Rebecca Watson, founder of Skepchick, admits to being a Skepdick, and enters the sociopathic spectrum via cruelty. Is not this kind of behavior, via the bloom of power, as unbecoming in a female leader, as it is in a male leader?

Where is the original video?

She broadcasts her mentality by immediately labeling herself as an abuser. The game with the handler was to manipulate her into doing ridiculous things, so that she quit. The game with the audience is to get them to laugh at the abuse, and therefore condone it.

Not only is she deliberately cruel, but immature.

I'm wondering about who paid for all the stuff she sent this poor girl to fetch. Was it out of her own pocket? J.T. Eberhard's? Apparently they think that the money entrusted to them is best spent paying for servants. How is that better than an evangelical preacher using donations to buy luxury goods.

Other than your sensationalized title, this has nothing to do with advancing men's rights.

If asking a hired gopher to fetch things, even weird possibly unneeded things, is a sign of psychopathy then I am a psychopath.

Furthermore, I'd embrace such psychopathy, but I guess that's just another sign of it.

Part of the argument hinges on Watson's handler quitting. Was this a paid position? If not, that part of the argument doesn't fly.

I can't be the only one who finds her use of the term "dick" a little... I don't know. Interesting.

"Dick", clearly, is a primarily male term, that she's using in a negative way. Now, I really don't care as it's kind of a stupid thing to be upset over, but, is there a consensus among Feminists on how they feel about primarily female terms being used negatively? Because that seems like something they would complain about.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Good article, basically demonstrating Rebecca Watson appears to have sociopathic tendencies. She enjoys tormenting people.

God, she is so ugly too. And oddly she sounds exactly like Jessica Valenti: really nasally and spoiled.
