I think people are disgusted that, in addition to attacking affirmative action, she's also massively entitled. It's like if the man in your example happened to be an obviously unqualified candidate anyway. It's just extra bullshit
Who says the individual is the most important thing in a society? That's an awfully big assumption to make. I know it's a common one, but it's not one that should go unexamined.
If you say you score each applicant on a 100 point system, your current employees are overwhelmingly men, and so you give female applicants a five point bonus... fuck the guy who sued, and I hope he loses. The employer came up with a system to remediate a problem. There are clear advantages to not having a…
I know this is really hard for a lot of people to understand, but bigotry is about power.
Pro Publica published an investigative report on this. It's true whether you or the Supreme Court are convinced by it.
Several white people with lower GPAs also got in. In addition to her merely good GPA, she had no club membership or community involvement.
UT is an extremely competitive school to get in to. She might as well have applied to Harvard. She didn't even have any community involvement or club membership. Honestly, even if she were a minority, she probably would not have made it in.
I don't know if it's common knowledge, but UT is one of the hardest schools to get into in the country. It's Ivy League levels of exclusive.
The Game was not a fringy work, and I found it pretty goddamn sexist. Ladder theory, when it was popular, was not fringe. If I go to Reddit's PUA board, I would not have to scroll down to find an avid discussion where women are talked about in an unacceptable way.
That's reasonable. I think everyone's learned some useful things from some questionable sources.
Look, even if there are positive aspects to it, it does not really matter. There is some serious, mainstream misogyny in PUA culture. It's not like The Game is a fringy tome. It's not like if I open Reddit's PUA subfora, I would have to read long AT ALL to find a large number of people talking about women in a…
I am not assuming the worst. I have two eyes, a brain, and I can read. I have met guys who practice PUA. The way PUA texts talk about women is appalling, and denying that a lot of the "routines" presented are anything but abusive or manipulative is ridiculous, as is pretending those aspects are fringy. They…
Well, we're at the point in the conversation where you miss the point.
OMG.
Yep. It's pretty much individual and someone prerogative.
Yes, don't get hung up on a single person ("fuck ten other women," "abundance mentality," am I rite?), but you don't passively stand at a bar with a powdered ass and stupid hat looking pretty. You walk up to a specific woman you want and you manipulate the shit out of that woman or the women around her. Er, excuse…
Seriously. It's not like I'm a goddamn model because I have turned down someone I wasn't attracted to a couple of times. I didn't sit there and call Skelatron "ugly" until his or her actions showed they had an ugly demeanor.
You said you don't turn down sex because you don't get hit on a lot, and now you're knee deep in pussy when you need to win an argument. Shut the fuck up.
Uh, PUA texts frequently talk about how to go after specific targets (and what kind of women to target), and often chides men for not more aggressively going after women instead of sitting passively and waiting for a woman.
