Ah ok. Actually I did write that it's a murder case - the main point is that they are supposed to have signed a confession after being beaten and threatened with rape.

Perhaps you'd also like to highlight a couple of ongoing cases from Saudi-Arabia that do have a connection to religious apostasy?
http://www.ansamed.info/ansamed/en/news ... 24129.htmlBadawi was arrested for allegedly insulting Islam on his website, ''threatening general security'' and ridiculing the religious police in his articles, one of which was published on Saint Valentine's Day, which is banned in Saudi Arabia. Badawi also allegedly refused to remove articles written by others from his website. The charges were changed on December 17 to apostasy, which is a capital crime in Saudi Arabia.Another Saudi dissident intellectual, Turki al-Hamad, has been incarcerated since December 24 on charges of insulting the Prophet Mohammed because of a tweet in which he suggested Islam might need reform.

Maria M (bluharmony) recently posted a link to "myth created by feminists".
That blogpost effectively said that there was no male-on-female historical oppression of women, biology and untamed nature was the deciding factor as to how our cultures did division of labor, and we needed modern medicine to free women from reproduction constraints as well as massive expansion of tertiary sector of economy (i.e desk jobs) to get to where we are. Now the question is.. how long will society live in "myth of historical oppression", how long will men suffer from guilt and go on paying "reparations" to women?[/spoiler]
This is not restricted to just online feminists or FTB.. else that cracked article someone posted here wouldnt be talking about "myth of historical oppression of women(only)". I am pretty sure even anti-FTB "freethinkers" believe in it. for e.g Justin Vacula's friend Karla Porter from NEPA had a post where she bitches about how men have ruined it for women w.r.t gender double standards.. and after I argued with her, she grudgingly accepted that yeah.. women had an equal role. This is what she started with.What holds women back today is no different than at the time when Moses was talking to the burning bush - a double standard that our culture and society will not recognize is unjust and move to finally and definitively rectify. Young women are subjected to messages and manipulation manufactured by men and even other women who have not come to realize their own mental and emotional subjugation. The result is the propagation of pervasive biased negative attitudes that cause direct harm to over half of our population, and indirectly to the population as a whole.

This whole episode is an example of Welch's bit about how not to fight NMDs. You don't win by playing their games or posting at their blogs, you win by sitting back, pointing out their hypocrisy, lies, harassment, bullying and vileness, and laughing at them. That's the Pit's strength, and that's why this place has caught the eye of so many (even if they don't admit it).
It was a terrible idea to take them on directly by running a petition. To do that you are validating their stance, yet their official stance is a facade behind which they hide their real agenda - maintaining their monopoly of highly paid speaker positions in the US conference circuit.
Look, the basic problem we pitters face is that the word "feminism", though it has a very broad meaning, is widely interpreted by the general public as what we generally call equity or equality feminism (meaning equal rights for men and women, equal opportunity etc.)
To complain about "feminism" negatively affecting atheism and skepticism and you are off to a bad start. You are forced to go into a long winded explanation of the type of radical feminism you mean, all the while the FTB crowd are saying "but we are not rad fems, we are just ordinary feminists!"
It is really a winning strategy for them. I mean, look at them. Look at the incompetence, the obvious hypocrisy and the blatant bigotry, greed and viciousness.
Why are they still around?
Why is a dork like Watson getting invited all around the world to talk science?
It's because of their strategy to link a very fluid version of feminism to their cause.
Look at how Peezus defines their brand of feminism:
"Feminism: The radical notion that women are people"
It's a quote that pops up in various Feminism101 pieces you'll find scattered around the net and is originally attributed to the British journalist Rebecca West.
This is the idea that PZ Myers and the FTB crowd claim WE are opposing.
That women are people.
You know what ?
I don't oppose the idea that women are people.
What's more, I will take a guess and say that NOBODY that posts here thinks that women are not people.
In fact, going by PZ's description, the Slymepit is a feminist site!
I realize that PZ and his crew don't really think that feminism is simply believing "women are people".
It's clear to all that PZ really believes something more along the lines of:
Feminism is the radical notion that women are people, plus X.
X, itself, is composed of A plus B, plus C, plus D, which vary in definition and importance depending on the question at hand (rape culture, patriarchy, mansplaining, privilege, sex positivity, misogyny etc)
While I agree with Welsh that we should never take them on at their own game, but merely poke fun at their ridiculousness from the sidelines, I think it might be worthwhile to consider the similarities of the FTB side to a religious coalition.
They remind me of the religious right in the US, with Catholics allied with fundamentalist baptists. They have a cause that joins them but there are deep differences that will eventually tear them apart.
Despite the use of radfem language (mansplaining, privilege, rape culture etc) I don't think it is accurate to describe the FTB crowd as radfems.
They are mostly on the sex positive side of feminism, as opposed to the pornography negative side (nobody calls themself sex negative). I would place only Ophelia and Taslima on the pornography/sex worker negative side.
The rest of them use the language and arguments of the porn negative feminists (radfems) whenever it seem necessary, for the simple reason that the radfem philosophy of patriarchy theory is like the flood geology of feminism. It is unfalsifiable - and therefore it seems the perfect tool to use in an argument since, like flood geology, it has easy canned answers to every problem posed, except instead of "God did it!"" you get: "you just don't get it due to privilege!", "you are mansplaining!", "rape culture!", "it's misogyny!")
What would happen if the Slymepit announced it was a feminist* site?
*PZ Myers plagiarized definition. (Feminism is the radical notion that women are people"
I suspect that they would be forced into redefining what they really mean by feminism - and that is bound to lead to problems because most of them don't seem to know what the various schools of feminist thought believe.
As a quick aside, have a look at the radfem101 page - notice all the catchphrazes that have become commonplace in online atheism since Elevatorgate.

I wonder what period of time you are talking about, or more importantly if it even spread out to the real world feminist organizations like NOW and AAUW.

What I'm saying is that I think that at one point there was a real movement away from that sort of bigotry in the feminist community, and at this junction I would say that movement is reversed.
[/spoiler]This state of affairs continued in England till well into the nineteenth century. Thenceforward a change began to take place. Modern Feminism rose slowly above the horizon. Modern Feminism has two distinct sides to it: (1) an articulate political and economic side embracing demands for so-called rights; and (2) a sentimental side which insists in an accentuation of the privileges and immunities which have grown up, not articulately or as the result of definite demands, but as the consequence of sentimental pleading in particular cases. In this way, however, a public opinion became established, finding expression in a sex favouritism in the law and even still more in its administration, in favour of women as against men.
These two sides of Modern Feminism are not necessarily combined in the same person. One may, for example, find opponents of female suffrage who are strong advocates of sentimental favouritism towards women in matters of law and its administration. On the other hand you may find, though this is more rare, strong advocates of political and other rights for the female sex, who sincerely deprecate the present inequality of the law in favour of women. As a rule, however, the two sides go together, the vast bulk of the advocates of “Women’s Rights†being equally keen on the retention and extension of women’s privileges. Indeed, it would seem as though the main object of the bulk of the advocates of the “Woman’s Movement†was to convert the female sex into the position of a dominant sexe noblesse. The two sides of Feminism have advanced hand in hand for the last two generations, though it was the purely sentimental side that first appeared as a factor in public opinion.

Excuse all the naming inconsistencies in the store. Zazzle fucks them up beyond what I can control in the settings. I have no idea why or how they fuck them up, but they do.
If I were to make this into ceramic jewelry, I would make it so that the whole jewelry would be the logo, rather than have the image drawn onto a ceramic piece. I took ceramics in junior high school, and even back then, I was much better than Surly Amy (LOL). If I had the kiln and molds to make such things, I would.
Surly Amy can probably give you more details about the whole copyright protection thing.

Nice work over there, Commander. The guyis such a tool, like a use a screwdriver to hammer a nail, tool.CommanderTuvok wrote:Julian Francisco's arse-bleeding butthurt is a pleasure to witness over at Gaudette's article.
The clueless EllenBeth Wachs also humiliates herself again.
Surly Amy is lucky the BBC doesn't come after her big time, she produces Surly's with the TARDIS on them and I would be very surprised if she licensed those from the BBC, they guard their property very carefully and it would have cost her bucks to get that one.masakari2012 wrote:Yeah, I considered that a while ago. What I wanted was to find an artist who can draw up a similar image. Or I could use this same image to make one ceramic jewelry for myself, just as long as I'm not selling it to others. But I don't see myself ever getting into the fake ceramic business.Skep tickle wrote:I think the Ghostbusters logo is copyrighted by Columbia Pictures, so there could be legal trouble if items with that image are offered for sale.masakari2012 wrote:When I first fotoflexed it, I did so hoping that others may copy and use it. Thanks for asking first, but you don't need my permission, since I merely took a Ghostbuster's logo, and added the hair on it, and adjusted the eyes, nose and mouth. If you can make money off of it, then go ahead. Just remember, if you get a lot of sales, send me a free copy.Scented Nectar wrote:Would you mind that I actually did that and made your avatar into a PSEUDO-ceramic jewellery necklace? It's Authentic Fake Jewellery (which cancels itself out and therefore makes it real jewellery). If you don't want me to use your av for it though, let me know and I'll remove those and that still leaves the other set that says "Authentic Fake Jewellery"masakari2012 wrote:Maximus, no need for that. We just have to bring more minorities to the Pit. Let's start giving free handouts, free Slyme Pit stickers and ERV badges via mail, for every registration. Perhaps take my avatar pic, and turn it into ceramic jewelry. Then, we'll limit all of the white posters in this group so they can't post as much, and we'll have the minorities say as much as they'd like. That should do it! :P
Btw, Zazzle makes me take a minimum of 10% profit on everything. If ever my profits go higher than $50, they will give it to me. However, my profits are at the huge lifetime total of $7.62, which I'll never see unless it hits $50 in profit some day. Anyways, I'm not expecting that to happen, but if it does, I'll pump it back into the Slymepit donation thingy, since I am spamming them here.
It's not the prettiest of colour selections, and there are far too many blues on the store page that shows them all, but here they are...Authentic Fake Jewellery!

I'm waiting for the first burqa ad. Wearing a burqa would be perfectly in line with radical feminism. There has always been a lot of convergent evolution between extremist ideologies.

It helps that she seemed to have watched the entire video and then actually gave it some thought, resulting in a thoughtful reply.

The ads are not controlled by FTB but by cookies you have in your system. That's why I get Jeep ads.
