I figure he's probably a competent professor, but his publishing record is basically zilch -- he is more of a science teacher than a practicing "scientist." And if you're not doing a lot of original research you don't have much opportunity or motivation to fudge the facts or let your ideology obscure them. If PZ were in a soft science or any field with more room for interpretation, and trying to publish more actively, I have every reason to believe his shitty, self-serving ethics and his cavalier attitude toward the truth would be quite evident in his work.

No, if he does not know that he is a complete idiot, he is just playing the 'evidence' game.

Yes he is behaving as a soft scientist while claiming to be a hard one.

I'm calling troll on that Strubbe character - looks to me like he was trying to push all the buttons short of declaring that he likes to go out on the rapey-rapey for a lark.

I see the Nerd app is having another meltdown over there - looks like it's need of an upgrade; 'adequacy101.DLL' might have been feasable if the OS wasn't so obviously buggy.

Were i to find out that Nerd has never been in an intimate relationship with another human being that did not begin and end with "services rendered", I'd not be surprised in the least.

Steersman wrote: Yes, quite agree. I think part of the problem is that I didn’t notice that Andrew said “If I can ridicule people for their bad ideas then they should be equally free to ridicule mine” which says that he can ridicule people for their ideas but they can only ridicule his ideas – probably not what he intended.
I do see how it could be read that way. Intent is not magic and all that, and it could be viewed, and with justification as sloppy.

So let me flesh that out for you:

"If I can ridicule people for their bad ideas then they should be equally free to ridicule me for mine”

I do reserve the right the right to say they are stupid, instead of just saying the idea is stupid. Likewise I have no objection to them doing the same.

Although while I may refrain from doing so and just attack the idea, I have no particular objection to being attacked personally in return.

It brings a smile to my face, because it tells me that they have no argument, or have run out of arguments and have to resort to attacking my corpus, rather than my idea.

Furthermore, when they do something like say, call Phil a MRA, no doubt intended to be in their eyes as a deadly insult, designed to wound, and be especially hurtful, they have no grounds to complain if someone then photoshops the head of PeeZuss Christ on top of a dildo.

You can argue of course that the two are not the same. But at that point you may as well ask me how many fucks I give while you are at it.

Before you leap, just keep in mind that saying "male and female" when referring to humans is apparently now verboten at Pharyngula, and in addition to "homosexual" it looks like "stupid" may be upgraded to the status of slur at A+theism.

If you hear someone say something like, "Certain male homosexuals, such as Josh the Spokesgay and Tony the Queer Shoop, are stupid," you should make sure to point out that the offender is a homophobic, fascist, ableist, motherfucking nazi.
My response is to say male and female as often as possible, and in fact to try and use them when I would normally have said man and woman.

Just like I have said cunt here in the last year or so, around a bazillion times more than I ever had before in my entire life. Likewise all the other bad wurds you get from me.

I suppose strictly speaking that qualifies as trolling.

I didn't follow his argument throught hte entire comment section but his initial argument seems sound for "stranger rape". We men are also advised to 1. Travel in groups/with a buddy (at night especially). 2. Do not go into seedy parts of town/ known violent areas. 3. Don't flash a lot of cash around. etc. These are basic precautions that everyone must decide to follow (or not) to help reduce risk of all "stranger crime".

Now when the hoard began to apply these rules to "non-stranger rape" (date rape, marital rape etc.) then his argument was not applicable and he should have said so. Owlglass then eloquently set out a program which IMO has a chance of reducing the date rape type of cases.

In that exchange, mythbri cites : this as a source. It is a link to a blog that has a dead link (404) to a (feminist) critique of another study, entitled "Just Say No? The Use of Conversation Analysis In Developing A Feminist Perspective On Sexual Refusal,"(sic)

I've been trying to work it out based on context.

Is it a Male Rights Association (member)?

A Male Rights Associate?

A Male Rights Advocate?

Am I at least on the right track?
Last I heard it meant Men's Rights Activist.

But I am apparently out of the loop these days. They went and changed it from MRM (Men's Rights Movement) to MHRM (Men's Human Rights Movement) without sending me the memo.

For all I know they think I went feral like Kurtz or something because I have not checked in for quite awhile now, instead I spend more time here than there. Willard might even be heading upriver for a few words even as we speak.

I am a tad miffed. So fuck them, fuck them into the ground.

I have this horrible vision of Astrokid NJ (or some other misogynist asshat) standing up at a Nobel Prize presentation in which the prize is going to a woman and shouting, “Tits or GTFO!”

Sorry, what?

:confusion-confused:

Improbable Joe also has that weird habit of typing [meta] before his posts when they're not in the slightest. Some kind of inside joke?

Yeah I believe she had a stroke or something and he is her full-time caregiver -- meals, help to the bathroom, everything. I admire him for his apparent devotion, not that it makes him less of a moronic, obnoxious piece of shit as a commenter.

Dr Janice Fiamengo, a professor of English at the University of Ottawa, gave a talk at the University of Toronto about the politicisation of academia by militant feminists.

So I expect this is why MRAs were interested in what she had to say.

I also suspect that this talk may be relevant here also, because we have P.Z. Myers and others attempting to inject some form of feminist ideology into the S/A community.

http://www.avoiceformen.com/university- ... sentation/
As promised, here is the complete talk by Dr. Janice Fiamengo at the University of Toronto. Enjoy, and thanks again to Dan Perrins and Christian Chiasson.

Part 1 -

Part 2 -

Part 3 -

Part 4 -

Part 5 -

Part 6 -

Part 7 -

Tidbits and special features Part 0 -
No idea if this includes the Q&A where apparently she gave a "weak" response to at least one question.

About to listen to the series myself.

YMMV

Totally agree. The fact that PZ and everyone else let him get away with his schtick is sad. He gets a little snark from fellow Pharyngulites occasionally, which warms my heart, but mostly they let him stumble around and piss in the corner with impunity.

She does seem interesting. Many academics are annoyed by having to live and breathe political correctness, but relatively few have the guts to speak up about it.

I really have never thought of PZ as a "scientist", and that's not meant to be a dig at him. Scientists do research, publish papers, etc. They do science. Whatever PZ did of that was a long time ago. To me, he has always been more of a biology teacher than a scientist. OK, so he tortures the occasional zebrafish.

I understand you wish to highlight the differences between the pitters and the Nazis. But I ask you to honor the same request you made to Setar, and not hyperbolize slurs, harassment, rape threats, and assault threats into "immature disagreement".
Come on folks, 'fess up, who's been doing the rape and assault (?) threats to the poor A+:sers again? It's not like they'd just make up shit like that, would they? Cause they're decent and good and moral people over there, aren't they?

Personally I'm disappointed the guy who dared point out that fascists like, murdered a few million people, hasn't been banned yet. Come on A+ mods, you know you want to!

Might explain his behavior, at least partially. I've been in somewhat of a similar position in the past, and the need to vent can be strong.

Sorry, what?

Improbable Joe also has that weird habit of typing [meta] before his posts when they're not in the slightest. Some kind of inside joke?

Needing to vent is one thing. Being a relentless shit is something else.

Ah, you beat me to it.
If PZ were in a soft science or any field with more room for interpretation, and trying to publish more actively, I have every reason to believe his shitty, self-serving ethics and his cavalier attitude toward the truth would be quite evident in his work.
He'd be a peddler of woo, like Deepak Chopra. Actually, he already is.

I really have never thought of PZ as a "scientist", and that's not meant to be a dig at him. Scientists do research, publish papers, etc. They do science. Whatever PZ did of that was a long time ago. To me, he has always been more of a biology teacher than a scientist. OK, so he tortures the occasional zebrafish.

I've been following that thread as it's produced a good few laughs. They are so up their own fundaments there is nothing they won't find fault with. Also e4e5 is the first person on there I have seen using reason and logic. He's screwed.

Yes, especially if he is struggling to get assistance.

Should quote Setar too, for context, and lulz.
And this is exactly what I meant when I put "OH NOES, I REFERENCED TEH NAZIS" in brackets -- because I knew that someone was going to come along with a big crying eraser about how Fascism is REALLY REALLY ACTUALLY BAD and to not compare the Slymepit to that because that's unfair.

Have you ever stopped to think that maybe I know a thing or two about Fascism, and the comparison might have something more to it than pure hyperbole? Like, y'know, observing similarities in behaviour, even if the medium and thus the available courses of action are different? Do I not get to do that where Fascism is concerned?
I'm betting that Setar is sitting in a smoky room right now watching the history channel and jotting down notes. Maybe underlining "demonisation of the out-group" a few times, unaware of the irony.

Lighthearted joke or horrible death threat against a pitter?

http://img28.imageshack.us/img28/826/whatna.png

For the record, I can see it as a joke, although a rather morbid one. But this again reeks of hypocrisy coming from people who milk every instance of a person saying "I wish you got ... " or "If I were a girl I would ...".

Again, it's a joke if they doing, a horrible violent misogynistic death threat if someone else does it.

By the way, I didn't quote-mine Setar above. I know it might look like that, but that's really the entire post.

re the Minnesota concentration... So lousy canuck is moving there? Did he win the green card lottery or is he going to be an illegal? Maybe PZ thinks he can get him to cut his lawn.

About 15 yeary ago my sister and her family moved to South Dakota to a town not far from Morris and of similar size. Quite the culture shock for her. For instance, she was shunned for a while, until she figured out why. It got better after she explained a few times that she and her husband were indeed married even though they had different last names. And the town absolutely revolves around the highschool football team. She summarized living there as living in the 1950s except with suvs everywhere.

So this is likely true in Morris too and may have coloured the views of this cabal, although likely not so bad for those in bigger cities in the state.

My last post should say "it's a joke if they do it" instead of "it's a joke if they doing". And I even previewed it :(

By the way, per AnthonyK/Brownstain over at the 'Gulag, first comment in response to PZ's post about a black woman pioneer who was a rare voice speaking out against lynching in the 19th Century:
AnthonyK wrote:I understand the website “A Voice for Lynching” was still trying to attract talented young photoshoppers to provide content at the time, but yes, those radical anti-lynchers were a minority fringe then.
Ha ha ha ha ha - isn't that funny? The Slymepit = AVfM = a mob of racist terrorists. Presumably now that it's fashionable in baboon-land to compare equity feminists and others who disagree to Stormfront, the Nazis, fascists, mass-murderers, and homicidal vigilantes, they will stop complaining when people like Paula Kirby refer to them as the femistasi. But I won't hold my breath.
