Tomorrow it will be 3 in 3. Those of you who think you haven't been raped, just need to recover your memory.

I've been physically attacked 3 times as an adult, once me and 2 guys ended up in Hospital, I needed several stitches. Shit happens. I don't care about it or think everyone I look at means me harm. It does not stop me doing anything. I lived and learned that's all that mattered. I was lucky and many are not. I don't know what my point it but all of us, men and women, are always at risk.

I agree women are naturally more vulnerable but we all have concerns so we need to work together to try and make life safer, not impose a divisive and flawed ideology that only serves to damage efforts to improve all our lives.

Even scented nectar knows it's three pubes per ball, although that might be because we've had this discussion before.

If I can just invoke the "no true b3tan" fallacy, this is how it should be for puritans amongst us:

I hadn't noticed that part. It makes sense now, she doesn't give a fuck about skepticism and what are usually skepticism's targets, so that's why she's trying to turn the CFI into the Center for Feminist Inquiry.
What the hell did she think she was going to talk about if she got a job at a place that includes this in their mission statement:

We reject mysticism and blind faith. No topic should be placed off limits to scrutiny—certainly not fringe science and religion, which have an enormous influence on beliefs and conduct
What you are not seeing is that her views are apparently acceptable to her employers. Perhaps people should be asking why the dog is not barking in the night.

Dogs barking are not unusual. It is however, unusual when they do not when they should.

I would suggest that Melody is not a problem. She is however, a symptom of the "palace coup" that took place a few years ago. I believe Franc had a few words on that subject some time ago.

In any event, I believe people should stop viewing Melody as the disease. She is just a visible sign of the infection.

I am not concerned enough to check her blogpost, but I can hazard a guess that she related the case to how she is a victim?

This is the NYTimes story on it, and, yes, she was identifying with the victim(s).

He has more books published, is still widely respected, and hasn't lost a ton of friends over psychotic episodes. Surely that's enough? I wonder when she'll start to pull a Mabus. The post above re: her wanting to be left alone sounds like the same kind of need to speak out in bizarre rants. In Mabus' case, it's because he's batshit insane.

I harbour a hope that it's down to the fact that Shermer has a rep for seducing women on his travels - and that he has never once tried it on with our Phelia.

For my part I have studiously avoided commenting on anyone's suitability for a job. As well as not knowing what she does or how good she is, it is not for me to decide that. Pushing disputes to meatspace is something I am heavily against. As long as we make our observations then the responsible parties can do with that what they wish. I won't play their game with their immoral rules of anything goes.

I am NOT commenting on what you said I just felt the need to say it as I like to bore you all.

Yes, I've heard of the rule that one should always draw at least a few pube hairs on penis drawings. But if you don't mind a bit of constructive criticism, don't draw them all at the side edges only. That makes them look like penis shaped insects with the pube hairs as legs, 3 on each side. It would probably make Skepchickie's 'buggirl' faint.
:lol:

Hey, Watson's penis bird fails the 3 pube rule.

Actually, that is the easy part. It's the conference itself that is insanely busy.
In my experience it is usually someone relatively junior who does conference organising. The boss will approve a list of speakers and the PA or another office wonk will make all the calls

Yep, she did..some examples from her blog on it:

'This is what people are trying to do to all of us: put enough garbage out there that some of it will stick no matter how fraudulent it is.'

'Omigod. Yes, the way I “stalk” my harassers to correct their lies and protest their harassment. It’s not the same thing...'


If she avoided all the victim crap she may be worth reading although really it is nothing new.

Some asshat is attempting to dox people. It started with A+ members and because I said it was not a good thing, the idiot is trying to dox me: https://twitter.com/IbecameCompton

First of all, I don't hide my information (at least not overly much) because I learned a long time ago that if someone really wants to find out my information, they can. Secondly, it seems IBecameCompton really sux at doxxing so I'm not overly worried. However, other people are. What sort of asshole thinks this is ok?

Well, their hypocrisy and backpedalling is exposed for all to see. I can't wait to see all the evidence that Wachs has for the misogyny here in the 'pit. Surely she will put it forth, just like all the others do. :whistle:

Somehow I think it will be ... "crickets" "crickets"
I'm surprised she didn't say she's got binders full of chill girls.

Let's see if Melody sticks the flounce. I don't think she will. After all, she keeps engaging in discussions with the people who are 'triggering' her.

Okay, I asked for EllenBeth to pass on the screencaps of the supposed misogyny here at the 'Pit.

However, I think we should presume from the get-go that this is going to be from the feminist theory definition of misogyny, and not the dictionary definition which simply says "hatred of women." Feminist theory definition of misogyny describes it thus:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misogyny#Feminist_theory
In feminist theory,[clarification needed] misogyny is a negative attitude towards women as a group, and so need not fully determine a misogynist's attitude towards each individual woman. The fact that someone holds misogynist views may not prevent him or her from having positive relationships with some women. Conversely, simply having negative relationships with some women does not necessarily mean someone holds misogynistic views. The term, like most negative descriptions of attitudes, is applied to a wide variety of behaviors and attitudes.
The [clarification needed] is not mine, that's actually from Wikipedia. There's no real source to support the claim. Straight away, though, you can see that "misogyny" in feminist theory is very vague and doesn't provide a clear definition. In fact, that whole Wiki entry is a whole sleugh of unsupported by sources claims and contains this hilarity,
Traditional feminist theorists[who?] describe many different attitudes as misogyny. According to feminists,[who?] in its most overt expression, a misogynist will openly hate all women simply because they are female.
Who, indeed. So when EllenBeth accuses the Slymepit of having misogynistic rhetoric, I wonder.

I find them kind of boring after a couple of comments. They are basically one-trick ponies or broken records. They keep repeating the same arguments over and over, hoping that people will get so sick of hearing it again and again that they just say "Ok, you win". I have to admit, that Ellenbeth Wachs doesn't pull a complete Ophie and make it about her, even if she did a partial with her 'swat raid" comment. I thought about asking her why she considers that issue of less importance than this one (ie, one is real, the other is manufactured), but I try to avoid entangling myself with idiots these days. I prefer to snipe from the sidelines.

Um, yeah. Your writing. All of it. Or rather, "Alle of Itte"

When I first visited FTB and read Comradde Physio's blog my very first thought was: "this guy is an embarassment to FTB - why do they keep him around??"
The most credible theory seems to be that the 'proffe is blackmailing Peezus and Brayton.

That definition sounds like asking a person to define "god" - it says everything and nothing at the same time. If there is no way of determining who is a misogynist, as that definition suggests, then what use is it? Am I reading it wrong, or is it saying "you can hate all women, but not some, or you can hate some women but not hate all"? How can you have a positive relationship with someone you hate? I have worked, sometimes real well, with people I could not stand (or actively hated) - by keeping as much as possible my personal feelings out of the job. I wouldn't call that a positive relationship, though, even if we got the job done.

Is this the hipster definition, or a pomo one, perhaps?

Melody Hensley Melody Hensley ‏@MelodyHensley

@SpokesGay @blotzphoto Simon is running CFI event. He is coming home now to take me.
https://twitter.com/MelodyHensley/statu ... 8980950016

In previous tweets, Melody has complained of feeling ill and not being able to sleep.

What's the betting that this will be wound into a narrative of Melody being hounded out of the event?

My Mykeru-brand threat-narrative clown horn is hooting like an Owl on uppers at this development...

He only has 12 tweets, so it's not like he is a major asshole, just another kid trying to prove his dicks bigger than others by acting tough on the internet. Yeah, an asshole, but a minor one. I suppose if anyone calls, you can report it to the police or FBI (assuming it is across state lines) if it gets bad - with everything else you have, you don't need dicks like that trying to get to you (hmm, I wonder what people like Ellenbeth or Melody would say about this action?).

What to do?
Send him to Oolon's bot for auto blocking? Report him for spam? Block him as well?

I finally unprivated my own twitter so I could talk to a tech guy about a game (they are hard to contact). I'm not worried about any of this shit happening, and if I get removed, so what? I never use it anyway - I think I've made 3 or 4 tweets, most of which were not seen by anybody since I didn't know the private setting worked that way.

Misogynist at Work! Vacula Tries to Harrass Melody Out of Job

Can already see the next posts at Skepchicks/FTB
#130 Justin Vacula (Guest) on Sunday February 17, 2013 at 2:22pm
Melody Hensley talks about how online discussions ‘trigger’ her. This is quite odd considering that she continues to engage in discussion with her detractors and even interacts with people on Twitter whom she blocks after she alleges they are harassing her. In the above comments, Melody interacts many many times.

This doesn’t sound like honesty or expected behavior from someone who just can’t handle discussions with her detractors. If it’s really so bad, one would expect Melody to never engage, right? Right?

She should step down from her position at CFI if she can’t deal with the public.

I do have a FTB/Wordpress account but when I checked it my real life info (real name and address) were not listed. I'm probably OK so long as I don't respond to any shady email right?

So far, no screencaps from EllenBeth has arrived in my inbox.

Also, Renee, great you got the site working! The podcasts also has better sound--clearer, crisper--but the sound only comes in one ear. I heard you in my left, and AmbrosiaX in my right. It was weird. Not sure how you would go about to fixing that, though, so maybe not so great as constructive criticism. Anyway, it was a nice talk and I enjoyed it. Keep it up!

You add a stereo-separation filter to the master and rebalance the two channels, or convert to mono if it's too difficult, then reupload. Or just set the player on mono while listening.

I disagree. I wouldn't say she's puritanical or radical, even. I certainly don't see her sharing the same insane views as Marcotte, Hensley and McWrong.
Did you follow the links in my post?

She describes herself as a Marxist radical feminist. And if picketing the funeral of an ex-escort to protest against prostitution, fundraising for a campaign to ban pornography, and lobbying for the closure of sex shops and strip clubs doesn't make someone puritanical, what the fuck does?

Apart from Taslima Nasrin, I don't think there's anyone among the FTB crowd with views as extreme as Smurthwaite's.
