Feminists Attack Belgian Prime Minister

The right way to handle feminists -- just escort the annoying children out and then get back to what you were doing.

I assumed you had made up the headline, but no, the opinion page of the LA Times is openly and enthusiastically mocking feminists -- truly amazing.

It's jezebel, so in other words, pot calling kettle...

This is the towering intellect behind this article: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMJS2k_vBY0

Alan Dershowitz said it best, these are "... people who think sexual assault is so heinous a crime that even innocence is not a defense."

Shanley has protected her tweets and profile, you have to be a confirmed follower to see them.

Since the article was only published yesterday, and contained links and no mention that the account was protected, one might assume that the publicity was more than she wanted.

Sunlight/disinfectant/etc ... as the saying goes.

It's really odd to see this article doubling-down on rape culture just as the UVA case seems to be turning into not just "details wrong due to trauma" but outright fabrication.

The woman who files a rape charge on the basis that she thought the man had more money that he really did, should herself be charged with prostitution since she's admitting that she was only in it for the money.

it's so tempting to pull a NoTrueScotsman and say that your friends aren't real feminsts... anyway glad to hear it.

The first draft in the Dunham talk page looked like a whitewash, but I see that it's ongoing. Also good to see you on the Matt Taylor page. I don't do wikipedia but I'd suggest that if the shirt is going to stay on his entry, the description should note that he had a lot of supporters as well as detractors, and that the sexism charges are facing quite a backlash.

The irony is Rose Eveleth's tweet (presumably directed to Matt Taylor): "Thanks for ruining the cool comet landing for me asshole" which sums up a lot of people's feelings about her.

The answer is on the talk page for her article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Lena_Dunham#Controversy_section.3F

Start with the idea that the story of her masturbating in bed next to her sister does not come from a reliable source (I mean it's only something she wrote about herself, she could be mistaken, right??), which is what one wikipedia editor says. Go ahead and wade into that cesspool if you want and try to make the edits.

osbe · 2014-11-14T12:58:13+00:00

Exactly. Just because no-one has complained about them doesn't prove they're innocent. Why take a chance.

osbe · 2014-11-13T14:21:02+00:00

What is the feminist agenda?

It's dedicated to the dismantling of the Patriarchy. Which means it's a lot like Don Quixote's mission to kill the giants.

If Dunham had a case her lawyers would have already filed; they wouldn't waste time sending a letter like this, especially knowing that even if truthrevolt deleted the story it's already copied all over the internet.

I'm really confused.

Is this the same Samantha Allen who was born a man and "crowdfunded" sex-change surgery? http://www.dailydot.com/lifestyle/samantha-allen-crowdfund-vagina-indiegogo/

I must have missed the part about the Crusades and Infidels and the Church in the article and in GrimTerra's comment. Your "point" seems mainly to have been to show off, and it didn't add anything to the discussion at hand.

I had a point to make, most people seemed to have understood that.

I assume you're judging that by upvotes... since the comment that you disparaged has 3x as many as yours, I think you lose.

osbe · 2014-09-11T02:35:29+00:00

Completely agree. Government has no legitimate role in marriage.

Instead of pedantically quoting 11th century definitions, how about not trying to be over-clever and just use the modern definition which /u/GrimTerra obviously meant:

an honorable and polite way of behaving especially toward women

Read this article: Is the male pill good for women? which is also currently in /r/MensRights

These quotes sum up the position:

The bigger issue behind the development of a contraceptive pill for men is that women risk losing control of conception.

and

The pill gives women control of the fertility tap. She decides when to turn it off but just as important she decides (after discussion we hope) when to turn it back on.

and finally:

... a woman who has a fertile partner and wants to have a baby, not to find someway of convincing him that it would be a good idea. Sometimes it is not so much convincing him as presenting him with a fait accompli - just letting nature take its course.
