Oh, ladies, must you complain so much? I mean, who cares if every time you say something on the internet some random dude threatens to rape you? White and Nerdy, the dude behind the Omega Virgin Revolt blog, doesn’t care, and he wants you to know it:
#mencallmethings is just another example of how women (in first world countries) don’t have any actual problems. Between the government and manginas doing everything for women, no woman has any true problems. Any “problem” a woman has is because of one of these reasons:
1. A desire for the equivalent of fried ice. IOW she wants something that is physically impossible.
2. Failed attempts at defrauding, stealing from, or otherwise attempting to enslave men.
That’s it. When a woman has to go through 1% of what a typical non-alpha man has to go through then maybe she can talk about having actual problems. Until that happens women should keep their mouths shut.
Exactly. We need to stop talking about men raping women to focus on the much more important issue of women not having sex with White and Nerdy.
But I am wondering about one thing. Is it possible that the women in question were asking for fried rice instead of fried ice? Because fried rice is totally a thing, and if you call up the proper restaurant someone will literally bring it to your door.
Now I’m hungry.
Which is different I suppose than a child that has just been born, or a child someone just came up and informed you was yours. Anyway whatever, elective paternity tests for all who want them!
See also “The Business of Being Born” – when it comes to Medicalizing and running the costs up on childbirth. See military supply catalogs for the idea that the Gov needing a lot of something is gonna drive prices down to nuttin!
Brandon probably thinks that if you get enough people to all buy something, it’s free.
Viscaria, that seems to be the difference between MRA fathers and other fathers. Ordinary fathers love their children, they love Viscaria, or Magpie. MRA fathers think of their kids as property – sometimes they say something like ” … the house, the car and the kids.” Ordinary fathers know what each child’s favourite toy is, for instance, or what the child is afraid of. MRA fathers don’t talk as if they see the kids as individual people at all.
Anyway, my rule of thumb is that Dad is the one who does the daddying. :))
Oddly, the only people I know who did paternity testing, it was the mother’s idea.
Fucking Statistics! How do they work!?
Fucking monogamy! How does it work?!
Fucking condoms! How do they work!?
And because NWA is feeling left out…
Fucking reading for comprehension! How does it work!?
Anyway, my rule of thumb is that Dad is the one who does the daddying.
I cannot +1 this enough.
Cynickal I’m dying with laughter here XD
Fucking how to not be a complete asshat on the internet! How does it work!?
zhinxy:
He won’t answer because he’s dimly aware that it makes him look silly, but our Brandon self-identifies as a libertarian, well, except for this. And the part where he wants to film his sex partners without their knowledge or consent. You’ve heard what he has to say about gold, I trust?
@zhinxy
Well those $900 hammers and $1200 toilet seats are just too MANLY to be allowed into the general civilian population!
Why are the toilet seats $1200? Because FUCK YOU UNAMERICAN TROOP HATERS!!!
NWOSlave:
How do you know Molly isn’t happy? What do you believe would make her feel happy? What do you mean by “intimacy”? (It involves cleaning up after a dude and maybe his 2.5 kids, doesn’t it?)
Cynickal: Some of those tools are expensive because they are actually few in number, and need a fair bit of QC to meet the design specs.
One of the reasons, to use one example, that Henckels has a $450 knife (their 1731 lines) is because the alloy in question, isn’t cheap. It’s used in, among other things, impact thrust-bearings on the main-engine of the (now defunct) space shuttle.
Did the toilet seats have to be that fiddly? Probably not, but not all high-ticket mil-spec tools/parts are boondoggles.
Cost plus contracts, those are boondoggles, but that’s a different problem; one that isn’t clarified in Brandon’s lack of response (to date) on questions about implementation.
Since I didn’t need a paternity test for either of my kids (you have only to look at them for their paternity to be blindingly obvious), if I’d had them under Brandon’s hypothetical compulsory paternity-testing system, could I just claim the cash instead?
Paternity testing is a very useful tool for the tiny minority of people who actually need one, but what on earth is the point of forcing everyone to have one? I don’t need the government to spend money on telling me something I already know.
How is paternity testing done? Does it require stickiing needles in newborn babies? Cause if it did – forget it!
I know this is a bit behind, but I’ve been having fun elsewhere, so…
Dude, that’s still not fraud. You can’t argue something is fraud if it is in fact not remotely approaching fraud. You’re saying it should be legally actionable, which is idiotic, but it wouldn’t be as fraud either way. Because it isn’t, absent evidence that there is a deliberate falsehood. Crack open a legal dictionary at some point. Or hell, a 101 textbook.
Rutee: Don’t be so cruel to Brandon. He spent time in his father’s office, so he knows all about the law. He certainly doesn’t need Blacks, nor yet Prosser to explain torts to him.
Brandon said:
Er, generally speaking, after a woman gives birth there really isn’t much need for maternity testing. Generally, it’s easy to tell who the mother is, what with the baby coming out of her vagina (or thru c-section) and all.
David: I THINK that Brandon is referring to baby mixups – one mother getting another’s baby. Many hospitals are using bar coded wristbands (the mom’s and baby’s have to match whenever the baby is brought into the room) or even RFID tags to keep that form happening. A lot of it, I’m sure, is just them covering their collective asses and trying to prevent lawsuits.
The hospital(s) where I gave birth used the coded wristbands. It’s kind of a pain in the ass, but it’s far cheaper than mandatory DNA tests! (And it’s there to prevent a situation that is very unlikely but *very* costly if it happens. For the same reason, many hospitals make you confirm who you are and what you’re there for every time they need to do something.)
NWOSlave, I’ve had orgies (well, orgy). You know what happened afterward? A happy cuddlepuddle and watching Big Love. I know this makes you cry inside, but it is possible for someone to–yes– have both kinky sex AND a happy life.
VASECTOMY FRAUD
I (trufact) know two women who became pregnant after having sex with asshole men who CLAIMED to have a vasectomy and either 1) were lying liars who lied, or 2) there were errors or something (I gather men who have vasectomies need to get retested to make sure it’s still operative?).
So, clearly there is a huge percentage of vasectomy frauds going on, and I think we should forcibly round up all men and vasectomize them.
NOW.
Actually the more immediate results of those women’s experiences is all the women who knew them swore that they’d never believe a man who said he had a vasectomy. You might want to keep that in mind Brandon, after you have yours, and consider how you might actually prove that you’ve had one. I suggest videotaping the procedure! 🙂
When I had mine, I was told to carry on using other contraception for twenty weeks, and had to provide two semen samples for testing at 16 and 20 weeks. Both had to show a sperm count of zero for the vasectomy to be judged a success.
I understand this is because fertile sperm remain in the system for several weeks after the vasectomy – so yes, it is perfectly possible to get pregnant from someone after a vasectomy.
@Penucium
What ever happened to “Close enough for Government standards”? 😉
I agree that an army marches on it’s stomach, but do they really need Henckles 1731 line to prep mess hall food? 😮
But to your point, the prices I sites were antecdotal examples pulled from some of the Boeing itimized breakdowns in the late 70’s that Republicans used to smear President Carter as a Tax&Spend Liberal. They’re pretty much Urban Legends that I like to turn on Paleo-Conservatives that remember those days.
A different problem compounded by stagnent wages for soldiers and continually shrinking benefits and medical care.
That is both potentially useful information should I ever find myself in bed with someone who has had a vasectomy, and also just really interesting. Human bodies! They do stuff!
Since I’m very happily married, I can’t really envisage the circumstances whereby I might ever need to prove that I’ve had a vasectomy , but I do have an official letter from a clinic with a traceable address confirming both that I’ve had the operation and that the 16/20 week tests are both clear – so it’s perfectly easy to prove if you really want to.
On the other hand, there’s no physical evidence that I can see – no scars or anything like that. So I doubt I could prove it without documentary backup.
