PZ is amazed that a Muslim man on a plane who was sweating and muttering about Allah caused consternation.

Imagine if, in the spirit of “If you see something, say something”, I were on a plane, and I waved over a flight attendant, and whispered, “That 20-something white guy in 9C makes me uncomfortable. I heard him say ‘Jesus’ on his cell phone, and he looks nervous and sweaty.” Would they kick him off the plane?

I don’t think so. White people in America are assumed innocent, while brown ones are always suspect.

This children, is what happens if you are allowed to run rampant liberal while cutoff in cowpoke Mn.

I have a feeling that if terrorists started yelling "Jesus is Great!" before crashing jets into buildings, hijacking planes, shooting up office parties, malls, bars etc, the public would indeed get a whole hell of a lot more anxious if you started to mutter about Jesus on a plane.

By his own standard, actually by anyone's standard it is racist. It is so much a part of him he did not realize he was showing it. Same thing with his sexism. Remember the pink/blue bunny incident? Remember the Michele Bachmann eating a hot dog incident?

You would think that with all his posturing he would be on guard and not display his racism and sexism so readily. And it is not as if he was speaking off the cuff either.

Nope he had the time between writing and hitting "publish" to reflect on what he was communicating and he still did not notice.

This is irony no? Someone with ingrained racist and sexist tendencies hectoring other people for imagined racism and sexism and unable to notice that he is racist and sexist himself.

Science is cis-male-dominated, so having your sausage swinging around outside the denim dungeon is just a way of signaling to others that you are an intelligent chap.

Cis-women, having no dick to dangle, are thus excluded from the club.

I have no doubt that a SocSci PhD could be written and accepted based on this.

You're mistake is assuming that PZ ever reflects on what he has written or said.

Like the fact prophets of old, he is handing down revealed wisdom, it needs no revision nor editing. When it contradicts what has been written before, just "Shut up and believe!"

I've picked up Cerebus lately, and while I haven't yet finished I've arrived at the point where Dave Sim succumbs to ~~madness~~ misogyny and outlines his precise problem with ~~leftists~~ women.

"How do you feel?" had virtually replaced "who, what, where, when and why" as the journalistic cornerstone. "What are you feeling right now?" Every once in a great while, the Female void would run afoul of some military figure or a police captain or a fire marshal: some male who had not been devoured whole, who still had something of himself left to call his own. His answer would begin, "I think . . ." or "I believe . . ." and he would proceed to enunciate a belief, a principle, an ideal which was, to him, fundamental.

I hesitated to use those strikethroughs ironically as Sim really was aiming his critique at women, and he really does stray into misogyny from time to time. It's not that he's wrong (I believe that women as a whole do process the world in a different way than men as a whole process the world) so much as that he overstates his case. Certainly the problem is as prevalent among leftist men as it is among women (and here he'd interject, again, not entirely without merit, that this is due to the cancer of feminism eating it's way into political thought).

The reason I bring this up is that when I state I believe an act of base violence and cruelty was committed by a Muslim before the facts have born that out, I'm challenged on my belief, and in response I ask, "When was the last time you saw a Christian with a suicide vest in the news?" This, I'm told, is hateful (it's not, it's an observation devoid of any value judgement, that comes later), but even if it was what relevance would it have to the point I was getting at? As rebuttals go it's a complete non sequitur. I'm never presented with, "this is true, but as a liberal that fact is trumped by my commitment to the presumption of innocence, the right to dignity of all individuals, etc etc..." The discussion is an immediate non starter as they have willingly ceded authority to what feels to be, rather than what is. Facts are sacrificed on the altar of that submission, and you wind up with people who for all the world look genuinely insane to those of us who won't bend the knee (Myers can't possibly be so dense or emotionally driven as he's claiming to be).

Sim really saw it all coming. Oh, and Cerebus is amazing. Highly recommended.

#44620

So all evil and wrong comes from white men...

So does most of the good and human achievements. ( biggest philanthropist's? White men, clean water and modern sanitation? White men, Most of modern technology? White men. Moon landing? White men, ....

So if I get the blame for the bad, I should get the kudos for the good. That would be true social justice right?

Oh, and tell those slackers lower on the progressive stack to start pulling their own weight! This building and running society while they while away the day is starting to get old.

Hey, at least you're still alive and uninjured after it and if it's any condolence if France is any way like Ireland then maybe you were destined to fail. Here there's been a long suspicion that there is an unspoken policy of failing first attempts to force at least one retest and of course another charge; especially as a private company now does the testing. It may be imaginary but there are plenty of grey area segments which boil down to the subjective interpretation of the tester as to whether or not you actually made an error.

I read this a long time ago, and agree that it's very good- but yes, Sim does get heavily into women-hating at a certain point.
