Men are also needed to make babies. Did you fail primary school biology?

Oh, that's a little harsh :( I'm pretty sure that reproductive bottlenecks are covered in primary school also. And since you're qualified to flunk somebody over the interwebs, I don't need to explain to you how that's relevant :)

If it makes you feel any better, women are only fertile for a limited amount of time, and the closer we get to our reproductive system's expiration date, the riskier the pregnancy.

Since the women in my family have always started menopause early, I've got, at most, another eight years before my biological clock runs out. So, pretty soon, I get to go sit with the rest of the dried-up useless broads and watch the valuable, eternally-fertile men frolic with the valuable, still-fertile females.

Thankfully, I don't rate my worth in terms of my fertility, and think anyone who does is a dingbat.

P.S. Being "valued" for being a brood mare isn't something I feel I should be thankful for.

Not in my primary school. I looked it up, and I still am not seeing how it equates to "women can make babies all on their very own, therefore kill all men".
And I didn't flunk him over the internet, I ASKED if he'd failed.

Oh, and if it makes you feel better, AspergianMutantt, I don't find you or any other man to be expendable. I know I'm not the whole of society, but I don't know anyone who finds men worthless and thinks they're only good for cannon fodder.

*hugs* I do get annoying and hyper i occasionally get into mischief and goof around but i do have a heart and have compassion. Speaking of which if I ever got married and had a kid heaven forbid and if it was a daughter who inherited my personality, this would be the result!

Edward Bernyas paid a bunch of feminist looking actors to march in a feminist parade smoking cigarettes in order to make it look rebellious and hit for women. The big tobacco companies paid him to do this. Before that women never smoked. Ever since then the movement has been a joke, hijacked and usurped by corporate and political interests tricking women into thinking a certain way because it made to look cool to them.

*sigh*

Well, since you suck at rage quitting nearly as much as you do at arguing, I suppose I'll have to go through this, ughh.

Yes, you did, by stating "why shouldn't they preach their worldview?", you implied that I had said they should not, which I did not in fact say. You continue the mischaracterization here, as you cannot seem to separate my critique, that feminism promotes it's message in a way that's counter-productive, from a call for feminists to shut up, which I've never made. Basically, you're lying about me, which you continue to do throughout this post, as I'll make increasingly clear.

Is it dogma to acknowledge that we can't understand where someone with a different life experience is coming from and therefore maybe we shouldn't just automatically dismiss everything they say?


Would it kill you to stick to what I actually say instead of putting words in my mouth? I was clearly referring to the unquestioning belief and rigidly enforced conformity of ideas often found in current feminism, not dismissing anything out of hand, as much as it would be easier for you if I had.

Nights_Like_These wrote:
I would have to disagree with this. The things that you say they are "blathering on about" are a problem because people refuse to acknowledge them.


That's called begging the question, where you assume facts not in evidence; you haven't even attempted to explain how any of these things are problems, let alone important ones, you've simply stated that it is so and that the real problem is people not acknowledging this unproven thesis. Really, you're proving my point about dogma here, as well as my previous points about your lack of argumentation and critical thinking skills.

Apparently not, but this is indeed NOT the first time we've interacted, and no I'm not going to go look for the thread so I can link it for you to refresh your memory because to be honest I'd rather not rehash that conversation, which you've clearly forgotten about (or are pretending to have forgotten about to prop yourself up a bit--either way I don't really care lol). Where exactly did I call you a name? I'm speaking only of observations I've made while conversing with you once before and while witnessing other comments you've made on other threads I happened to be reading. You have a rather dismissive way of dealing with other people I've noticed. And no, I'm not going to go looking for those threads either because you will just disagree with my observations as you did the first time I made them known, so there is no point, and to be honest I don't really like conversing with you so I'd hate to start a new conversation about an old one. (edit: I understand 'rational'. You don't understand 'subjectivity'. You also don't seem to understand how not to insult people. It's not so "oddly personal" when you make it personal. This is the last time I'm going to even be baited by anything you have to say because I find you to be a singularly unpleasant person, and I've lost all interest in anything you have to say and I have trouble trying to decide if you actually believe the things you say or if you are just trying to be a jerk and an intellectual bully) (<--Now you can accuse of me of name-calling, but I call it like I see it, you can report me if you so wish).


I believe the technical term for someone who makes these kind of personal assertions and refuses to back them up is 'chickenshit', and I further believe you're perfectly fulfilling the criteria right now, wanting to make accusations that you can't back prove but refusing to acknowledge that. What possible gain could I receive from pretending not to remember you? Yours were just another serious of dumb arguments in a thread full of them, and if I remembered the details of every stupid thing said to me in PPR, I'd quickly run out of space in my brain. Further, I'm the one who qualifies every statement of my opinion with 'I think', 'I feel', 'in my opinion', etc, only using more definitive language when speaking of facts, which you'd know if you bothered to actually read what I write instead of blindly lashing out. Finally, for finding me so unpleasant to deal with, you certainly go out of your way to interact with me, which makes me wonder what exactly you think you're doing here.

I didn't say my opinion was infallible, nor am I the one calling for unquestioning acceptance of a particular world view. That would be you.

And now I will leave the Politics, Philosophy, and Religion section of WP to you and your superior intellect and vulcan logic because it's just so vast that there's no room for empathy, so it's silly of me to hope that you might one day employ it.


Wow, I just got called 'Mr Spock' as an insult on an Autism site, by someone who appears to know what logic is from having it described to them second hand...

Just for fun, I'm going to compare this post and the one that proceeded it to Larry Correia's Internet Arguing Checklist, as it's uncanny how accurately it predicted this exchange. The checklist consists of 8 steps,

Skim until Offended
Disqualify that Opinion
Attack, Attack, Attack
Disregard Inconvenient facts
Make Sh*t Up
Resort to Moral Equivalency
Concern Trolling
When all else fails, Racism!

and these posts managed to hit most of them.

Let's see,
Skim Until Offended, yep; consistent outrage without ever actually understanding what I was saying, check.
Disqualify That Opinion; got that in the first one, since as a man I'm apparently unqualified to hold an opinion on feminism.
Attack, Attack, Attack; well, the later half of the second post was almost entirely a personal attack on me, so check.
Disregard Inconvenient Facts; I don't think there was a single fact in any of these posts, so yeah.
Make Sh*t Up; oh yeah, so many words put in my mouth that it's a wonder I didn't choke.
Resort to Moral Equivalency; third paragraph of the second post, I even called it out at the time.
Concern Trolling, not so much, more just straight trolling.
Racism! Substitute sexism, and we're there.

Wow, that whole thing was so generic that there's actually a cookie cutter template that nails it almost exactly.

First, it's a he, not a she, second, he attacked me personally after I posted a perfectly reasonable opinion, and third, shut up and mind your own business, I don't care that you now think you're "reformed" and suddenly full of wisdom and insight, all I see the same old annoying guy posting borderline gibberish where it's neither appropriate nor welcome. Or is this residual butthurt from telling it to you straight in your PC thread? Either way, you're not wanted here; if I need a bunch of pointless posts and off topic youtube spam, you'll be the first name on my list.

Occasional reminder that neither men treating other men poorly nor the exploitation of workers by bosses negate feminism.

Supplementary reminder that you cannot put either of these matters right by deriding or ending or reversing feminism.

Perhaps being informed a family member of yours dying of cancer that you care about as a result of your possible negative karma might make you change your ways? It kinda has in a way for me and yes maybe everything I say is pointless everything I say is annoying it is what it is but I do have compassion for others even though I am immature and do stupid s**t! I know you hate me its fine maybe if your mother is dying of cancer maybe you might change a new leaf too? At times I have been nasty and have done wrong and the ultimate price has been paid. You may or may not believe in karma but it hits hard when it does, do not make the same mistakes I have, and do not deal with the guilt I have its going to hurt and cost you a whole lot. I don't expect you to care or give a rats ass or heed my warning, hell I wouldn't be surprised if your laughing your ass off at my loss but it is what it is. Also its good to see your true colors for once, I don't wish bad on you but if you keep up what your doing maybe you might have to deal with a situation I am dealing right now, just advice right there take it or leave it. Also if your mother is already dead how would you feel if your wife is dying of cancer as a result of your behavior? You don't seem to care at all! But then it is easy not to care because your not in my situation with an abusive sociopathic abusive step father who has a gun who has stalked you for years and who has a gun preventing you to see her! Welcome to my world!
