In a way, I believe that you're giving PZ too much credit when you call him a "credulous idiot." I would say that he's doing what many people do when they join a cult, from Scientology to SJWism: he is burning bridges, such that he has no choice but to stay in the cult. At some level, he knows that that story is bullshit. But he is doing what you have to in order to remain an approved member of his extremist group: he is sacrificing any remaining honor and self-respect, thus trapping himself deeper, by publicly making a fool of himself.
I think it's simpler. If this story isn't true then it should have happened. It is a parable of sorts. It's literal truth is secondary to its messaging.

This is the real mental illness of the SJWs because it extends to all their dealings. Who cares if Alison was a participant? Shermer is, by character, a rapist so her posthoc tale is an accurate take on the man (and men). Elevator Guy served RW's purpose whether or not he was ephemeral. If Radford didn't harass Stollie, who cares? It's a great metaphor for all the times he did harass women.

If you try and knock down the particular tale you are actually rejecting the underlying theme.

Ah, yes, the usual "even if it didn't happen, it still shows the problem".

I hate that shit, just like the "even if he/she wasn't guilty, it's still a learning experience for him/her".

Sorry for being gender-binary. I live in the real world.

By many measures, women have leapt ahead of their male peers in higher education.

The hidden cost of academic gender parity, according to a new analysis by the American Association of University Women, is a disproportionate student debt burden; women are borrowing more to “get ahead” on the career ladder, only to find their futures constrained by the shackles of debt.

The author is quite rightly being taken to task in the comments, for overlooking the glaring fact that getting (expensive) degrees in non-STEM fields (esp. women's studies) might be a path to a high debt load.

PZ identifies his political base.

From his tenured public service desk at a liberal university in a pop 5000, 91% white rural town

How about if instead we drew on our base? More black grandmothers who are fed up at seeing their sons shot or thrown into prison. More middle class labor workers who are smart enough to see through the lies of management

Well many people thought he wasn't funny. He had diverted a good chunk of his "humor" into pandering to feminist issues, and that is where he built his audience fan base. He was just saying things they agreed with & taking pot shots at non-feminists. Once that burned to the ground, and lost his radio show he had no more audience.

It sounds like he did not make any friends with the other comedians. So he doesn't seem to have much support at all.

Keeping his head down for a little while would have been a smart move while it blows over. Maybe he may still be licking his wounds.

Richard Carrier on the other hand just powered through like it never happened and fought back. Didn't even bother to do any grounded self reflection.

This is not that difficult. Scientifically, there are two sexes, male and female. Intersex outcomes result when something goes wrong genetically or developmentally. More shouldn't be made of that than it is. Everything else is gender, which is --->

Gender is sociological. You can claim whatever the hell you want, while realizing that scientists are probably not going to give a fuck. Transgender is an attempt to mimic the other sex through treatment or surgery. However, this now crosses back into the scientific domain of what sex is. Scientifically, intersex is not genuine sex, and so, yes, scientifically speaking transwomen are not real women, and transmen are not real men. At this point a lot of people (most) on the far left lose their shit.

Surely you jest.

Lieutenant general, lieutenant-general and similar (abbrev Lt. Gen, LTG and similar) is a three-star military rank (NATO code OF-8) used in many countries. The rank traces its origins to the Middle Ages, where the title of lieutenant general was held by the second in command on the battlefield, who was normally subordinate to a captain general.

He was special because initially he pawned himself off as an atheist comedian... which was only significant because he came to some of the conventions, as I am sure that atheist comedians are a dime a dozen.

I recall his vegan tirade in one of the last skepticons. No radio show. No conventions. Kind of like Watson blowing her SGU podcast & the Scientific America writing gig. Now neither one has anything to keep them in the public eye, making it harder to get paying gigs.

It also doesn’t help that when someone like Steve Shives does directly attack the regressive atheists, he gets a ton of demented alt-right squirrels throwing 90 minute long raging monologues by talking kangaroos or suits of armor or chattering cow skulls.

Myers is still tarding away at the 'regressive' prefix.

The reason we use 'regressive leftists' is to point out that self-identifying 'progressives' are supporting regressive ideologies. It's a play on words.

It doesn't work if you try attaching it to random other words, Myers, you retarded cunting cunt.

In the UK, the BBC recently interviewed some talking head for Hizbollah and organiser of the AL-Quds march......who said, live on air that Maajid Nawaz and Douglas Murray were "hate preachers". This is the standard bullshit from pro-Islamists who get on air on the BBC, to immediately deflect and attack Muslim activists, ex-Muslims, and critics of Islamists and Islam, and suggest they are the REAL problem, and not the Islamist bombers or violent verses in the Qu'ran, etc.

Anyway, the BBC has had to offer two on-air apologies.

[youtube][/youtube]

[youtube][/youtube]

This happens quite a lot when the MSM interviews angry members of the public, or talking heads from activist organisations. On LBC, when the Finsbury Park mosque story broke, they spoke to a member of the public, live, from the area, who claimed it took the police "one hour" to arrive. The suggestion being that the police don't care when Muslims are attacked, but swoop into action when the other way round. Complete bullshit, of course, but the presenter, despite expressing some surprise, didn't attempt to challenge it.
