Reverend Jim Jones, I mean, PZ Myers calling Justicar 'vermin' is almost as amusing. But he got it slightly wrong; the word he was looking for was actually 'cockroach' (or 'invenzi', as the Tutsis were called).
This is the guy whose modus operandi (if that is not too big a word for his robotic inanity) consists entirely of telling people how to behave and telling them off.Who the fuck are you to tell anybody how to behave? Think about that before you tell anybody off.Would you not agree that, perhaps, you should cite these before just shouting out accusations?

It's not necessarily the name she uses for her work, however, and it's certainly not the name she uses for her published fictional writing (apart from one brief short story that her friend Henry Gee was kind enough to include in Nature.)

Re: Jim the Pleb Made Me Do It
Miri of Brute Reason (or should that be Brutal Reason?) tries to explain the concept of "privilege",
http://freethoughtblogs.com/brutereason ... privilege/
and uses the same old canards we've heard so many times before. She even gets to add "intersectionality" into the mix. She's quite the loyal subject.
One comment asks if the concept only applies to men, and the response (by one "daniellavine") is thus,
http://www.filibustercartoons.com/chart ... eaders.php
And his view of child custody is even worse, insinuating that in the majority of the cases (bullshit) men doesn't even WANT custody. And, of course, that single mothers have to pay child support. What, and single fathers don't, you fucking dolt?
I swear, this "privilege" thing is getting more and more absurd. And that's regardless if they bring "intersectionality" into it.

I guess the concept of "privilege" is very US-centric in that they use "there has never been a female president" as a point of contention. (Even though she got pretty damn close.) I suppose they forget there had never been an African-American president before either. But then I suppose he's just another man. But in foreign nations, it is not so lopsided. In Sweden, we've had two female prime ministers, nearly all the cabinets are half women, and most of the directors at companies are women. In Germany, there's Angela Merkel, in Australia there's Julia Gillard. In fact, according to this list, there have been a number of women leaders (and presidents) in other nations other than the United States, including India, Pakistan, and Liberia.Miri answers this in one of the comments above, actually. Let me put it this way: a vast majority of members of congress are male. There has never been a female president. A large majority of corporate executives are male. A majority of college professors are male. A majority of doctors are male. A majority of lawyers are male.
A majority of food service personnel are female. A majority of administrative assistants are female. A majority of nurses are female.
The majority of the population is female.
What did you have in mind for examples of female privilege? Usually I hear the fact that they usually get custody of the children in divorces but in a majority of cases men don’t even want custody. Besides that, child custody for a single mother also means that the mother has to pay for child care for when she’s at work and that she has to support two or more people on one person’s income. Doesn’t sound like much of a privilege.

Re: Jim the Pleb Made Me Do It
"Privilege". A word fast becoming as misused as "racist".
When kept, middle-class, American house-wives are telling me to check my privilege because I disagreed with them, without knowing the first thing about me, then I feel quite comfortable in classing that person a complete cunt. Every time they are wrong or don't have an answer out comes the "PRIVILEGE!" card and I'm sick to my back teeth of it.
"Check your privilege" is the feminist answer to "Goddidit".

Now that will remind you of something. Freeze Peach?
Everyone Guilty Three Times a Day
The inevitable result of this seemingly innocuous, or at least hyper-technical, rule is that all students would arguably be guilty of harassment several times a day. According to ED/DOJ standards, even playing uncensored rap music at a college party, posting something controversial on Facebook, or defending former U.S. Representative Todd Akin in class could now constitute "harassment." (And engaging in satire or parody is just inviting expulsion!) It is now up to "victims" - presumably the more oversensitive or even neurotic members of the student community - to decide when unwelcome words constitute actionable harassment. In other words, in a hypothetical 500-person lecture on gender disparities in the workplace, the one person who takes offense to slide five has the power to silence the professor, and to keep the 499 other students from hearing the speech in question. The Supreme Court some time ago referred to this tactic as "burning the house to roast the pig," and has consistently ruled it unconstitutional.

Re: Jim the Pleb Made Me Do It
We haven't had any women prime ministers in Sweden, maybe you're thinking of Finland? IIRC they've had two women as prime ministers, Norway have had one (the one Breivik wanted to murder), and Denmark have one, currently in power.Pitchguest wrote:In Sweden, we've had two female prime ministers, nearly all the cabinets are half women, and most of the directors at companies are women
Neither are most of the directors at companies women, rather the opposite, and there's been quite a lot of talks on if there should or shouldn't be laws forcing companies to hire more women for high positions.
You're right that almost half (45%) of our MPs are women though, and frankly, the biggest reason we haven't had a women PM is likely mostly due to a madman murdering Anna Lindh 10 years ago, and not any deeply rooted sexism or misogyny in the electorate.

Christina Applegate had a double mastectomy several years ago: http://www.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/10/14/o. ... astectomy/
I'm sure if I checked the archives, I'd see that a "lifelong feminist" like Peezy gave her a condescending pat on the head for using her girly brain to make such a big rational decision, yes? Or did he pass over that story in silence because she mentions God and spirituality?

Re: Jim the Pleb Made Me Do It
You're right, I was thinking about Finland. But in any case, many countries have had women leaders to rule them, and the one that I was most surprised to learn have a woman leader was Pakistan, and the second to that was Liberia - a place so riddled in tribalism and Christianity, you would think the prospect of a woman ruling the country would be presposterous. Isn't that remarkable, how in a country where you would expect women to have no privilege to speak of, that one of them should attain seemingly the biggest power of them all? And this in a (former?) American colony?acathode wrote:We haven't had any women prime ministers in Sweden, maybe you're thinking of Finland?

If we're to apply the concept of "privilege" to that election, that would amount to an ideological impossibility. Or perhaps we're just talking about the United States. Or perhaps some feminists are just so insanely rooted in their radicalism that they're blinded to anything else. Case in point: Benson, Zvan, Myers, Lousy, etc. (Speaking of which, did you see Lousy's latest blog post? About Cumberbatch in Star Trek? Somehow it was unsurprising to read the suggestion he subtly weaves in that he thinks should replace Cumberbatch. With ideologues like him, they tend to become less and less unambiguous.)

It reminded me of Haiti after the earthquake, when men simply pushed and shoved in the food lines and women and children couldn’t get any food.

The way she outright singles out women (and children) and just lays the blame on men? I would, with a degree of confidence, say that she's lying her arse off. Or she's misrepresenting the data.ConcentratedH2O, OM wrote:I know that a lot of the developed world's media wrote some pretty outrageous lies about behavior of Haitians after the earthquake, but does anyone know if the below (from Opheliar's ridiculous post on sexist bears) has any significant (ie, more than just a single witnessed incident) basis in truth?

I couldn't with any confidence claim that NO men did this, obviously, but to say with no manner of evidence or proof (FLOOSH?) "when simply pushed and shoved in the food lines and women and children couldn't get any food", that just sounds like fabrication. Not to mention, if these allegations are true, I imagine some of the men shoving and pushing had children of their own, or wives, or whatever, and the way she words it makes it seem they're nothing but selfish bullies.

Yes, we've had two women prime ministers and one president. But it's a very imperfect metric- as Pitchguest mentioned, Pakistan has had a woman PM, so does that make them less patriarchal than Sweden?

Also, yeah, I'd have to second the motion that Ophelia has gone off the deep end. She's still going on about how the debate still on-going on Nugent's (which I thought had ended months ago) makes the case to call her a "cunt" (which it isn't) and then the old Hermit himself makes an appearance to defend her honour, by repeating the allegations that we're there simply to make the case to call women (not "a woman", mind you, but women) "cunts" and other "slurs."
And now this thing about "sexist bears"? Really? Whatever you say, Ophelia. [slowly backs away]

Don't mind my own comments, though, they are mostly drunk...Pitchguest wrote:Also, yeah, I'd have to second the motion that Ophelia has gone off the deep end. She's still going on about how the debate still on-going on Nugent's (which I thought had ended months ago) makes the case to call her a "cunt" (which it isn't) and then the old Hermit himself makes an appearance to defend her honour, by repeating the allegations that we're there simply to make the case to call women (not "a woman", mind you, but women) "cunts" and other "slurs."
And now this thing about "sexist bears"? Really? Whatever you say, Ophelia. [slowly backs away]

Oh, and at least one of the two female NZ Prime Ministers was atheist and initially unmarried/living in sin, the Icelandic PM is lesbian (as I understand it), and the Indian PM was (gasp) a Woman of Colour.KiwiInOz wrote:India, Iceland and NZ have all had female Prime Ministers.windy wrote:...minne, han har tappat sitt minne, är han svensk eller finne...? :)acathode wrote:We haven't had any women prime ministers in Sweden, maybe you're thinking of Finland?

Re: Jim the Pleb Made Me Do It
Canada has had a female PM as well, although it didn't really end well (electorally) for her at all. Not really her fault however.

Re: Jim the Pleb Made Me Do It
However, we should point out that merely being elected president or prime minister doesn't necessarily mean automatically or immediately doing a good job of it. That's probably something to mention to balance out the discussion, because it seems when the SJW's discuss the prospect of women leaders, and women in congress (still being US-centric) and so on and so forth, they speak of it as if this would, well, *miraculously* solve the problem. And that's just nonsense.
It's the same when Anita Sarkeesian (to go a bit off-topic) says there aren't enough women in games, and a woman main character would make it more interesting. Is that a fact? Admittedly I haven't played every game featuring a woman as a main character (of which there are plenty), therefore I can't account for their quality, but as with games featuring a man as a main character there are bound to a few stinkers. And those stinkers, woman as main character or not, did not suddenly make it interesting or better by comparison. For instance, the new game "Remember Me?" with a woman as main looks amazing, both visually and conceptually, at least in the trailers I've seen, but I can't know for sure whether it's good, its story or its gameplay, until I've tried out. And ultimately that's what I, and I suspect any remotely competent game reviewer, looks at and judges the game from: content. Not whether the main is a woman or not.

Brazil, too, has a presidenta (even if the neutral presidente form is the most accepted one, a bunch of bootlickers insist in using the forced female form of the noun.

haha! I thought the same thing when reading that. I've been to a few atheist events and they were filled with people who believe in all sorts of pseudoscience, conspiracy theories, and logical fallacies. Give me a deist sceptic over a woo-believing atheist any day.
And I fucking hate to side with PZ on the subject of breasts, but really, breasts are not important, unless you want to breast feed a child, and they can rebuild breasts out of one's own fat and tissue from another part of their body, so "fake tits" is a spectrum.
Re: Jim the Pleb Made Me Do It
Okay, so I admit, because I'm not as stupid as humanly possible, I generally stay the fuck out of FTB comment threads. I don't have to actually dive into shit to know that it smells bad when it's on you, but because Ally is thus far, different, I've been hanging out there.
Are the normal cast of dipshits over there really stupid? I mean, morales asks a question that as asked is meaningless:
Which I tell him:
I know i'm not up on all the myriad defects commenting over there, but is that actually how they all tend to work? Because if so, they'd need to study for a month just to get A collective IQ point. I mean a single one.
Are the normal cast of dipshits over there really stupid? I mean, morales asks a question that as asked is meaningless:
I reply to that and another related comment, and state why I think it's meaningless. I think I am clear on that:What do you imagine feminism’s stance regarding women in the military to be, and what do you understand the opposition to that stance to be?
and what does morales do? HE ASKS IT AGAIN...because...then I'll change my mind? No, really:Pen, I think the cannon-fodder thing is related, but tends to get into the weeds really quickly. For example, Morales’ comment, which contains a huge issue as written, namely the implication that there is this thing called “feminism†that has a singular coherent viewpoint.
That’s not even slightly correct. There are groups of people of varying size that support certain ideals and actions that have been shoved under the umbrella of “feminismâ€, but just like any loose confederation of groups of people, you find that the only thing they seem to agree on is the particular spelling of “feminism†in a given language.
For example, there are a few radfem groups that are of the opinion that transfolk are either sekret rapists or sekret chill girls. Now, the *vast* majority of feminists or people who support parts of feminism without the label would think that’s completely stupid, yet, those groups claim the lable just as much as say, NOW.
So you can’t ask what “…you imagine feminism’s stance…†is on anything, because there’s nothing that is “feminismâ€. It’s a bag of cats as a term. You may as well ask what blondes think of something, you’ll get the same level of accuracy for all people who have blonde hair. The only way to ask what “feminism†thinks is to ask about specific named feminist groups who have issued statements on the subject.
WHY WOULD MY ANSWER CHANGE WHEN THE QUESTION HAS NOT????John C. Welch:Well, I can (and I did!). And you responded that it’s a meaningless question.So you can’t ask what “…you imagine feminism’s stance…†is on anything, because there’s nothing that is “feminismâ€. It’s a bag of cats as a term.

The only way to ask what “feminism†thinks is to ask about specific named feminist groups who have issued statements on the subject.
Fine.
So, what do you imagine feminists’ stance regarding women in the military to be, and what do you understand the opposition to that stance to be?
Which I tell him:
I mean holy fuck, do people really fall for that shit? "Well, since you keep asking me a meaningless question Lucy, what the fuck, I'll try to kick that footbAAAAAAUGH MY BACK, IT HURTS SO BAD!!!!"You know Morales, i’m puzzled. I just said, pretty clearly, that, at least as I see it, there’s no way you can say what “feminists†say about *anything* because they are not some kind of homogenous group that has a unified statement on everything. I even gave a small example of how some of the groups on the fringe have some opinions that the more mainstream groups would consider idiocy.
You *acknowledge* that I said that, and correctly interpret that I think what you asked is a meaningless question.
You then immediately ask me the same fucking question that I just stated was meaningless because you cannot say what feminists think because as an overall group, they have no single unified opinion on anything.
Which now makes me really curious about something, and if you can provide some detail here, it would be interesting, to wit: If it was a meaningless question the first time you asked it, why would that change? It is still a meaningless question as asked, even if you ask it a second time.
Should you do nothing in the comments on this post until the heat death of the universe but ask this same question of me over, and over, and over again, my response shall not change. The question you asked is meaningless. If you want to change it to reference a specific group that has actually talked about this, then my response would also change, but what you asked me is, by any practical means, literally unanswerable.
Were I a cynical man, (and as an IT person, I am, in truth, very cynical), i would suggest that you are deliberately asking the question this way so that no matter how I answer, you can, of course, find a feminist group that disagrees, and therefore be able to accuse me of not knowing anything about feminism.
So ask that question a third time, or three hundred times. Ask it until your fingers bleed and your computer breaks down into its component elements. It is still meaningless, and until you change that question to have some specific meaning, my response is the same as the first one you read was
I know i'm not up on all the myriad defects commenting over there, but is that actually how they all tend to work? Because if so, they'd need to study for a month just to get A collective IQ point. I mean a single one.
Re: Jim the Pleb Made Me Do It
A female character would not, by herself, make a shitty game any less shitty, or vice-versa. Zelda: Wand of Gamelon was the first Zelda game were you played as the Princess, and it is horrible. Would Link made it any better? Well, Zelda: Faces of Evil is basically the same game with Link as the protagonist, and guess what? It is as awful as the other.Pitchguest wrote:However, we should point out that merely being elected president or prime minister doesn't necessarily mean automatically or immediately doing a good job of it.

Re: Jim the Pleb Made Me Do It
Five of my primary care patients have had bilateral mastectomies, 3 for cancer and 2 for BRCA2. Ages ranged from 35-50 at the time of surgery. One had tissue expanders placed at the time of mastectomy (with implants later inserted surgically into the space formed); another had tissue expanders 15 yrs after her mastectomies, then implants. The other 3 have chosen to go without reconstruction. And I have quite a few patients who have had a unilateral mastectomy & chose not to have reconstruction.sacha wrote:Eskarina wrote:I found this highlighted (by me) statement incredibly dumb.

I see what I do as helping individuals - quite a few individuals, maybe a couple of thousand over my career - but not as helping humanity. And given what I do, some of it is helping people in their inevitable walk toward, and through, death's door. So thanks, but I'm not putting that crown on.
"Helping humanity" to me would mean helping many, many people live their lives the way they want to, which I tend to assume would mean happy & healthy & having available a range of life choices they would like to make, without hurting anyone else.

I beg to quibble over your second paragraph. You are one of a group of people whose work seeks to help rather than hurt humanity. No crown, just reality. And palliative care is an incredibly important aspect of that.
And to your third - all one can do is make a contribution to the best of one's ability.
So I'll bloody well thank you for your service to humanity, and there's not a bloody thing you can do about it. So there.
