Christina Hoff Sommers just released a video called How fainting couch feminism threatens freedom [youtube]8ewU33EdNnM[/youtube]
The first time I encountered a Fainting Couch reference was here. So thought it may be of interest to posters here to see the meme spreading.

I have had a look at the Joint statement by Ophelia Benson and Richard Dawkins (RDF not FTB link). I fail to see how this could be bad for Dawkins. When has Dawkins ever used any of the following, or promoted people who do the following- "death threats, rape threats, attacks on peopleâ€™s appearance...

The Fermi Paradox addresses all of those points. I think that "life" would have a lot of problems developing on the outer surface of a hydrogen fusion reaction. There's lots of energy, but not much molecular variety. Moreover, the universe is freaking huge and very old. The alien civilizations that...

Oh, and a completely tangential thought: Why is the pressure always placed on girls to go into male-dominated fields? Why do we see no equivalent pressure on boys to go into historically female-dominated ones? And perhaps more importantly: Why are boys often choosing to do so anyway? Male nurses we...

If the term just means a lack of belief in gods, then the term DOES NOT "carry some obligations" beyond not believing in gods.

I think that it is possible to make a good argument for cannibalism being morally right. Interesting. Shall we discuss this over lunch?

Incidentally you never did respond to the "burrowing female dwarves in the kitchen" thing. Still hoping you were talking about Dwarf Fortress :P. Yep I was talking about Dwarf Fortress.

"[Feminists] are not outraged [by the fact that Muslim women are mistreated]" is not an argument at all, it's a factual claim.

Trying to parse their logic here, I think they are taking the line that Ogvorbis, who has claimed that he(?) was 12 years old at the time he(?) committed the multiple rapes of toddlers, is too young to bear responsibility for those actions - in much the same way that a 12 year old who has sex with ...

Yeah, this drives me crazy just thinking about it. Someone from the Pitt needs to post this information as a PSA on Youtube.
