Andrew, can you outline the process by which you think we'll get to that point? Is it an "Islam takes over" argument, or something else?
Not an "Islam takes over" argument but a symbolic allusion of what I think is likely to happen when women find their rights effectively rolled back due to economic conditions.

Ask people in the USSR what the difference is between the laws on the books and the economic reality that most people there live in. Or you could ask the Greeks. I am sure you can think of other places.

The laws might be on the books but good luck enforcing them when the economics preclude sustainability.
Okay, we're more or less on the same page, then. Dmitry Orlov and James Howard Kunstler both make this point, even if it's somewhat tangential to their broader argument re the unsustainable current economic order. Once surpluses evaporate and industrial society crumbles, gender egalitarianism is toast.

Van is a control freak. She displays the patterns of behaviour associated with that personality type repeatedly. The only way to deal with a control freak is to deny them any avenue to convince themselves they are still exercising a measure of control.

If it was up to me i'd reply to shufflies absurd "earmarking" dollars, with "thanks but no thanks, toodaloo". CFI of course won't do that, they'll continue to take any money she wants to throw at them, that's what a good business does.

I forgot you had aspergers actually and anyway, "half-joking". The other half is that I do genuinely think you might get some benefit from watching the documentary.
Just finished. Going to review my notes for spelling tomorrow and file them.

It was not bad. Nothing new I am afraid though. Not even this:
49:11 case number called. First reads out she is 37. Pause. He is 37 .. and they all smile.
(*shrug* they are all serious when the victim is female and are amused when the victim is a 37 year old male)
I think they should have spent much more time on the really sad cases of the kids in care.

Good night all. Way past my bed time.

No offence, but that's just the aspergers. They aren't smiling because it turns out they've got the case of a 37 year old man, they're smiling to reassure the woman who made the mistake. It's their way of acknowledging it without seeming hostile.

Glad you liked it anyway.

A subject that never seems to come up in polite conversations within the winter mountaineering community is the effect of prolonged sub-zero temperatures on the male nether regions. Fortunately the, ...erm..., minimizing effect of extreme cold is temporary and everything returns to normal with the return of more typical temperatures, but it can be quite the shock for the new and uninitiated! :o
That reminds of the Seinfeld episode where George is seen naked and gets all upset because they saw him just after he swam in cold water, causing his parts to, erm, minimize. :lol:

I'm sure CFI is just soooo devastated by the dismissal from a bunch of self-serving agenda-driven drama whores who left skepticism a long time ago.

They're trying to punish CFI by cutting off their own noses, and I think that's just hilarious.

I think that Lindsay Sensei has, via a Zen-like Haiku, delivered an accurately targeted meme-grenade into the pathetically useless third, the "B" Ark, the telephone sanitisers, the of the CSI's audience.
The "A Ark" was supposed to contain leaders, the "C Ark" to contain workers, and the "B Ark" to contain annoying dysfunctional parasites.

It is working far better than he could have expected!

Those who thrive on petty selfish power-games rather than actual real-world kind and benevolent empowering of those who deserve such are the exact category of freeloading cancer that he is trying to excise from CFI.

Ron Lindsay: The B Ark is full, and is ready to leave the planet as planned.
Well done, sir.

I don't think menopause means what the author thinks it means. Full bloom in a plant or garden is the time of peak fertility. Menopause in humans is the end of fertility. Pretty much opposites.
You think you have menopause problems?
A friend of ours, an ageless, naturally athletic woman of Central American descent, turned fifty last October. She had a cycle that was so regular that you could plot space missions by it.
At the party held in her honor last Fall she had announced her intention of fucking every single man in attendance. She'd have made good on it too had not Aunt Flo decided to make an unscheduled appearance at the event.

Periods can be a real party pooper.

I've heard some men refer to other men as 'warriors' at a place I used to work. The name referred to men who were willing to fuck a woman while she is on the rag. I've been told that some even prefer it due to things being extra lubed when Aunt Flo is flowing.

Yeah, I know. TMI. :D

Not necessarily, there are other ways to thread the needle. Personally, I'm fan of downward adjusting the work week in order to maintain full employment, along with subsidized housing/food/information (basically a computer and an internet connection) in order to maintain order in an increasingly under-worked world.

I think it's built into the "pill".

The reality is that there's a problem with the entire memespace. It's based upon the notion that ALL women act/think in a certain fashion, which in reality is deeply sexist. Even though I think she's gone a bit off the deep end it seems, I can't blame WB but too much for getting really fucking pissed about the gaining traction of this memespace. It's the same reason that people get really fucking pissed at the gender feminists, who treat men the same way.

I understand the notion and I agree with the idea that there are some traditionally female cultural traits that are aggravating. But those traits are FAR from universal. I'm married to a women who hates those traits as well. I have female co-workers who hate those traits. It's NOT universal, and I think that's the point of contention here.

Let's make it clear, by technical definition, neither Pharyngula nor Slymepit are represent hate groups, since neither are engaged in racial, ethnic, religious, sexual orientation, or gender hatred (the last in spite of what Myers dearly attempts to portray). Even if you go so far as to characterize Slymepit as "anti-feminist" (which it isn't), that doesn't constitute a hate group. As everyone knows, Myers has recently stooped to characterizing Slymepit as a "hate site." "Hate site" doesn't appear to have a technical definition, though the implication, blatantly dishonest as it is, is that a hate site is the website of a hate group.

As I commented on EBW's resignation from Secular Women post:
If Slymepit is a hate site, then surely Pharyngula is a hate site as well, and PZ, it’s all your baby. Remember, you’re the one who created, nurtured and encouraged it. In the immortal words of David Silverman, own it.
If by "hate site" it is meant a website engaged in internecine war with another ideological group, then Pharyngula is as much a hate site as Slymepit could possibly be.

Pretty much. Although if you run through the comments you will see some cover it up with overt hostility, or a condescenting "I have revealed truth" evangelism.

And whatever legitimate gripes they have get swallowed up in self-pity masquerading as rugged individualism.

They've got the worst sort of ideology: One that takes all their shortcomings and blames them on the game being rigged by an external force. What happens is that they turn into a bunch of anti-social gender separatists drinking soothing Kool-Aid that ensures they never have to address those shortcomings.

The only thing that I have noticed is that the vagina is noticably warmer than usual.
And a little less "effectively" lubricated, (not more, as you seem to suggest), as the watery plasma exudate flushes away the natural saponic smegma lubricant.
TMI?

Oh, and props the EBW for activating her skeptical radar.

It funny, if FTB/ skepchick occasionally found some discrimination or misogyny in the secular movement, you might think 'yeah thats possible'.

However the pattern is now CLEAR, they find misogyny driven by white male bearded privilege under EVERY rock they look under!
Every single place they look its run by backward, evil,hateful, discriminating, clueless misogynistic haters.

It really is difficult to reconcile that with reality. Further their ability to histrionically turn any mild disagreement into defcom 5 level mudslinging is unparalleled.

However I'm now well past the point where I took any of this seriously, now I just find myself putting my feet up and getting the popcorn in :-)

Yeah. The MGTOW movement we're talking about really could be called honest-to-goodness misogyny. That's what misogyny looks like.

They need to learn they're not being criticized because they're women. They're being criticized because people think that they're whiny, self-entitled, projecting bigots.

Agreed. WBB went off in the land of the stupid, but I would blame the initial push that sent her over the edge on being pecked by MGTOW.

They are simply annoying as all hell.

Of course, you point out to a MGTOW that their generalizing from some carefully chosen examples to all women and that they are all programed that way is wrong, and they will jump all over you yelling "NAWALT! NAWALT!" As if claiming that not all women fit their cherry-picked model automatically makes you a radfem stooge.

Not only was WBB faced with this group gaining traction, but the thing I got out of that recorded conversation between her and Elam, was his coming right out and saying that as he is a MGTOW himself, then MGTOW are off limits.

Which is what Elam did with me, making the very, very flawed assumption that because I agree with him on some things that therefore I pledged fealty to his narrow ideology.

hmmm I wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that I run warmer than most people, (I'm often in just a tee-shirt when others are wearing a jacket) but the thought of warm, or hot air from a heating duct blowing on my pussy sounds absolutely miserable. Give me cool or chilled air. Give me a spray bottle filled with water and sit me in front of a fan, or even better what they call a "swamp cooler" (such a perfectly named device for what I would use it for). I have a lot of privacy in my garden, and I love to sit outside without trousers in the cool, foggy air.
You MUST visit me here in Canada in the winter. My balcony is not only extra windy, it's also one where no one can see that you are nude unless you are standing at the front edge of it. Hmm, winter vag-cooling party for chill girls?

Yeah, I know. TMI. :D
Ugh. I have never being able to imagine myself as a sexual being while bleeding like a stabbed victim.
I even hate walking while on my period. The feeling of clots going doing is extremely uncomfortable to me.
That said, my periods right now are not that bad. My sis has some fibroids and is like a massacre whenever she's bleeding.
She's scheduled for an hysterectomy next month. No Fluevogs involved.

My brief perusings show that FtB is still pretending that AA being sued for racism didn't happen, except for Ashley Miller praising them for how they handled the situation.

Hey, a black woman sues an organization for racism, and an article shows that the organization seemed to mistreat another black woman. But that's not really a problem, you see - the bigger problem is that CFI's statement didn't contain an apology. That's a real problem.

Fucking racists.

One time I did a Skype call with an AVfM editor and others when they were working on this crap-tastic radio show that they were working on, which was excruciating because they intended to pretty much script an hour of banter. It was like sitting around with a bunch of nerds planning their Comic-Con play. It never got anywhere because their micromanagement sucked the life out of the project. And what did air was embarrassing.

Anyway, I forgot to turn my camera off and one made the comment that I was in too good a shape to be one of them. Which is, of course, relatively speaking. He was officially joking, but there does seem something to this "I play real men on the internet thing"

Which makes me wonder if all the troubles with Atheism Plus and MGTOW is just a case of fuckless fat neckbeards coming home to crush the roost.

I only point this out because I just now finished watching the episode of Big Bang Theory that made a big deal of it, but defcon 5 is actually the lowest state of emergency. Defcon 1 is what you meant.

Basically they are questioning Ed Clint's real interest on disclosing the information.
So, according to these shitheads rationale:

2) writing about a lawsuit involving accusations of racism and sexism = bad

I think it's built into the "pill".

The reality is that there's a problem with the entire memespace. It's based upon the notion that ALL women act/think in a certain fashion, which in reality is deeply sexist. Even though I think she's gone a bit off the deep end it seems, I can't blame WB but too much for getting really fucking pissed about the gaining traction of this memespace. It's the same reason that people get really fucking pissed at the gender feminists, who treat men the same way.

I understand the notion and I agree with the idea that there are some traditionally female cultural traits that are aggravating. But those traits are FAR from universal. I'm married to a women who hates those traits as well. I have female co-workers who hate those traits. It's NOT universal, and I think that's the point of contention here.
Agreed. WBB went off in the land of the stupid, but I would blame the initial push that sent her over the edge on being pecked by MGTOW.

They are simply annoying as all hell.

Of course, you point out to a MGTOW that their generalizing from some carefully chosen examples to all women and that they are all programed that way is wrong, and they will jump all over you yelling "NAWALT! NAWALT!" As if claiming that not all women fit their cherry-picked model automatically makes you a radfem stooge.

Not only was WBB faced with this group gaining traction, but the thing I got out of that recorded conversation between her and Elam, was his coming right out and saying that as he is a MGTOW himself, then MGTOW are off limits.

Which is what Elam did with me, making the very, very flawed assumption that because I agree with him on some things that therefore I pledged fealty to his narrow ideology.
To be honest, years ago when you met a MRA in the wild, chances are that he was a MGTOW (even if there wasn't a term for that as of yet). The MRA movement is built upon MGTOW feelz, or at least it's always looked that way to me. It's one of the big reasons why I still have a lot of negative associations to that label.

Hell yes I read them and they piss me off too. They don't even seem to care if the allegations are true, but that Ed Clint, he didn't track down some loser in Kentucky to talk to before writing something on his blog, so he's a bad journalist! Nevermind that he's not a journalist at all and he didn't actually get the facts wrong. The real issue isn't AA's treament of black people, it's Ed Clint's reporting.

Fortunately the, ...erm..., minimizing effect of extreme cold is temporary and everything returns to normal with the return of more typical temperatures, but it can be quite the shock for the new and uninitiated! :o
That reminds of the Seinfeld episode where George is seen naked and gets all upset because they saw him just after he swam in cold water, causing his parts to, erm, minimize. :lol:
Indeed! Funny episode! It can be much worse in extreme conditions, though. I recall on a particularly cold climb having to answer to nature's call and having a 'where did it go?' moment! :shock:

I also support a downward adjustment of the work week in such circumstances, and, as a USAian, would add subsidized medical care to the list. Unfortunately, in the context of academia, a downward adjustment of the work week would seem to benefit the university and administration, not the faculy. IOW the university can use the principle to reduce salaries and benefits, but effectively the work week is not reduced. There is a definite trend towards monetizing every aspect of academic instructor/lecturer/professor positions, and adjusting salaries accordingly. X amount of pay for Y contact hours with students, Z% increase for authorship on a paper in a W impact factor journal, multiplier N for directorships of courses with M+ student enrollment, etc. My observations on the initial implementation of these rules support my suspicions that they're simply a way for the university to cut salaries and cover their ass legally. They have to cut something, because federal research funding has decreased, and research faculty cover less (in many cases none) of their salaries on grants. On the other hand, student enrollment continues to increase, and that's tied directly to money from the state. So effectively, for many of us the work week is longer, but the pay stays the same. I would happily take a cut in pay, in return for a 40- or 50-hr work week, measured by actual work hours (not the department's inane and grossly unfair accounting).

That sounds great, but energy is not the same thing as technology. You can have all the computers you want and when the lights go out and the transportation grid crashes they're just going to be very expensive bookends.
It's in argument based on the future of global energy production - a subject in which I spent the last few years immersed (which must be why I'm so much fun at parties).

YouTube blocked it, even though it is a private link, however, if I am signed in as me, I can watch it.

I'd like to be able to access the video without being signed in with my Google account. If one needs to be logged in to access it, but the login does not require the password to my main Gmail account, that is just fine.

Vimeo?

Any other recommendations?
Google Drive might work for you. It's basically a small hard drive. If the video is short, and the filesize is manageable - you could just download it wherever you're logged in and play it locally.

Sorry if this isn't that helpful.

The only thing that I have noticed is that the vagina is noticably warmer than usual.
And a little less "effectively" lubricated, (not more, as you seem to suggest), as the watery plasma exudate flushes away the natural saponic smegma lubricant.
TMI?

Oh, and props the EBW for activating her skeptical radar.
Not TMI. Interesting. Maybe the 'warriors' prefer the friction of less lube. Also interesting is that it's warmer. I did not know that.

I get the impression that Skepticon is run by the "cool kids" for their own entertainment, and that the invited speakers milk the "free student-organized conference" thing for all it's worth, in moral superiority and social justice points. Not all students are impoverished and idealistic, and not all student-organized activities are worthy and selfless. I'm not saying that Skepticon is a bad thing or that its organizers are horrible people - it's just that the FtB speakers in particular push awfully hard on the student-grassroots-free conference-social justice propaganda.

I don't think menopause means what the author thinks it means. Full bloom in a plant or garden is the time of peak fertility. Menopause in humans is the end of fertility. Pretty much opposites.
You think you have menopause problems?
A friend of ours, an ageless, naturally athletic woman of Central American descent, turned fifty last October. She had a cycle that was so regular that you could plot space missions by it.
At the party held in her honor last Fall she had announced her intention of fucking every single man in attendance. She'd have made good on it too had not Aunt Flo decided to make an unscheduled appearance at the event.
Her husband's reaction was discretely ambivalent but the lady in question did not see the humor in this development.
Periods can be a real party pooper.

It's in argument based on the future of global energy production - a subject in which I spent the last few years immersed (which must be why I'm so much fun at parties).
Do tell! This is a subject of (presently) academic interest to me, mostly because I expect very real world repercussions in the not-so-distant future.
Can you be a bit more specific? I ask out of a sense of the public good. If you just launch me off on the subject un-focussed, I'll make Steersman look succinct.

And so the skeptical movement breaks into two camps. On the one side you have people who do skepticism, on the other you have people recreating high school while they inadvertently make reservations for detox.

I expect that it is a trifle too succinct (and anti-Steersman/Cyber-nought) to pass muster.

If you look at the history of speakers, you will see that Paul Meyers & Richard Carrier were the first two.

Hey! Don't be such a Debbie-Downer!
Dickie Feynman was vitally interested in the energy budget of this rocky orb, and was a riotous 'hit' at parties!
And he did not need to flash his Prix de kNobel to 'get' the action!

I did not know that. The Pit is sometimes quite educational. :think:

Nope... works for me. Just a quick tug and the shriveled pink dead slug looking thing comes back to life. If your on your own a tug and a helicopter spin works too.

I've heard it can shrivel right in...but I don't believe that.

My partner went through a time when she felt particularly randy on the first day of her period. Her libido is all over the place ( something to do with depression) so I go with the...ummm, roll with it when it comes my way (no puns intended). Agree that it feels hotter (temp).

I remember feeling awful the first time I looked down and saw my cock covered in blood. Took a while to get over that vision...
