TIL: When feminist Susan Brownmiller was asked for evidence supporting her claim that feminist censorship would stop rape, she replied "The statistics will come. We supply the ideology; it's for other people to come up with the statistics."

The ideology does not follow the data. The data follows the ideology. You know what else used to work this way? Alchemy. If experiments didn't follow the assumptions alchemists had, the experiment must be wrong. This is the logic feminism operates on. I wonder if some of them are still looking for the elixir of life.

EvilDog77 · 2018-04-22T08:35:24+00:00

Hahaha, the fucking nerve. How can she say censorship will stop rape when feminists keep changing the definition of rape to include things like saying 'hi' and breathing too loudly?

My sister believes that pornography makes men want to rape.

Now, I know that countries that have a lot of porn - such as Japan - have a low incident of rape. Countries that restrict or ban porno - such as Middle Eastern countries and China have a high incident of rape.

But, she believes that they did a survey where they asked men how much they wanted to rape someone. Then they showed them porno. Then they asked them again how they felt about rape. And a lot of the guys admitted that they suddenly felt more inclined to rape. (or something like that. I really have no idea how else a survey of this kind would work)

If anyone can provide a link, or explain to me how on earth such a survey could possible be conducted, I would be interested to see that!

This is really how feminists always operate. The most evil manifestation of this was in the US in the 90s when feminists were able to get the Violence Against Women Act passed. With that act they made it illegal to even see if any statistics went against their claims.

Spoken like every religious extremist.

Step one: conclusion that aligns with your ideology.

Step two: find or invent data to support that or not even bother because who cares.

averis1 · 2018-04-22T09:52:11+00:00

If I were a REAL victim of rape or serious domestic violence, I'd truly hate feminists like her.

Your neurotic witchhunt and playing word games took away all my credibilty.

Now when I do decide to speak up, people are going to question it.

biff64gc · 2018-04-22T11:04:01+00:00

Sounds like any religion. We'll make science fit our view or it's a conspiracy (patriarchy) against us.

A quote to support the quote "there are lies, damned lies, and statistics". (Attributed to Benjamin Disraeli)

Don't you love how feminists just move the goal post further back when they're backed into a corner and they're faced with accountability.

"So.. where is this evidence you speak of? Surely you've compiled data to back up your claims."

"Well... uhhh.... Here's the thing.... uhh...."

: : : : sweating profusely : : : ;

"It doesn't exist yet."

"The evidence doesn't exist yet.... Shocking.... So in other words you're just spreading propaganda."

What a loser!

PeonSupreme · 2018-04-22T14:39:26+00:00

What they’re really trying to censor — mostly from themselves — is the fact that they are exactly like everyone else in every respect.

It's always interesting when you see people break the 4th wall.

Numbers are like people: torture them enough and they'll tell you want you want to hear.

Numbers don't lie, but neither do giraffes; be wary of what you think you can learn from them.

After all those lies and half truths, is no one else struck by the fresh wind of honesty???

Is anyone able to find a primary source on that quote? The link's citation goes here, which says it's from a Boston Phoenix interview, but there's no further citation, and with that publication closed it's kinda hard to dig deeper.

DaCarlito · 2018-04-22T16:54:40+00:00

Interesting site, however I cannpt find a statistical source for this claim, anybody know where to look?

"One of the great hoaxes of our time is that ["feminism"] has brought great improvements in the representation of women in higher occupations. In reality, women were better represented in many high-level fields half a century ago than today [in 1984]. Back in the 1930s, women received a far higher percentage of the doctoral degrees in mathematics, chemistry, economics and law than in the 1960s. They were far better represented in professional careers in 1940 than 25 years later."

Sociology works by the maxim, 'never trust data unless you falsified it yourself'. But now feminists can't even be bothered making up data to falsify. How much more useless can you get?

It's the classic scenario which came first the moronic feminist or the stats proving that she's moronic.

This supports the Mark Twain quote:

"There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics"

Rethgil · 2018-04-22T22:36:14+00:00

Tldr; 'Feminist claims her feelz are more important than facts'.

This reminds me of a feminist girlfriend of a friend of mine, who claimed the wage gap was real, despite having no evidence or proof of any kind to back up her claim.

"Well", she said, "my feminist mate told me its true, so it must be"...

This is what the Men's Rights Movement is facing.

lookafist · 2018-04-23T09:17:56+00:00

She also said

Does one need scientific methodology in order to conclude that anti female propaganda that permeates out nation's cultural output promotes a climate in which acts of sexual hostility directed against women are not only tolerated but encouraged?

J03SChm03OG · 2018-04-22T17:12:07+00:00

Feminism causes more rape than any other contributing factor. The more men are emasculated and castrated emotionally by feminism and society as a direct result of feminisms control on society the more rape happens. Ironic but irrefutable.

THIS IS REALLY HOW FEMINISTS ALWAYS OPERATE. THE MOST EVIL MANIFESTATION OF THIS WAS IN THE US IN THE 90S WHEN FEMINISTS WERE ABLE TO GET THE VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN ACT PASSED. WITH THAT ACT THEY MADE IT ILLEGAL TO EVEN SEE IF ANY STATISTICS WENT AGAINST THEIR CLAIMS.
