I thought I'd shared this one from wtfsocialjustice on tumblr. Largish image, so I've hidden it in a spoiler.

"piv sex", apparently, means "penis in vagina sex".

wtf indeed.

This....is real? Not a parody?

Fucking hell.

...and what planet is this pillow talk advice coming from? Jesus all friggin' mighty! Can't stop laughing.

Doesn't Jason realise there is no such thing as a false accusation of rape - because all forms of sex are rape, because of TEH PATRIARCHEEE.

Jason forgets that having sex with a woman who is in any state of inebriation, lying to a woman and therefore "tricking" her into sex and best of all simply ASKING for sex (because only women should ask men for sex.) are all acts of "rape". In light of these facts is Jason so sure he isn't a rapist?

It's hard to commit rape when your cock is an "inny" instead of an "outy".

Found this gem in my Facecrack newsfeed:

http://wcoa.info/tffb.jpg

I've been manipulated into sex before. I've also had women start playing with my crank while I was asleep, and I've woken up while being fucked or blown on more than one occasion.

Holy shit.... I never realized I was a rape victim! FML.

Exactly. They need to quit acting like just women get that. When a guy does it (I mean in girlfriend terms - someone who would've sexed him), it's creepy and rapey... woman does it.. it's a "surprise." Decide which it is, or stfu, people.

Don't start feeling like a defiled rape victim though. No matter what you call it, it is what it is... describing it in specifics, like you did, is best. you don't have to associate yourself with fullon rapes. That's damaging to the psyche. :P

"Where in ever-loving hell did folks get the idea that it’s invalid and outrageously wrong to form judgments about people based on who their friends and supporters are?"

It depends. If they approve of AVfM, then yeah, guilty... if there's anything to be guilty for. but you can't call them guilty just because AVfM decided to praise them. Bullshit. If they decided to admit that one post of FtB's is good, would FtB be guilty? No? Hypocrites.

Bottom line is, you are only guilty of actions and ideas that you do or support. If someone decides to talk to someone who does things they are totally against, sometimes it's weird, stupid, and irritating, but they are NOT guilty of it.

Happy New Year, Tigzy!

For the post Google: "Is there a rape switch?" on Laden's blog. Don't want to link back.

Um, what was Jason responding to? Just because you're a victim of a false accusation of rape doesn't mean you aren't ignorant, unfair, harmful, and unempathetic to others that were falsely accused of rape - so I need to know what this Jason guy was responding to. I don't think anyone there is above being a victim of a false accusation of rape and having no understanding for others that were, no concept of "innocent until proven guilty," no concept of "You don't lower the thresholds of what 'proven guilty' means, putting even more innocent people in jail, just to catch those that slip under'"

It's just like those people that go "Hey, I'm a parent, so I'm qualified to say this: (fucked up parenting comment here)." So fucking WHAT? doesn't mean most agree with you.

So yeah, someone tell me what Jason was responding to. If it turns out that he was a victim of a false allegation, and still does something as stupid as, say, opposing a month of recognition for false abuse allegations, he'd apparently need ANOTHER DOSE. He'd need to be brought down like the guy crying for his child in jail, on suicide watch, who was released when they finally found him innocent.

As for that other shit... some media may do that, but there's still plenty of the "hey, this is a rape victim! that's awful! let's talk about the suspect" stuff going on. The blame-the-victim stuff is *not* dominant and its seen for what it is by many who don't need to associate with FtB.

Is Jason Thelobotomized accusing a woman of LYING about a rape?

Yup, he is... I should figure out who accused him and talk to her. I need her side of the story. For all I know, Jason raped her.I'm pretty sure he did it... even suspecting that she's lying ougt to get one booted off any forum... I will remain unbiased

If anyone who didn't like FtB talked about being a victim of a false accusation, there would be replies like "why should we trust you?" and "you're supporting people being skeptical of rape victims and dismissing them!" Just like saying you yourself are not a rapist is "giving women a false sense of security."

I thought I'd shared this one from wtfsocialjustice on tumblr. Largish image, so I've hidden it in a spoiler.

"piv sex", apparently, means "penis in vagina sex".

Darren, is the account called wtfsocialjustice??? Link to tweet...? I need to check this shit out to see if anyone from FtB is actually agreeing with this shit.

If you're running low on gibberish, today's top up. Bears have claws and privilege. Cute bunnies do not -

This is actually progress of a sort. The argument has been formally distilled down to its essence ie. you (men) are (on average) bigger and stronger than us (women) and must accommodate our insecurities over the fact.
Leaving aside the "Schrodinger's MMA fighter" argument (Dear Mr Lesnar, you need to cross the street whenever any other human approaches because they don't know you won't beat them into another dimension) the biggest problem here is that certain people seem to be unaware that we are no longer living in neolithic times.
Seen any Mammoths lately? No? That's odd because they were a great deal bigger and stronger than humans. Worry about Saber Tooth Cats when you go out at night? No? Huh, they must have all been enrolled in sensitivity training and logged onto the "Good Smilodon Project". Iddy-biddy humans still around - megafauna, not so much.
Odd.
Pro-tip - humans have access to weapons. Trust me on this. If you are even vaguely proficient with a fire arm and can look confident you have attained equality in the realm of the night-time street.
There is also the small matter of societal mores regarding who it is acceptable to attack. The aforementioned Mr Lesnar is looking at a great deal less censure (and probably some applause) if he beats another male like a government McCreight than if he lays a finger on an actual McCreight.
Then again, all this requires some agency and responsibility on the part of people who are apparently allergic to same.

[Pitchguest]

On Thimble-boo-boo's blog post "Sympathy for the devil", I saw this most piece of shit laden post just before the new year,

TRIGGER WARNING! Your brain matter may spontaneously spill out from your ears, or you may suffer knuckle-damage due to the urge of punching stuff really hard.

[spoiler]

As Stakkalee suggested, how about talking about how big a douchebag is a serial harasser like Mykeru, indeed. Funny thing is, I recently received his unwelcome attention (and some of his pals’ too) on Twitter for posting a link to one Stephanie Zvan’s articles and for defending Rebecca Watson against unfair criticism. And I’m not even a name in the atheist/skeptic movement! No, it’s just that apparently for them, anyone who says anything positive about certain people are fair game. I was not surprised much, after what happened before on that topic.

What did hurt, though, was seeing a few people I knew, and even for some admire, joking along with the bullies, and then get in a huff when I posted out to them that they were having fun with the kind of creeps who create websites and Twitter accounts for the sole purpose of hounding someone off the internet. They didn’t seem to realize why I was dismayed by that!

And this is where I think you, Justin, want to get some time to rethink your actions a bit. Yes, you were hurt that time by that email from Greg Laden, and now you are hurt again because Jason points out that you’re not the only victim here: so is Greg Laden.

For the record, I’ll say here that I don’t agree with posting online someone’s address, as a general rule. And I don’t defend everything Greg says or does. But I like a lot of what he writes, especially the perspective he brings from his field of anthropology.

I also understand painfully what it feels like to be the designated witch. I was that for most of my childhood and adolescence. I stood out as a child and a teen (being fat, wearing glasses from an early age, being shy and bookish, and not liking what other girls liked…) I saw so-called friends who didn’t actively engage in bullying, but who, when I was hurt, didn’t seem to notice but stayed around the playground bullies, having fun with them and laughing at *me* for being too thin-skinned or not getting the joke. I realize today that they were probably very insecure themselves, and didn’t dare stand out too for fear of becoming a target.

At times, I think I tried everything against my tormentors: trying to ignore them (a non-starter, despite what my mom said); reporting to teachers (they didn’t care); getting violent myself and punching some of the agressors (my dad briefly supported me there, but the teachers just snapped into action *then* and punished me!); and even getting sneaky and writing an anonymous letter to one particular bully in the hope to frighten him (didn’t work either). I’m not proud of the last one, but I can’t bring my present self to condemn my childish desperation then. I was more or less alone against a crowd.

But that’s neither here nor there. Right now, there are people who don’t just want Greg Laden to be more considerate or even to apologize to those he wronged, they want him to shut up and not be on the internet, by whatever means they can find. And that’s wrong.

Justin, you may not realize it, but just a few posts up thread, you took Jason to task for defending Greg as a personal friend. And you may not realize that to people who’ve been the target of Mykeru and his like, seeing you make jokes with them about Greg makes you look… well, at best like someone who doesn’t care about others’ feelings, at worst like a pal of the harassers. I’m going to speculate wildly, but to me it looks like the so-called friends of my teen years, who needed reassurance so much that they’d even hang around creeps if that’s were the numbers and protective coloring are.

I’m not even condemning you, if so. But it’s just that every one of your posts on that topic is sad and painful to read, and not only because of the memories they bring.

Wait a minute, let me just . . .

So, if someone was charged with a rape and acquitted, is there a way to find that on the internet? Can someone help me out here?

also I am still very eager for that twitter post's link.

Well, if this brings comfort to your soul. Soft Titties didn't want to be friends with Hambeast if she believed he was rapist before getting to know him:

Stephanie: One way or the other, for erring on the side of safety, anything above your personal comfort level of probability (e.g. you might accept a 25% chance on each slider bar I posited in my post as being acceptably safe to trust the person), and you should assume the person is capable of rape and distrust them as such.

If that means you consider them rapists while you do so, even though they haven't raped anyone, then as long as your conscience can live with the misnomer as the expense of your assured safety, then I don't personally see a problem with it. If you accuse them of being a rapist though, and they have never done so, don't be surprised if they take umbrage. Likewise, if you, knowing that I was once accused of rape, suspect me of being capable of this before getting to know me, then you're probably not the type of person I want to be friends with anyway.

Funny, that reads like "But, he's/she's my friend! He/She's incapable of murder/rape/pillage!".

http://www.lunalindsey.com/2012/07/claw ... ilege.html

From the link:

Bears have strengths that bunnies clearly do not. Bunnies are small and weak and their claws are more like long toenails and their teeth are good for eating vegetables.

Feminism teaches women to be strong and independent? Yeah right.

and:

Mr. McNiceBear is representative of the majority of bears. He is so money, and he doesn't even know it. One day, he is rummaging around in the woods, minding his own business, looking for tasty roots.
And then it happens -- he steps on a bunny.
And the bunny is squealing like a banshee and in pain and bleeding from huge claw marks all down her side.
Mr. McNiceBear says, "What's the matter? I didn't do anything. You should have gotten out of my way. That doesn't hurt. Stop whining."
The bear is so money, and he doesn't even know it.

I am trying to decide if this is one of the worst analogies ever or THE worst analogy ever.
Also "the bear is so money"? WTF?

Seriously, knowing why women have to be wary, and knowing that they’re forced to live this way because of the existence of predators sheltered from any responsibility for their actions, “Schrodinger’s Rapist” bothers me not one whit. Putting the onus of responsibility on the man who engages on predatory behaviour to stop doing so, well, that’s the right way to go about dismantling the interlocking facets of this rape culture.

My reply: Wow, you're a sexist piece of scum. It's insulting and offensive when men-supremacists do this, and it's insulting and offensive when YOU do it. This is sexist to both women and men, albeit in different ways. Really? Painting women as so vulnerable, weak, and fragile to say that they are like bunnies compared to other sex? "I'm a woman. I'm vulnerable and weak. Handle me with care, men. Can't live without you."

Isn't feminism supposed to be about women being independent and stuff? So what the fuck is this bullshit you dare to present to me to lay my eyes on?

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/M ... ldHitAGirl

"The aversion and occasional subversion of Wouldn't Hit a Girl: a guy (good or evil) has no problems with violence against women. If he's good, it's either because he's just not sexist and he believes in beating people up equally, or because he knows that holding back against female opponents is a good way to get his ass kicked or killed. In earlier works, a male character would make up the point of "you're no lady" if the female in question has previously attacked him first (mostly female antagonists), in which case he will be allowed to attack. If he's evil, it's because... well, he's evil.

Of course, more modern female characters tend to go into battle fully expecting to be hit. If anything, many of them would probably be insulted if a male opponent went easy on them because of their gender."

" Wouldn't Hit a Girl

Scott: "I don't hit girls."
Roxie: "You're just a pussy, Pilgrim!"
—Scott Pilgrim Gets It Together

On average, men have greater upper body strength than women. Because most people don't actually understand concepts like "average" very well, in a lot of people's minds this turns into "any given man is always much, much stronger than any given woman." And since a true hero never uses his strength against the weak, and all women are supposedly weak compared to him, it follows that a hero must never use physical violence against any woman, ever.

When applied to ordinary bar fights, schoolyard throwdowns, duels of honor and so on, the trope is well-meaning if also rather sexist (against both men and women, albeit in different ways). However, when characters keep invoking it in situations where their female opponent poses a really serious threat that might only be preventable by violence, it quickly becomes absurd."

Don't know if that bitch approved it or not.

I'm guessing Peezee must think the early American space program a worthless and thoroughly evil endeavour on the basis that all those involved were associating with a known nazi, Wernher Von Braun.

And so much for the efforts of Oskar Schindler, a self-declared nazi who maintained apparently genuine friendships with high-ranking nazis throughout WW2.

I have to say, Peezee's prediliction for such non-nuanced thinking is ceratinly tempting me towards a Godwin...

I disagree. First of all the bear/bunny metaphor is shite. Outside of Disney films bears and bunnies do not frolic together in the woods nor does the physical power difference between a bear and a rabbit accurately reflect the power differences between a man and a woman.

Secondly and most importantly this article was written by a feminist who would have us believe that women are strong, independent and brave yet paradoxically weak, dependent and scared.

Guess who's feeling the charitable forgiveness of the holiday season?

[spoiler]EllenBeth Wachs‏@EllenBethWachs

@MelodyHensley @OpheliaBenson @MartinPribble nope, there are some that I would never accept back. Too much damage has been inflicted.

@MelodyHensley @OpheliaBenson @MartinPribble there are definitely some I have no intention on reconciling with.

August of 2013? Da fuq? That's what, two years late now? Jesus, he's starting to get into Duke Nukem territory.

It's vapourware. The apocolypse will appear sooner than that book.

Probably for the best. He doesn't have any book in his head ready to write down. He can't even think of topics when being a speaker. Earlier last year, he said he was just going to give the same talk over again at his next few speaking events because he couldn't think of anything new.

[Metalogic42]

So, here's something I never bothered to mention to the A+/FTB/Skepchick crowd: I'm "oppressed" on multiple axes.

I'm bisexual (oh noes heteronormative)
I'm at the lower end of middle class (oh noes I'm teh poor)
I'm somewhat overweight (oh noes fatass shaming)
I have really bad eyesight (oh noes ableismz)
I'm on the autism spectrum (oh noes neurodiversity)

Except, I don't feel oppressed at all. I feel like any problems I have are a direct result of who I am, and not because of "the patriarchy". That is, what's wrong isn't cultural, it's me*. I would be objectively better off, for example, if I had 20/20 vision. And if someone does try to cause me problems, I just shrug it off. Oh, you don't like that I'm different than you? Whatever, fuck off. No skin off my back.

This is the only attitude that makes sense to me. Where is all their victimhood coming from? It's not like they're being sprayed with firehoses or having dogs sent after them.

*I'm not bemoaning my own existence here; it's just that I'm not perfect (like everyone else). Overall my life is pretty good.

[xinit]

Soooo, Luna Lindsey (and I read "loon" at first) is trying to teach us a lesson on how the menz are big, stompy kinds of animals and the womenz are tiny, little, fluffy, sweet animals? Yeah. That *totally* screams feminism.

It was one of the better attempts at a privilege analogy that I've seen, for all its faults about painting women as completely helpless and nice. The use of 'money' as an adjective is more than a little confusing.

I disagree. First of all the bear/bunny metaphor is shite. Outside of Disney films bears and bunnies do not frolic together in the woods nor does the physical power difference between a bear and a rabbit accurately reflect the power differences between a man and a woman.

Not GOOD... but one of their BETTER attempts. It's at least passingly internally consistant.

Lousy Rapist?

How do we know it was a false accusation Jason? Women never lie about being raped. We need to start listening to and believing the women. I think your a rapist Jason.

Carrie Poppy in full skepchick uniform. Morrissey glasses with pretendy-lenses and a Surly-ramic proclaiming she's a vegan. I never knew who Carrie Poppy was until 5 minutes ago and already I think she's a cunt.

it's good to know who the vegans are. When civilizatio collapses, they'll be the best source for soylent green.

Whoa there Carrie. You need to cut down on the tofutti. Vegan doesn't mean necessarily mean healthier.

Even if he isn't a rapist (ROFL, as if!) doesn't he know that comments denying he raped somebody encourage rape culture? I think Jason needs to study feminism 101*

* "Feminism 101"can be found on every feminist blog in the world but for some reason feminism 101 is a bit like fingerprints in that no two are ever the same.

I can tell you why he takes this position, though: because he is a decent human being. That also tells you what I think of the people who oppose this new emphasis on equality in the atheist/skeptic movements.

Is he really this dense, or is he poisoning the well on purpose? From what I've seen, the opposition isn't to an emphasis on equality, but an emphasis on rhetoric meant to blow up a few minor events into massive proportions and shift focus from skepticism to complete non-issues.

I'm suspicious of people who defend their ignorant, retarded opinions with "I was just trolling". Firstly it's an ideal way to deflect any criticism and claim superiority:"You actually believed I want all the queers rounded up and shot? Ha! I was just trolling and you are too stupid to see!"
Secondly no troll in his/her right mind just admits they are trolling.The fun is in stringing people along and getting peoples backs up. If, after a few angry replies, somebody says "Whoa I never meant it I was just trolling" I call bullshit. I could be wrong but this age old graphic exists for a reason.

[Eucliwood]

Looking through the reviews of Sungudogo I found this one:

Using a journey across the dark continent, searching for an as yet undiscovered primate, as a metaphor for the search for real men in the skeptics movement who support women rather than the slymepits that demean them, is pure brilliance.

Pure brilliance.....? Writing a fucking entire book (badly)and having it e-published just to take a swipe at some faceless people on the internet is pure brilliance?
New Years Resolution hint: Get a grip.

Wait, I thought his book only covered skepticism because he didn't want to show everyone the "plus"/FTB part?

BTW, my guy was looking over my shoulder yesterday and saw that A+ Safe Space graphic. He said some enterprising person should snag a Lost in Space robot pic and create a "Lost in A+ Safe Space" graphic. He kept asking me to do it but I generally suck at that sort of thing.

Omg, omg that would be great. Your guy has some great ideas. I'd do it but I don't know how and I think even if I did I would be too lazy to do it.

Likewise, if you, knowing that I was once accused of rape, suspect me of being capable of this before getting to know me, then you're probably not the type of person I want to be friends with anyway.

Okay, I have an idea. Can someone please say something like this on a blog post (that is NOT on Jason's blog) about the potential-rapist crap? Then tell me what their reaction is. You shouldn't say it verbatim.. you should say something like "If someone, knowing that I was accused of rape before, suspecting me of being capable of this before getting to know me, then they're probably not the type of person I want to be friends with anyway."

If they have a negative reaction, then we have a conflict here. Wait until the reaction to point out that a fellow blogger of theirs said such a thing, and ask if he was criticized or called the same things?

Might be a dumb idea but... I still want someone to do it.

You were pegged as a 'pitter on PZ's blog. Congrats, you are now a part of the Dungeon :D

Wow, so I'm automatically banned for even going here? Who banned me, exactly? PZ? He can kiss my ass. Making it a crime to go here...wow.

Well, might as well wear it as a badge of honor. Yaaay...

It's always been about poisoning the well with PZ and the rest of his cult. If you disagree with them in any way, you are tarred and feathered as a misogynist, rape enabler, rape apologist, MRA scumbag who is pissed off that his right to rape women is being threatened by the Gnu Feminists.

Also, if you disagree with them in any way, that makes you automatically a Slymepitter, whether or not you have actually heard of the Slymepit. It's how they downplay the fact that such a large portion of the atheist/skeptic community is disgusted by them - they just say "Oh, the opposition is just a few disgruntled slymepit scum, overlook them."

Sometimes, they were trolling though, or just making a mockery out of something, and they do not want to be recognized as being serious. When I got too mad at someone they revealed they were trolling and I believed them. Not sure if I believe this person was trolling though ;)

It is on purpose. Some of his commenters can be excused for being stupid, but PZ has shown many times that he is a hypocrite with no moral standards. He deliberately misreads everything, as the frame is more important than reality. Funny how much he ragged on Mooney, yet now does the same things as him and that other guy who seemed to disappear from the internet (just remembered him, can't remember name), as well as his other "opponents" (maybe teachers would be better) such as Kwok and the Discovery Institute.

In a way, it's like the "you are what you eat" trope - PZ became the people he used to fight against.
