PZ pretends to, or really does, hate cats. So, when Coyne shows funny or cute cat vids on Saturdays as 'Caturday', PZ will post and 'Anti-Caturday' other animal. I think he's trying to be funny.

Of course, this won't any since one that spam gets deleted but,
when I was in High School, I had a friend who called his dads new wife the "step stool". It became a meme with a lot of really dirty jokes involved. I think the jokes got him through having to live with her for two years.

Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
Seeing as it is a feminist theory I suspect you may have a bit of difficulty finding anyone outside of that circle jerk discussing it.Mr Danksworth wrote:I'm being a glutton for punishment and looking into feminist intersectionality theory. Does anyone have any links to discussions of the theory outside of the femishpere?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersectionality
So we get people like Marcott loudly proclaiming that any charge brought by a woman should be assumed to be true (thus the trial is all about determining punishment) and not to determine guilt or innocence if a man is alleged to be the perpetrator.Intersectionality is a feminist sociological theory first highlighted by Kimberlé Crenshaw (1989). Intersectionality is a methodology of studying "the relationships among multiple dimensions and modalities of social relationships and subject formations" (McCall 2005). The theory suggests—and seeks to examine how—various biological, social and cultural categories such as gender, race, class, ability, sexual orientation, and other axes of identity interact on multiple and often simultaneous levels, contributing to systematic social inequality. Intersectionality holds that the classical conceptualizations of oppression within society, such as racism, sexism, homophobia, and religion-based bigotry, do not act independently of one another; instead, these forms of oppression interrelate, creating a system of oppression that reflects the "intersection" of multiple forms of discrimination. [1]
http://www.kickaction.ca/node/1499
I am reasonably certain I have mentioned Critical Theory before, well Critical Legal Theory is going to take that one step further (already has according to some people) look into the activities of Catherine Ann MacKinnon for example.The word “intersectionality†comes out of a metaphor coined by the critical legal theorist Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw to explain how race oppression and gender oppression interact in Black women’s lives.
*cackle* I like it actually. Have your enemy change laws to oppress himself, while you just supervise the whole process, while proclaiming yourself to be oppressed. It is beautiful, no denying it. One step further than requiring two female witnesses to be equal to one man, instead the word of one woman supersedes the word of any number of men.
/snark (but not really)
So here we have in Canada the IIRP (Institute for Intersectionality Research and Policy) out of SFU (Simon Fraser University)
http://www.sfu.ca/iirp/index.html
http://www.sfu.ca/iirp/ibpa.htmlThe Institute for Intersectionality Research and Policy anchors a vibrant interdisciplinary community of scholars, researchers and students who have moved to the forefront of intersectional scholarship in Canada. The Institute provides opportunities to collaborate with other organizations, Centres, and Institutes at SFU and beyond who are developing intersectionality as a framework for health research and policy.
BTW, having moved to BC from Ontario, I am under the impression that effective and timely delivery of health care services in BC, is in a worse state that in Ontario (I am involved in volunteer community work so I have seen some of the issues first hand).There is growing recognition that governments should be evaluated by their ability to deliver and implement policy that can correct power imbalances and address differential and distributional health impacts including avoidable, inequitable and unjust differences in the health of diverse groups of people. An intersectionality-based policy analysis (IBPA) Framework has been developed to improve upon current Health Impact Asessment (HIAs) tools and frameworks. This volume provides an overview of the IBPA Framework and brings together scholars who have developed and applied this innovative policy analysis approach to complex health issues in and beyond British Columbia, Canada. The collection demonstrates the ways in which IBPA may be used by diverse policy actors who seek to tackle health inequities when making health and health-relat- ed decisions at the level of policy and programming.
Should be interesting to see what develops further down the road.

Good stuff.. The description of his father's and grandfather's lives reminded me of this interview with a old-timer MRA.Saint N. wrote:From the people that brought you "This is Atheism +"
If you were to give a state of the union address on the condition of modern men, what would some of the highlights be?
Unlike a lot of guys who hang around with “Men’s Rights†types, I’m far more positive about the condition of modern men than most of them. A lot of men are leading longer, healthier, lives than the average man ever has before in history. We have what is from a historic perspective a miraculous level of health care available to us. The modern world is full of convenience, and comfort, and simple survival is no longer the real challenge that it used to be for a lot of men.
I also think men have a great deal more freedom regarding life choices – if they choose to exercise that freedom – than the average man has in the past. The social changes of the past half-century have made the provider role optional for men. We are now free to choose lower stress ways to make a living and pursue that “work-life balance†which is one of the favorite buzzwords of our contemporary culture.
Modern communications technology has made ignorance of any subject a choice – the internet alone puts far more information resources at anyone’s fingertips than even huge university libraries had when I was growing up. Transportation technology gives us mobility that was only dreamed of barely a century ago. I can literally get to almost any part of the world in a few hours – instead a few weeks or months. The real barrier today to a man’s horizons is his motivation, drive, and interest – compared to times past when the simple act of traveling a few hundred miles was arduous and challenging.
And, something which a lot of people don’t think about is the fact that there are fewer men from the United States – both in terms of raw numbers or as a percentage of the population – who are walking around crippled or mutilated as a result of war than at probably any time in the past; certainly in the past 150 years or so.
Statistics and factoids, unfortunately, do not do a very good job of capturing a sense of what an environment is really like. To try to illustrate what social conditions were like in the past compared to today, I like to use the example of building the Panama Canal. Approximately 25,000 men died during its construction. Now, try to imagine for a moment what social conditions must have been like for so many men to find it attractive to take that kind of risk with their lives. How many men do you know today who would volunteer to head off to the jungle and face a high probability of death? The pressures going on in the lives of those men are probably beyond anything we can imagine today.
Or, take the “White Feather†campaign. Imagine being so sensitive to social pressure that having a woman hand you a white feather would be shameful enough that you would sign up to go to war in order to avoid it. I think a lot of men today, probably most if we are talking about younger men, would say “Take that feather and shove it where the sun don’t shine.â€
Or, consider the “Mormon Migration.†Between 1846 and 1868, thousands of people made the arduous 1300-mile journey from Nauvoo, Illinois (or Independence, Missouri) to the area of Salt Lake City, Utah. Many made the trek on foot pushing the sum total of their worldly possessions in a handcart. Many perished along the way.
Imagine a life so hard and hopeless that walking a thousand miles or more dragging everything you own in a handcart was an attractive alternative. Then look around at the life you lead today and try to tell me with a straight face that you don’t have things pretty darned good.

Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
I don't care for so-called "dictionary feminists". When established feminism doesn't look anything like what the dictionary would have one believe, which should I go by? If someone wants to call themselves a feminist, have at it. I'm not going to adopt and promote a label based on some lay person's subjective perception of it, however. And I'm not going to stop criticizing it because someone believes feminism is nothing more than "The radical notion that women are people too." Fuck, I believe women are people too! There's nothing new or radical about that. I support women's rights, and I do it just fine without adopting bullshit "theories".Dick Strawkins wrote: James, the issue I would take with your current stance is that it doesn't take into account the case of "dictionary feminism".
Dictionary feminism is the basic one line description of feminism that most people will give if asked to define it. It goes something like: "feminism is the call for women to be given equal treatment in terms of job and wage opportunities, employment and other basic human rights."
In other words it is a description for humanism as applied to women, and as such it's the sort of stance that most people, whether MRAs or otherwise, accept.
Now I realize the problem is that your opposition to feminism doesn't entail an opposition to the "dictionary feminism" I've just described and, instead, is really an opposition to political feminism (patriarchy theory, rape culture, male privilege, etc), but I think it's worth noting, just in case you are accused of being in favor of withholding basic human rights from women.
To me it's similar to the "moderate" Christian that says "Well, that's not MY Christianity." OK. Great! So, what are you doing to battle this version of Christianity that you claim to oppose? Nothing.
If someone decides that my rejection of feminism means that I hate women and oppose women's rights, and they give me no opportunity to explain my actual position, then they can fuck off too...

I actually worked in two different chocolate factories as a teen, working out of a temp place that sent me to various factories. There used to be both a Neilson's and a Rowntree's here in Toronto, although I think both are now closed or moved. Only one conveyor belt (and I was on a lot of different ones) made me vow to never touch a candy bar that has peanuts in it. I still won't. It was a line where our job was to pull out the bad peanuts as they all went past us. With two of us working each side of the moving assembly line, which was a solid covering of peanuts a foot across, and which were layered double high so half were hidden (!!!), went by us at way too fast of a speed. Nasty, rotted looking, already shelled peanuts slipped past us along with the good ones, and ones we couldn't see at all at the bottom layar, and sometimes there peanut sized contaminants, like one thing I pulled out of there which was some sort of squishy larval cocoon as far as I could tell. Ugh. There were 4 of us pulling out the bad looking stuff, but we had a Lucy and Ethel sort of thing happening. Bad looking things went past us and onwards into the candy bars. We just did our best, and got paid. I was only on that line for a couple of days. I think that was at Neilsons, around 1979 or 80. Rowntrees provided quite fairly timed assembly lines, and they treated everyone really good too. However, while Neilsons was good in the personal hygiene requirement, I was grossed out that none of my Rowntree coworkers seemed to wash their hands after the toilet. They just went back to work where in some cases they directly touched chocolate with their bare hands. And I'll leave the rumours other workers told me out of this, since I didn't see any of those things personally.

Did anyone catch the next-to-last SGU podcast?
Steve Novella mentioned that he had to deal with someone arguing about Queen Bee, and he demolished their arguments and their "hate". Does anybody know who this person was?
Also, they all had a really good laugh at the guy who got knocked over and killed after he dressed up in a "Bigfoot" costume. I've got no problem with that myself, but don't the Baboons have really strict standards about jokes and what people should find amusing?

I guess it was more a rant about MRAs in general but it's a silly idea to complain about others not accepting evidence when all you are offering yourself is a whiney anecdote.

Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
Let me reassure you there was no intent other than humour. Now, if you want to blow it out of proportion, that's your privilege (haha).

If Abbie or Sacha can figure it out, that would be great. I think I'm a little too scared to fuck with things in the administration panel. I clicked onto different tabs, but couldn't find anything from glancing at those.

:-) Although that “blowing it out of proportion†is or was, I think, the point in question and not something to be assumed at the outset ...
May do so. Although the question was raised again in the context of Justicar’s recent video on the topic and I and others may have further things to say on it, particularly as it seems to be part of the ongoing battle with various feminists ....I have nothing to say about this statistics discussion as I've said my bit a year ago on Abbie's thread.

So. You’re infallible then and never make any mistakes? Cool – sounds like a real privilege. But a great many of the rest of us have to kind of shoot from the hip now and again and then correct our aims afterwards through apologies and the like ....AnonymousCowherd wrote:The time to correct this is minutes before posting it (or otherwise making a public goose of yourself), not later, after your friends point out that you've made a huge floater.Steersman wrote: And she apparently corrected the mistake about Galileo “within minutes†of having posted the offending YouTube video.
She may well have more than a few “sins†to “atone†for, but making mountains out of molehills doesn’t seem to reflect terribly well on those doing so. Particularly in comparison to some of the rather more egregious cases in this neck of the woods, notably WoolyBumblebee’s plagiarism ....
