Yep, just keep making that shit up, Ophelia. I'm one of "those people" and I've never punched anyone, human or non-human, in my entire life. Why are you so dishonest? Is it a socioeconomic privilege thing?
Oh, "bam" indicates PUNCHING REBECCA WATSON IN THE FACE? I do apologize Opie. Perfectly reasonable extrapolation from the tone of my voice.
Goodness. She sounds like she's completely butthurt.
Outstanding.
You know, I will never understand this self-pitying sociopath mentality. I can wrap my head around people who give as well as they get, who are able to go toe to toe and argue a point, but this "All I did was smear you and make up shit, so why are you being so mean to me you terrible person?" crap I will never fully understand.
Bonus: Brownian copping the moral high ground about making violent threats.
Oh, wait: One thing: What "violent threats" have I made? Nuking Minnesota?
Re: Now sponsored by [spoiler]my dick[/spoiler]
I used to get catcalled back in the day. But if it were a dude and that dude tried to approach me, well since I'm a dude, he often felt the need to try and beat me up. If it were a female catcaller then they were very direct and touchy feely. To ridiculous levels. As an example (granted this only happened one time) a woman grabbed me while I was standing around near the dance floor. She put her hand down my pants, grabbed for my junk, (I squirmed away) and she got a handful of my underwear instead, which she ripped off my body. She pulled so hard as to rip a big piece of my underwear off (not the elastic part). I escaped to see her twirling my underwear around her head, yelling, screaming, and dancing. Drunk off her ass. Crazy bitches. Ladies, don't do that.
Guys, well I can run fast and I am in general non-threatening. I don;t give off that "warrior caste" vibe where people just fight each other.
Anyway guys get catcalled too. And ladies aren't always so nicely behaved.

Engaging and negotiating are not the same thing.

Don't get me wrong I love the USA and I'm damn lucky to live here but that doesnt mean we are without blame for others being terrorized.

He hasn't, however, gone full ebil and done the infinitely worse thing of voicing some tentative questions about certain tenets of feminism as the Pharygulites see it, so...token spank monkey, perhaps.16bitheretic wrote:Wow, secular steve seems to have pissed off oolon and the A+/FTB circlejerkers quite a bit!

It is dissent, though - not much, but I'd guess enough to meet Noelplum's challenge.

Innnterrresting that all the "pretty girls" have light-colored skin, and the majority appear to be Caucasian. Distinct paucity of curly-haired individuals of any ethnicity, too. Also, most of the "ugly faces" involve making double chins and fat-looking necks.Skep tickle wrote:Went looking at PZ's twitter feed for the executable he retweeted. He RT's lots of stuff. Noticed this, a headscratcher:

Pretty Girls Making Ugly Faces (the comments at that page are amusing, small flame war going on).
I have no clue why PZ would RT that link. Did he think the photos were funny? ironic? salient examples of objectification of women, or of cruelty toward those considered ugly by society?
The whole thing just seems so laden (ha) with mines that a newly converted gender feminist should probably not even try to "go there". But will any of his followers call him out on it? I'm not going to hold my breath on that one.
Re: Now sponsored by [spoiler]my dick[/spoiler]
It's been so long (and several computers) ago that anything I might have had is gone. I have pretty much forgotten about what it was, just that some of the stuff he wrote was really bad (somewhere up along the tea party racism bad, to use a recent example). If I remember, and I may not, I think he was posting stuff that had been contradicted by other science - neuroscience perhaps - but maybe your mention of the Bell Curve is causing me to misremember. Sorry I can't be more specific than that. My own experience is a lot of anthropology classes in college (almost had enough for a BA in it) and a lifelong interest, but I haven't devoted too much time in the last few years to it (mainly interested in the archaeology side of the house).AndrewV69 wrote:Dunno what you are on about man without some specific link.

No he does not mention pond scum like Laden but he does a number on the yahoos currently mobbing Jared Diamond (not that he aproves too much of him either).
All I can do is hazard a guess is that depending on which side you fall under after reading the The Blank State by Pinker, or The Bell Curve, or Race and Intelligence by Rushton, then you may very well get a heart attack if you read Razib.
My bottom line, is that if Razib gives you an aneurism, then you probably have no business reading him at all.
You also probably do not have a deep enough understanding about the subject matter to have an opinion either (no offense meant) that Razib or others like Dienke, Hawks and that lot, or generally many of the people who comment would even bother to consider.
If he's trying to push his political agenda through his writings, then I won't waste my time. It'd be like reading Huffpo for scientific advice. Appreciate the response.

His view on the word cunt are exactly what you expect from someone who grew up in England.

@Skeptickle
This Feminist Canard "A Feminist can do whatever she wants." is both naive in the extreme and exactly the sort of ideological nonsense that led their children to often be entitled irresponsible adults. Now I know what it meant to mean is "Feminism should have no dogma on what a woman should choose to do with herself"
However that is not something one would say to children, but telling a child they can do what they want is what makes them think they can do whatever they want, no ramifications and if the big bad world exposes them as useless scheeching wage slaves, then clearly it is the fault of the Patriarchy and not them or their mothers.
Remember anyone can get a PhD not everyone has the cosmic wisdom of mothers, apparently. Which will lead to an interesting schism between childless feminists and mothers, if they ever get around to having any real power.
Well, that went all over the place.

Re: Now sponsored by [spoiler]my dick[/spoiler]
PZ Myers has defined feminism as "The radical idea that women are people". It's extremely easy to dismiss this statement as a bit of silly sloganeering.
Don't.
A little thought reveals this bumpersticker bon mot is really a trojan horse that would make the Greek army green with envy. It's a brilliant marketing ploy, use a sentiment almost nobody would disagree with as a hook..."women are people"...and couple it with whatever you're trying to sell..."the radical idea". Here's a few variations on the theme to illustrate my point.
Stalinism is the radical idea that people are equal.
Christian Dominionism is the radical idea that Jesus loves you.
Jihad is the radical idea that the world should follow the religion of peace.
See how that works?
What really bothers me about this definition though, is the fact that the people who use it most, Myers, et. al., have demonstrated that they only believe the first half.
"Feminism is the radical idea"...
If one is a true believer in a radical idea no action taken in its defense, no matter how radical or destructive, is too extreme. Any amount of invective or vitriol hurled at you opponent is justified, after all, only someone of sub-human intelligence could fail to see the rightousness of your cause. And you can do whatever the fuck you want to a sub-human. Which brings us to the second half-
"....that women are people".
The baboons don't believe that for a second. If a woman is an orthodox follower of their's she is one of the Enlightened Ones, far above the rest of humanity, superhuman, a demigoddess. If a woman isn't a true believer and doesn't instantly submit to re-education she's a tool of the patriarchy, brainwashed into turning a blind eye to how badly she's being oppressed. She's an oldthinker who unbellyfeels Radfem.
She's an unperson.
Don't.

What I like about him, is how excited he gets about the prospect of learning something, even if it contradicts his current position, and despite the contrary opinion being delivered in a manner that suggests he is a dumbass.
If you fail to deliver, that is when he gets pissed off. After the fact, not before. IOW when it comes to learning something, he appears to have no sacred books.

Oh I can hazard a guess or two.In more than 51% of the cases EPS has dealt with, alcohol or drugs were involved, Smith said.
There's nothing to indicate why the statistics may have climbed over the past few years.
"It's mind boggling, I don't know why," Smith said.
"I don't even want to hazard a guess."
I could also pull some directly out of my ass, I could also invoke the MRA position on false rape acusations, or the femtheist position about all sex = rape, the slutwalker position on dressing like a slut and staggering around at 2:00 am dressed like a hooker in a dodgy part of town and on the verge of becoming blackout drunk.
Whatever.
I would like to see the data first though. That includes how it was collected and classified.
There are too many people with agendas fucking around and cooking the books to match their ideology on the subject, for me to trust any statistics I read in some newspaper.

It's very important to the 'Gulag that he admit this choice is damaging to his wife and their family and that the choice has been conditioned by societal choices and oppression and is therefore not really voluntary.

I've been reading his blog on and off for years, and although I'm on the opposite end of the political spectrum, and disagree about some of the inferences he draws from the science, I don't think he's using science to push his politics. I think he's also softened his approach a bit since the gnxp.com days, if that's where you remember him from. But since he doesn't make the usual allowances for sensibilities, for many it goes over as well as Paul W's input did in that recent Pharyngula thread.Badger3k wrote:...AndrewV69 wrote: My bottom line, is that if Razib gives you an aneurism, then you probably have no business reading him at all.

Reminds me of the incident at the university swimming pool when I was in grad school: there was a guy who would pull down his Speedo and expose himself underwater when a women swam by in the next lane. I was asked whether I'd seen him expose himself, because I swam laps there 2 or 3 times per week. I replied, "I don't know - I don't wear my contact lenses while swimming and don't see particularly well without them, so if he exposed himself I couldn't really see anything."
Sometimes ignorance really is bliss.
Of course, I'm a man, and a white one at that, so my experience doesn't count for anything.
First, I'm bald, and I often shave my head. While living in the Hollywood area for only 5 months, on FOUR different occasions, I had people in cars yell, "fuck you, skinhead!!!!! This was in 2001, long after the height of the skinhead days, and in downtown Hollywood, not San Bernardino. Living as a white plurality or minority in small San Joaquin Valley towns, I have been yelled at and threatened by hispanics and blacks on several occasions, with no provocation other than being white.
Living where I've lived, I have never once heard white people doing anything similar (although I am aware that inland SoCal has had some serious race problems in the last couple of decades). None of these people were any poorer than me or the local whites, no power imbalance, no majority status for me. Just low-class assholes raised badly, taking their problems out an any target they can find and legitimize with their hatred. Worse than the redneck whites in Bakersfield, and that's actually saying something.
I would say I have endured far more harassment than any of these Skepchick/A+ assholes, and a much bigger risk of violence. So where's my fucking cookie and pity party and social movement? Oh I forgot, violent thugs are fine in liberal circles, as long as their only targets are white men.

Or a deli or small diner/cafe that does its own bread/bakery goods as well, but not as expansive as a dedicated bakery.

In my home town there was a little lake at the end of an inlet where wedding parties would always have their picture taken. One of my high school friends Nick would hang out the window as we drove by and yell "Ham and Eggs!"
Well, okay...So he did this a couple or three times and finally I asked "Is that an innuendo?"
He leaned back in the passenger seat and did this huge shit-eating grin he did so well, and said "Means whatever they want it to mean".
Which was cruel, really.

Re: his voice was probably vibrating with rage
Not here. I do that constantly, except for fun and not on my way to work. I prefer (urban) night rides because of the lack of traffic and lower summer temperatures. Never had a problem.[/quote]decius wrote:[quote="jimthepleb"
cycling to and from work in the dark and very early morning opens you up to all the local nutters who need a laugh.
I think it varies widely by region, even within a single large state like California. I'm familiar with Fresno, I could totally see assaulting bicyclists as a pastime for certain teenagers and assholes there, and also, it is a large town with a varied population and a lot of angry poor people angrily commuting, generally just pissed at everything. I now live less than half a state away from Fresno, on the coast. We've had one single incidence of a local driver "pretend swerving" at bicyclists at night to scare them. Probably some stupid kid. He did it two or three times to the same guy, then was never heard from again. No big thing around here, I ride all the time, and we have whole huge groups of seniors, old as hell, 20 or more at a time all over the road, no problems.
You should read the anti-bicyclist rage from, of all places, San Francisco and other Bay area towns. There are people ranting on craigslist about anti-bicyclist murder fantasies on a daily basis.

Well, sure. First, look up at the current motto of the Slyme Pit (..."women are people AND adults"). Also, I didn't say I thought Amanda Parker's understanding of "feminism" was The Right One, just that I didn't think it fit w/ FtB's understanding (not that she's trying to...just following the chain of RT's back, I came to her twitter feed then blog). Current example:Richard Dworkins wrote:@Skeptickle
This Feminist Canard "A Feminist can do whatever she wants." is both naive in the extreme and exactly the sort of ideological nonsense that led their children to often be entitled irresponsible adults. Now I know what it meant to mean is "Feminism should have no dogma on what a woman should choose to do with herself"
However that is not something one would say to children, but telling a child they can do what they want is what makes them think they can do whatever they want, no ramifications and if the big bad world exposes them as useless scheeching wage slaves, then clearly it is the fault of the Patriarchy and not them or their mothers.
Remember anyone can get a PhD not everyone has the cosmic wisdom of mothers, apparently. Which will lead to an interesting schism between childless feminists and mothers, if they ever get around to having any real power.
Well, that went all over the place.

Standard position from the sort of theology the baboons appear to favour. The baboon model of family probably encompasses woman and children only (preferably female).
It is pretty much what some conservatives would call an "anti-family" position.
(By which they mean the sort of "progressive" attitude, which absolutely hates the "traditional" husband and wife model, where they work together in positions that complement each other, and each regards and esteems the other with approval and affection.)
In any event the Judgy Bitch here would probably have them in hysterics (have I linked this before? can not be arsed to check actually)

New study by some ivory tower eggheads at the University of California, Berkeley! I know, I know! You’re so excited already! Researchers have noted that when women have decision-making power at home, they no longer give a rat’s ass about gaining power at work. It seems that women, especially mothers, are intensely satisfied when they have the power to determine how their homes run, how their children are raised and what the family will be having for dinner. Some women, get this, DON’T WORK OUTSIDE THE HOME AT ALL!

No seriously. Apparently, there are adult, grown-up women who find sufficient meaning in caring for their families that they don’t spend one single second of their lives in a cubicle shuffling paper for cold hard cash.[/quote]

Yes. This is what I mean the ramification of telling your children "you can do what you want" is that when they grow up the may well turn out to be exactly the sort of people who presume that any restriction on them "doing what they want" is oppression and that those of the FtB ilk seem to be exemplars of that. There often self confessed social ineptitude, their tantrums, their claims of harrassment, are all symptomatic of those who have not had realistic boundaries placed upon them. I would assume that many of these people are students or have spent their lives in the periphery of academia.Skep tickle wrote:Well, sure.

I'm sure any here that have will appreciate it is often a very insular cossetted existence outside of the mainstream where many never develop beyond their adolescent beliefs and behaviours because they are validated and reinforced rather than challenged, they are caricatures of themselves. I have met a clutch of such in varied different flavours in mostly everywhere I worked. Some are brilliant minds, but one note and often dysfunctional otherwise.
We used to dump them in monastries, now I think we dump them in Humanities.
