Matt Walsh is an absolute piece of poo poo and despite having a one strike mute policy on anyone who shares anything from his blog, it keeps slipping through. He writes these smug, inflammatory articles meant to provoke a response, and then when people react angrily he goes and cries to other super-conservative christian news sites about the "hateful" responses he gotten :qq:. It's just the worst.

For a second I thought you were talking about this guy and I was super sad because he's awesome.

I'll grant that "avoidable" is an oversimplification, but I think that getting upset with someone over saying that it's avoidable is completely unnecessary and makes AnonymousNarcotics look like the bigger rear end in a top hat there, to me. As for the easy way out thing, maybe I'm reading it wrong, but it seems to me like that David Foster Wallace quote about the burning building, how people who jump from one aren't any less afraid of the fall, it's just that they're more afraid of the fire. That it's not "easy" as it were, but "better/easier" than trying to continue on through the depression.

This is really dumb, you may want to consider changing your meds or some poo poo.

Oh man, these tweets were posted in an article about War Machine and Christy Mack.
“Just raped [Christy Mack] She tried to make me wait until “after errands” As if! [sic],” War Machine said in August 2013, reported IBTimes at the time. The tweet has since been deleted.

War Machine’s tweet was, of course, met with outrage, to which he responded: “Real men rape. (Their GF’s and wives, not strangers, don’t get your panties in a bunch.)”

The MMA fighter continued to try to clarify his statements, with no level of success (typos all his, removal of expletives all ours; tweets thanks to IBTimes).

Just loving gross. Even grosser is people supporting him and the fact this type of poo poo happens every day to some women.

I can understand being pretty pissed off if some punk threw an apple at my head. I can't see bothering to go online and write silly poo poo about the seething fire raging within me because of the incident.

I also would like clarification on "whizzing by my head." I suspect there's a significant chance that this really means, "thrown into the woods somewhere inside my nearly 120 degrees of vision."

It's very interesting seeing what real men do when accused of something (run away, lie) and I expect it will be interesting seeing what they do when arrested (resist and get tasered into submission and beaten and severely restrained, I hope) and when they have to go to court (have a horrible long drawn-out nervous breakdown please Jesus).


I was looking through some "bad dating site messages" and was astonished and mildly horrified to learn that multiple people had received messages like these:

quote:

7 girls were killed a week and a half ago because they wouldn't give a guy a chance. Save someone else. Save yoursef. Give me a chance.

quote:

7 girls lost their lives today because they wouldn't give a guy a chance. Save your life.
I couldn't find the one that actually mentioned Elliott Rodgers. But that poo poo is hosed up. Do the guys who complain that women have an easier time on dating sites understand that some of these women are getting death threats?

This is beyond the point, but only two of the deaths in the Isla Vista shooting were women. The other five were Elliot Rodgers' three male roommates, a guy who got caught in the crossfire, and Elliot Rodgers himself.

Since I'm technologically illiterate, I'm gonna give you this little ditty the old fashioned way! For reference, Maddisyn has gotten very involved in the genderqueer movement (with all the ze/zir stuff) and is rockin' the whole "when you are a hammer, the whole world looks like a nail". Destiny is a straight friend of Maddisyn and Aaron is a genderqueer friend of Maddisyn.

Maddisyn: Look, I know Robin Williams was a very funny person at times, but he also made movies that, ironically, vilified people who commit suicide, and one of his biggest hits was terribly transphobic AND he was making another one. Lionizing him unreservedly further alienates people in our communities.

'A culture that continues to laugh at “men in dresses” will continue to invalidate the struggles that actual transgender people go through every day, both in and out of the workplace. If our comedy is stuck in the ’90s, our treatment of LGBT people will be, too.'
http://www.dailydot.com/opinion/no-mrs-doubtfire-sequel-please/

Destiny: Really? Good grief Maddisyn.

Aaron: Gotta disagree. I don't think Mrs Doubtfire dressed up as a old woman because he felt he wanted to relate more like the opposite sex, but because he would do anything to see his children. For me transgender does not come to mind when seeing this movie. Nor do I feel it shed any negative light on the subject. To me it was a feel good classic family film.

Destiny: Yeah, I agree with Aaron. And the lion's share of the humor in that movie wasn't necessarily just because Danny was in a dress, but because of his radical and often failtastic attempts to be the "grown up" for once in his life.

Or are we discussing The Birdcage? No transgendered people in that movie; are you going to write to Nathan Lane and bitch that he dared wear a skirt for laughs in what was honestly a very touching and emotional sacrifice on his character's part?

Destiny: I'm also tired of seeing Silence of the Lambs vilified as tragically transphobic. No. Jame Gumb was NOT transgendered. Not in the book, not in the movie. He was very mentally ill, but moreover, he had NO identity whatsoever, but knew he hated what he visually appeared to be, so he sought out to attach or usurp the power of his opposite image - a woman.

Maddisyn: ... which is why it's transphobic. Trans people are treated as inherently mentally ill (therapy is required to transition) and prominent anti-trans feminists such as Sheila Jeffreys and Janice Raymond consider and refer to sex reassignment surgery as self-harm and mutilation.

Destiny: He wasn't transgendered. At all. So, no. Mentally ill, yes, related to his years of abuse. Not transgendered. Wtf does sex reassignment surgery have to do with it? Why did you have to take a tragic, shocking, and regrettable death of a troubled man and trumpet your cause all over his grave?

Destiny: Therapy is required to get gastric bypass surgery. What's your point?

Maddisyn: We don't get to tell oppressed people what is and isn't hurting them. If we want to help, we have to listen.

Maddisyn: Trans mysogynist characters are not called trans women, because to do so is to validate their identities and fundamentally undermines the message of trans misogyny. The villian of SotL is a psycopathic man who wants to hide in the skin of a woman. That's a pretty literal interpretation of how trans mysogyny views trans women.

Destiny: Therapy is not JUST for fixing people. It is also to prepare someone for a huge upcoming change - ie before surgeries like reassignment or bypass, before adoption/IVF, etc. Re telling people what is or is not oppression... Well, if its all subjective and despite the author, director, and everyone else saying No, this is not a transgender person, nor is it transphobic, then I throw my hands up in resignation. Clearly someone somewhere will be offended by something, whether or not it is rational or not... I'm offended by people who use a tragic death to grandstand about their holy grail. Having dealt with crippling depression and suicidal ideation in my not so distant past, it is horrifying to see people so casual and coarse when discussing his death. I don't see you in much of a hurry to apologize to me about my offendedness.

Maddisyn: I am sorry, and I did not intend to diminish the suffering of people with depression. I think people who commit suicide have experienced terrible suffering and deserve our sympathy, and I'm disgusted by the "suicide is selfish" posts I've seen. I wasn't trying to grandstand, I was trying to express support for people to whom RW was a more problematic figure than he is to most of us.
