So I was curious and did a little looking around. His daughter is named "Skatje" which is apparently pronounced "scot-ya" and is apparently a Dutch term of endearment, my guess is the English equivalent to naming a girl "snuggle-buns" or something.

The interesting thing though is that Skatje has apparently gone and got her name firmly associated with bestiality and incest as far as Google is concerned!

Quite frankly, I think that this was pretty rash on someone's part to even bring up the subject in the first place.

That put me in mind of heritable traits, and in this case behavioural traits which are also heritable. Just to be clear, let me add that heritability is a population-wide statistic, but it can be informative on an individual level.

For example, a high IQ will not save you from doing something stupid, if you have inherited behavioural traits that leave you prone to *cough* impulsiveness then it leaves you open to doing some "really real brain dead teh stupids" things.

Biology is not destiny, but it is probability.

There, see. I said the same thing you did, only with more brevity and panache.

No you didn't. I think you are functionally illiterate. How the fuck did you get a degree. Do you have aphasia? You seemed to miss the entirety of my points.

Your group is poisonous and engaged in a hate campaign. I've read the comments, your followers are actually unhinged enough to reveal personal information about people with the intent to do harm. Pappa asked an impertinent tasteless question.

Critising misogyny is not misogyny. You whipping up a bunch of apparently vulnerable young women, who you know, you actually know will be hurt by it for your own benefit, THAT is misogyny, you clod. Pretending you are white-knighting makes it all the more patronising and worse.

To use your shit example, you picked up the cockroaches put them in a bucket and then threw them at people who are terrified of cockroaches for your own gratification. To use another example you're like one of those fundie lunatics who opposes abortion by puts up pictures of aborted fetuses to horrify the anti-abortion crowd to whip them into a frenzy.

It is utterly exploititive. Your "protect these women from rape" attitude would be noble if you didn't keep expose self confessed sexual assault victims to things they find hurtful for your pleasure.

That is entirely what you did.

I'm actually a pretty reasonable guy, I'm just good at mirroring the stupid over-reactionary invective of your posters and aiming it directly back at you.

I don't mind being called a cockroach by a cock.
The bolding is mine - others can see it straight off the bat; PZ either can't, or refuses to.

Brilliant!

Although it's a wee bit abusive towards cockroaches....

... what with comparing them to PZ an' all that...

#3427

@AndrewV69

Ah, 'Scot-Yah!' - I read it as 'Scat-Yeah'. 'Pologies for the crap joke and my bias in associating anything PZ does with shit.

I wonder, in general, if native English speakers who first read her name pronounce it as 'Scat - gee'?

Did a google on the name - as regards the 'animal love', all I got was something about it on Conservapidia, which is even weaker on reason than FfTB - but Google did, um, pop up some pictures of her, and...I dunno, maybe it's just me...but she she looks a hell of a lot like a, um, certain female skepchick, doesn't she?

I have a suspicion that Sally has fantasies about that sort of thing, and feels ashamed and/or embarrassed about it. Would not be the first time I have encountered women with that sort of liking. In my experience though, it just manifests itself in that they like being told what to do, forcibly held down and that sort of thing, but nothing I would call kinky at all.

Let me emphasize that I am not talking about the "really for reals rape", but fantasy about being submissive, and this appears to be common for a lot of people, not just women.

In other words, acting out submission with someone dominant.

I guess for a feminist this could stir up all kinds of emotional turmoil, instead of recognizing it for what it is, just a harmless fantasy that satisfies a behavioural trait.

#3437

I posted a somewhat lengthy comment on http://fosterdisbelief.wordpress.com/20 ... omment-683 concerning threats of violence + literal threats of rape and murder.

From that comment,

If you happen to receive :â€literal threats of rape and murderâ€ or â€œthreats of violence,â€ you should REPORT THEM TO THE POLICE. NOW. What are you waiting for? If you have evidence of these things, release it, report to police, and get the entire skeptic/atheist community on your side. People like â€˜Surly Amyâ€™ and Rebecca Watson have a huge platform in which they can share these â€œliteral threats of rape and murderâ€ and â€ violent threatsâ€ with the atheist/skeptic community and even perhaps use the influence of their supporters to make sure that action is taken. If you arenâ€™t a writer for Skepchick and happen to receive threats, you can e-mail them and Iâ€™m sure theyâ€™ll take action. Hell, Iâ€™ll even post threats on my blog if they wonâ€™t.

Sending threats, as should go without saying, is absolutely wrong. Threats should not be tolerated and people who receive threats ought to do something about itâ€¦and not just sit by and ask leaders in the atheist/skeptic community to write letters of disapproval. The harassment, too, is uncalled for. It shouldnâ€™t happen. Move on, though, and realize that internet trolls are internet trolls. As JT said, â€œWelcome to the same boat as 99% of humanity. Christ.â€ Want to continue to talk about it? Whateverâ€¦but I, at least, donâ€™t see the point.

Feel free to weigh in.

justinvacula wrote: Feel free to weigh in.

No chance Justin. Reading the post you've commented on, what you've got there is what Uncle Franc calls a "toilet slave". You'll get a self-righteous panning and nothing else.

#3439

What I think franc was referring to in regards to PeeZus' children, is that Skatje Myers wrote an article right after Elevatorgate completely disagreeing with PZ (I'm attempting to locate it), and last year someone mentioned PZ had a son as well as a daughter. There was a lot of speculation as to why PZ never mentions his son, as many were shocked he even had one. Quite a few bloggers and commenters went back and searched for any mention of a son on PZ's blog, and found none, but plenty of mentions about Skatje.

Sympathy for a male child of PZ's was the topic of conversation for a while...

Simply a clarification, I agree his children have no place in our discussions.

#3440

He has 2 sons, and one of them is enlisted in some branch of the military or another. I can't remember whether he joined the army or navy or air force, but PZ did an article about it when he was first going away. Then someone somewhere said he has another son too, but I can't even remember where I heard that, so maybe there's only one son.

Sacha,

The article you are looking for was posted on Skatje Myers's personal blog Lacrimae Rerum, which is no longer around. However, Google and The Wayback Machine never forget. The blog post you are looking for is called Feminism. Look for it towards the end.

#3444

The similarities between Skatje and Beccy in looks (Skatje is bright, and appears to be a good person) has been mentioned previously on the original Slime Pit.

They looked a lot alike a year or so ago, but no longer, now that Beccy has become a caricature.

Thank you, Mister Kolle, I would have been looking for hours.

I do not have a problem with this type of "tone" trolling Phil. I also think it reflects well on you that you saw it right off the bat.

I know it never occurred to me where this may lead to till you brought it up, although it probably would have at some point.

The irony here is I have kids also (well they are all adults now), and one of the reasons I am pseudonymous is that I hold views that they would consider embarrassing.

So, I will thank you again for the "heads up", and I think you are right.

This reminds me of that link I posted earlier to the Ardent Atheist podcast. Doug Stanhope tells a tale about a girl he used to have unrequited love for. The only time he got a chance to poke her was when she confessed to her rape fantasy and asked him to fulfil it. Unfortunately he says he wasn't strong enough and she kept throwing him off, so they were both disappointed. PeeZus and the gang would love the story.

I'll open up a tab on that link, but I won't have a chance to write anything detailed until the weekend. If you're within commuting distance of New York City, we could start over a beer.

Speaking of which, do you Slime Pitters (Slimers? Pitters? Pits?) ever do local meet ups? A few pictures of the participants here dressed well and behaving in a civilized fashion while consuming alcohol would do wonders for the image of this forum.

After skimming a couple of posts I got the impression that it was an argument about morality and the two items in question were used as examples, and then were taken up out of context and used as a smear.

Sounds familiar?

Anyway, we should let this drop (and I am guilty by responding, even indirectly), my focus was in a completely direction, the heritability of things like impulsiveness rather than anything else. I failed to see how it could also lead into other directions till Phil objected.

A wedding suddenly just happened outside of my building today. It lasted for about 5 minutes, and then it was over. It was like a flash mob, only it was a wedding.

Anyone have any idea of what culture they are? My building is mostly Tamil people from Sri Lanka and this group for sure wasn't them, but the other quarter of the building is from either Iran or Iraq (I forget which), and I assumed most of them were muslim, but maybe some are xtian refugees from countries where the muslims kill the xtians. Maybe this group is mideast xtians of some branch (maybe from Iran or Iraq)?

I don't have a clear political affiliation (it all depends on what the context of an issue is, for me to see what side I'll fall on), so I guess that makes me kind of moderate, but this seems pretty flawed since it makes the assumption that people are honest when self-reporting on this sort of thing. It could be that the other two groups (moderates and conservatives) are just not as willing to admit that they have done the things mentioned (for the sake of maintaining the pretense of fairness, maybe?), thus resulting in the wide gap. The poll doesn't appear to have any means to factor out this possibility, making me skeptical of any ideological conclusion that can be gathered from it.

Feminism

I donâ€™t call myself a feminist. When it comes to the simple definition of â€œbelieving women should possess equal rights,â€ I feel about as stupid calling myself a feminist as I would calling myself someone who believes blacks should have equal rights. Well, no shit. But Iâ€™m feeling a huge disconnect between my own beliefs and modern feminism. It seems like itâ€™s morphing into a frenetic beast, striking blindly at every phantom it can find, leaving behind rational discourse and losing sight of the most important issues.

Think a woman bears some responsibility for her pregnancy in non-rape cases? Slut shamer. If you think itâ€™s poor judgment to get trashed in an unsafe place around strangers? Victim blamer. Acknowledging certain negative stereotypes as often true? Misogynist.

Even excluding extremists like Dworkin, I feel that feminism has been blinded by zealotry into forsaking rationality. Logical arguments have been abandoned in favour of accusing the opposition of being misogynists.

Like I said, I donâ€™t see a lot of use in this day and age in pointing out to people that I think men and women should be treated equally. I also donâ€™t see vocal self-proclaimed feminists doing their cause very many favours.

SN that is fucking awesome. Thanks for posting. It sounds and looks Turkish to me, but I imagine that a westernized Iraqi wedding might be similar. The very westernized look does not necessarily mean that they are Christian. Fuck the Islamic fundamentalists with a rusty porcupine for spoiling this kind of fun.

SallyStrange, still not producing evidence that women in the secular community are receiving "literal threats of rape and murder" from people in the secular community and distorting what I have to say, says,

Justin Vacula, it is beyond rude to presume that you are empowered to speak for other people and tell them what is a threat and what is not. It betrays a total lack of empathy. Please stop minimizing the distress this sort of vitriolic rhetoric causes. At one point, I helped organize my local SlutWalk. I set up a Facebook page for the event, and I made the mistake of having my real name associated with it. Within a day, my FB account had been spoofed, and (of course being a noob) I had low privacy controls, so people were spreading my real name, address, and phone number over the internet in conjunction with inflammatory remarks attributed to me, which I did not make. I also received a number of emails saying I should be raped. About five, IIRC. None of them ever came to anything but it's stressful and disconcerting and had the effect of putting obstacles in the way of my real life feminist activism. Do not presume to tell me what I should and should not take seriously. You don't live my life, you don't see the emails I get, and the same thing is true of Rebecca Watson, Ophelia Benson, and all the other women you seem to track and follow all over the internet in order to tell them how silly they are for being alarmed or intimidated about the messages they get. I find your consistent minimizing of the distress this sort of thing can cause to be absolutely appalling and morally outrageous. I wish you'd stop.
