Fuck that noise. Gift cards state "I don't care enough about you to think of a real present, but instead of cash I'm going to force you to go to a store of my choosing if you want a gift. I am also okay with paying a fee for this."

Just give cash if you don't know what to get. Make it interesting by giving him odd denominations like dollar coins and two dollar bills.

Aww, sheeit! Full circle, for me. At college in the early 90's, in a dorm suite fulla Ivy League undergrads-- immersed in post-modernism-- an argument between two friends stalemated with:

"Words have meaning, Kevin!"

Well I'll tell you why. Because they're haters, that's why... I'm aware of this group that is attacking me. In one other group there are 200.

I'm paraphrasing closely. I'm only halfway through the video but she's gone from 0 to 5 confirmed death threats in 15 minutes!

http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfre ... se-twitter

I am constantly amazed by what The Guardian is willing to publish.
From the same columnist a couple of months ago: Why Kanye West would be the best president in US history (seriously).

People keep talking about "Peak Guardian". I still think they've a way to go before they can match the one from six years ago about the animated meerkats with comedy Russian accents in the car insurance ads being racist.

Well, the Guardian (a media outlet that should be up my street, as centrist liberal) has been going through "a phase" recently. It has gone way overboard on its coverage of feminism. All they are missing is a "WAR ON WOMEN" section, a la Fox News. Also, most of their feminist articles seem to come from SJWs, who promote the Sarkeesian/Valenti narrative that they are super-smart women who receive constant abuse 24/7, as opposed to legitimate criticism of their lies, misrepresentations, silliness, and then the odd git on Twitter who sends rape threats or something. The Guardian buys fully into the victim narrative, the simpler the better. Hence, it tends to side with anti-GG, because simply saying a movement is a "hate movement", as opposed to explaining the background and rather nuanced make-up of the GG story and position, is easier.

To cap things off, Charlotte Proudman seems to be getting a regular article there, now. Every single one is along the lines of how evil men are, how bad women have it, especially, comfortable, middle class, educated, privileged women like her, and how anyone who disagrees with her is a rapist, or evil, or something!

Interestingly though, Julie Bindel is still very much a regular, despite her been a TERF, and a bit wacky.

Well, let's check the color chart.

This is reprehensible. Any misplaced child is just going to say what they think society wants them to say. And how does a stranger know how a child identifies in terms of ethnicity, height or weight?

This is some problematic bullshit, to be sure.

Looking over all 50,000 words of Skepticon policy, I'm thinking that I wouldn't be welcome because I'm not autistic or developmentally disabled. They need to change the name.

Latest Ally Fogg is pretty good IMO: When aversion to victim-blaming becomes a danger

Despite this problematic statement at the begining :

Whatever solutions there may be to reduce sexual violence in society, as a general rule* they do not and should not involve persuading potential victims to change their behaviour.

There are two broad reasons why. The first is factual and criminological, that there is very little evidence that there is any significant relationship between how (usually) women dress, where they go, what they do, how they behave and the prevalence of sexual assault. If there is, it tends to be that the more socially and sexually confident and assertive women are as a gender, the more independent of mind and behaviour they become, the safer they are from sexual assault. The best statistics we have are from the US (and there is no reason to believe the picture in the UK is any different) and they show that over the past 40 years or so, as the social, economic and sexual liberation of women continued apace, rates of rape and sexual violence tumbled. While statistics are impossible to attain, no serious observer would doubt that in countries where women are actively oppressed to the point of being shrouded in burqas and imprisoned in the home, rape is endemic.

I figure I am going to have to do some research on the above and see what falls out. Anyway, you could do worse in reading the rest of the article. Worth it in fact.

Oh, guess who shows up in the comments?

Giliell, professional cynic -Ilk- says

November 5, 2015 at 11:04 pm

The problem with all this advice and the difference to “how to avoid lottery scams” is that it’s patently useless.
I can actually protect my house from burglary and I can actually become aware of scams. In those cases information how to do so is the key. The whole “how not to get raped” information? More than useless. Anybody who thinks that when hearing “dangerous rapist on the loose” women need some extra reminder must think us to be children who must be told to look left and right before crossing the street every single time.
Also, we’re simply left alone with that “advice”.
A while ago a man tried to abduct a woman in my university’s car park. Apparently the same man had attack numerous women on and off campus with water in face “acid attacks” but nobody had given a fuck. But after the attempted abduction we got those warnings with all the trimmings: Don’t walk to the car park alone, always have a male chaperone, especially after dark (this was in December. Dark was all there was). What we didn’t get was increased security. No “if you need to walk to your car alone after 8 pm you can call this number and somebody will walk you there.” Or “there will be security patrolling on this way to the car park (a short walk through a park to a car park off campus) and in the car park”. For me, following their “security advice” would have meant dropping out of college, so thanks for nothing.
Of course I was a “stupid woman who doesn’t follow proper security advice”, ignored their bullshit and finished my term. Thankfully the guy never tried anything again after the failed attempt. But I know that had I become a victim people would be blaming me, including you.
Again, thanks for nothing.

:doh: :o :lol:

The Red Pill Documentary by feminist Cassie Jaye apparently was under attack recently by Manboobz and the usual suspects because apparently some MRAs contributed some funding: So much so apparently she deemed that a statement was necessary.

She says that she was going to interview David Futrelle but after his misogynistic attacks on her she opines that is no longer possible in words to that effect.
