Oh look, another fake name default PFP anon account with 25 followers a year is offering a contrary opinion.

And like, even if you met this person from a “failed” courtship attempt, that doesn’t mean it’s impossible to be friends, you just need to, you know, set aside that whole “keepin’ the door open” mindset.
@Vascillia
@RightWingCope
Okay maybe I'm missing something, but looking at that post made me think they were absolutely ridiculing white men. "Lol look at their tiny dicks", "lol look at their phallic obsession" etc.
@kittischmitti
It's like.. am I the only one that remembers the first Anderson "Resident Evil" movie was like barely watchable, but it got 100x better with the sequel once they, you know, actually *adapted the damn game*?
@leamaric
And yet, they are highly likely to trot out “Latinx”, a term far likelier to offend Hispanic Americans than that joke about overfilling a Grand Am.
@BrandonLBradfor
The followup “but but she’ll just keep leading me on and using me” is where we need to encourage men to have confidence in their social skills and the self-esteem to set boundaries. “I’d love to go, but I can only afford to cover myself; is that okay?” is also too often foreign.

She's citing the conclusion from the now-debunked study as if it was true. A good comparable would be to someone saying "lol look out old lady, McDonalds coffee is hot!" then "I wasn't referencing any specific lawsuit"

On the other hand, it’s nice when you can accidentally kick over a pylon on the side of a street without sending nine bystanders screaming for their lives.

Why would you ask a question if, when presented with an accurate answer, you’re just going to slough it off and go right back to conspiracy theories?
@Jose1Pino
@christapeterso
Well, she's citing a fact that was rather famously promulgated in a 2015 study, one that was retracted months later. It would be like someone citing the median wage gap but not knowing what study makes those claims, etc.
@TEBYN_ofHK
Honestly? The Boys is a truly amazing series. You should try watching it some time, since apparently the one two-minute trailer you watched caught your eye.
@ErinDusty
@MailOnline
All you need to know about how wrong you are: she had a bear encounter and with her last breath, called out for a man to save her. So maybe your calculus based solely on men never helping and only farming merits revisiting?
Now reflect on how this woman’s blood is on your hands
@BingDeLaChrist

@christapeterso
If someone said "wow, look out old lady, McDonalds coffee sure is hot!" would you truly be out here saying that there is no connection whatsoever to the lawsuit Liebeck vs McDonald's Restaurants.
How did those "anecdotal" claims get into their heads, do you suppose?

Asking professional journalists to devote a significant chunk of their professional skills to cover a danger-wraught story for zero compensation is also plain wrong.
How DARE a woman be arrested after being convicted of a crime. ANY woman, I mean, but a *crying* woman?
Goddamn those pedestal varnish fumes have really rotted a whole lotta brains.
@obj_disoriented
@MailOnline
So when do we get to cite events like this as proof that “choose the bear” is a completely bankrupt position with some potentially fatal consequences for promulgating? Seems like you want a “this fallacy can never be refuted” shield up here.
@BrandonLBradfor
Cause you know what? It’s not hard to tell. It’s really not. It’s rare of course, but a non-zero and non-trivial chance warrants being aware of the possibility.
@MChoiz
It's fair game to critique a sportsman's performance when he or she is in the arena, especially in a format they aren't used to. There are no personal attacks on the champ; no insults, no insinuations. Nothing wrong whatsoever with what's going on here.
@ijbailey
Other than none of the students being willing to challenge the double standard, I’d say they covered it all. The video in and of itself is completely anodyne; about as racially charged as Weird Al Yankovic’s “White & Nerdy” song.

Plenty of women are hypocrites this way too, let’s not lie to ourselves. Anyone, man or woman, who subscribes to a theory that men have eternal power and women are eternal pawns will be prone to such bigotry.
@dick_nixon
The grimly humorous part of this is that the people trying to martyr Babbitt will be the first to say “why didn’t they just comply” when people of other genders and ethnicities decide they don’t need to obey the lawful orders of armed police.
More sympathy for the female killer than the male infant who had his head stomped to within an inch of his life and was suffocated to death for the rest. How very unsurprising from the land of "abolish all women's prisons".
An origin story is not a free pass for barbaric crime.
What is the point of this sentence? What will it achieve?

Don’t mistake “willing to show evidence” with “looking for something to hate”
@FIDE_chess
Hot take perhaps, but yes, if a 2200 rated male IM won a sectional prize, and was given the opportunity to share the stage with perhaps the greatest player in history to celebrate it, I fully expect we'd ask him that exact same question, and he'd answer exactly as she did.
@Vaisravaana
@alecsbutt
@Dexerto
Let me be a bit clearer: there are a certain group of people who want to take the terribly transactional nature of modern dating apps and vilify exactly one half of these fixed-sum transactions and sanctify the other half.
It's their hypocrisy I criticize.
Hope that helps.

@christapeterso
"At the retreat I'm at" refers not to where she made her observation, but where she is and why she only has one half a bar of service.
This person is a fucking statistician. Someone who works with numbers, especially quantified in weird ways. Can’t count cubes in a logic puzzle. We’re fucked.
@DrProudman
It's quite illustrative that you consider substantive criticism of your arguments and stated positions to be "vile comments", but nevertheless, I'm not leaving them for your benefit.
When people in power choose to speak in error, it's important to have someone correct the record

Yes but it's different when men engage in the exact same banter women, because it's misogyny to fail to treat women better than you treat men. Apparently.

It's unbelievably depraved that all you have to do is falsely assert that something is rape when it is not, and you get 100k views and 3.3k likes.

A preponderance of COVID deaths coming from Trump’s base (old right wing anti-vax nut jobs) may well have turned the 2020 election; people like this being like they are may well have had a silver lining.

You're talking about an industry that follows up "diamonds are forever" with "after 10 years, tell her you love her all over again with a diamond". Like, if they're forever, wouldn't the first one still suffice?

@MailOnline
When someone propagates a myth that something harmful is harmless, those who are hurt by that myth owe a little of their pain to the peddlers of misinformation. Like the anti-vaccine types.
No one is “gloating” about the loss of life. Debunking your myth is not gloating.
@BrandonLBradfor
Another good one to keep in pocket -- why (when controlling for all other factors that rightly impact outcomes) are Black Americans more likely to be sentenced to jail and, when sentenced, for a longer average length than White Americans?
@FenwickDragon
I've said nothing of the sort, and that isn't true in the least. People alleging to be women who are as contemptible as you are a tiny and ignorant minority.
Christ, even AI roast-bots aren't this lazy.
@eeesssjjj
And a carving knife can also totally accurately be described as a kitchen utensil, but I think even you'd agree that would be deliberately misleading to do so.
@mistressmari_
@BrandonLBradfor
That is an issue, yes, but that wasn't the specific problem I'm talking about. If men feel they are going to be taken advantage of by the non-zero, non-trivial number of women who would use "let's be friends" as a ruse, the key is to have the self esteem to say "no" to them.
@g_lamarche
@wesyang
Overall sentence lengths and incarceration rates, controlling for all other variables, have a significant pro-female bias, your “sample size of one with no comparison” cherry-pick aside.
True or false: Canada’s laws have an explicitly lesser charge for woman who kill a child?

It’s a stand alone pejorative. They’re bad (“obviously”) therefore what I’m about to associate with them is bad.
It’s on par with boomer phrases like “Chinese fire drill”, “Mexican standoff”, “Indian time” and the opposite of one’s like “that’s mighty white of you”.
Trite AF.
@IanKennedyCK
This is progress for you, you've finally admitted that you want someone blacklisted for life. The old Ian would have just said "isn't it interesting to see Bill Peters, <insert litany of charges>, back coaching again? I wonder if the WHF believes <insert moral accusations>?"
I predict the “speech is literally violence” and “you can only weaponize white women’s tears” crowds are gonna have a couple blind spots to cope with here.

Had a number of times in my life where female friends have told me to dial it down 10% or so. And we talk about it, and they thank me for being cool and I thank them for having the trust to bring it up, and our friendships continue undeterred.
@LuciaOC_
The 'false' should be compared to the "jailed", as they've same standards.
Remember Crystal Gail Magnum? As she was never charged with filing a false accusation, she would not be counted in the bottom right, but the men she falsely charged ARE counted in the mass of 'rapists'

You do realize that judging a person based on their own words, in relevant context, is a rather justifiable way to evaluate what kind of person they are, right?

And it's like, not just for the general travesty of it all, but Erin Moriarty here isn't just attractive but she *looks* the part of the small town rural girl next door. She fit the part beautifully. Now? Her body, her choice, of course.
@agadmator
It's a bad look to mock an argument that no one with any seriousness has made since the days of Nigel Short, as if that is what the criticism of semi-segregated chess is about. No one is saying that a 200 point upset isn't possible either, as your channel is full of them.

"t would be one hell of a statement to say that non-Hawaiians shouldn’t go to UH"
Yes, but when you're starting with "non-Hawaiians should never visit Hawaii", it's just a difference of degree at that point.
@DrProudman
I can’t make it make sense because it’s not true. Poker pro Daniel Negreanu angrily threw his phone to the floor after a horrible break and it was decried as misogynist violence because a woman was within earshot, described so by people like you I might add.
So, fell off the wagon my first night in Vegas. Not much happened, had a few, then had a few too many, got a walk up to my room and woke up on the floor
Nothing to do but remember I was a sober man just before and I’m a sober man today, and I’m gonna get right back to business.

Women are not entitled to men’s bodies, and men have the same rights as women do to set boundaries on a friendship. This includes “you need to be responsible for yourself and your safety, I’m not at your beck and call, and if it’s late and I’m tired, I can prioritize my safety”.
@IanKennedyCK
Your substantive misrepresentation of what he said still isn't nearly as bad as your attempts to impugn the NHL with guilt by association just because JBP appeared in a city with an NHL team.
@IanKennedyCK
It would be absolutely wonderful if you remembered to adhere to this principle in the times when a player whose "none of your business" involved something that upset you; in those cases, you find EVERYTHING "interesting" or "just wondering" or "I'm not saying, I'm just saying.."
@TrivWorks
You guys should show the whole clip, where Belzer spends minutes ridiculing both his guests, and wants to show wrestling is all harmless by repeatedly insisting that Hogan "put a move on him". Might paint a much clearer picture.
@WhiteHouse
Charlotte has an excuse for not understanding that the median wage gap isn't even comparing two people doing the same *job*, much less under the same conditions; also, for believing that the *net* gap means no fields have a pro-woman gap.
What's your excuse, Mr. President?
@DrProudman
Sadly, only 11 cars have been seized, but the good news is *why*, as they are being held as collateral for potential reparations to the families of the victims. May not seem like much at first but those 11 cars are over $5M USD total.
Still -- 11 down, 22 more to go.
