He does not sound very yogic. We’re lucky in as much as in London the studio owners are pretty much all very decent people. He sounds like a tool. The ones I spoke to about it were like “yes, it’s very troubling, we’re keeping an eye on it, we trust that the judicial system will do its own work, meantime the yoga…

Well, the rapist thing isn’t specifically about interacting with girls and women. He shouldn’t rape men either.

I would love for him to not equate “looks like me” (white, privileged, and male) with “merit”, which I think is at the root of a lot of discrimination. Also, I intend to teach him not to be a rapist.

Young people: Look into women’s colleges. It’s amazing—women’s colleges make up, like, 3% of colleges, but something like ten thousand percent of women in leadership positions (rough estimate) went to women’s colleges. It’s very differently empowering and it certainly doesn’t leave you in any way unprepared for “real”…

We should start using it against those evolutionary psychology Neanderthals and argue that men should be kept out of positions of power because they can’t control their biological urges. It would be a funny exercise to try. Watch them squirm.

Not true! They are also interested in their own ethnic superiority.

Incidentally I also see “hardwired” as a dogwhistle.

I’m an Anglo-Saxonist (and actually used to be active on Jezebel a few years ago, hi to those of you who are still here), and obviously have been following this since Frantzen’s blog post first came to light. Also obviously I have Feelings and Thoughts about Frantzen, mostly involving him walking around with a…

Yes. For me “interested in evolutionary psychology” is a dogwhistle for MRA. A few years ago I tried reading some evo-psych stuff because I was curious about the development of PMS and menopause, but quickly I realized those people only seem to write about men’s “hardwired” sexual urges.

I don’t have any idea what he even thinks he’s talking about. My partner loves me because he is a straight man. Loving his female partner is not a compromise on his part or a trick I am pulling on him. That isn’t “femfog.” That’s heterosexuality, emotional maturity, and the conscious choice to be monogamous.

What baffles me is why a gay man is telling straight men that not being nice to women is a good way to have sex with them. How would he know?

I completely agree; the amount of boobs and dicks that make it onto the mainpage is disconcerting, at best.

The old school sexist professor who says “sleep with me and I’ll give you an A” is evil and remains far more widespread than he ought to be. That said, I think the greatest and most pernicious new danger we face is the evolutionary psychology/biology bullshit young academic. The men who grew up weened on the internet…

I love it when people act like treating each other like human beings is some huge inconvenience that requires a ton of their effort to comply to. Certainly there are issues that require a little knowledge and nuance, but 99% is just "treat other people as human beings." I think it says a lot about these people that…

The last thing this world needs is another middle aged white man weighing in on anything but here it is: for Crimminy’s sake I am sick to death of my fellow white males feeling threatened by other view points, ideas, or the prospect of considerate, equal society. Seriously fuck these misogynists with their own self…

Dammit.

Give it a second.

6.4 million in punitive damages? Seems like a bit of a stretch.

I think we’ve crossed from hubris into fully blown egomania. He’s announcing his candidacy next week.
