If Reason Rally is turning off the the FTBullies then it's very much on the right track.

Will you all please stop referring to Ross Douthat's opinion piece as a NYT article? Yes, Doofhat has a regular column in the NYT as their pet conservative. But as a columnist, the NYT exercises no editorial control over what he writes and his is an opinion piece, not tied down by the need for facts, which is fortunate because Doofhat wouldnt know a fact if one bit him on the ass while dressed in a fact-suit, doing a fact-dance while singing "Im a little fact . . .

German woman who was nearly raped by a Kurdish migrant doesn't exactly feel 'safe' posting about her experiences on a feminist blog:

• 35 minutes ago

Ok, so till the Cologne sexual assault thread I was thinking that people are blowing this out of proportion but I guess that changed my view about how safe or unsafe this commenting space is somewhat. I wouldn't say I am afraid to post here now but I got pretty upset by how some of that went and thought "Why am I even doing this to myself" several times. I mean, I don't think it was unsafe to post but it was just really unpleasant and while this is not exactly a fun blog I don't know why posting here should be a chore - and it was one. I definitely need some time away from certain topics now.

In a so-called 'safe space'. It's only safe for people who toe the party line. Anyone else can go fuck themselves, 'lived experience' be damned.

Is it fatphobic to say that one personally would like to lose weight or is happy for having lost weight themselves? (Is being happy about getting into college or completing one's degree shaming and phobic towards people who for one reason or another chose not to attend college?) We can have different personal goals and celebrate whatever achievements we work hard for - and that doesn't have to be a slight against someone who does not share that goal.

"One" does not exist in a vacuum outside of a fatphobic society. You cannot separate wanting to "personally" lose weight from a fatphobic society in which fat is bad and thin is good, and most of the time? Yeah, you do contribute to diet culture. You contribute to the myth that weight loss is possible for the vast majority of people (it's not) and you likely contribute to stereotypes about fat people (Weight loss will make you healthier! You'll have better relationships people if you get thinner! I have to lose weight because I can't do (fitness thing) and the weight loss causes me to be able to do (fitness thing) not increasing my strength/flexibility/stamina).

I will NEVER celebrate weight loss. It is NOT a goood thing. Nor it is a bad thing. Weight loss or gain is not a moral issue. And I will not celebrate a toxic culture that tells people they should try to do something probably very risky to their health that is impossible for most people, and that they're bad for not doing it. I will never celebrate a toxic culture that kills people.

This is the only response you're getting from me. I'm not going to debate Fat Acceptance 101 with you. You can research Fat Acceptance 101 for this crap

Clogged arteries are just a social construct.

Yeah.

That Michael Busch male feminist told Lila that 'transwomen are not a threat to anyone', and then later, in the Cologne thread, in an effort to exonerate the goatfuckers, he said that all people, including the 'non-binary', are capable of rape.

I would have pointed it out, but I probably would have been banned for the offense.

Personal Question. Won't bother me if you skip it.

My wife came over to see the kids. It was only the second time this week. She got here at 11:30 and took a shower for about 30 minutes. After that she started coloring.

I didn't have any issues with that but after awhile I noticed she really wasn't talking to the kids, just coloring. I made a comment about it and she got pissed and stormed out. All in all the kids got to see her for about an hour.

I think she is being really unfair to the kids. Thoughts?

Unhappy with the refugee situation in their town, the folks of Landshut in Bavaria decided to send Chancellor Angela Merkel a message in the form of a busload of refugees. As many as 31 Syrian migrants were transported to Merkel's office as the town's way of protesting against her open-door refugee policy.

Landshut mayor Peter Dreier organised the seven-hour journey to the Chancellery, calling it "an act of desperation". Residents too warned him "it's time we set a limit".

"We are trying to help these people integrate. But that won't work if this year we face another wave of one million, or even more," Dreier added. "I think that we have to ensure the humane treatment of these refugees," Dreier told Reuters upon his arrival in Berlin. "On this scale and within such a short time we simply can't guarantee that anymore."

Apparently it was not one but two trans who were stoned:

Leads to this article: http://www.metropolico.org/2016/01/16/s ... -dortmund/

English translation:

First, the three known to police youth had felt the two women as attractive. But as soon as the several times for assault and theft arrested North Africans had realized that they had to actually do it with transsexual men, they pushed this initially wildly, as SAT1 NRW reported. They should have felt offended by the representation of victims in their "honor". Then, the death sentence was: "you would be stoned whores", declared the three.

Well this should be interesting.

Are Islamic refugees more oppressed than transgender persons?

So far we know that black folk are more oppressed than Danielle Muscato.

Muslims are quickly becoming the most oppressed group of people in the world in SJW circles.

After all a POC cricketer can be banned from all cricket competitions because he dared to flirt with a white female journalist on TV, while a crowd of Muslims can harass and rape dozens of women and the SJWs will still refuse to blame them for what they did. They will even apologize for their rapes and imply that the women, being white in a white country, were just a way for the crowd to fight agains the injustices of "white supremacy", albeit in a wrong way.

White cis het "Westerner" men must be punished for jokes, shirts, flirting, video games.

Muslims can rape, harass, kill, stalk, violate women's rights, violated LGBT rights, justify rape, sexual slavery and murder for adultery, and the SJWs will still find a way to deflect the blame for their actions on "white patriarchy" or say that "whites are equally as bad".

#NotAllMen is "derailing", #NotAllMuslims is "fighting oppression".

The double standards of the SJWs are ridiculously insane. If Neil deGrasse Tyson makes a joke about women's underwear he's a gross misogynist, even you can't explain why. If a Muslim rapes a white woman he's unloading his frustration at having suffered suffered oppression under white supremacy and whites are just as bad.

This is what really disgusts me of the SJWs. All of their values, all of their ideas, go against Islamists ideas. If SJWs were really interested in defending women and LGBT people they'd criticze Muslims, support the heavy policing and vetting of Muslim immigrants, and fight off any Muslim invasion of public life.

Atheist SJWs would focus on Islam in pretty much every article. Feminist leaders would support calls for the liberation of Muslim women and would ask people to teach Muslim men not to rape. LGBT activists would organize gay prides in Muslim communities, and they'd ask Twitter to ban all the ISIS supporters. Feminist documetaries would focus not on inconseuential trivia like video games but on the abuses of women in Islam. Feminist thought leaders would write books on the Muslim rape culture, on Muslim misogyny, while LGBT leader would focus on Muslim homophobia.

However it's clear that SJWs are all about showing how virtuous they are. They support Islam because it's the "underdog" against "white supremacy". They don't care about the women, LGBT people and ex-Muslim that they throw under the bus.

Keating wrote: The people I know in Australia's immigration department repeatedly tell me that there's plenty of evidence that many, if not most, irregular maritime arrivals are obviously coached about what to do and say when they reach Australia in order to game our legal system. We can more often than not work out exactly who someone is, even if they've destroyed their documentation. More often then you'd think, they're some fuck who's repeatedly tried to claim asylum and been deported from the UK or the US, and have lived in many safe countries. Some even openly admit they're saying what they're saying because they've been told it's the best way to get through our legal system. Australia's privacy laws are the main reason this doesn't become mainstream news; releasing that information to the news media is considered doxxing.

Getting into a country that doesn't bother to check must be even simpler.

The guy who recently an heroed in Paris with a fake explosive vest had apparently requested asylum in several countries under different IDs:

http://www.dw.com/en/mystery-surrounds- ... a-18971436

Who was the suspected Islamist attacker shot and killed by French police last week as he ran up to a Paris police station, wearing a fake explosives vest and wielding a butcher's knife?

According to the North Rhine-Westphalian State Office of Criminal Investigation (LKA), the man lived in a refugee shelter in the western German town of Recklinghausen last year, and was apparently known under several identities across Europe.

How can the man have sought asylum in different states, used at least seven identities, and not raised alarm bells?

"It's a mystery how he could have done that," Karl Kopp of Germany's Pro Asyl group told DW. After all, states are obligated to take the refugees' fingerprints,and file them in the Eurodac database when they register the asylum seekers.

But Kopp conceded the situation was very chaotic last year. "Even though the data may in fact be there, the authorities seem not to know how to use them."

According to German authorities, the attacker had lived illegally in France for five years, and had been traveling around Europe since 2011, requesting asylum in several countries. Faced with deportation, he would disappear and move on. In January 2014, the man came to Recklinghausen, where he requested asylum. He is said to have entered Germany for the first time in 2013.

Wow... shit. Sorry to hear this. Your wife is clearly not a very good parent. She is not alone. Lots of people are unskilled and should really just stick with having goldfish or something like that. Dedicated parents need to see their kids almost everyday.... perhaps just to color with them...but twice w week is odd. Does she have them on the weekend or something? Do you have full custody... I assume you do.

My wife had many long bouts of depression when the kids where young. She also has fibromyalgia, so there were periods where I spent all my time taking care of her and the kids when I was not at work. We stayed together, and I know she loves me and the kids like nothing else. Still, when she was depressed I couldn't make the slightest suggestion that she get out of bed and help. She would lash out and then sink into despair.... sometimes spending 24 hours in bed imagining how she would kill herself. I resolved to just plug along and it worked.

We always kept our problems away from the kids. I think this is the right approach. Especially little kids can't help adults with their problems. Everything with the kids needs to be age appropriate. As the kids got older we talked more about my wife's problems. They had no idea anything was wrong when they where 10. Kids need to feel 100% safe with their parents. They need to feel that mom and dad will always be strong and be able to take care of them.

So... my suggestion is to let your wife find the right way to relate with your kids. She will never accept your opinion and your fighting with her is worse for the kids. You need to be the strong and reliable parent. You can succeed at this and your kids will be fine.

I am not a therapist and my advice could be completely wrong and you are free to ignore everything I wrote.

I got a post on my fb feed where some blog was reporting on how people were "outraged" by Emma Watson's tribute to Alan Rickman. If you've already guessed this has something to do with feminism being shoved somewhere it doesn't belong, then you are correct:

I'm not enraged. I'm not a movie buff and I couldn't have told you who played Snape in the Harry Potter movies (that I mostly didn't watch) until he died. But I do find it really telling when someone who presumably had a personal relationship with him uses his death as an opportunity to promote an ideology. Stay classy Emma.

I'm just a guest who you won't read, but while your wife and you have a zillion issues, and she probably has many regarding the kids, it might be enough for the kids just to have her in the room with them.

I'm not saying you need to put up with her bullshit, but short of her ignoring the kids outright or insulting or harming them, they may just be happy to see mom show up now and then. That might be all they will get for now.

But mostly, don't do anything she can use against you in court: "I came over, and he started a fight with me so I was forced to leave". As soon as she brings that up, you lose, if only because of the waste of money for the lawyer to pick that all apart and defend it.

At any rate, best wishes.

I assume you do.

Thanks for that. No the kids are with me 24/7. She will come and get them from time to time but normal is just seeing them here about twice a week for about 4 hours total.

This is the main issue we have with one another now. Like today. I was told "this can't work" and I "am not allowed to tell her how to spent time with the kids". If she saw them more often I would have not said anything. I just felt that with how little they get to see her, them all coloring in silence wasn't the best use of the time.

In Emma's defense, that tweet came right after a tweet of hers to a facebook post where she had expressed a her sadness and gratitude over her friendship with Rickman. HOWEVER, that FB page was actually pretty short. It wouldn't have killed her to repost the sentiments themselves on twitter. So yea, atrocious timing at the least.

25 year old Emma Watson strikes me as much more naive and far more cloistered than the character she portrayed. A bit full of herself. Well, she is 25, and surrounded by the world telling her even her farts are feminist treasures.

I think I would feel very frustrated if I where you.... but what's to do? I imagine it is really hard to be a single parent... and there are more and more men taking on this role. Your wife must have lots of problems.... and she probably can't really help herself at this point in her life. Maybe stopping by to color for a while is okay right now. Still... sorry to hear about your troubles. Things should be better for you than this. I could go into the whole "life is not fair" discussion, but this is really boring, and everyone knows this already. Good luck.

I'm not enraged. I'm not a movie buff and I couldn't have told you who played Snape in the Harry Potter movies (that I mostly didn't watch) until he died. But I do find it really telling when someone who presumably had a personal relationship with him uses his death as an opportunity to promote an ideology. Stay classy Emma.

That was a big meh on my part. If it's something he said then it's something he said.

Yes, I'm expecting them to somehow "miss" this story. I only found it because I frequent a "right wing" blog. "Right wing" because it's critical of Islam and SJWs.

I don't know where I'd go to shove this in SJW faces, guess I need to get one of Disqus things with a burner email or maybe a Facebook or Twitter

I've never actually trolled, I've thought about it lots, but I just can't seem to come up with Elfwick quality stuff that I want to write. I mean a few weeks ago I made a joke about Laverne Cox playing Rocky Horror and mused about transvestite erasure. I though it was kind of funny but, lo and behold, someone published a link where someone was actually serious about the idea. Oh well.

I am leaving out a lot but from what talks I have with my kids I don't think it's enough. I think what little contact they get should be more meaningful. I know she has lots of issues but fuck so do I, so does everyone.

Get yourself a Disqus account and come troll Patheos with us.

Usually when one of us links something good at Patheos, a few pitters will go over and fuck shit up. Some are brilliantly funny trolls a la Elfwick, others simply debate the subject. I am not particularly witty (all tit no wit), but I get around that by pointing out holes in their logic, JAQing off, if you will. Frustate them anyway you can.

Comchnchicnc I wouldn't make waves. Just chill with the kids and be the best parent you can be. If she's there are not, it's now her own business how she parents. It's frustrating as fuck but now you're separated it's none of your business and not worth the drama.

#43977

I'm super amused by the "the pit doesn't do anything waahh" stuff from FtB.

We're skeptics, we investigate your fucking bullshit. :)

You are right but mang if I am not an awful parent. These kids deserve better.

So someone just linked this on WEIT. An asshat over on LJF was all like 'don't be mean to the Muslim rapists, cuz Germans raped non-aryan women in WW2 bro'

Well.....

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marocchinate

Marocchinate (pronounced [marokkiˈnate], Italian for "those given the Moroccan treatment" i.e. "women raped by Moroccans") is a term applied to women who were victims of the mass rape and killings committed during World War II after the Battle of Monte Cassino in Italy. These were committed mainly by the Moroccan Goumiers, colonial troops of the French Expeditionary Corps (FEC),[1] commanded by General Alphonse Juin.

The monument "Mamma Ciociara" was erected in remembrance of the Marocchinate women, particularly those who were killed during the "liberation".
