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

I interpreted "this" as a reference to my post, since that is what "Guest" was responding to. I didn't say shit about women and Greg Laden has nothing to do with me. Calm your tits FFS.. I was the guest that directed that at you and I was saying the shit you are spouting is the stock feminist line ...

I'm on the fence. I think my instinct is to be generous to both parties. While other peoples' instincts seem to be to be harsh to both parties. I don't claim either tendency is more correct.

At least locally go to certain bars on certain nights and you'll see that type of behaviors. They're like hunting grounds. (Now, a lot of the time it's women hunting men but we don't talk about that part of it). Doesn't have to happen with drinking environments, of course. Which is why I say it's a...

Why is it every time the slymepit learns of an alleged sexual assault or harassment you seem to focus almost 100% of your criticism on the victim? Umm, maybe because the only alleged assault stories that get brought up at the Slymepit are the bullshit ones ? This Justine's story just doesn't add up...

I just corrected welch on this, do I really have to do it again? It was not a goal post shift because I never made a legal argument in the first place. Go ahead and think the courts are "the ultimate arbitrator" if you want. I'll still think it's wrong to raid someone's house in the middle of the n...

But as others have said, the behavior was not unusual for 2 inebriated people who are sexually attracted to each other (even if they wouldn't feel that same attraction, or behave the same way, in the absence of alcohol).

How dare you suggest that people lock their cars so their GPS devices don't get stolen?!?!?!?! If you see a stranger open your unlocked car and reach for your GPS, you should at no point tell them no or call the police. Just tell PZ Myers the next day or accuse the thief of a felony on your blog at...

Why is it when people point out there is more than one competing story and the victim's story has holes in it, you act like a raging tit and start brow-beating people?

Scrutinizing victim reports in order to figure out what happened is generally fine. Scrutinizing victim reports for other purposes is not necessarily fine. I said in an earlier post: "There is nothing wrong with what you describe (i.e. trying to figure out what actually happened). I didn't say ther...

http://i.imgur.com/MPBTLQr.jpg Okay, you don't want to incentivize victim reports, you just don't want to disincentivize victim reports.

So inorder to incentivize all victim reports, you're willing to toss out the notion of false accusations, and you're also eager to forego any contemplation or learning about what happened and why.

He didn't break any criminal law in my opinion. She was not assaulted or raped. This kind of sex-play behavior happens all the time. The two of them were at a drunken social event. This was only a problem because he was her boss. (and as I explained before, the company handled this correctly). Acco...

I have mixed feelings about it.

You still are. You were inconvenienced at best, not under imminent threat. The correct response in that situation is not to attack someone with potentially deadly force. Mace and similar are not just irritants, they are in fact, potentially deadly, and given the commonality of asthma, it is not a s...

The courts have ruled that the individuals sprayed/tasered have to be posing an immediate threat to the officers or others. These people were sitting and posing no threat. If they wanted to arrest them for not obeying a lawful order to disperse, then they should have done so. If the crowd then got ...

Surrounding someone to prevent them from leaving unless they give in to your demands is not "peacefully protesting" IMO. The only difference between the two scenarios is that in the hypothetical one it's not being done to a cop and the demand is different. What other means are you referring to? Hav...

Say a group of people sits in a circle surrounding me and links arms. Then they say they won't let me leave unless I give them my wallet. After a few minutes I warn them that if they don't move I will spray them with a can of mace. They decide to stay put. So I mace some of them and then leave. Who...

Are you actually aware of how that situation went down? First the officers made a couple arrests (I don't know why--whether the arrests were legit or not is a separate issue). Then the protestors surrounded the cops with the intention of not letting them leave unless they released the people they h...

I tend to side with the cops in all of these cases. Even in that video. You just don't front off with police officers. You just don't do it. Not even in that passive-aggressive "but I'm just asking a question, Officer" way. If you really feel you have a legitimate beef with the ticket, then you tak...

I haven't seen the movie, but it was the news footage of that incident that made me opposed to tasers. The cop supposedly thought his gun was a taser when he shot the guy. So the guy was on the floor with hands behind his back and this asshole cop was going to tase him anyway. I used to go to a pol...

Let me flip it around a bit.

Rap battles are my latest obsession. Some of the most common go-to angles are "you're gay", "I fucked your mom/gf/sister", "your mom/gf is a slut", "you're fat", "you're anorexic/bulimic", "you're [insert ethnic stereotype]" and "you're a woman". Then at the end they're usually nothing but cordial.

Lame, my computer logged me out for some reason.

Personally I'm not interested in debating whether the story is true or not, unless there's good reason to suspect it and that harm would come from a fake story being believed, I'm willing to take it at face value. Is your normal reaction to being asked for advice to be like "first, prove that your ...

By use of scare quotes we've I've proved it all to be nonsense. Great victory for the slyme pit! Those weren't scare-quotes. They were quote-quotes. Trying to rape someone is not abusive unless you actually succeed at it. Trying to rape someone#1 is only abusive when someone#2 actually tries to rap...

Examples of denialism - implying that science that relies on inference about our genes or our past is somehow suspect: "They tell us this stuff is written into our genes but they never tell us which genes."

In that talk she was making stuff up out of whole cloth, misquoting scientists, misattributing the words of laymen to scientists and vice versa, mocking a study's results because she didn't like the reasons behind the formation of the hypothesis, stating that poorly conducted studies trumped the fi...

If you're arguing that psychology as a field has value, I completely agree. I don't see how the Stroop effect or theory of mind fall within the realm of "evolutionary psychology" as opposed to just plain old psychology. One who does not believe in evolution should have no logical difficulty with ac...

what would you say is the most important (or one of the most important) contributions of evolutionary psychology to human knowledge? One of the strongest examples is the research on incest avoidance (based on the old Westermarck hypothesis, but a lot of experimental studies done in recent years, he...

For me, the bottom line is that much of E.P. is dragged down by the general lousiness of social science. Theory of Mind being a good example of what's wrong with social sciences. The social sciences have a large amount of garbage that is considered data. Obviously if your data is garbage your resul...

To make my background more clear, I was a graduate student / research assistant in experimental psychology for a few years before deciding to study statistics instead. BTW, for those who see "psychology" and immediately think "therapy" or "psychiatry", stop that. Biologists are not (necessarily) phy...

Well let's see....
