OMFG it's comedy Is it? Come on then - where is the fucking joke in what Ryan says in this lengthy diatribe below? Hm? Where's the joke when she says white men "can rape us" meaning women and minorities as she actually states "beat us and imprison us and make more money than us"? What joke is there, hm? Or this when she says: "I know a lot of great men [who] would be nodding along and they would agree with me and they would say ‘Yes, this is the problem. How can I use my privilege to stop it?' "…

Frankie Boyle is a typical leftie He's certainly on that kind of Left, but typical? That he definitely isn't, whatever else he is. On British Olympic Gold medal winning swimmer, Boyle said: "When she arrived back on the flight she met her boyfriend. Did you see her boyfriend? He was really attractive. He was like a male model. So from that I have deduced that Rebecca Adlington is very dirty." And refused to apologise for it. And this from The Guardian: He has come under fire for his gags about J…

If you don't want to be cherry-picked, it helps not to say stupid things.

Jesus Christ. From the first link (my italics): The GOP can keep a fair number of women voting for their party by arguing that preservation of traditional gender roles is good for women. Many religious and conservative women would absolutely agree with this. The MRA, TRP crowd (those who find unwanted pussy grabbing to be a sign of strength) manages to alienate these women, as well.

From the article: Private school boys complained of a double standard to the paper, saying they would have faced severe punishment for objectifying girls in the same way. One male student said the school knew about the wall of shame for three months but did not care because he said it was "girls doing it to boys", according to The Advertiser. "If we did it, there'd be a massive outcry," he said. "People think girls can't sexually harass guys so (boys) don't think they can talk about it."

The students self-critiquing their toxic masculinity come across as nice, docile, well-brought up boys, who didn't give their parents a minute of worry during the difficult teenage years, if only because they were safely in their rooms.

Good point. Although I would actually argue that it is of some significance that even some followers of Islam feel it necessary to advertise what they see as its feminist credentials.

It seems obvious to me that, 50 years ago, America had considerable economic equality, and a large blue collar middle class because of those Marxist critiques. 50 years ago was the point at which the two decades of global economic supremacy that followed the second world war was starting to come to face its first challenges. By 1949, the US had no competition - Britain was bankrupt and shedding it's imperial dominions; Germany and Japan were smoking holes that had been almost completely destroye…

Is it clearly not satire but instead the serious delusions of a lunatic? I think you may be overlooking the fact that so many leading feminists - often by their own admission - have (or have had) serious mental health issues. They often seem to see it as proof that the system we live in is so inimical to women that it literally drives them insane. The other possibility - that they might actually just be insane - seems not to trouble their fevered brows. Kate Millet lost her mind Betty Freidan lo…

It does sound like a big theme of the book is: technology can replace men That was a big theme in those times.

Well, yes, that's a big part of the risk factor. It's why I mentioned the low wages you might have to accept. Things like storage and maintaining consistent sales through a mix of online and in-person sales or commissions is also a consider time and money sink. Like I said, it's high risk…

I wasn't making the argument that porn causes or incites sexual assault and rape - that's something I just do not believe to be true. But on the other hand, marketing works, advertising works - one some level or other at least. So you can't deny that porn is having some kind of influence on our world experience. The questions are: how much influence is it having and does it matter?

I think that's arguably the case for a lot of women feminists, yes. In fact, it's interesting to compare the access to political power that religion and the Church gave women through most of Christianity up to the end of the 19th century at least.

All her ideas are derived more or less from Marx (German, white European), Engels (another German white European), Foucault (a French white European) and Said (a Palestinian) or from Africans – Cesaire, Fanon, Mudimbe, Mbembe – who studied in France and/or who learned from people like Marx, Foucault, Sartre etc. So the very arguments she’s making are as much a second-hand product of the West and Modernity as the science she claims is anti-Afri…

Well boys and men certainly do say unpleasant things about some of the girls and women they know some of the time, but I fail to see how this is unique to male behaviour or that when girls and women do it this is some form of processing toxic masculinity (and thereby making men the scapegoats for women's wrong-doing)

All relationships and interactions are dynamic, I would say, and so it makes little sense to divide people into anything so crude as an oppressed and an oppressor class - its a paradigm that just doesn't relate to lived reality. But then of course, if one of feminism's real objectives is nothing less than a nihilistic desire to rip up the current social system and start over from scratch I guess reality doesn't have a lot of importance to them.

But the article says: Last night, a prison service source confirmed the women visited the town but insisted it wasn’t unusual for cons to be allowed out under supervision to attend meetings where personal appearances by those involved are mandatory. So it's not like they were on a jolly or anything.

Not really sure why you need to say "If we're being honest," there, but in any case - while you're not exactly wrong - I think you've completely missed the point. Or else you're bringing up a wholly different point that is only tangentially related to the one in the blog in the link.

There is no such thing as women's studies anymore, a discipline that was designed by feminists to attempt to bring the voices and perspectives of women in science, sociology and the like, and to highlight the origins and meaning of women's oppression. Fuck me! Only Julie Bindel could see Patriarchal oppression in the renaming of Women's Studies to Gender Studies. To counter the accusations of man-hating that feminists like me face all the time, ... Anyone who didn't know Bindel would somehow thi…

That paper throws up some interesting comments, doesn't it? I mean, sure, they say: This is not to downplay men’s power in sexualized interactions or deny the gen- dered sexual double standard faced by women ... [Sexual privilege] is a benefit also extended to men who display a hegemonic masculinity (DeSantis 2007; Sweeney 2013). But all the other stuff about class and status and the sexual freedoms enjoyed by the higher class and higher status girls ... that's pretty eye-opening.

That is a feasible situation to be in, where you need to say that someone else did something even though they're around. I've already addressed this in my original comment: If I have to refer to that person while they are there, I would almost always use their name (e.g. I haven't got any sugar, but Jenny might have some). I said "almost always", but that could be extended to "always" - with some care, to be sure. It's easy to consider Xe/Ze and other custom pronouns to be silly ... I think it's…

Your choice, but I'd be very careful about who you say that around.

But if they do have the right qualifications and/or experience for that role ...

One of the things I find frustrating about cases such as this one is that when they are brought up, you will often hear someone say something like: "Oh, but false accusations are incredibly rare - not more than 7% and likely less - the majority are real - and that's why we must listen and believe" Excuse me, but that isn't the fucking point, is it? We don't ruin people's reputations, shame them publicly and send them to fucking jail according to statistics, do we? That's not how the whole innoce…

Wiidecombe's a great British eccentric and as mad as wooden cheese, but every now and then she hits the nail on the head e.g. this bit: Ms Widdecombe said she once had to tell one of the “Blair babes” - one of the 101 women elected to Parliament in 1997 - that men were not being rude to her because she was a woman. “She hadn’t thought [about the men also being rude to each other],” she said. “She had just been roughed up in the Chamber and had assumed it was because she was a woman, when in fact…

Jesus, really? I've heard of that California 3 strikes thing before, but that's just ridiculous. And I say that as someone who often complains that sentencing in my country is absurdly lenient (it often is). For example, a huge 6' 2" guy was going round car parks in one city with a knife and grabbing small women as they went back to their cars. He would then force them to drive around the city, emptying out their bank cards from different ATMs. This guy did this to over a dozen women that the po…

Non-binary pronoun usually means singular they. Sure, but that has been an accepted standard alternative to the clumsy he/she or s/he for at least 2 decades now. It would be used if you are talking about a specific person ... If they are present then it's disrespectful to not abide by their request. Yes, but my entire point in that comment is that I will not actually have a need to refer to them in the third person when they are in the room with me at the same time. The only time I'm going to ne…

I guess you're right. I think that sentence will be appealed quietly somewhere - if she's early 30s now then keeping her in prison into her early 40s would actually deprive her of the possibility of having children of her own. Now I appreciate we are talking about a pedophile here, but even so her fertility rights may well be seen as a separate issue from the crime she committed. And if that's true, then it raises a potentially interesting difference between the treatment of male and female conv…

everyone deserves to have equal rights against harassment and discrimination no matter what you call yourself or what gender/sex you associate with, if any I'm glad you pointed this out as it's something that I agree with very strongly - I am not only not against equal rights and opportunities, but I am actively, even passionately, for them.

This is going to be possibly really quite unpopular to have as an opinion, but ... 14 fucking years? And she has to serve a minimum of 85% of that (11 years and 9 months) before she can even apply for parole? Don't get me wrong - she is a sex offender and the offence was carried out not only on a minor but on a minor who was under her duty of care so she absolutely should see the inside of a jail cell ... but not less than almost 12 years? That seems a hell of a lot considering that even some (I…

Peterson said that if a student asked him to be referred to by a non-binary pronoun, he would not recognize their request: “I don’t recognize another person’s right to determine what pronouns I use to address them. I won’t do it.” Can someone explain something to me? How often are you going to use 3rd person pronouns (like Xe / Xem / Xyr etc.) when the person who wants to be called by them is actually there? It doesn't make any fucking sense - and I don't just mean in the sense that they are inv…

Usually every class there is a video or so that has to do with women. Well, duh! Sorry, was being flip there - I do actually sympathise with your predicament. You have to bite your tongue in ways they just don't regardless of how outrageous what they have to say is.
