In the very book where that appears, Moran compares women who use their sexuality to get ahead (e.g. models and wo...

http://jezebel.com/watch-joss-whedon-make-the-perfect-speech-about-the-wor-1460080685 Here's the relevant dick sucking-I mean, article, from Jezebel. I just have to laugh at feminists being angry over the term feminist. I'm sorry feminists, but it is modern feminists who have created the negative b...

Some mansplainer had the nerve to suggest that Taslima actually speak with women before judging their lives. Obviously, as a true feminist, Taslima was having none of it: https://twitter.com/taslimanasreen/status/395457441699069952 And, um, what exactly is Taslima saying here? I'm misinterpreting th...

Okay, I'm just having a laugh. But how can you say something like "men view women as toilets" without noticing how it simultaneously degrades both men AND women? The implication that a strong, powerful, sexy woman cannot choose to go into the porn industry of her own free will is just infantilizing...

http://i.imgur.com/pJiuLnJ.jpg https://twitter.com/CCriadoPerez/status/393762415516856320 Some people argued that religion stands out as having an exceptionally poor track record when it comes to women's rights, but of course that's just down to lack of education... https://twitter.com/CCriadoPerez...

In the guardian comment section on sexism in sciences... 3 PEOPLE, 3 COMMENTS TheJoyOfEssex 23 October 2013 7:42am Sexism made me turn my back on physics and work for an investment bank.

Re: the whole women as toilets bensonism Its a form of rhetoric used by the anti-porn/prostitution feminists. They refer to women in those professions as cumdumpsters, sperm receptacles and toilets. Yes, sex industry debates are where I first saw it, well before I encountered its use in the online ...

What a great/silly discussion. Aron Ra lost more of my respect each time he said, "one and only definition." There's only one definition of feminism? REALLY? "Feminism" is like "God": every believer has his or her own definition. http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/236x/cf/56/39/cf5639a98c2acfc24e046...

It's completely irrelevant to the latest FTB related goings on, but I can't resist sharing this fine example of SJW feminist thought... So we begin with ex-prostitute Ruth Jacobs (author of call-girl misery memoir Soul Destruction , and not someone who's exactly pro-prostitution) voicing the rather ...

BARF! PalMD in the comments at whatsherfaces. And Isisisis Good lord. All we need now is Physioproffe and Zuska to turn up! There's a few more accusations appearing in the comments so I doubt that Myers will be able to ignore it. This is making me nostalgic. I think the first time I clashed with th...

Who still buys paper magazines anyway? Seriously, my local press shop closed like 2 or 3 years ago. Totally agree. It just reveals how out of touch with reality the victorian fainting couch, anti-sex "feminists" are, and how much of a useless symbolic gesture the whole thing really is. Initially I ...

I've just checked, and saying that you believe in astrology actually shifts your score towards authoritarianism. Anyone want to guess at the reasoning behind that?

Am I seriously the only person here who comes out remotely right of centre? http://www.politicalcompass.org/facebook/pcgraphpng.php?ec=1.00&soc=-5.28 Some of the questions seemed pretty odd to me.

Joan Smith 2013: I am sick of this, and so are a lot of other people. Publishing pictures of women's breasts in newspapers encourages the idea that we're just a collection of body parts, which is why I support the campaign to get rid of Page 3. I don't think half the population should be crudely di...

Sorry from that wiki article this made me laugh: Simply studying or being a student of womenâ€™s studies can be seen as activism in it of itself . Therefore, for most students of womenâ€™s studies, an activism status is already engaged. To foster the growth of the study body, one of the key aspects...

Does anyone else find the current feminist music video moral panic as laughable as I do? Feminist writers (in the UK at least) seem to be dedicating more column inches to sexy music videos than to pretty much every other "women's issue" put together. To me it's utterly daft even by SJW feminist stan...

It would be one fuck of a huge coincidence if the author of " BIID: On Wanting A Disability " just happened to require a foot amputation.

At least in Sweden, what you call "extremists" or "loons" would fit right in among mainstream feminist journalists, feminist organizations, feminists politicians, feminist thinkers, feminist artists, feminist bloggers, woman/gender studies professors, and pretty much any sort of public feminist.

Yet British feminists wrote more about the politics of twerking than they did about the Islamic domestic violence apologism that Waters mentions. I never thought this would be a politically relevant video... [youtube]eabefjsJsAQ[/youtube] The Politics of Twerking.... It's laughable how much of a mo...

Waters tries to support her claim that feminists are happy to let Islamic violence against women slide by listing lots of examples of feminists pursuing other problems than Sharia law. Except that she listed examples from her experience where the feminist groups told her it was racist to criticise ...

Waters has just written a scathing post about PZ Myers treatment of Pat Condells recent video. I'll quote the whole thing as it is worth reading in total. Waters is spot on. Most mainstream feminists aren't actively defending Islamic sexism, but it's telling that they're generally too busy condemni...

Every time I check that Pharyngula thread the comments seem to get more and more deranged. http://i.imgur.com/hlC69CE.jpg In my experience "non interested people" are blissfully ignorant of all the online bullshit in the atheist community, and are unlikely to give a fuck one way or the other.

Feminist consciousness raising does not concern itself with the truth of its claims. Feminists say that it is sufficient for consciousness raising to "get people thinking and talking" about subjects. ...

Really? So 100% of democrats are defined by a handful of people? All republicans are defined by a similar number? Don't bother talking to libertarians, just read what the Pauls say, and bang, you're done. Okay, if you're an atheist, you're just like PZ Myers and FTB. Done. What an amazingly lazy wa...

Look, no one, absolutely no one disagrees with the aims and outcomes of what is commonly known as First, and even Second Wave feminism which is about equity and opportunity. Those who do are in the same nut camp who talk about "Martin Luther Coon" and think Jim Crow wasn't all that bad. I think you...

I ran across a vitriolic comment once upon a time on the interwebs that stayed with me: a long rant, from a man, dictating to an anti-feminist female blogger that she shouldn't be allowed to vote or have abortions (etcetera) because she's so blind and ungrateful to feminism, which did it all for he...

Remember Femen, the topless feminist protesters hyped in the media as patriarchy fighting "shock troops of feminism" ?

Yeah, you can start with http://adainitiative.org/ for some hints as to where they stand.

Over at Shakesville they're gathering the pitchforks and torches to storm the castle of a men's feminist group that held a conference with nearly all female speakers, because of some miscommunication with one of the speakers. Why do men even try? For all their efforts they are only ever going to ge...

I don't understand their mindset. They're all anglo cracker women who enjoy the greatest standard of living of any human beings in history, almostly entirely as a result of scientific advancements in food supply, shelter and medicine. Then they go off their rants about science being some patriarcho...

This weekend the UK's largest feminist conference took place. One of the themes seems to have been rejection of mainstream economics and science, and their replacement with "feminist economics" and "women's ways of knowing". https://twitter.com/Tabz1511/status/369104420123848704 https://twitter.com/...

The UK does have a fairly "meh" attitude to christianity, and thus there is no breach point available for hardcore feminism to squeeze a wedge into. I'm not sure I see the link between attitudes towards Christianity and "hardcore" feminism. Sweden is one of the most atheistic countries in the world...

I am not particularly familiar with either the political or the social situation across the pond, so while I am skeptical, I won't argue with you on her influence in Britain.

"Women's Studies" isn't exactly a degree that carries a lot of authority behind it.

Meh. I am amazed that grown men turn an aging legal theorist whose biggest accomplishment was 30 years ago was immediately shot down by the courts into the monster under their beds. In Britain, the work of Dworkin and MacKinnon has been repeatedly cited by feminists campaigning for a porn crackdown...
