The first “Elevator date” occurred at 2:30am Saturday morning dated 4th June 2011. This hotel room “blogtv” date was conducted the night/morning before Rebecca Watson took to the stage to talk about whatever the heck she talked about.

The second “Elevator date” occurred at 4:00am Sunday morning dated 5th June 2011. This event took place after Watson’s panel discussion, which places the creepo-guy incident the following night.

So what’s the punchline? WTF did i waste an hour writing this blog? Um, just a word to the wise here guys, if you’re going to invite the Bexter up to your room, make sure you’re as famous as fuck, run a blogtv channel and have plenty of booze. Fuck the coffee okayish?

Ah right. As Strawkins said, it did seem a bit too good to be true. Still, only a day apart...and it does seem weirdly congruent with what happened as regards Elevator Guy. Who knows, maybe EG got wind of what Becky & DRPJones got up to, and next day figured Ms Potato Face might be amenable to another hotel room invite.

What if elevatorguy was Becky's reflection?

Well she does claim to have prosopagnosia.

:burn: :burn: :burn:

Prosopagnosia also affects the ability to remember your own face so maybe it's something she picked up deliberately.

I don't think she is making the whole thing up. I don't even think she ever intended it to be a thing. It was a throwaway line that started a shit storm. It was the shooting of Archduke Ferdinand.


I also don't believe she was walking around asking people not to hit on her. I mean who the fuck does that?

Once again, showing how sadly deluded you are. Archduke Ferdinand was never shot. Links to websites that prove it are forthcoming.

Brianna Wu is having a moment on twitter. Her hit squad followers are raging at her friend Jesse Singal over that trans clinic article (it's well worth a read http://nymag.com/scienceofus/2016/02/fi ... fired.html I've been following this for a while, and it's mind-blowing how screwed up the whole trans activism scene is becoming).

That article made me cry.
An old man demonized, people playing politics with science and worse - with kids. Some kids lives will be ruined by this. It's like with circumscision: don't make unnecessary , permanent changes to people before they are old enough to make their own informed decisions.
The kids are the big losers here, trans kids and 'de persisters' alike.

Indeed, although I think there is some justification for some of the transactivists positions: while it is maybe to be preferred that the kids make their own decisions, the problem is that later can be too late. As Alice Dreger put it in her Gender Mad post:

Why not transition everybody who says she or he is the other sex? All other things being equal, it’s a lot easier on your body if you don’t try to change your sex hormones, genitals, etc. The interventions involved in sex reassignment are non-trivial.

Make no mistake: If you start hormonal sex change before your inborn-sex-directed puberty is well on its way, then you’ll end up much better off in terms of your adult sexed appearance and in terms of avoiding other interventions, and so you’ll also benefit psychologically, if it was the right choice.

And there's the rub. As Dreger argued earlier in her post, the point is that many if not most such interventions turn out to be the wrong ones - as the "de-transitioning" tales illustrate:

I don’t doubt that these particular transgender adults look back and see that, from very early on, they had been assigned a gender that didn’t make sense for them. The mistake they make is then to assume that every child who expresses doubt about his or her birth gender assignment should simply be “affirmed” by parents and clinicians in their “new” gender.

This is an unbelievably simplistic understanding of what’s going on with these children. Yes, some of them will grow up to be transgender; Zucker and others have documented that, over and over again. But if history is a guide, the majority will not. Trying to make sure they all get the best care they need is the goal of clinics like Zucker’s, as well as the clinics run by other good folks at the children’s hospitals of UCLA, Northwestern, Seattle, and on and on.

Bit of a mess, and one can maybe sympathize with the views of some transactivists, but some justification for Singal and others arguing that many such are predicated on "harmful anti-science dogmatism":

Referenced Feministing post.

Major twatter lolz - black guy threatens white woman (well her computer) and well she is a Trump supporter - gets 16,000+ licks or retwats or something, maybe violence occurs ...

So if a black dude hits a white lady trump supporter is that punching up or down?

I don't know if Dreger mentions it or not, and I am not an MD, nor am I particularly well read in this, but my understanding is that while the above seems certainly to be true, what is not true is that the drugs involved in delaying puberty are harmless, side-effect free, OR reversible.

As one example

pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/article/when-transgender-kids-transition-medical-risks-are-both-known-and-unknown/

admits the medical risks are unknown (while quoting MDs saying they believe it's basically safe.)

I think the idea of puberty blockers is a good one, because a huge issue that the trans community sees as oppression is that trans women who cannot pass are seen as men in dresses (trans men who cannot pass are seen as butch, fashionable, edgy, hip, ...)

Couple days old.

I am pro choice as they come but fuck me fetuses are human. These people really do only think of themselves.

It's especially bad given the dialogue makes clear the fetus is full-term. If NARAL is among those fanatics who believe abortion of a full-term fetus is justified if that's the mother's choice since it isn't human yet, they should probably work on keeping that to themselves if they want to be useful in the pro-choice cause.

Maybe even more forehead slapping was their tweet in response to a cute, innocuous commercial where the NFL celebrates the claim that there is an increased birth rate in Super Bowl winning cities nine months after the game.

[youtube]9KqekigARfE[/youtube]

They're ruing the fact that babies were born when there's zero indication these children were unplanned or unwanted? Arch-conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh popularized the term "feminazi" and claimed he wan't applying it to all feminists but only to a small extremist faction that celebrates when a woman has an abortion over giving birth. I don't think he was consistent in this usage, but NARAL provides evidence he had identified a genuine faction. No doubt social conservatives are enjoying this example where a grossly incompetent enemy is the best ally.

So, on a completely different note: tomorrow, there's going to be a big annoucement by the LIGO consortium. The expectation is that they will report the direct detection of gravitational waves -- a first, and on the 100th anniversary year of their prediction by Einstein. This is a Big Thing.

Rumor has it that the source of the waves is a merger between a pair of ~30-solar-mass black holes. As the black holes orbit one another, they emit gravitational waves (ripples in the fabric of space-time) which propagate outward. These waves carry away orbital energy, meaning that over time the BH's spiral toward one another and eventually merge.

Another plausible hypothesis for the source of the waves is that Lindy West uncrossed her legs.

It's really tone-deaf when they point to a living, presumably healthy child and that the parents should have used birth control. That does their message no favors at all.

Cool. I organized a work trip to LIGO just a few years ago, when it was just the original experiment.

I would upload some photographs from the visit, but I can't be bothered to strip out the exif data, and I don't want to doxx myself.

So, in Sargon's latest the disconcertingly gorgeous woman in the intro frame says the following (11:30):

I stand with Melissa Click because she knows that just because the media has to make a deadline doesn't mean they can disrespect stories, narratives, and communities.

There's a word for stories and narratives that are primarily meant to represent the interests of a community as opposed to representing the truth, and that's 'propaganda'. There's also a word for the sort of society where the media's function is to respect propaganda, and that's 'fascist'. It's actually worse when such ugly ideas come from such a beautiful source.

Thirded. I don't know how many of you saw the #ShoutYourAbortion nonsense on twitter, but it filled me with deep loathing. I'm as pro-choice as they come, enough so that it's a deal-breaker if a politician wants to defund Planned Parenthood or criminalize abortion, but don't approach me as if you've done something virtuous by terminating a candidate human.

I end up siding with the feminists because we share an end goal, but by the gods they fucking sicken me.

That makes me sad, but yeah, watching for the first time now would be pretty disappointing. Every joke in it has been stolen, stripped, repainted, reused, resold and recycled as firelighters a million times since 1974. I saw it in the day, in the theater with my dad (R rating, y'know), so I'm one of those weirdos who holds it in high regard. I also grew up in Kansas, so the "people of the land" speech still kills me.

Mileage varies, and all that.

Good point. Having seen it when released, it was really quite radical. (Honestly, if you released it now, there'd be riots, but for stupid reasons.) and yeah, that speech made me snort so much soda out of my nose. "You know...morons." It was great.

Also, "Now watch. me. faggots". Brooks was one of the few directors that knew how to use Dom Deluise's talent.

So, I reported for jury duty today. Wasn't selected, alas, but it gave me time to finish Steven Pinker's The Language Instinct. A quote jumped out at me that I'm sure the pit will appreciate:

[John] Simon has simply discovered the trick used with great effectiveness by certain comedians, talk show hosts and punk rock musicians: people of modest talent can attract attention, at least for a while, by being unrelentingly offensive.

Which immediately reminded me of another by Mary Ann Evans (a.k.a. George Eliot):

Given, a man with moderate intellect, a moral standard not higher than the average, some rhetorical affluence and great glibness of speech, what is the career in which, without the aid of birth or money, he may most easily attain power and reputation in English society? Where is the Goshen of mediocrity in which a smattering of science and learning will pass for profound instruction, where platitudes will be accepted as wisdom, bigoted narrowness as holy zeal, unctuous egoism as God-given piety? Let such a man become an evangelical preacher; he will then find it possible to reconcile small ability with great ambition, superficial knowledge with the prestige of erudition, a middling morale with a high reputation for sanctity.

The usual suspects rely on these sort of tricks, and are destined to fail in the course of history. They'll never have the lasting power of a Darwin or a Chomsky, and I suspect they know it deep down inside.

[welch]

Ahhh... the memories...back when people actually wanted some of that action...

Becki advertising her pants.jpg

Here's my speculative psychological analysis of Watson. She was probably a wallflower most of her life, but when she reached her peak attractiveness in her 20's she suddenly started getting a lot of male attention. Understandably, this made her feel good and gave her a sense of power, and maybe she got a little drunk off this power (as well as other substances). Unfortunately, her peak attractiveness era was butterfly-lifespan short and her sexual power was mostly lost. She greatly resents this, and it has led to a growing hatred of men who no longer give her the attention and sense of desirability that she thinks she deserves.

She's SCA attractive. In a normal social gathering or situation, she's maybe a 6. 7 possibly.

But in atheist and nerd gatherings? Shit, she turns into a ten just by bathing regularly and not fucking up a ponytail, and she is surrounded by guys who are so deep into the "Nice Guy Ploy" (i.e. "I'll kiss your ass until you pity-fuck me), and think it's actually working that with very little work, she could have had a palanquin team for life.

But she keeps trying to write checks her abilities can't cash, and clever snark only substitutes for intelligence for so long. She reminds me of the kid in my last programming class that I almost defenestrated. Every class, EVERY class, he would ask some vaguely related but not really question designed only to demonstrate how fucking clever he was.

No one bought it, and he ended up failing the class (stupid tits, READ THE SYLLABUS) but the mooks ate it up. Watson's the same way. Knows just enough to seem smart, but not enough to be quiet when around people who ARE smart.

I feel happy that "Reginald" escaped this harpie. Can you imagine having sex with a woman as cruel and self-centered as Becci?

1) Becci goes out with a guy who is ex-Moromon and is probably not very experienced
2) Becci and ex-Mormon are back at her place and they are about to round home plate
3) Becci pulls out condoms but ex-Mormon asks if she is on bc because he thinks a condom is not enough
Side Note: condoms do fail. Becci... please read about the failure rate of a condom
4) Becci is not on any "additional" bc and insists sex with her is safe
5) Ex-Mormon thinks about this dilemma for a while... and then finally decided it is okay to have sex
....whereby...
Becci tells him to "Get the fuck out of my apartment!"

What a nice person she is.

Please also note how objectifying she is of "Reginald's" appearance. She even congratulates herself on her score.

After I watched this video I fully realized what an evil harpy she is. I mean... what kind of person finds this story to be funny?

I've shown this to a number of women I know and the reaction is the same: "Jesus, what a cunt"

Ok. So now I get it. Elevatorgate is Paula Kirby's fault.

FFS - for 12 mins she lectures a certain type of woman against any tendency to oppression bullshit. Not enough questions asked by women? They should bloody well drop the shyness and speak up. What if data supported the notion that women were being 'held back' in atheism? Well she would accept it but would think less of the snowflake women who allowed that to happen. On and on.

No wonder Watson hijacked the next days session - pissing of Dawkins (blessed be his name). No wonder she spent the night lecturing hopeful newbs on how bad it is. No wonder there is plausible motivated reasoning behind making up the lift incident. Or leveraging the hell out of such an unexpected windfall. No wonder McGraw struck a Kirby bone and needed to be similarly schooled from the podium at CFI.

Kirby lives in the real world and Watson resides in the land of Youtube comments. And Kirby negated this lived experience and told Watson indirectly that she was a prissy petulant princess.

I leave you with Kirby's essay "The sisterhood of the oppressed"

Side Note: condoms do fail. Becci... please read about the failure rate of a condom
4) Becci is not on any "additional" bc and insists sex with her is safe
5) Ex-Mormon thinks about this dilemma for a while... and then finally decided it is okay to have sex
....whereby...
Becci tells him to "Get the fuck out of my apartment!"

What a nice person she is.

Please also note how objectifying she is of "Reginald's" appearance. She even congratulates herself on her score.

After I watched this video I fully realized what an evil harpy she is. I mean... what kind of person finds this story to be funny?

That's not the way I heard it. Becky brings out condoms, Morman guy doesn't think two of those will be enough and hands Becky a toothbrush. :o

[Really?]

I feel happy that "Reginald" escaped this harpie. Can you imagine having sex with a woman as cruel and self-centered as Becci?

1) Becci goes out with a guy who is ex-Moromon and is probably not very experienced
2) Becci and ex-Mormon are back at her place and they are about to round home plate

Much more disturbing is that some of the women and men in the audience are laughing. That skeptical audience doesn't seem to think that safe sex and respecting a partner's boundaries are things.

Re-reading about ElevatorGate just reminds me how crazy all that was.

There are people who listen to Rebecca Watson and think she makes sense. I will never understand it.

I also get from this vid that she is basically a failed stand-up comedian. Just like Two-cows (who he?) who gave up stand-up after complaining he had to explain his jokes. In short, they are staggeringly boring IRL, which they are convinced doesn't comport with the Carlinesque performance inside their own realities,

Correction, the panel session was titled: "Women Atheist Activists". (Still, RW wasn't on it.)

Is she any of those things?

Plus the laughter was very light meaning either:
1. There was a poor audience, all of whom were rolling in the aisles, or;
2. There was a large audience, very few of whom thought what she said was funny, or;
3. Something in between.

In any case, I think this shows she's about as funny as a napalm attack, and just as welcome.

If anyone wants to listen to Mykeru ramble for ramble for a really long time about... something or other... this now exists:

Christ, that was ten minutes of hard work. Maybe it got better, but I doubt it. As someone said recently, this kind of character needs to be poked and prodded into producing their best work. Left to themselves, they just get lazy. Reading/listening to an angry man describing his phone calls to Meyers's employer, or goading Opheliar, and teasing him about his ill-advised attempts to monetize his schtick in a forum which mocks Surly Amy, is funny. But channeling Michael Savage in a YouTube AMA is just sad. Really. I feel sad now for Mykeru, and that is a weird feeling. Like wondering about how Ophie got that droopy eyelid: you know you shouldn't care, and you definitely should just ignore it, but an obsessive part of you wonders: why? How?

The most disturbing part was this, just after revealing that they were naked in the same bed and things were progressing:

We have now passed what I like to call "the point of no return".

Hypocritical little cunt.

I didn't get a lot of sleep last night. My youngest had issues and I stayed up with her watching Star Trek. This is pretty normal for us since the break up but anyway. I crashed early tonight and just work up with really bad heart burn.

So I watch this video. That's bad. It's not a good story. She laughs at her self way too much. It doesn't really have a point and it's not funny.

I listened to it all the way through. It kind of turned into a video about how Dawkins getting deplatformed, but it never got any less convoluted. He had to piss on every SJW we've talked about here in the last few years along the way and then wrap the whole thing up by re-explaining the rules of dealing with SJWs and what SJWSs are and on and on and on.

He's still funny sometimes, but I'm getting kind of concerned that the Twitter ban blew a fuse of some kind. He's been going off the rails.

She reminds me of the kid in my last programming class that I almost defenestrated. Every class, EVERY class, he would ask some vaguely related but not really question designed only to demonstrate how fucking clever he was.

I love the delicious irony that these two sentences create together.
