Oy, Sorry for more Rush Limbaugh-related crap, but this cartoon, by Gary McCoy, was just too appalling not to post.
I’m not even going to get into the slut-shaming, or that the cartoonist is bizarrely trying to fat-shame someone who is not actually fat, but I would like to point out once again that WE’RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT PROVIDING FREE BIRTH CONTROL (even though that sounds like a nifty idea to me). We’re talking about INSURANCE COMPANIES COVERING BIRTH CONTROL LIKE THEY COVER OTHER MEDICAL EXPENSES. You know about insurance, right? That thing that people PAY FOR THEMSELVES, with THEIR OWN MONEY?
Are Rush and his fans really so ignorant and obtuse that they’ve somehow convinced themselves that this is about the government paying for birth control? Or are they deliberately misrepresenting the issue, knowing that most of their readers/listeners/whatever won’t bother to check the facts?
Our trolls are like those dolls with the string in back. When you pull it, all they say is “bigot.” Worst. Toy. Ever.
If the MRM was not out there fighting the good fight to bring back legal domestic violence and rape, where would men be?
I mean, now you cannot even punch your spouse without getting arrested, The MRM wants to change all that!
Aren’t all the other men grateful for that?
Well no, because most people do not want to legalize domestic violence, and most people are not rapists.
Mags, what did you major in? Obstinacy and illiteracy?
Yes, yes, I read your quaint little blog post that asserted it as well. Funnily enough, you never cited anything before saying it was “Just as bad as creationism”. Spoiler alert: that doesn’t make you look like the biologist in that analogy XD
astrology
Yeah, it would figure that you would major in total bullshit.
No, it was a blog post where you tried to say your little hatecrush kimmel was to sociology what ID was to biology. It was cute, because there’s mountains of evidence against Intelligent design and various other forms of creationism, and you had… nothing but your own words. Not a single study except Kimmel’s own, to which you raised no actual challenges.
It was funny, really. He’s more like Neil Degrasse Tyson than he is a researcher, and you still couldn’t nail him on his research. But please, continue your quest for the clubhouse!
Firstly, learn how to use ellipses. Second, I’m pretty sure I never tried to kill anybody or fuck any of my students like Schwyzer–not that I ever had any students to fuck, but whatevs. Third, “you remind me of people who obviously despise men because you are in the same category” is fucking ridiculous. Fourth, I think I would spot it if feminism were villainizing men qua men. The few times I’ve seen stuff I have found problematic regarding men in feminist thought–and I have, but a few– it has never approached anything like what I’ve seen from the MRM. Fifth, the fact that you’re a woman who prefers not to see the obvious misogyny prevalent in the MRM sums up why your commentary is both bigoted and useless. Oh no wait, that’s an ad hominem argument. Your commentary is bigoted and useless regardless of who you are or what you see, Mags.
I assume, RK, that you’re talking about this article: http://www.avoiceformen.com/misandry/sycophants/a-profile-of-michael-kimmel-2/
Magdelyn’s trying to take Brandon’s place as “most boring troll ever,” right?
@moe…do you mind if I call you moe?
i find it pretty hilarious that you focus in on elipses…when my entire pose uses no capitalization and i pride myself on my bad spelling. i think grammar nazism is about the worst form of argment on the planet…like putting (sic) in other peoples quotes…
Mags already was, we just don’t have B_don to yawn about anymore.
You’re welcome lauralot.
Wasn’t thanking you there.
I “focused” on ellipses for all of one sentence because that is the first example of a comment of yours that I can remember which abuses ellipses so much. Seriously. Serial commas, semicolons, and simple periods are your friend.
Wait, I thought you prided yourself on shitty capitalization and spelling? Well now I feel cheated.
It’s also not a form of argument: it’s mocking you because, as Thomas Jefferson said, “Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against unintelligible propositions.” Personally I think the ad hominems and false dichotomies you use are the worst forms of argument, mostly because they’re actual logical fallacies.
Okay, that actually made me laugh. Including the intentional or unintentional irony of misspelling “post”
i find ad hominiems useful when one is trying to stop a conversation with someone. unfortunately, as you can imagine, some people don’t get the hint.
Yes, hee, that marvel of scientific criticism (Though I saw it on your blog, not on AVFM. Way to maintain their high standards though!)
You’re on the internet, you stupid twit. You could just stop having the conversation.
So the girl who posts here for, as she has stated, the sole purpose of annoying us, wants the conversations she starts here to end, presumably because they annoy her.
Makes sense.
I find mockery enjoyable when someone presents a laughably easy target. Seriously, go read a book and stop “having” this conversation if you don’t want it.
Preferably a book where you actually learn things. Something you have not been doing lately, it seems.
AVfM picked it up after i put it on my blog. I wish they would pick up this piece I did on hugo schwyzer: http://www.goodwomynproject.com/2011/07/what-hugo-schwyzer-needs-is-good.html
