Tan, read what I wrote. Let me quote the whole thing, and I'll highlight (In bold) all the times I reference the problem is themass media sites. Since the Quin posts in this thread, I've been talking about how debateoutside mainstream media, combined with a dissonance of viewsin the...

lol.

"So now that women don't need men to reproduce and refinance, the question is, will we keep you around? And the answer is, 'You know we need you in the way we need ice cream - you'll be more ornamental.'--Dowd. So, feminism IS misandric overall? But just not those quotes. Okay, I get it now...

Looks to me like he sunk concrete foundations and bolted the posts to it with corner braces.

I know, I'm the one who illustrated it's sexism earlier. I was talking about using the evidence of a radical community to justify a statement. (Also, kind of proves the MRA's should be fed up with being called misogynistic, no? When it's obvious that even their more outlandish rhetoric is just...

"Men have no idea how much women hate them"--Absolutely true. Most men have no idea how much women hate them, but after reading a bunch of rad fem sites advocating the gender genocide of men, I'm starting to get a pretty good idea! I'm not even sure if you're trying to be satirical here; I...

She is engaging in a bit of semantics. Misandry involves the hatred of men; attribution of negative traits based purely on the premise of physical characteristic (Of gender) is just plain oldsexism. Tedious, I know.

Since the Quin posts in this thread, I've been talking about how debate outside mainstream media, combined with a dissonance of views in the mainstream (IE illustrating some kind of bias), leads to this kind of "mob mentality" (As people with legitimate criticisms or who have even had major...

I wouldn't go that far. He hasn't involved two sons in a dive racket, and pushed one until he developed neurological disorders from having outmatched opponents pounding him. Ray's not father of the year, but everything we know about Mickey paints him as leagues worse (Both because of the stuff...

I'm not even sure if you're arguing with me anymore, or just quoting my posts and arguing with everyone else. Also, I never said she should be cavalier about death threats. The only thing I said was that death threats are a problem across the industry--and the difference in coverage creates a...

Four things Tan. First, this line essentially proves what I was discussing in my post. You've threatened me with the sexist "stereotype" if I critique your study (If you were responding to me specifically); effectively putting me in the "them" category. Even if I have legitimate concerns, or...

No, views that are based on examples either illustrated dishonestly or completely taken out of context are illegitimate (So, in essence, I was saying context was extremely important, both for me--and the views I critique.). I gave you an example of one of the views I consider illegitimate; are...

It's a mix, just like any youtube critic. She has legitimate views, somewhat biased views and then completely out of context, purposely biased views. I'd be committing the same BS as her if I grouped ALL of her messages as garbage, just because of a fewegregiousanecdotes--she...

Yeah, that episode hits close to home for anyone with a family member who feels entitled to the world, yet acts like an absolute piece of shit when it comes time for them to step to the plate. Essentially it's precisely what having Irish family members is like (At least in my experience). It so...

So Terrorism would be bringing a plane down.John Smedley'splane was literally brought down from a hacker group targeting him and Sony because of business decisions they were making. But somehow, you believe men do not receive attention on this scale (Despite the fact that even one of your...

I really think there will be more to this story, or I hope so. If they've literally locked someone up due to work of fiction, that is absolutely 100% outrageous. A lot of works of fictions have school shootings, Empire Falls, for fuck sake even Glee had a school shooting. There has to be more to...

This is why I usually don't start watching shows until they are in their third season. Fuck cliff hangers.

Got Shitlord as well. hah, then I answered terrible in all categories but being white, human, male and straight--and still got privileged, 75. I guess a fat, short, disabled minimum wage worker is very privileged as long as he's straight and doesn't believe he's a fucking owlkin.

This is why we have DA's Judges and Juries. Multiple steps in the legal system to apply the law based on circumstance. People tend to view laws as absolutes, but there is a lot of wiggle room in the court system just for these kinds of variables. That's a good and bad thing, but I think overall...

I don't think I'd convict of murder, but voluntary manslaughter, yes. As far as I know, voluntary manslaughter in most states counts for things like catching someone in bed with your wife (And killing him right there, in the resulting fight) or molesting/raping a family member ect. I'd think...

He's saying that quick posting only correlates to butthurt--there is no statistical causation. Hence you abandoned your need for causal evidence in one post.

I'd love to see citations on this. I'm curious how they would control for factors like selection bias? As in, if they merely studied unmarried vs married; and saw the married men were in better health...Then couldn't it just be argued that the married men were always in better health and that is...

I don't disagree with you about going over the line. I said it before, I consider the mob actions deplorable and I find it sad because a decent issue for discussion is getting buried by them. That issue being--we can't hold women to different standards. A Journalist shouldn't look at a claim by...

So, Tan. After reading more on the "Quinspiracy"--here is my conclusion thus far. 1. (Pre-conspiracy) ) This entire debacle started because of 3 posts (Yes, 3) on an obscure, anon, message board--with men who are self proclaimed Sean clones (People with extreme social anxiety who can't talk...

It's a complex question; literally everything changes from the root of the issue, to the stem. For example, a man would have had plenty of articles inmainstreamsites exposing him for conflicts of interest (Especially if he was fucking his boss), but probably not from 4chan or mob sites (I'll...

Hard to comment on the Zoe Quinn thing, lots of bullshit surrounding it (Not sure if the Chans are just annoyed the game sites aren't caving and so are taking "bad" personal details to character assassinate her OR if she is a truly shitty person who hides behind "zomg misogyny!" when she is...

That's her. LOL, this has to be a joke blog...right?

Question...wtf does weapon attack speed do in the game, if most weapons are locked by the GCD? So, like what is the difference between a 1.4 speed dagger vs a 2.0 speed sword? I haven't parsed anything yet; heh, don't want to get too deep into the number crunching like I was in WoW/EQ until I...

Most effecient=/=perfect. Plenty of flaws in humans that makeaspectsof their design just bad. HOWEVER, that doesn't mean they aren't better designed than all their competitors, within this particular competition (Note: The competition dictates the supremacy of design, not some arbitrary metric)...

The problem is, the "dark ages" are really misunderstood--it's also a very European view of history. All through the middle east, amazing advances in math and literacy were being made. In Asia, the Chinese were using rockets already. The main issue with the "dark ages" was pretty much the...

I love it when people say this; like humans are just physical cripples. The human body is probably the most efficient warm blooded body on the planet. Between sweating, bipedal locomotion and a few other advances, there really isn't a piece of prey that can outlast us. Also, because of our...

It's not on the same level; the internet is a vastly superior achievement to both those things. I will go so far as to say it's the single greatest achievement of mankind thus far. Information is power is not just a cliche; it's the truth. And we've made endless information available to everyone...

There is no evidence we are dumber; in fact, on the surface, there is a lot of evidence we are vastly more intelligence (The Flynn Effect). But mostly that 'effect" is from our more modern perceptions and our increased cognitive breadth due to more access to information. So, all in all, the vast...

It is disturbing, but for different reasons for me. It disturbs me because in society we focus nearly all of our attention on "stranger danger" and other silly stuff. To the point where we don't allow men without kids in some parks, or men to sit on planes next to children and other just absurd...

But, from what I understand, "Church staff" also means teachers and workers employed by the church (Don't forget, the Catholic school system is fairly massive). So the actual rate among priests, Bishops and the typical people you see actually associated with the abuse is much lower than 1 in 50...

That one in fifty quote was a fabrication, pretty much. The Vatican denied it, and the "interview" was not an actual interview (Just a conversation) and there was no transcription of the conversation. The actual numbers, from a survey the Catholic church paid for (If I recall correctly) put the...

Everymajornewsoutlethas said thesamething. Let me pull the relevant section for you. (RT) At the time of the strike, witnesses reporteddozens of people including children gathered around the gate trading with street vendors, when a missilestruck some 8-10 meters from the gate. Witnesses also...

This wasn't what happened, though. Ironically, Israel was probably following your advice. They were not targeting a launch "site" but rather they had tracked people who set the rocket up, probably with a drone (Which they've been using now specifically to avoid having to retaliate to launch...
