Saw this on my twitter feed (retweeted) it deserves a read http://itsjustahobby.wordpress.com/2013 ... s-a-woman/

It sounds familiar.

So [Vacula] and Porter were effectively non-entities at the conference, and were reduced to stirring the shit on twitter, which they could have done at home. We managed to quarantine the little toad without having to do anything at the con itself. By the Divines how obtuse can this man become? Agai...

OT: Shiiiiiiiiieeet~! Has anyone else watched the latest Doctor Who episode? That was one hell of a way to end it. My reaction, almost verbatim, was first a loud "Whuuuaaaaaaat?"

Which is precisely why I am Dilurk here and [redacted] elsewhere. These people are as creepy as the stalkers I have had to deal with under [redacted] elsewhere, I don't need more "fun".

The whole thing looks like they've gone completely insane, This ^. QFT. I find the whole thing quite uncomfortable reading.

The justicar video fiasco I find terribly amusing.

What's happened to FTB? The whole network has gone offline. Was Yemmi's poetry so bad she broke the entire site? or they ran out of money.

Apparently when a woman cheats on a man, it is the man's fault and the man should not only remain in the relationship, but also "put the woman first," forget about his priorities and live his life conforming to what the woman wants?

I will note the Pit is slowing down a bit these days, in terms of comments. As with creationist-bashing forums, I will take it as a good sign. Maybe there's a bit less crazy flying around right now?

It is good reading.

Isn't also that the basis of radfem is that the stereotypical male of female is a social construct. Having transsexuals wanting to be a stereotypical female or male becomes a huge elephant in the room for them I recall reading something SJW-like about transpeople being supportive of binary gender o...

I actually agree with the rad-fems when they're talking about trans people. Saying that you're a woman over and over again does not magically grant you the ability to pass on mitochondrial DNA or otherwise put you in the exact same group. Go have some hormone therapy about it. I get the feeling tha...

And you can partially blame one woman for both Ada and COBOL.

It doesn't matter what happens on the Nugent threads in the end. The publicity raised from the discussion will eventually lead to the saner ones in the middle reaching some agreements and the more radical ones being left behind.
