Picnic Princess posted:Cows aren't even really that stupid either, my father-in-law raises cattle and they definitely have intelligence and personalities. This is why I advocate we start eating more horses. All the horses I ever met growing up in a farm town were dumb as poo poo. Horses are like cows but with the added part of dogs that is terrified of vacuums. I'd feel wierd about eating species with strong cross-species empathy, but then again we usually don't eat those (Llamas, dogs, etc). I might draw the line at goats but every goat I've spent any time with was either a braindead eating machine or a testy rear end in a top hat. Also goat is delicious, eat more goats.

Today, in "the Imgur Community is really lovely, just like the internet at large": Someone posts this photo  With this title quote:Egalitarianism is about equality; feminism is about the advancement of women under the guise of equality. And these are the top responses  Let's take a look at the negative-rated comments!

tbf she has a point in that there's several sectors in feminism that are actively hostile toward women who don't identify as feminists (or really are hostile toward anyone who isn't a political lesbian) and they have a disturbingly large presence in discussions. Feminism suffers from both an image problem and an extremist problem (and the two feed into each other) Can we just say that every pic you posted is awful in its own special way?

Blade_of_tyshalle posted:Today, in "the Imgur Community is really lovely, just like the internet at large": Ironically the people participating in "Why I don't need feminism" are actually working towards feminisism through the unification of women towards what they see as equal treatment. They're just a part of the never-ending trend of feminists branching off, creating more discourse and evolving the movement and nerds are holding them up as men's rights heroes. It's great! e: here's a smart lady with a phd who puts it a lot more eloquently than me.

Here's the source of the image: https://www.facebook.com/MyLegalHeat/posts/337559393002201 Estimated 85,000,000 gun owners in the USA, eleven of them kill people each day, resulting in 37 deaths per day. Apparently, those eleven gun owners are the mass-murdering sort. I also like this bit: "2,191 people use a gun every day in self-defense." "Once again, this is a conservative statistic, the actual number is likely higher." Source: a book called "More Guns, Less Crime." I had a gun pulled on me, last year. I just bet that incident meets this statistic's definition of "self defense." Despite the fact that the man with the gun was 100% the aggressor, harassing and eventually assaulting a friend of mine, he was "defending" himself against me when I said, "That's enough," and took two steps toward them.

Wasabi the J posted:That's awful and you could press charges against the rear end in a top hat if you wanted. It was caught on video. When the cops came, he both denied having the gun we described AND claimed the security cameras (this happened at his - well, his wife's - bar) had been out of commission for months. One of the cops recovered the video that the gun-puller had tried to delete, and found the gun hidden in the bar. The video supported us 100%. When a prosecutor was assigned, we called him numerous times, making it clear that we were very willing to see this go to court. The prosecutor told us he intended to prosecute the crime fully, and gave us his word that he would contact us before making any final decisions. Instead of doing that, he made a quickie plea deal, and the man who was drunk, carrying a concealed firearm in a bar got three months probation, and apparently did not even lose his ccw. As a side-note, the cop in charge when the marked units showed up was a total piece of poo poo. I am 100% sure that he knew the perpetrator. That prick was amazingly hostile to us. vv The friend in question is a rabid gun fanatic, and was waiting for his ccw when this happened. He now has his ccw, but he wouldn't have been carrying in a bar, anyway. I am pretty sure he un-ironically believes what you said. He started carrying all the time after the shooting at the CiCi's pizza out here. Apparently, the fact that the only person they killed besides cops was the one guy who was carrying and drew on them just means that guy wasn't as good as my friend is.

Cathy Brennan identifies as a feminist and runs "Gender Identity Watch," a hate group that stalks and harasses transfolk. She's far from the only feminist who is actively hateful and old enough to ought to know better. Also dismissing awful opinions as "they're just children," particularly on the Internet where age is not immediately apparent is a really weak, lovely excuse.

There are people in the LGBT community that think the last couple should be dropped because bisexuals are fake and trans people are insane perverts. There are extremists on every side of every issue, it doesn't mean "screw the whole thing" is a viable option.

Doubly so if you engage in no true scotsman arguments while doing so. Acknowledge that there are lovely feminists but that it's more lovely to throw the baby out with the dishwater.
