Anyone have any good rebuttals against that Egalitarian poo poo? All I've got is that it doesn't really make you seem like you actually care about women's rights if you're that hung up on just the name.

Egalistarian is wishy-washy bullshit about how "Hey everyone should be equal!" while ignoring the fact that the biggest inequality and injustice is against women. It's just MRA neckbeards trying to make it seem like men's problems are just as big as women's.

Think of it like the #AllLivesMatter movement that came in response to the #BlackLivesMatter.

How 'bout them hawks news huh!
If you try and work for gender equality by concentrating on how MEN are treated unfairly in very specific situations, rather than how women are treated in very BROAD situations, then you're doing it very, veeeery wrong.

He's a wisecracker!
It also ignores that feminist organizations do raise awareness of male inequality, such as social perceptions of male rape victims. All 'egalitarians' have ever done is whine on reddit, and all MRAs do is actively threaten women with rape and death.

Uh I'm sorry but that is clearly the unpopular opinion puffin? On imgur that's the meme you use by putting an inane opinion on it and harvesting the sweet upvotes from people that agree with you.

I don't really see a reason to refute it given that it's feminism except with a different name, and therefore good. Unless the MRA people have hijacked the word.

A group of people I know went to the Skellig Islands in Ireland for a day and they were all really thrown off by how mean and aggressive the puffins were. Anecdotal obviously but I can't help thinking of them as extremely cute, vicious hissing flying attack penguins now

The lighting and the background of that puffin photo always makes me think it was taken in a football stadium at night, with the puffin wandering around on the pitch lit up with floodlights.

Yea, people tend to forgot the KMT had racial policies that were not unlike the Nazi's (which still kind of exist in China, with many people who are considered Han thinking they're better than everyone else), and was setting up China to become a fascist state along the lines of Italy and Spain.

Didn't the KMT end up achieving that in Taiwan later anyways? It seems like a Francisco Franco situation where the West supported a military strongman fascist as an ally against a common enemy.

A goon by the name of GunChicka pretended to be this wheelchair-bound but conventionally attractive girl in the Post Your Picture thread and apparently E/N for a while, also, making up stories about having robot legs and trying to recover. Someone did a reverse image search, discovered that GunChicka claimed to be in Portland when the actual person was in Germany. This was GunChicka's last post.

GunChicka posted:

I'll explain, but it's really stupid. Didn't intend to make up a character at first, just registered for LP's and stuff but my life is really boring and I liked reading E/N so I had an idea for a crazy e/n thread I planned on stretching out for a long time. I just googled for pictures to use (which is really inconsiderate in hind sight but I figured I was just making up a story and it was harmless as they were public) as I wanted to lay some groundwork so when my story started becoming unbelievable and people dug up posts it'd seem more believable. Anyhow I got carried away with posting and shouldn't have used someone else's pictures. It was all a dumb idea anyways and I regret it. Everyone return to normal and I'll do better things with my time and just feel really embarrassed about this whole thing from and never post again.

Some people were forgiving and understanding of GunChicka, which led to this golden post.

*with hope still in his heart that gunchicka might just be a bored hot babe that was posing as another equally hot babe, he closes his eyes thoughtfully* i...i forgive you. heck i even respect you..

Also, GunChicka has deleted all of their posts involving her fake condition, but they were fun.

There are definitely scholarships for having some level of Polish in you. Along with any other European ancestry.

I can see how someone could arrive at this conclusion in the 50s. My mother had a hard time getting into certain social circles and professional environments because a lot of older Canadians still had a bug up their rear end about Eastern European immigrants but a lot of that dissipated by the 70s. It still in no way compares to being not white and in 2015 literally no one would ever stop you from getting a job or housing for being a Polish person.

e: Also, that anal guy. Regardless of whether or not that is STDH it's still super creepy that someone would come up with that scenario and still conclude he would ever be owed sex.
