Here’s my segment from The Majority Report yesterday

Obsidian, your presence in the manosphere doesn’t prove the manosphere isn’t racist any more than Janet Bloomfield’s presence proves it misogynistic. We’re judging them by their words, not their demographic make up.

And here I thought that actions speak liuder than words(!)> Alright then, fair enough; what then do you have to say about the #SolidarityIsForWhiteWomen fiasco a few Summers back? By your logic, I can say the exact same thing about White feminists – that they have shunned and excluded Black feminists for the better part of a century, and this is per the writings of Black feminists themselves, not anything I made up.

Your response?

@Tracy:
I’m sorry, I have no idea who the person you’re referring to is.

“I also love that a ‘good faith’ discussion apparently begins with one side posting a huge string of comments (on a site on which he had previously been banned) and then expecting the other person, who had not agreed to any sort of discussion in the first place, to patiently go through them, comment by comment, point by point.”

Yes, I do. When someone like Dave, who has made a cottage career out of taking scurrilous potshots at the Manosphere, goes on a fairly popular media show like Majority Report and does an over hour long interview, he and his audience can and should expect to have to deal with those of us who wish to question his statements with a few of our own.

Now, to be sure, neither Dave, nor any of you, are obligated to respond; Dave is well within his right to run his website any way he chooses. But he then ruins what little relative credibility he has left when he refuses to engage, directly, those he talks smack about from the safety of stans like Matt Binder. Let’s see what Dave is like when the other side can actually clap back.

Again: I’ve responded point for point to Dave’s interview upthread. Anytime you or anyone else here is ready…?

See the sea lion above.

Obsidian, you seem to need a lot of attention. I have a cat like that, but he’s cute and talks less than you do.

Argenti, I lived very near Pittsburgh and spent a lot of time in Oakland and Shadyside, wishing that I were a student at Pitt or Carnegie Mellon. And the Carnegie library! It’s a temple of books.

“This thread’s inactivity is proof that WHTM is DYING FOREVER (and totally has nothing to do with the 7 newer threads and several recent MRA-linked shootings, nope, nothing at all). Time to revive it.”

STEMLOGIC, yo.

And they always think they’re so original when they pull this shit.

Nope, never mind, totally did not need to be read. Just Obsidian being tedious. In other things, my tortoise just sauntered out to finish his leftovers from last night. I’m gonna go watch the adorable pink tongue be adorable.

Argenti, I apologize, buit again Dave has covered a lot of ground in his lengthy interview. I think it only fair that I have a chance to pose some questions and respond to the many points he raised. Don’t you?

Kat — I went to Pitt! If you’re still in the area I highly recommend you wander the first couple floors of the cathedral (the rather phallic building across from the library), the architecture inside is just as stunning as the outside.

@Obsidian

You have a cat that talks? Really?

Indeed, he does. It sounds like this: “Meow, meow.”

Rather, I have a question for all of you: is it fundamentally wrong for a man to want to learn how to have sex with the women he actually finds sexually attractive? If your answer is “no” to that question, then what is the beef about? If your answer to this question is “yes”, what do you propose is the alternative – and why hasn’t such an alternative been available until now?

Might I politely suggest you read this very blog upon which you are now so tediously posting, perchance you find the answer to these questions?

We shall resume in an hour.
