At its core, I think violence against women happens in India for similar reasons it happens in North America. Yes, many aspects of culture and religion are different but at its core it comes down to: comparatively lower social status of women in general, very low social status of women from the Dalit and other…

That is funny and sad at same time. It's been ages since I read about the history of Judeo-Christian mythologies but if I recall the Garden of Eden was supposed to be somewhere between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers? The early center of early wheat farming in the Middle East, I think. Anyway, ol' Joseph Smith…

Wooden submarines? Were they painted yellow? *Cues the music*

Yes. As a Native American I resent the hell out of the LDS church -for years they had a program of doing their damndest to steal as many Indian kids as they could to make them 'white and delightsome' by raising them Mormon cuz Indians are the lost tribe of Israel (except all the linguistic, archaeological and genetic…

I don't read Futrelle often but from what I have read it is highly unlikely he wd excuse violence. That doesn't fit with what I've read of his work.

Nope. Try linkies here, you'll see: http://wehuntedthemammoth.com/

A good place (well...'good' being a relative term here) to start is http://wehuntedthemammoth.com/. This site, run by Dave Futrelle, catalogs some of the more colorful crap from a variety of MRA sites and subreddits. He also has a lot of links on the sidebar to these sites. If you want to go wading thru those…

well if it quacks like a duck, and walks like a duck...

Gosh golly gee, maybe it's cuz these poisonous attitudes in our culture fuels rape, abuse and inspires homicidal maniacs like this creep.

Only MRAs I've ever seen don't work on legal and cultural issues that disproportionately affect men; they are just a bunch of misogynists. They are like the KKK, but mostly whine about women instead of PoC. Men who really care about these issues don't generally seem to use the label 'MRA'.

Maybe you should ask that question of yourself.

LuckyStampede, in most Native American cultures eagle feathers ARE religious items. In some cultures (notably Plains) feathers for headdresses are earned through acts of bravery and /or other services to the People. Many others believe eagles carry prayers to the heavens.

More fun stuff Phil the Duck has said in sermons: in 2009 he was blathering at a 'Sportmen's ministry' and advised men should marry 15 or 16 year old girls. They are too old at 20. Yeah.

Many of these kids don't get educated, because many states have very poor oversight/testing protocols of homeschooled kids. Of course many homeschoolers are conscientious, but many families who are part of the Quiverfull and Christian Patriarchy movements (like the Duggars) are shitty homeschoolers. There are horror…

Calmer than you are dude.

I also find it kind of funny that Greta is interviewing that creepy little weasel Ralph Reed about the alleged War on Easter. Greta van Susteren is a Scientologist - WTF does she case about Easter? ('Course, Reed is just in it all to chase money - he doesn't really give a damn about anything but that).

BARF yeah I lived in OR when Lon Mabon and his OCA was up to all that anti-gay shit. It was awful, then and now I had gay friends and relatives and I was very afraid for them. Every time that Lon's ugly mustached mug was on the teevee I raged.

I grew up in SW Oregon, later spent a bit of time living in Portland, Corvallis, Eugene. Culturally and politically the state is an odd mix. Lots of liberals in Portland and some Willamette Valley towns, some enclaves of what I guess could be called hippy types in the coast range and the coast. (I have friends in…

LOL Rite cuz that is the ONLY thing that is important! GUFFAW. You poor clueless git, you live in such a narrow world I almost feel sorry for you. How little you see and understand, living in your self imposed cage of stupid.

Uh huh cuz in your tiny cinder of a mind, a woman ain't worth nuthin' if she's not respected by a man. Christ on a cracker what tired horseshit. Kindly time travel right the fuck back to 1850, creep.
