@A Land Whale

What’s the difference between a chickpea and a garbanzo bean?

To reinterate what others have said elsewhere, probabaly more eloquently: please don’t kink shame. Mocking consensual sexual activities between adults has undesirable knock-on effects.

@ Weird Eddie:

Nice job on the Billy Joel parody. I was thinking of adding some of the Orange One’s “accomplishments” to the verses, just to rub it in that we’re mocking him for some very good reasons.

Jeeby-creeby this footz guy is emotionally draining in the CIA report thread. It’s difficult to say “you’re being an arrogant, mansplainey atheistbro” without having them immediately shut down!

Last try before I take out the knives, I think. If he ain’t gonna get it this time, he just ain’t gonna get it. One more pseudo-rationalist on the pile.

Edit: Friend just used the best term for Trump. He’s America’s new Putintate.

😀

@Scildfreja

I know I already asked you, and got an answer, but I thought I might ask again for the benefit of lurkers.

Where on Earth do you find that kinda patience ?

@Sinkable John,

Who may shudder to devise
what there in sunken R’lyeh lies.
There, unblinking, patient, deep
there do their souls, unresting, sleep.

What patience self-destruction brings
what sunken city, sunken kings.
What calm, the yawning void implies
what there in sunken R’lyeh lies.

Definitely add verses detailing the reasons we dislike him!

The more info that we get about this dossier, the more enraged it makes me. News orgs had this shit since October in some cases and elected not to go with it … because it was “unverified.” Meanwhile every unverified rumor about Clinton’s emails was front-page news.

Why go with the sanctity of verification for Trump but not for Clinton? Why, news orgs? Why did you have to be such assholes to Clinton but handle Trump with due care and concern?

Enforcement is up and abusers are getting more of a sense that society doesn’t accept their behavior. The MRA “experts” I’ve read seem to support reducing sentences to probation or anger management courses. The evidence shows that a long jail sentence (between 9 months and 18 months) is the most effective sentence while anger management courses have a minimal impact (shorter jail sentences are less effective). Anger management works well for stuff like road rage and violent attacks on strangers, while telling abusers to manage their anger triggers often reinforces their belief that the abuse is excusable.

This sounds very much like the books I’m reading for a university class I’m taking right now on women and violence, Violent Partners by Linda G. Mills and In an Abusive State by Kristin Bumiller. Both books have left me speechless at their claims that feminism have made domestic violence worse and it worries me that a nominally feminist class is teaching about domestic violence in a way not dissimilar from MRAs. Has anyone else heard of these authors? I don’t know about Bumiller, but I’ve found some criticism of Mills claiming she liked to portray herself as a lone visionary against “feminist orthodoxy” and I certainly see that in her book.

Scildfreja: oh shit. You’re…

Wow.

I guess the people you exhibit that patience to *are* usually reduced to gibberish after, so I guess it fits.

You really suppose in this sort of verbal abuse seems like the way to go to keep people from ‘shutting down’?

It’s too bad you find verbally abusing me to be emotionally draining.

Here’s an idea – if this behavior of yours is causing you harm, try not doing it. It’s worth a shot.

How fucking dare you accuse Scildfreja, one of the kindest, most patient commenters on this blog, of emotional abuse. What you’re doing right now is gaslighting. You’re blaming her for the emotional toll that your behavior is taking on here. Step the fuck down.

verbal abuse

This right here is why we have a comments policy. Otherwise, I’d be hella tempted to show you what verbal abuse looks like ?

Doesnt understand basic concepts like grain of salt, splain, brogressive, internalized prejudice, or dogwhistle. Goes all ‘feminists are the real bigots’ at the 1st sign on criticism. Gaslights a woman with accusations of verbal abuse. So, other than being around longer than I have, what separates this shit misogytroll from any other shit misogytroll? Cos I’m not coming up with anything…

O hai, footz

Please ‘splain how

“you’re being an arrogant, mansplainey atheistbro”

isn’t abusive.

…and this is what Scildfreja’s saying ‘before the knives come out’.

How does objecting to such content-free name calling suddenly become ‘gaslighting’?

Just another weird insubstantial accusation to hurl?

The lack of self-awareness your comment evinces is severe.

Objecting to content-free posts isn’t ‘gaslighting’ – unless you’re making up novel definitions now.

Do give David a call.

As for the rest of your post, the less said the better.

Please ‘splain how

“you’re being an arrogant, mansplainey atheistbro”

isn’t abusive.

Calling you out on your poor behavior is not a form of abuse.

Edit: wait, but he asked me to ‘splain so I need to be super condescending and direct it at an expert in such matters. Damn, doing it wrong.
