It is not that 'people on the left' think that misogyny and homophobia don't exist in Islam, it's that it is not an especially relevant criticism in America and Canada where there are entire political parties full of racist homophobes who are much more dangerous. You don't have to be Muslim to be racist or homophobic. We can talk about racism and homophobia without singling out one religious group and acting like it is especially their problem. And when those political parties can understand your words as backing their hatred of Muslims as well, then there's a problem in the way you are presenting the information. We 'on the left' are not willing to single out Muslims as an exceptional threat. We are not willing to dogpile a hated minority. We are willing to acknowledge #NotAllMuslims the same way we are willing to acknowledge #NotAllChristians. There is a wide range of beliefs in Islam just as there are wide variations of beliefs in Christianity. We cannot group all people of one color or one religion together and insist they are all equally dangerous. And it is especially wrong when the effects of your words cause people who aren't even of the same religion to be feared and murdered just because they look 'Arabic'. What you are seeing 'from the left' is pushback against dangerous racism and xenophobia that is causing real harm to people in our countries - much more harm than Islam is causing. And if Namazie is continually being told that this is how her words come across, that her position supports white supremacists (because white supremacists take her words as being supportive) then perhaps it's time for some reflection on her part as to why. Also, I highly doubt it is 'people on the Left' calling her an imperialist, a white supremacist, or a race betrayer. That sounds like criticism from conservative religious Muslims TBH.

Cuz honor killings and Islamic violence never happen in America and Canada, right?

I was really upset when a fellow argued that fetuses post-viability were capable of feeling pain. They are not. They are non-sentient until birth, as they are hypoxic in utero. Until a fetus breathes, it cannot feel a thing. They have the capacity for sentience, but that is it.

And lots of calls to police evil words like "crazy".

Oh, and my very very first job as a stripper was simulated lesbian porn on stage. With a contortionist.

I drove 20 hours to be told 'oh, btw, we will be simulating hot lesbo sex'. "What, they didn't tell you? "

I am a good sport though, so yeah. I didn't have a clue what I was doing though, and she had to give me directions.

"OK pretend to eat my pussy out now"

"You know, your hair is really long, that's great, they can't actually see that you're just pretending"

The audience loved it though, because I was soooooooooo sweet and innocent and utterly clueless.

I wanna see video conformation of this.

I'd be happy with a video re creation.

Ethnographic Considerations of Posthuman
Performantivity in Canada's Rocky Mountains

This essay engages feminist science studies and theories of performativity to inject with dynamism familiar figurations of static being. Through the modalities of ethnographic writing, memory, and embodied experience, I enact a lively engagement with Canada’s Rocky Mountains. By shifting the way we understand this unique, constitutive feature of the Canadian West, I suggest an approach to ethics that expands categories of agency, disaggregating it from realms of human exceptionalism. Through the analytic of performativity, I attend to the dynamic and agentive capacity/ies of glacial bodies, mountains, and lichen—nonhuman bodies considered passive and inert by prevailing epistemologies—to make/materialize meaning. I animate the argument that what we call nature is not a passive, immutable surface on which culture is inscribed, but rather is the production of active, agential practices, each containing divergent wills to power immanent with the capacity to make cuts of their own. The aim of this writing is to think through how mountains, and other such complex living systems, might pose a necessary series of questions to prevailing epistemologies and systems of epistemological capture.

The historical Jesus position requires us to posit (1) the existence of a movement following a flesh-and-blood rabbi which (2) became a movement worshipping a celestial divine figure seated on his throne of judgment at the right hand of god and (3) forgetting in the process that the flesh-and-blood rabbi never actually claimed to be divine.

Either way, you have to deal with (at least) two distinctly different and seemingly incompatible movements.

One need only posit a cult that worshipped a Joshua redivivus with cyclical manifestations as an earthly messiah (each of whom acquire the cognomen 'Joshua/Jesus'). The 'Fourth Philosophy" described by Josephus (of which the Qumram community most likely was a part) fits the bill nicely, with James as its leader.

One then need posit a co-opting of this revolutionary, anti-Roman movement by a 'collaborator', who redirected or even inverted its tenets to: 1) appeal to hellenes with an emphasis on the celestial nature of the god; 2) not piss of the Romans. Our prime suspect is Paul; his progeny, the various gnostic & docetic sects.

Finally, we need a splinter sect of the first, that ditched the revolutionary goal, but still retained the Jewish tradition and the emphasis on the earthly half of the god. This is the Roman church, with Peter as its real or imagined founder.


The first sect was severely damaged in the Great Revolt which it instigated, and then obliterated following the Bar Kochba Revolt, which it also instigated. (Though its legacy passed to Islam.)

The second group was initially the more dominant, but was eventually absorbed & erased by the third -- The Roman Catholic Church.

[Matt Cavanaugh]

The Jesus that was accepted by the Roman world may have been very different than the Jesus of the obscure Jewish cult it came from.
He is like Hercules, a demigod that has God for a dad and some inconsequential wench for a mom, he realizes his godly/magic when he grows up and goes to heaven/Mt. Olympus after a dramatic death.
Meanwhile, in the Roman world dead emperors became gods after they died, so men becoming gods was normal and believable.
The Jews expected Messiahs from the times more than a century before Jebus to a century after him but he wasn't supposed to be godlike, but a human blessed by god like David. These guys were crucified and otherwise executed by the score by the Greeks and later the Romans. There were plenty of Judas and theudas, and no doubt more than one Yeshua.
My thought is Jesus is a construct of several jewish leaders, such as John the Baptist and whoever the Teacher of Righteousness from the Dead Sea Scrolls was, and others that were never documented.
I think that Jesus is more of a legend or a myth than a historical figure.

And each of those guys would've been nicknamed, or at least thought of, as Joshua ("Jesus"). There may have been a Jesus c. AD 33 who kicked things off by getting crucified, but most of the 'biographical' material on the gospel Jesus would've come from these later guys, all blended together.

[Shatterface]

Also, Blazing Saddles is awesome, and radical lesbian separatists wouldn't be anywhere near so annoying if they'd put their money where their mouth is and actually live separately from mainstream "patriarchal society", leaving the rest of us alone.

But Lesbos is full of Islamists so where would they go?

OTOH I can't think of a single cult that has been formed on behalf of a person who is alleged to have died and resurrected 40 or 50 years ago, whose existence can't actually be verified.

Carrier brings up the examples of the John Frum cult. I'm not a mythicist but I have to say that the example fits.

Cargo cults do not, however, make good parallels for jesus mythicism. For cargo cults have a definite historical origin -- SeaBees. One of whom was a "John from ___ "

Where do I overstate the relevance of peer review?

This coming from the guy who would claim his farts were peer-reviewed if he thought he could get away with it. He can't mention any of his publications without compulsively boasting that it was peer-reviewed. It's "my peer-reviewed this" and "my peer-reviewed that". It comes across as neurotic. As obsessive. Yeah, that is overstating it, Dicky.

Well, he's now on record as claiming (quite clearly) that the full ms was reviewed before he got a contract. If the reviewers really provided yes/no feedback, then this is peer-review.

If someone wants to verify his claim with Sheffield-Phoenix, I'd be delighted to hear their response.

Either way, you have to deal with (at least) two distinctly different and seemingly incompatible movements. The crucial question is which one came first. Carrier’s argument is essentially that you can tell which one came first by looking at the evolution of doctrine on a timeline starting at the genuine Pauline epistles and going forward from there.

Actually, Step Two is a well-observed technique for dealing with cognitive dissonance "when prophecy fails". See Festinger's book of the same name, where the failure of the aliens to arrive in a nuts'n'bolts flying saucer was transmuted into their successful arrival on a spiritual plane, or something of the sort, no pun intended.

That does seem like a very plausible way to transform a real person (with Messianic pretensions and/or expectations built up around him) into a heavenly ruler. I recommend this excellent post at Skeptic Ink for further reading. Also, this one.

As to the reverse process, by which a mythical or allegorical figure is turned into an historical one, I'm sort of at a loss as to how that happens. I'm guessing that the originally obvious allegorical meaning is gradually stripped away as oral tradition is transmitted outside of its original cultural context, e.g. from Judean to Hellenistic listeners.

Last time I checked, in utero hypoxia was a disorder, not the norm, often caused by smoking.*

...I mean, you wouldnt be wrong...

I used to have a bit of a routine about men not fantasizing about actual lesbians, but porno-lesbians, abbreviated plesbians (the p is silent). While plesbians like to do lesbian things, they also love a good dicking and so are always looking for a penis-person to join them when they do lesbian things. Plesbians are better known as bisexual sluts.

I used to work in a garage, and I asked the guys what it was about lesbo porn that they found so exciting. I said 'is it the idea that two hot lesbos will be getting it on, and that you will just be casually walking by and that they will demand that you join in?'

Yes, that was it.

See that's not it at all for me (and most of my pr0n is lesbian). I just like looking at two women getting it on, particularly if they both seem to be really into it, as in flushed skin, weird sounds that aren't overdone porno moans, etc. Imagination and porn seem somehow incompatible to me.

Erm...We are the only species to mate because we are attracted to each other, without it we would die out. Every other species on the planet has some hormonal (mating) reproduction strategy. I'm not playing down human's hormonal factors in the part of the attraction we have for each other.

The mythicism position requires us to posit (1) the existence of a movement worshipping a celestial-but-not-historical Jesus, which (2) became a movement worshipping a historical-yet-divine Jesus, (3) forgetting in the process that it had ever worshipped a celestial-but-not-historical Jesus, in the space of the handful of decades between Paul's last letter and the first Gospel. Those three things need more support than pointing out inconsistencies in the traditional story before they can be accepted.

Yes, and we have textual evidence for those positions, so we're not multiplying entities beyond necessity. Hence, more parsimonious than mythicism. Stress, not necessarily true, but more parsimonious than mythicism.

Isn't the order the wrong way around? Paul worships a Jesus through whom all things were created. Then in Matthew, he becomes a flesh-and-blood rabbi. I'm pretty sure Matthew is the first Gospel to use the word 'rabbi'.

In Galatians 1:1, we have textual evidence that Paul did not regard Jesus as a flesh and blood man

Paul, an apostle—sent not from men nor by a man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead...

Historicists have to really work hard to change 'sent not by a man, but by Jesus' into 'sent by a man, namely Jesus'.

But they can do it. That's what they get the big bucks for.

Yes step 2 is just embellishment while step 1 is a new invention as in

Person 1 "You know that Jesus character your grandad met, well he is actually a God"
Person 2 "Well Grandad always thought he was special"
is more plausible than
Person 1 "You know that Jesus he was actually a famous prophet who wandered around Judea 30 years ago"
Person 2 "Strange, my family came from there and as they are Christians you think they would have mentioned it"

I'm going with not sarcasm, but maybe you mean we are one of the few animal species that do not have defined mating seasons? All animals have attractions which are hormonal - you can't get away with it in humans - it works the same way. We like to think we have control over it, or make conscious choices, but that's not how it goes. We can justify our attractions to certain people after the fact, or find things about them which counteract our attractions, but we don't make choices about who we are attracted to. We all have innate tendencies and biases, likes and dislikes, which factor in with "subconscious" attractions. We do (seemingly ;) ) have a choice in whether we act on those attractions (for the most part, I think most of us have probably known or heard of someone without this capacity to some degree, and there are probably pathologies where someone has diminished or no control over the impulses). I've never seen anything about human beings choosing whether they are attracted to anyone or not - as far as I can tell, the current state of affairs is pretty much like all decision making - evidence we make them and justify them afterwards. Could be wrong, I haven't kept up with it except tangentially, so my knowledge may be dated.

Simply amazing: for one thing, I'll stop calling Jenner "Bruce" and referring to him as "he" when he returns his "Woman of the Year" award. While I suppose that "we" might redefine the word "her" to refer to both "real" women and "transwomen" - pay the word extra, I figure calling a guy still with a functioning dick and testicles - Jenner did sire 4 or 5 kids if I'm not mistaken - is an outright abuse of language and logic - a bridge not just too far, but one in the next galaxy - "far, far, away".

And for another, I'm not against the idea of "untying gender from sex", even if I think the concept of "gender" is largely incohent twaddle - as suggested by the fact that Facebook allows selection of 1 of 56 genders; really need to provide 7 billion (for starters). What I object to is the insistence that "woman" is merely a gender, and the tendency to engage in the fallacy of equivocation. Enough to make a man - or a woman or a transwoman or a transman (did I miss anyone?) - spit.

And for a third, never met so many so unwilling to actually address an argument that disputes or questions their dogma, their received "wisdom". Go ahead "Lux" (a misnomer if ever I saw one as they sure aren't shedding much light on the matter) - stick your head in the sand, or someplace else where the sun don't shine.

I frankly don't know what you expected to happen, Steers. The people you talked with are trans activists and you thought you could argue with them that you can refuse to acknowledge their identity. ....

Actually I had expected to get shot at sunrise, to be banned after my first comment, in part because I'd had a few exchanges with Zinnia and Melby on the topic on Twitter, at which point Zinnia had promptly blocked me. I figured that either she was asleep at the switch, vacationing, or maybe having second thoughts about her prospective course of action. Or maybe Myers had suggested that with FTB's Alexa ratings tanking, it might be a wise idea to be a little less dogmatic and draconian in the banning.

In any case, regardless of the reason for my ephemeral carte blanche, I appreciate having had the use of their soapboxes for half-a-dozen or so comments. While it sucks a bit to have been banned, at least I managed to read into the record a dissenting point of view - they might still pay some dividends. While venting here in the Pit has its values, the "battle for the hearts and minds" isn't going to be won except by actually engaging with "the enemy" on the front lines - so to speak.

I saw this article linked somewhere and wondered whether it had been posted here before.
It's from April 21st last year, and involves a sexual assault accusation against a student at Brandeis College.
It's noteworthy for two reasons.
1. It doesn't involve any women (both accused and accusee are men), and
2. It takes the 'consent-required-for-every-sexual-act-or-else-it's-rape' to it's logical conclusion.

Brandeis branded gay student a rapist for awaking boyfriend with a kiss, suit says

http://www.thecollegefix.com/post/22135/

It looks a typical case of using accusations for revenge purposes after a relationship ended - and a typical case of SJWs branding normal sexual relations as being borderline rapey.
If this sort of thing (waking a lover with a kiss) can get you kicked out of school as a rapist, then almost anyyone who has been involved in a sexual relationship will be in danger of being judged guilty of something equally 'borderline'.
Well, they would be if the rules get applied equally to everyone.

Someone here mentioned an incident at their work/college where they had a consent training session and that they brought the trainer to tears by asking her if she was quilty of ever straying into these borderline areas in her past relationships (thus implying that she was guilty of sexual assault). Of course the way they are defined means that unless the person is a fucking asexual nun then they will be just as guilty of it as the rest of us. - And guilt, in the Catholic sense, seems to be where we are heading. There is no way that you can engage in sexual relations without crossing the border into SJW defined consent issues.

Imagine a situation where you were going to have a sexual relationship with someone that complied with all SJW consent guidelines.
For a start you'd both have to be completely sober.
Second you'd have to ask permission for everything and get a verbal reply.

If I were a conservative working for the Catholic Church or one of these evangelical virginity promoting organizations I would be putting all my resources into pushing this SJW consent agenda because if there is one thing more likely to stop people having sex it is getting them to try doing it according to SJW rules.

Oh, you mean evil bisexual women who just didn't want to give up male approval.

As opposed to the only mildly misbehaving bisexual women who would be happy to give up male approval, but were reluctant to give up the warm throbbing cocks?

Or is "male approval" a euphemism?

A euphemism for consent maybe? Nowadays that approval would have to be enthusiastically vocalized. Oh wait a minute, the people pushing for the new politically correct way for comrades to consent probably only mean the female consent. I doubt they care about the man consenting.

When are you guys going to stop reaping???

I think these classes sound excellent, but—and this is an important point—we also need classes just like this for American men entering college in the U.S. In fact, feminists have been pushing for years to get college campuses to educate incoming male freshmen on consent and, well, not sexually assaulting their female peers. It is not only brown men who need classes on sexual assault and appropriate behavior, it is also white men, and men of every other shade (and women, too).

and we’re predominantly talking about white men here

So yes, I think classes educating immigrants about the cultural differences of their new countries could be helpful, just as I think other integration programs will likely be helpful. But when I read these sorts of proposals I can’t help but think about how much I’d like to see white men in my own country required to take similar classes and learn similar lessons

I am really happy that the Cologne attacks have finally started a conversation about how white men cunt stop reaping because we don't talk about it *nearly* enough, do we?

If, as Bob Price asserts, Mark is nothing but a late 1st century midrash on Isaiah, Daniel & Amos, then it truly is a strange coincidence that Jesus' doings on the Mount of Olives and in the Temple are so closely paralleled by "The Egyptian" (c. AD 52) and Menahem (AD 66-70), both of whom claimed to be messianic Joshuas (a.k.a. "Jesuses") and kings of the jews.

And, of course, the mythicists' favorite maneuver is to declare anything contradictory to their thesis an interpolation.

You seem to know your shit. Could a recommend a few books on this subject?

Oktoberfest is just as bad as Cologne cuz rape is underreported

Reminds me of how the Harper government tried to justify NSA style surveillance by stating that rates of un-reported crime were going up.

My guess is pure 100% trolling. The general consensus these days is that Wu is a MASSIVE troll who enjoys being in the middle of absolute shitstorms and does her level best to piss people off as much as possible.

Clearly delusional. Because according to chromosomal DNA at least, she herself is a male feminist. And no-one praises her for anything.

Some local wank about the wage gap. Amazing sense in the comments though. I read it and I'm like hey, people recognise sensationalising stupidity.
