Ah okay so 'invests in' means 'has complete editorial control over' - right, got it.

LOL!

It's going to be awfully hard for them to say that r/pokemongo, r/music, and r/iphone are all alt-right neo-nazi subs.

Watch them try, though.

ArthnoldManacatsaman · 2021-03-23T15:26:31+00:00

This is a recipe for disaster.

Bill Gatesberg murdered him.

ArthnoldManacatsaman · 2021-03-18T17:25:23+00:00

Bill Gates once received a McDonald's burger where the top of the bun had slipped off into the box.

'Thanks', he said, in kind of a sarcastic tone.

A month later the person who handed him the burger was dead.

ArthnoldManacatsaman · 2021-03-16T16:48:02+00:00

Preach.

ArthnoldManacatsaman · 2021-03-16T16:47:47+00:00

No no see, it's perfectly fine because men weren't the centre of attention.

ArthnoldManacatsaman · 2021-03-16T16:28:45+00:00

I just assumed it would be a doctor in South America somewhere.

ArthnoldManacatsaman · 2021-03-02T20:44:12+00:00

That's not the headline The Guardian went with though, is it?

ArthnoldManacatsaman · 2021-02-28T18:40:37+00:00

You know what would happen though.

The Cambridge Journal of Forensic Psychology (or whatever) or another well-respected journal in the field would publish the article after following its usual process of rigorous peer-review and editing.

The article would be read and discussed by a small group of academics who also focus on this area of forensic psychology, but if he's lucky he might get a conference presentation out of it. Then someone, somewhere in the mainstream media or on social media would get wind of this and then the shit would really hit the fan. The journal and the university would be pressured to recall the article and dismiss the professor with immediate effect, and there would be calls for The Cambridge Journal of Forensic Psychology to have a trans editor in chief.

Suddenly the journal would discover that the article actually didn't conform to the usually impeccable academic standards that are expected of papers of this calibre, and it will be removed forthwith. Similarly, any articles that skate perilously close to this subject will also be found to violate 'standards of academic integrity' and will quietly be removed.

The Cambridge Journal of Forensic Psychology will issue a fawning, obsequious statement about its support of the trans community, and will promise that such articles will not be allowed to fall through the editorial cracks in future. That such an article was allowed into its pages in this instance is 'unpardonable' and something the editorial board 'deeply regrets'. Maybe the editor will have to resign, and the position will be handed to someone with the correct opinions.

The university will launch an investigation into the lecturer, and it will come to light that numerous transgender students who attended his lectures or seminars have described feeling 'unsafe' around him, and maybe some students of colour will come forward and corroborate these claims. Dr. Greenall is a white man, after all.

At best the university will issue Dr. Greenall with a warning, but the subject of violent crime in relation to TIMs will become a subject that no journal, institution or academic will touch with a barge pole.

ArthnoldManacatsaman · 2021-02-24T22:40:53+00:00

That's actually a pretty good analogy, I will be using that in future.

ArthnoldManacatsaman · 2021-02-24T16:16:17+00:00

We don't have a private / public university distinction here. All universities are private (I think?). But yes, it's infiltrating education lower down now as well. Last year there was a TV show called The School That Tried to End Racism wherein a secondary school (~12-18y/o) introduced implicit bias training. It was ridiculous.

ArthnoldManacatsaman · 2021-02-24T12:49:12+00:00

whatever the UK's equivalent of Oberlin is

My initial guess would have been SOAS, but after a little bit of internet sleuthing LinkedIn tells me she went to Kingston University, about which I know absolutely nothing. It's not a bastion of woke, as far as I'm aware.

ArthnoldManacatsaman · 2021-02-23T15:03:24+00:00

You speak too much sense to be lurking in the bowels of Saiddit.

ArthnoldManacatsaman · 2021-02-19T09:06:00+00:00

I second this.

They also removed references to 'homosexual' throughout their website and replaced it with 'gay sexual orientation'.

They're really quite woke.

ArthnoldManacatsaman · 2021-01-27T16:29:52+00:00

The tagline of that website is

We report the truth - and leave the Russia-Collusion fairy tale to the Conspiracy media

so there's that.

Also, the executive order applies to federal agencies. There are a lot of things federal agencies wouldn't be allowed to say in 'policies, directives or government websites'. That doesn't stop you from spouting your bullshit.

Did everyone who voted for Trump follow the man's every word? Did every one of his Tweets get 62 million likes and retweets? No. You can vote for a politician without having to hang on their every word.

ArthnoldManacatsaman · 2021-01-27T16:22:16+00:00

While I very much doubt that 800 people retracted their dislike on the video, it's certainly conceivable that 177 added a like to that video in the time between the two screenshots.

ArthnoldManacatsaman · 2021-01-19T16:44:34+00:00

I vaguely remember reading in an article (or it might have been a podcast) that the critical theory notion of 'smashing the binary' involves breaking open the inferior class to include elements of the superior class (and all binaries have these two classes) and not the other way around.

ArthnoldManacatsaman · 2021-01-13T11:58:39+00:00

but it's not grammatically a sentence by itself.

Why?

ArthnoldManacatsaman · 2021-01-13T10:33:30+00:00

I agree. We've finally agreed that rioting is not, in fact, 'the language of the unheard', but is reprehensible and destructive, have we?

I truly wonder how dare anyone condemn what happened at the Capitol if they didn't similarly condemn the BLM riots in the summer.

ArthnoldManacatsaman · 2021-01-07T09:27:38+00:00

I'm glad I'm not the only one who strays outside the gender critical walled garden and is dismayed at what I see!

ArthnoldManacatsaman · 2021-01-06T21:06:52+00:00

And so we get to the centre of the shrubbery maze.

ArthnoldManacatsaman · 2021-01-06T20:23:48+00:00

Ah, so one Jewish guy in China and a video of a Chinese man talking on a stage (the original of which has been deleted, of course) prove that actually the Jews were the sinister puppet masters of the cultural Revolution. Shouldn't you be shooting things outside Congress right now?

ArthnoldManacatsaman · 2021-01-06T19:55:02+00:00

You know who else is joining in? The Jews.

Gasp

ArthnoldManacatsaman · 2021-01-06T17:46:15+00:00

Mhm, so it is ThE jEwS then.

ArthnoldManacatsaman · 2021-01-06T15:07:00+00:00

'Look into it' is not an adequate answer when someone asks you to expand on a point you make, much less so such a bold claim that Israel had a hand in the Chinese 'Maoist revolution'.

Secondly, what is the 'Maoist revolution'? Do you mean the Communist Revolution off the back of the Chinese Civil War in 1949? Or do you mean the cultural revolution in the late 60s and early 70s?

Or, more likely, are you just a typical Saidit cretin who wants to pin everything on ThE JeWs?

ArthnoldManacatsaman · 2021-01-06T14:13:12+00:00

Israel won the Maoist Revolution

Explain?

ArthnoldManacatsaman · 2020-12-31T00:09:20+00:00

ArthnoldManacatsaman · 2020-12-29T18:50:31+00:00

ArthnoldManacatsaman · 2020-12-17T10:29:00+00:00

ArthnoldManacatsaman · 2020-11-26T12:23:21+00:00

Indeed, and it's true about a lot of the mud that is slung around these days. When things like mathematics are racist, or 'ridiculing [a] partner's gender identity' (whatever that means) is abuse, or words are 'literal violence', then these concepts become very diluted and 'cheapen' actual instances of racism, transphobia or violence.

ArthnoldManacatsaman · 2020-11-24T17:50:48+00:00

Call me a heartless bastard but the idea of someone ‘ridiculing’ their partner’s ‘gender identity’ is quite funny.

ArthnoldManacatsaman · 2020-11-24T10:44:29+00:00

Imagine if they said this about any other group. It would be so offensive if somebody claimed they were black or Asian because of stereotypes (not to mention DEMEANING stereotypes).

Yes, it absolutely fucking would be. I can't 'identify' as Japanese just because I like sushi and have a Hokusai print on my wall. That would be patently ridiculous. But if Brad from Wichita throws on a dress and some guyliner, poof, woman.

ArthnoldManacatsaman · 2020-11-23T22:13:03+00:00

Lol just the kind of bullshit I expect from someone called Jolyon.

I know this comment is several days old now, but out of pure curiosity, which languages do you speak? English and (I presume) Spanish at least?

Lord, say it louder for the people at the back.

I give very short shrift to people who are woke. Whether that manifests itself in #BLM or Xe / Xim or what have you.

They just cannot join a female space and not try to center the entire thing on themselves, can they?

Oh honey. That's exactly what they can do.

I just baked this to make me feel better after my surgery!

Hmmm. Looks kind of dense. I don't think you mixed the flour in well enough.

You have been permanently banned from /r/baking

Edit: Sorry your original comment had too many negatives in it and I got confused :(

ArthnoldManacatsaman · 2020-11-17T17:57:12+00:00

Perhaps I needed to phrase that better.

Can you provide specific examples of instances that you believe demonstrate how this forum has become an 'anti-woman movement' and is 'blaming women for everything while it's men causing the real damage'?

We're all grownups here. Name and shame. Tag the posters here and call them out for their misogyny. Give them the right to reply.

Maybe I'm in the wrong here, and maybe I have an erroneous concept of what 'gender-critical feminism' refers to, but as I understand it, handmaidens and people who help enable trans nonsense, be they male or female, are not above criticism.

The FTM 'father' using her child as a pawn in her validation game is not above criticism just because she's a woman. I think it's equally misogynistic to believe that FTM transsexuals get a free pass to do whatever they like because it's only MTFs that are 'doing the real damage'.

ArthnoldManacatsaman · 2020-11-17T16:10:49+00:00

Can you provide specific examples?

She didn't say this herself, she liked and retweeted someone else who said it (and turned out not to be a real person). It comes to the same thing, definitely, but it's important not to attribute things to people who didn't say them.

I suspect a lot of these people would answer no to these questions, but they may say these examples are not comparable with trans.

Correct. Having used the anorexia argument before (for lack of a better term for it) I was promptly told that the two things 'aren't remotely the same' and my point was not engaged with further.
