I guess I should clarify I was partly defending the Second Wave.
Not only were there quite a few egalitarians in the movement at the time, but personal responsibility (instead of 'false consciousness') was the creed of all but the radical feminists. I'd also say the 2nd wavers were in general better educated than more recent generations. Thus 'liberal' feminism was able to have some successes if a few of its policies were later found to not be the best (and of course the radfems attached themselves, like ticks, to Domestic Violence law and services and the newly-formed "Womyn's Studies" departments and perculated there for 20 or 30 years).
Things could have gone forward if the egalitarian wing of the 2nd Wave had stayed strong. Alas, we know the history since then....

They were mostly liberal/left-libertarian instead of being po-mo. That's a HUGE difference.

Kind of sad regarding Zinaaia. Generally well liked and reasonably well known rising profile within atheist circles.
Has reduced herself to being an asshole to others, rejecting all societal norms, and getting herself off explicitly & publicly on the internet. This change happened right around the time she fell in with a bad crowd and started to play the SRS game.
What a waste of a life and potential.

You misunderstand me. I referred specifically to a large black object which somewhat resembles a piece of British confectionary known as a 'Walnut Whip'.
Obviously, the resemblance ends with the walnut on top. Unless Zinny's been eating sweetcorn, of course.

I may not be sure of what exactly was happening in the picture.

They still had their nutjobs (Solanas, Dworkin, actually even some of the big names too, at times, and Patriarchy theory was born in the Second Wave), but their connection to a better, older education system on the one hand, and to working class women and their struggles on the other, coupled with the fact that they were actually fighting for something eminently reasonable (equality before the law) sort of kept them mostly sane.

I think that they were far better at not being crazy in Switzerland than in the US. In Switzerland someone who is along the lines of Cathy Young or Christina Hoff Sommers would be considered a libertarian feminist. Many Swiss feminists are pro-sex work and pro-porn, and very few support quotas, they prefer local . Gender theory is virtually unheard of, except among millennials.
Iris von Roten-Mayer was crazy, but she was despised by pretty much everyone.
I like how she points out that she's never been treated this way before.
It's also ironic that she is claiming victimhood about being called a bitch and a cunt for getting in the way or something at an event in which two men try to beat each other into consciousness. So we can cheer for blood, but don't you dare say a mean word to a woman.
I like me some meat on a woman. That ain't a woman, though.

I find it really interesting that there's no wider context or explanation of what happened to cause their interaction(s). Are we to believe that our sports journalist was simply minding her business when the nasty, mean and offensive "dude-bro" pounced upon her? Or is it possible she was acting like an entitled cunt and the bloke snapped?
As Bill Burr once said, "ass kickings don't just drop out of the sky" :D
The best part of the Battle in Brisbane (or whatever they're calling it) was listening to the NPR host referring to one of the fighters as "puh-say-ow."

BTW - Her twitter profile says the reporter is "State Political Reporter, Ten Eyewitness News Queensland" not a sports reporter. So she wasn't on the clock. She was out with her friends to see the boxing match. https://twitter.com/tegangeorge
She also says that she reported the guy to security and they booted him from the event. Sounds to me like she got her revenge before she even had to upload it to twitter.

Longer article on the boxing match issue with a *few* more details.
Sally and Clare say they had drinks poured over them and were sexually harassed for much of the fight.
It appears originally he was sitting right behind them. Behind them enough to photobomb their picture. Typically friendly enough antics. No flipping off at that point, and they are actually bending down to be in the photo, so she wasn't necessarily trying to capture them at that point. https://imgoat.com/uploads/ea9ab1baa0/28006.jpg
“They were intentionally tipping drinks on us and yelling "what does it take to get c**** like this wet’,” she told the Daily Mail.
Tiffs between sports fans are not all that unusual. Him having moved away from the and say "just leave it be" means he was trying to deescalate the bad situation.
But if they really were pouring drinks on them while insulting them, I think that crossing a pretty significant line of douchebaggery.

There are real victims out there in the world and Anita isn't one of them. Her biggest problem is that her last scam is less and less profitable as time has gone on. Her only resort is to blame her failure on her detractors.

So just to kitchen sink it, one reason I can't give a shit about Trump and CNN's fight, is because as much as I think Trump is an asshole who will get us all killed, I see how the NYTimes will let Lindy West write about "leering" harassers as a Vidcon connection and how most of the world will side with Lindy and not see either how leering is a bullshit fighting word description OR how Youtube creators at a Vidcon conference recording with their cell phones what happens at a panel is the expected behavior, not the abnormal harassing behavior.
If Trump can drive major media insane enough that one day they try and reset themselves and he can do that without causing WWIII, then hey, maybe I am okay with that.

I don't think Trump will cause major media to reset themselves. It will take individuals making choices for better news sources.
As it stands now, much of "news" media consists of cheap easy puffy opinion pieces. But people with opinions are a dime a dozen on the internet. We can all go somewhere else and find someone to serve up niche self confirming opinions. Or even find people who challenge our opinions. And we can find better more knowledgeable experts with credentials to boot.
I think that mostly news media will loose their dominance in the opinion piece market.
A big part of the problem is that to the media companies, we are the product and the advertisers are the customers.
And as far as hard researched news, people have developed a taste for extremely well verified facts from the internet. The half-assed research many news outlets perform doesn't cut it anymore.
A good development are avenues like Patreon where we again become the customers.

Via KiA, very interesting background piece explaining what happened at Evergreen this year leading up to it's late term meltdown.
Written by Michael Zimmerman, Contributor
Founder and Executive Director, The Clergy Letter Project
who describes himself as
> A personal note: I served for five years (2011-2016) as provost and vice president for academic affairs at The Evergreen State College. During the 2016-17 academic year, President Bridges changed my appointment such that while I retained the title of vice president for academic affairs, I was assigned to work on off-campus issues. In that capacity, I was uninvolved in the protests that took place this spring. As of 1 July 2017, I no longer hold an administrative appointment at Evergreen and thus I feel free to publicly share my perspective on the situation, something I felt uncomfortable doing while still ostensibly a part of the administration.
The Evergreen State College Implosion: Are There Lessons to be Learned?
...
The story that’s being promoted everywhere is that one faculty member’s resistance to Evergreen’s 2017 incarnation of its “Day of Absence” is at the center of the turmoil. In 2017 instead of people of color voluntarily absenting themselves from campus for a day to demonstrate the importance they play in the community, as had been the case for many years, white individuals were encouraged to leave campus.
...
The reality of what occurred is far more complex, and, in fact, far more insidious than the caricature presented in most media reports. Regardless of what some would have us believe, the exclusion of white people from campus was not a mandate; no one was required to leave. But the pressure for white individuals to leave campus, to demonstrate that they were good allies to people of color, was very real. And many, students, faculty and staff alikep, were confused by the structure of the day. How could they not be confused?
Very interesting background information, and the faculty member who he doesn't name is almost certainly Naima Lowe.
I like me some meat on a woman. That ain't a woman, though.
Ringer for Bud Cort, for sure.
It looks like the hormones helped her achieve normal female levels of body fat. Is this a crazy assumption?

Easy link for guest's post about the Evergreen administrator's guest post to the Huffington Post that ordinarily hosts only racist bullshit:
Yea. Lotta people going off the deep end, thinking just because they can come up with a possibility it must therefore be an imminent threat or even plausible:
Just shooting themselves in the feet, further discrediting entire profession of journalism. Which really helps no one.
Bunch of Chicken Littles with neither heads nor wits about them. But even the NYTimes is apparently having to walk back some of their more memorable and untenable claims: New York Times Forced To Retract Longstanding '17 Intel Agencies' Lie About Russian Hacking. No doubt that Trump has told some whoppers himself but that one, which Clinton seems to have first retailed, seems to take the cake.
