I talked to The Majority Report’s Matt Binder about Men’s Rightsers, PUAs, MGTOWs, and the rest, as well as about some of the attempts of white supremacists to recruit in the manosphere (and vice versa). Enjoy!

Damn PI, way to go!
@Paradoxial Intention:
I want you to know that I have responded to your post to me; it’s currently in moderation, and includes all the links you require and then some. Thanks for the relatively reasoned and civil conversation! Just goes to show, that it’s always better to jaw-jaw, than to war-war, hmm?
In appreciation,
O.
Huh! I can’t think of one time when feminists started a war-war.
@ Kat
My heroine Boudicca?
@Alan Robertshaw
Certainly women have fought in wars, often disguised as men. But they weren’t fighting for feminism.
Boudicca fought the Romans, not the patriarchy. If she had fought the patriarchy and won, I believe that the world would look very different today.
@ Kat
Well of course before the row over the will and her father’s debts Boudicca came from a family of happy collaborators.
It was the rape of her daughters that was the cassus belli though, so that’s a bit feminist.
@Paradoxical Intention
While I lack your fortitude and tapped out Obsidian’s ramblings early on, I did notice that comment and I share your curiosity about these supposed “very powerful questions”. I’d love to examine them, and when I say examine I really mean point and laugh at them.
“I think the pickup artists have forced a number of very powerful questions onto the table for the rest of us to examine.”
Pickup artists?
Forced?
Very powerful?
Huh.
WTF tedious troll is tedious.
Is anyone else slightly grossed out by the passive aggressive “thank you” Obsidian gave PI? Like, see how good PI is, not being childish and immature like the rest of us?
Btw, calling a bunch of people, the majority of whom are cis women, childish and immature? You’ve dripped sexism on the floor, mind cleaning up after yourself?
@ Argenti
I dunno, I’m still puzzling over “Just goes to show, that it’s always better to jaw-jaw, than to war-war, hmm?” There are so many condescending asshole layers to this statement, but mainly I’m wondering if “jaw-jaw” and “war-war” are racist against Native Americans or not.
It’s the Churchill quote isn’t it?
(although he probably nicked it like he did with ‘so much to so few’)
“I think the pickup artists have forced a number of very powerful questions onto the table for the rest of us to examine.”
These very powerful questions: Are they like really, really muscular tribbles?
So many questions, so little time.
@Alan
That doesn’t mean it’s not racist.
@ POM
How might it be racist?
Agreed. I was being “childish and immature” myself, with loads of sarcasm, mostly because the dude doesn’t know the definition of the word “brevity”.
@Alan
There’s a very racist caricature of Native Americans that they use language like that.
I mean, what in the world made Churchill use those phrases in particular?
Errm, am I the only one who finds that cat freakout video painful to watch? “We find your terror hilarious!” is not something that makes me smile.
There had been a speech with a reference to speaking jaw to jaw. Churchill condensed it as a nice catchy aphorism. It’s quite famous over here.
I’m assuming the kitty bath soap is a flea treatment or some such, cuz otherwise yeah, that was cute for the first few seconds, and then rapidly went the way of “aww, even if this is necessary can’t you at least talk nice to poor kitty?” That’s totally how Darwin signals he’s done in the tub though, and then we have a very awkward period of picking him up combined with making sure his underside is clean, which he does NOT like, but is a necessary part of keeping your tortoise clean. Still, I try to keep him level and talk nice to him while I do it, and his claws can’t break skin!

Ontop of the fact that the cat sounds like it’s screaming “no”? No, you’re not.
@Policy of Madness
Me too, although I know that Paradoxical Intention meant no harm.
I’m still traumatized about having to give my cat a bath in August 2007. We were strangers to her! But we talked to her soothingly. And afterward, she was very, very happy to be clean.
Well, as an example of a talking cat, PI did nail it. It’s just unfortunate that the cat likes water about as much as, uh, shit, I can’t use a wet cat as the punchline *flails* I KNOW! The cat likes water as much as tortoises like being upside down!
Actually, anything more than about 30° off level and he starts getting weird, even if his stupid ass got himself in that position… tomorrow, I must find and upload it… I have a clip somewhere of him nearly flipping himself over insisting on going between things instead of over or under either thing (don’t worry, I righted him when it looked like he might actually fall, him clawing in futile determination is great though)
