If thou gazest long into the Pit, the Pit will also gaze into thee

... Skepticism can't really to you which of these moral foundations are "better" (if there's even such a thing). They're usually all present to a certain degree in all "traditional" societies, and likely helped the development of the tribal nature of humanity. The question of whether they're all be...

I'll start taking these calls for diversity seriously when I start seeing some resignations from the people making these calls, when they're in environments that are not diverse.

First, I'd like to offer a hug to Karmakin, but only if it's welcomed. I would certainly welcome that hug right now, so I will take it. (Weather didn't turn out as I hoped, so I am unable to do what I had plan for today :( ) So thanks for the hug! :P Lucky for you that hug-stealing is not on the li...

Ali and I are getting married. Soon. That is, if the Polish consulate decides to answer our phone calls so we can get the documents we need. That shit is ridiculous. Poland is part of the Schengen space, she's been living here since 2010, and yet we need a certificate of celibacy (understandable) a...

I used to go to a lot of hockey games.

I'd hear women all the time hollering the nastiest stuff at the players. I doubt this is nearly as gendered one-sided as this video makes it out to be.

[quote="welch"] 3) When the only bathrooms commonly available are gender segregated, you're accepting the issues trans folk have are never going to go away, and if you refuse to consider unisex bathrooms, that you're fine with that problem never ever going away.

Meanwhile #gamergate drama is kicking the fuck off, with the lead harrassers in the drama potentially revealing to a normal non-gg related person that they are responsible for a lot of their own harrassment through sockpuppets.

The SJW obsession with purity forces them to distance themselves from their enemies. When Donald Trump (who's the SJWs' worst nightmare) says anything about Islam in a negative way, the SJWs are terrified of being even remotely associated with him or his ideas. Any criticism of Islam as a whole bec...

There's been a lot of sexual harassment suits lately in the news. So, I thought we need a primer for what sexual harassment is. This video is a good start.

Those morons are utterly incapable of detecting when someone is trolling/taking the piss. Dick Carrier is a prime example.

By the way, I've read the majority of Sarkeesian's masters thesis, and its just like her Tropes vs. Women series. She wrote it about sexist tropes in sci fy and fantasy TV.

This is one of the best opinions pieces I have read on why Trump is popular. My Brother-In-Law lives in Western Virginia.

We live in a white-oriented, white supremacist culture. As a result, whites are inherently racist, have white privilege, and often engage in social transactions that reinforce this universal social ill that’s baked into the social fibers of this country.

We're still allowed to comment on people's look, aren't we? I haven't seen anything nasty posted in the last day or so about Watson or Green. Observations from a vantage point, at most.

I like Rubio can't stand Cruz (not that he can be president anyway, fucking Canadian!) Trump's presidency would be one big yawn. He wouldn't be able to get anything past and if he would elected I believe it would swing congress back the other way enough to just stalemate government. 4 years of Meh....

Greetings all, Predominantly a lurker but have decided to venture tentatively out from the shadows.

Anybody else think that the whole defense of Islamism thing we see coming from the Regressive Left is basically a result of the irrational hate of Dawkins and Harris injected into that culture by the Atheism+ people?

That sounds kind of silly...but is it true?

Even though I have no doubt that Watson is a self absorbed narcissist, I still have a hard time imagining anyone wandering around a bar all night saying, "Don't hit on me guys". Even if she looked like Angelina Jolie, this kind of behavior would be totally repulsive and would illicit the kind of re...

Tumblr always has had a pretty good anti-bullshit community.

There needs to be an acknowledgement that you're not going to defeat the general "goals" of SJW-ism, nor, speaking for myself do I want to. Sexism, racism, etc. are logical biases, lead to poor decisions and just in general are things we want to minimize. Following those biases, however, doesn't ma...

To be fair, the French Revolution, at least parts of it, are pretty close IMO to what a SJW Revolution would look like. Especially the aftermath where the revolutionaries started to eat each other. Can we even consider that the aftermath? I'd say that's an essential part of the whole she-bang. That...

That sounds like a good lineup.

If we're going to fight the SJWs we must make people realize that they might be victims but they're also bullies. Denying their victimhood completely isn't going to be helpful. Sure, when they lie and you can prove it they must be exposed. But quickly dismissing them, and those who support them, as...

The whole issue of the rise of the SJWs is a fascinating phenomenon. For example, why did it happen now? Why did it happen in atheism before most other segments of society?

Actually saying that, let me just say that the same issues exist on the left...all of the SocJus bullshit you see is basically just Rovian red meat politics applied to low-level social issues.

It is part of their culture to grope women; we have to respect that. They probably believe these women are sluts, because they failed to wear a burqa. Who is to say that our own rape culture is superior? The important thing is that we are not seen as Islamophobes. That is worse than victim blaming....

Yeah, pretty amazing. This may finally get some people to notice the incompatibility of 2 positions they've been trying to fiercely hold onto. Not bloodly likely. That said, I have a question. Why?
