And they expect him to keep their contact information in his rolodex? Hell no. If this was not just an organization, but someone you had been dating, you would definitely cut all contact and only collect information on their harassment just in case you needed to press charges.

So I don't know if anyone has been following stuff in Ukraine at all, but self-declared Donetsk Republic officially declared civil war. Russian military is pouring in (even more that they already were, I mean). My money is on Odessa next. Response from NATO is the usual hand wringing and appeasement in case we upset the fascist dictator.

Don't write her off so quickly.
Just think of the advantages of feminist science if they manage to overthrow sexed equations such as E=mc2
Remember, as Lucy Irigary said, this equation "privileges the speed of light over other speeds that are vitally necessary to us" - not to mention preventing us from achieving faster than light interstellar transport.
What has traditional patriarchal-friendly physics ever done for us?

A couple weeks ago I learned that the word you're looking for is "censorial," not "censorious" (the former is the adjectival form of "censor," while the latter is the adjectival form of "censure"). I'd been using "censorious" wrongly for some time, and nobody ever corrected me, so I thought I'd share.

Do carry on with this informative discussion.
Shit - this reminds of when, in my 20s, I corrected someone for writing restaurateur, insisting that it was restauranteur. And my family owned a restaurant. Thanks for the info.

Aneris set the parameters I just showed how inane that was. I doubt many MGTOWs want anything to do with AVFM and AVFM is not all of the men's right movement as their are many others. If feminism wasn't an ideology and was really interested in equal rights it would work with the MRAs. The fact that the feminists shut down MRAs voices and misrepresent them at every opportunity means the MRAs have to oppose the feminists. You would know this if you checked the facts and what has been happening during the last few years but rather than being a skeptic you just want to be a contrarian.
And you know exactly what about me? right, so now we've established you know fuck-nothing.

No, they don't have to "fight the feminists" at every turn. They WANT to do that, but they do not HAVE to do that. Fighting the feminists ala AVfM will change precisely zero unequitable laws. It will help build exactly zero shelters for men who are victims of domestic abuse. It will do exactly fuck-all nothing to help bring down the 90% under-reporting of male rape.

It will do nothing that actually fixes a single real-world problem other than Paul Elam and JTO are self-centered whiny assholes and a bra size and a vagina are the only differences between them and Zvan.

There are a lot of mens groups who are working diligently to actually fix real problems, and the cockfaces at AVfM not only don't help them, they actually hinder them, because they have to distance themselves from the whining and puling noise that lot engages in. When AVfM's activism section shows you know, stuff like fundraising to help build shelters and lobbying for equity in the laws, you just fucking let me know. But I just checked, same old same old.
Huh? Pray tell, how does a very small group affect change when their voice is silenced by loud protests and pulling fire alarms and blocking and banning them at every turn. Also when your opponents use their influence in the media and academia to block you and falsely claim you are a hate group for just fighting for the rights of men and boys. How about a little experiment: go to the government or local council and ask for funds for an issue that effects women, now try and do the same for men. Then get back to me.
You keep working at it, until you get what you want. What you described was the same situation for equal rights for african-americans in the united states between the end of the civil war, and well, now. I mean there's still groups loudly and proudly trying to push fairly blatant racism. What, you give up? "Oh, it's hard, there's loud mean people, I guess we'll all go home"? Note, you're complaining about OMG SOMEONE PULLED A FIRE ALARM, I'm talking about people who were burned alive, lynched, shot, attacked by dogs, you name it. Fucking fire alarms. If that's the worst thing that happens, you got off fucking easy.

Honkie please. You just keep working and trying to get more people to see the value in what you are doing, and accept that this will not happen quickly or even in your lifetime. But if you give up because it's harrrrrd, then what the fuck, you may as well go live in the woods.

Or, you can sit there in your house, and cry rage tears about the feminists and write more angry posts on AVfM about them. The way I'm talking about may take longer to happen, your way will guarantee that NOTHING happens. Which may be ultimately what you want. Because if shit gets fixed, then you're kind of at a loss for things to do.

There really isn't much of a difference between AVfM and Hensley at all, is there.

Ah, more ret-con, yummy. But how could Baby Peezus, born with all his privilege boxes ticked; white, male, hetero, (a bit hard up, but by 1st world standards) reason his way to enlightenment?
As long as I can remember, I’ve been one…even before I knew what it is. I felt it.
Oh, he just "felt it".

Ah, but also, Mum got a job and Dad socked her and she left. So maybe that was a clue.
I’ll never forget what my mother did. She left. She took my sisters and moved back to stay with her parents
Woah, woah, woah. Mum took off with the girls and left Little Paul alone with Mr Hitty?
I also knew in that moment that she was also damn strong and righteous. Even if I was crying myself to sleep every night, I was proud that she had stood up for herself.
Really? An eight year old boy, abandoned by his mother after the most traumatic event of his young life, is proud of her for ditching him? Astounding ideological soundness in one so young!

Also, "righteous"? I recall Little Paul's image of casting his enemies down into the depths yesterday and I'm starting to wonder about his choice of terminology.
I also learned that women can be strong, and that good men can make mistakes.
...and good men can be forgiven for those mistakes. Bad men, however, are never to be forgiven, are they Peezus?
And years later, when I learned about this Christian feminist thing, my reaction was to think, “But of course…isn’t everyone?”

Idiots.

Men's Rights groups would go a lot further if they tried on an active basis to change things.

That doesn't mean reacting to every scandal as your foremost activity, it means active campaigns to raise awareness and lobby for their issues and putting in time and effort on their own activities.

Right now for example, they have a raising awareness campaign based on the "Don't be that guy" poster. But that is just another REACTION campaign. Feminists were mean to me so...

When National Parents Organization lobbies for shared parenting, where is AVFM? Mostly silent until they read about it on the net. 99% of the material on AVFM about current events is REACTION.

When feminist idiots block your speech, OF COURSE you raise awareness of that. But that's not your only activity.
When feminist lobbyists try to change laws in unfavorable ways, OF COURSE you campaign against that. But that's not your only activity.
...

You do discuss feminism as you discuss any large political movement in our culture. But you do not define yourself and behave by opposition to feminism. What the fuck do you stand for? What do you do?

Does AVFM have
+ a director of lobbying
+ a calendar of events
+ a roster of volunteers (with zipcode information)

And you are honest. You encourage the good aspects of feminism, and you critique and allow critique of your own fucking movement.

About the time they switched from MRA to MHRA (and of course, what a stupid rebranding, who the fuck that they were trying to persuade will recognize the difference between MRA and MHRA (which sounds like the drag racing organization anyway)) Elam came out and said he wouldn't use "mangina" any more. But recently, I've seen it cropping back up in the articles they control editorial over, not just the comments.

Well to hell with them. The problem is they continue to poison the issues and environment for everyone. AVFM is the BP of the men's rights movement. Big and Toxic and polluting the waters and stealing the oxygen from the rest.
I don't always agree with you, but when I do, I agree with you like a motherfucker. Well-said.

The comments on PZ "Science works, bitches" Myers' post about his feminism is hilarious, mostly because of PZ himself.

Someone called konradcurze commented (WH40K fans might recall the name) and PZ flips out. Like, completely fucking loses it.

It culminates with this post (after he banned him, of course) where he seemingly doxxes him, and then belittles fans of WH40K by insinuating only children like it (which, by the way, is enjoyed by many women as well). Fucking brilliant you are, PZ. You can put that in your next book, "The Fappy Atheist" - complete with hentai tentacle porn on the cover.

Kiev should send in some of their invisible ninja crack troops like they did in Svyatogorsk- that ought to scare those Russians off.

http://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/2014 ... raine-town
Residents said they were surprised to learn of Kiev's announcement, saying pro-Russian rebels had never tried to seize their town.

"It's very calm here and has always been very calm," said a local who gave his first name as Miron.

Kiev on Tuesday declared it was resuming an "anti-terrorist" operation to flush the separatists out of around 10 towns they are occupying in Ukraine's east.

The beginning of the operation last week resulted in a couple of embarrassing failures, with the rebels notably stealing six armoured personnel carriers from the army, which managed to recover two of them later on.

Using words such as 'righteous' sounds massive alarm bells for me. It also seems he is trying to justify his Mothers actions. They may well have been justified but no child his age would grasp that when going through an emotional crisis. He is so used to revisionism he even manages to fool himself.

Honestly, he and much of his Horde (not all; I did notice several reacting unhappily to his swipe against Warhammer, though for some it was only because he was being "ageist") are basing their nerd stereotype seemingly on '80s comedies.

Someone should let them know that they're not jocks.

There really isn't much of a difference between AVfM and Hensley at all, is there.
I seem to recall AVfM does do some activism. I do not recall them doing this type though:

Support Bill C-560: Presumption of Equal Parenting
Support Bill C-560: Presumption of Equal Parenting

Help pass Bill C-560 to restore justice and equality in Canadian family courts

The Canadian Association for Equality (CAFE) and Canadian Equal Parenting Council (CEPC) are asking you to help get Bill C-560 passed in the Canadian parliament. The bill would amend the federal Divorce Act to include a rebbutable presumption of equal parenting.

Equal parenting (EP) is a collection of “best practices” in family law and procedures to ensure that both parents keep equal rights, responsibilities and time with their children, unless parents freely decide otherwise, or unless a parent has been proven unfit to an evidence-based standard. In effect, EP removes judicial discretion to award sole custody without due process and unless a clear standard has been met.

Read BILL C-560

In response to the Canadian Bar Association’s comments in opposition to Bill C-560, Lawyers for Shared Parenting, Leading Women for Shared Parenting and the Canadian Equal Parenting Council have prepared the following thorough and well researched document:
MYTHS VERSUS FACTS REGARDING BILL C-560
http://equalitycanada.com/wp-content/up ... 140409.jpg

Read the Myths and facts as to why the CBA may be opposed. Less money for them.

So yes up here in Kanukistan we are trying to get shit done where it counts.

I just wish that, if he's going to go all Ol' Time Religious, he'd adopt the King James Bible. It's great prose and a million times better than his current 'down with the kids' style. He writes like a Trendy Vicar.
When I saw his use of the word Righteous, all I could think was of him as the Fifth Horseman. Big Hovind, Little Hovind, Ham, Comfort…. and little PZ carrying the luggage and serving coffee.

How much would someone have to donate to get you to post a video of you LARPing like that one with those fuckwits we saw earlier? I'd be very tempted to splash the cash if I could get to see you in action.
Several years ago, I worked for a person named Kenyon Wells who was featured in a documentary called Darkon, which is all about LARPing. It's a fascinating look into a subculture that I didn't even know existed.

I find this a very simplistic view of the situation. For the record, your father hitting your mother was wrong, Full stop, end of story, no amount of logic can ever make that action OK. I do wonder however just how well an 8 year old can assess a very complex situation as the one you have described.

Money problems causes a lot of stress. Maybe your father was a chauvinistic pig who didn’t think women should work. I simply cant say. From my reading of your account however let me state another hypothesis.

Your family was struggling financially. Your father was doing everything in his power to raise his children as best he could but through no fault of his own he was failing. The argument to my mind seems more about should both parents work or should one stay at home. Your father already had a job and was unwilling to give this up, your mother got a job and in your fathers eyes abandoned the kids. Your father probably was thinking about the cost of the child care compared to the extra income. Your mother, unwilling to back down was (unintentionally) rubbing your fathers failure in his face. This would have increased the stress of everyone.

Had your mother got a job under different circumstances I would suggest that the outcome would have been different. I fail to see how feminism is equipped to handle this situation

That one I'd give him, because usually the first time people learn about feminism they are told "feminism is just thinking that women are humans too!", "feminism is about equality for everyone!", "feminism is equal pay for equal work", and all that stuff. It deliberately presented exactly as something that would make most people go "isn't everyone?".

It's later down the line you see the "SFTU YOU DISGUSTING WHITE HETERO CIS MAN! CHECK YOUR PRIVILIGE!!!" feminists justifying their own sexism and racism with home-cooked definitions, or spot that "equality" to feminists can mean something completely different than what you think it does...

No surprise here. As soon as StalPutin went boots-in in Crimea, it was clear he wasn't going to stop.

Putin will seize Donetsk and Kharkiv and he may send troops in the direction of Kiev before "yielding" to UN and other international pressure. And the West will wimp out and breath a sigh of relief that Putin has only pocketed half the country.
The game being played now isn't whether Russia can walk out the door with Crimea, but how much more of the Ukraine before it is forced by various pressures to stop.
If there is no pressure, and given the limp-wristed response so far I wouldn't be surprised, it's going to be full annexation.

Yeah, I can see that actually. It's not a strong linkage, but I can in fact see that: "...your mother got a job and in your fathers eyes abandoned the kids.

Of course, just like Czechoslovakia wasn't worth going to war with Germany. You must be kidding yourself if you think Ukraine is the only imperialist claim of the neo-fascist russian regime. Putin has made no bones about his desire to reclaim all the areas of the former soviet empire.

Agreed. I just hope the west-leaning Ukrainians give Russia an endless pile of shit to deal with. Most people don't like it when their country is taken over. I wonder if Russia will have more trouble than Ukraine is worth.

From what I read, the Russians were pushing for a splitting of Ukraine into an eastern pro-Russia state, and western pro-west state. I can see them sticking to that, since they would create a friendly buffer state on their border, and not have to worry about the problems that the pro-western elements would be stirring up.

Well, deep down, Pissy IS a toddler. He gets his kicks by cracker-smashing and crying "MISOGYNIST!" and being an asshole for attention. His entire blogging career has been a series of increasingly inane tantrums.

On another note, I see he's still pulling that childish "MY tastes are far superior to those of you plebians!" shit. Maybe someone ought to explain to him the concept of different people having different opinions.

But konradcurze attacked (okay, gently hinted at the possibility that the situation might be a bit too complicated for the brain of a 57 year old man or an 8 year old) a woman AND a victim of domestic violence (In SJL world that's a double score, the rest of us would call it a tautology in SJL ideology). I'm sure she was a saint.

Then again, I guess he's just being PeeZee with no rhyme nor reason to his ramblings. He doesn't need more to whip his horde into a frenzy.

No, they don't have to "fight the feminists" at every turn. They WANT to do that, but they do not HAVE to do that. Fighting the feminists ala AVfM will change precisely zero unequitable laws. It will help build exactly zero shelters for men who are victims of domestic abuse. It will do exactly fuck-all nothing to help bring down the 90% under-reporting of male rape.

It will do nothing that actually fixes a single real-world problem other than Paul Elam and JTO are self-centered whiny assholes and a bra size and a vagina are the only differences between them and Zvan.

There are a lot of mens groups who are working diligently to actually fix real problems, and the cockfaces at AVfM not only don't help them, they actually hinder them, because they have to distance themselves from the whining and puling noise that lot engages in. When AVfM's activism section shows you know, stuff like fundraising to help build shelters and lobbying for equity in the laws, you just fucking let me know. But I just checked, same old same old.
Huh? Pray tell, how does a very small group affect change when their voice is silenced by loud protests and pulling fire alarms and blocking and banning them at every turn. Also when your opponents use their influence in the media and academia to block you and falsely claim you are a hate group for just fighting for the rights of men and boys. How about a little experiment: go to the government or local council and ask for funds for an issue that effects women, now try and do the same for men. Then get back to me.
You keep working at it, until you get what you want. What you described was the same situation for equal rights for african-americans in the united states between the end of the civil war, and well, now. I mean there's still groups loudly and proudly trying to push fairly blatant racism. What, you give up? "Oh, it's hard, there's loud mean people, I guess we'll all go home"? Note, you're complaining about OMG SOMEONE PULLED A FIRE ALARM, I'm talking about people who were burned alive, lynched, shot, attacked by dogs, you name it. Fucking fire alarms. If that's the worst thing that happens, you got off fucking easy.

Honkie please. You just keep working and trying to get more people to see the value in what you are doing, and accept that this will not happen quickly or even in your lifetime. But if you give up because it's harrrrrd, then what the fuck, you may as well go live in the woods.

Or, you can sit there in your house, and cry rage tears about the feminists and write more angry posts on AVfM about them. The way I'm talking about may take longer to happen, your way will guarantee that NOTHING happens. Which may be ultimately what you want. Because if shit gets fixed, then you're kind of at a loss for things to do.

There really isn't much of a difference between AVfM and Hensley at all, is there.

I'd be shocked if Putin didn't go for Kiev at some point. Kiev is too important to the Russian myth. And what can the world do about it? I wouldn't want the US involved in a war for the Ukraine.

So, should I go there and post a comment asking him if he's the product of a drunkard wife-beater and a whore just to see if he loses it?
Your father probably was thinking about the cost of the child care compared to the extra income. Your mother, unwilling to back down was (unintentionally) rubbing your fathers failure in his face
That word, unwilling, blames the mother, because it means she could back down, but chose not to. "Unable" would be less blaming. On the whole I don't find Konradcurze's interpretation, via Internet and 49 years after it occurred, any more credible than PZ's. PZ's is marked by the fact he was a child unable to interpret much of what was presented and not present for tons of context.

We don't know how often the couple fought. Whether they hit each other, or she hit him at other times. We don't know what external forces were on him. We don't know that it was about childcare or not about childcare. We don't know it was abandonment. We don't know it was ego.

We especially don't know this:
I know my father was torn up because he was struggling so hard to meet that traditional male role as the breadwinner

...

And then, my mother got a job to help out. And my parents argued. I knew that wasn’t right; if Dad can work, why can’t Mom?
How does PZ know this? He doesn't tell us. Did he hear his father make statements to that effect, or does "know" mean PZ's lack of direct knowledge and only his interpretation? We don't know that the fights were over some patriarchal traditional role model feeling Dad had towards mom's working. We only have PZ's interpretation from a child's eyes plus 49 years to go on.

Kids are not reliable witnesses. I assume mother and father loved the kids and loved each other, REGARDLESS, a kid separated from his parent living with the other parent is almost certainly going to interpret the situation differently than any independent outside observer.

You must be kidding yourself if you think Ukraine is the only imperialist claim of the neo-fascist russian regime. Putin has made no bones about his desire to reclaim all the areas of the former soviet empire.
And since almost none of them are bastions of democracy and human rights should we even care which strongman is in power?

I do not celebrate Burns day not because I hate him or anything, in fact let us give credit where credit is due. The man could write, and I have nothing again those who want to praise him.

But Rabbie was a lowlander.
Are you "Boo" or "Boo-urns"?

Regarding Peezus and his obvious ire concerning his childhood incident, I think people are missing the main point.
It's clear to me that the entire post was done purposefully, with the intent of showing his disgust at, and zero tolerance of, domestic violence.

While I don't know the truth of this, rumors have it that TAM have invited a speaker this year who has been previously arrested on a charge of domestic violence!

I suspect Peezus has heard the same rumors, and this post is simply a warm-up for his main post in which he condemns the JREF for inviting this man (it's bound to have been a man, isn't it?) and exposing and shaming the guilty perp! :twisted:
