Seriously appreciate your summaries, Aneris. Excellent run down. :)

PS: I was actually glad that not many from the Pit got engaged there because it always derails the conversation by focusing on the fact that they're from the Pit, guilt by association, etc. It was so much better to see Zvan's logic laid bare for anyone to see without being able to claim that 'pitte...

If the tampon has been in far too long, it is probably overly soaked with blood, so as they are flinging it around to quickly put it in the bin, blood flies off the end and onto the walls. As for wiping toilet seats down, that won't get rid of the germs! It just smears them around more, that's all!...

Hi ERV! I'm a big fan!

Isn't this the same as feminist logic, "You've never been there, so you don't know what it's like!"? However, it's even worse than feminist logic, since many of the problems problems today that had supposedly been caused by colonialism and imperialism were in reality caused by the western powers en...

Unrelated to anything, but this is the Pharyngula thread that woke me up, back in 2011, a few months before Elevator-gate. http://web.archive.org/web/20110219112726/http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2011/02/feminist_hypersensitivity_or_m.php The thread where "female" is suddenly a horribly sexist ...

Like the genocidal murders of Native Americans? Are you saying that the problem is just that our cultural ancestors didn't keep murdering them long enough? We should have kept murdering them 'all the way'? Is that what you're getting at? FFS don't encourage it. Can't you take it back to where you f...

Mission: IMPOSSIBLE! Your mission, ffqc, should you choose to accept it, is to find a way to achieve world peace *without* resorting to violence of any kind (except *maybe* perhaps strictly in self-defence, and certainly *not* in 'pre-emptive' defence like fucking Bush/Cheney).

Oh I know. The piss thing is that "hovering" crap, wherein they squat over the toilet seat instead of actually planting ass on porcelain. You rarely see them clean up after themselves. One look at an unvarnished public women's toilet and many men would become gay out of fear of getting close to who...

Well, it will be 4am soon, so go and harass someone waiting for an elevator. Bonus points if they're called Ophelia Benson. No, it's only 1:20am - no elevators in my house, more's the pity.

Most women don't want to sit their bare bums on a seat that strangers have used, so we do a squat position over the toilet and try to maintain that position while aiming one's pee straight into the toilet. Unfortunately, not all women have the greatest aim, plus it's easy to slip while squatting, s...
