Rolling 'this is sexist' thread

and yeah also what contenderizer said, wtf

wikipedia is a conspiracy of fuckheads and nobody in 2013 should be taking it seriously as a project

Judging from the treatment handed out to feminists who try to correct basic facts about themselves on talk pages, Wiki is full of MRA arseholes.

! haven't heard about that. has it been discussed here?

i wanna see these juicy wikipedia talk pages

No, We're Keeping The Night

(sorry)

grim lol

If they can't do anything about that dude and his sign (which let's be honest, if there's a code of conduct at the school I am certain that that level of aggressive speech crosses it and they are just being cowardly), one would hope his Twitter account could get him booted

calling U of A a school is excessively generous

lol

that dude would be awesome to hit against a pavement repeatedly

most blogging "conferences" whether involving "mommies" or not are glorified marketing events.. Blogging is only a job for like .00001% of people who do it. That photo is o_O but I'm not really sympathetic to complaints about wanting to be taken more seriously as a blogger.

xxp Why, in the third picture of that charming gent I can see the top of his boxers and some bare midriff. What does a man deserve for such shameless public flesh- and underwear-baring? Also his mind is showing and it's not so appealing.

I mean, the tone of the WSJ piece looks a little insulting too. But let's face it, that's what these conferences really are for most attendees -- a vacation. It's like going to SXSW as an amateur musician -- it's related to your craft, but it's mostly just a good time.

Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump 17h
26,000 unreported sexual assults in the military-only 238 convictions. What did these geniuses expect when they put men & women together?

oh dear lord

Playing the trump card ^

'To trump' is a British euphemism for farting.

rolling "fuck you john humphreys" thread

This was stunning. Have not heard use of word 'feminisation' so often within 5 minutes. Gf was spitting mad, it was terrible, and Humphreys mainly to blame. Do we have a 'Is Today worse than it used to be?' thread? Because it seems to be.

Laurie Penny could've been a bit less rambling, she might not have been talked over so much. But at least she gets in a decent fairly snappy final point re: feminism not just being about liberating women.

She was really good on 10 O'Clock Live last night and was pretty much recycling what was said there.

I've been told that Humphrys is incredibly rude to female underlings and those young women who might need something professional from him, but who are not colleagues.

I'm not sure if this is the correct thread, but this article about a man trying to break his ogling habit struck me as deeply weird.

it's being discussed on the marc loi facebook feminist thread

which thread is that?

it's the marc loi facebook feminist thread

ah ok, I see it now, didn't know which board it was on

i do think that article is sexist though, because it presupposes a contradiction between seeing someone as sexy and seeing someone as an intelligent, autonomous person, which is a deeply weird thing to think.

He's trying to police himself for sexist behavior, but his "cure" is even more problematic.

IDK none of it struck me as too weird, but then I did grow up Mormon with the "just imagine Jesus" advice ruining my own early sex life. I think 'try not to have a constant pornographic internal movie projector about every woman you come in contact with' may be a reasonable goal (or clumsy first step?) if you are trying to see all women as people. Writing about it is kind of goofy but everyone's a fucking navel-gazer these days, even if the topic isn't usually gazing at others' navels.

Like just thinking about my interactions with random men throughout the day, I never walk away thinking, "I hope that guy thought I was witty and kind AND that he wants me to choke on his cock," like really just the former would be ideal. I wouldn't think a guy was sexist if he skipped the second part! (NB I defs don't spend my days trying to fill in others' internal monologues, esp re: me.)

haha

I thought it was weird that he was talking about how tormented he felt about his idle sex fantasies at the beginning of the piece, to the point where he calls a sex addict hotline, and then finishes up by going to a pool full of bikini-clad coeds and a mostly female yoga class. It was kind of like "I think I might be an alcoholic; I'd better drink these beers to make sure."

i know it takes all kinds in life, but, i feel like a dude who calls himself 'beta' anything has internalized feminism in kind of an odd way

mostly this dude just seems like a dullard

xpost to crabbits. hm, i wasn't thinking that his passing fantasies were that explicit. but i guess maybe that was implied by his use of the word "pornographic". i guess i don't know what goes on in his head, and i can agree that certain thoughts -- if they become obsessive, and overwhelm normal functioning -- could be an issue. he seemed to be describing just like, being struck by the hotness of various women around him.

When I was in Yeshiva in high school (~10-12th grade) I had a close friend who "struggled" w/ masturbation and used to consult with one of the Rabbis privately to get inspiration/strength to break the habit. Later he had a sexual relationship with another student when they shared a two-person dorm room together. Afaik that was the event that created the policy that the Yeshiva wouldn't put 2 students in the same dorm room alone (only 1, or 3 or more).

that sounds so humiliating, to have rabbis and classmates know about one's masturbation habits.

It's hard to be discrete about masturbation in a dorm room situation.

Last week during a segment on breastfeeding, the host of the Dutch Saturday night show, Langs de Leeuw, suggested he would like to try breast milk.

An audience member offered him some milk she had expressed but host Paul de Leeuw told her he would rather take it from its source and suckled both her breasts on live TV.

what the fucking fuck

whaaat
