It’s more pernicious than that. Not knowing how to pronounce antithesis means you haven’t heard the word spoken before, not that you haven’t encountered it. That’s going to weed out a lot of people who expanded their vocabulary through reading, the must fundamental form of self education. 

If it helps I know plenty of men who weren’t abused by their dads who are still furious and fragile as hell about their masculinity.

That’s pretty standard manosphere language, which means it’s also alt-right language, and now Fox News language. Only a matter of time till it’s a presidential tweet!

You’d think, but there have been active campaigns to change the law in states like New Jersey, and they end up getting shot down by old Christian men who think the only answer for a pregnant teen is a wedding ring.

That falls under ‘cheapest way possible.’ As I said, he could have just done pizza for the same money and it would have at least held up to being served banquet style.

It’s a strange person who thinks don’t celebrate a domestic violence is means being nice to someone. And by strange I mean typical misogynist playing anti-fascist dress up.

Yeah, Clemson has a ‘coach’ who is really the chef/nutritionist in charge of the players diets. That being said, for a bunch of 19 year-olds who eat healthy all the time, fast food may actually seem like a real treat. If only isn’t wasn’t being served up by a black-hole of charisma in the cheapest way possible. If any…

People attribute self-harm and disordered eating to cultural pressure about feminine traits all the time. The difference is women have a multiple decades head-start on critically looking at femininity as a cultural construct, and pushing back against the obviously unhealthy parts.

Not supporting wife-beating= weird political shit. Gotcha.

This weird thing you have where you keep insisting that no one can make you feel sympathy for a Nazi when no one is asking you to, totally doesn’t make you seem like a misogynist incapable of viewing women outside a narrow whore/victim dichotomy.

People who don’t want women to get beaten are the real Nazis. Gotcha.

And maybe in a world where misogyny and intimate partner violence were taken seriously he wouldn’t be. But as you can see in this thread, it’s a lot more important that we get to talk about how deserving this woman was of the violence her husband inflicted on her.

So we’re back to wife beating is ok if the right wives get beaten. Is it any wonder we’ve got Nazis on the rise again.

I’m not arguing that punching people in the face is wrong. I’m arguing that wife-beating is wrong, and deserves broad condemnation instead of gleeful handclaps when the victim is a shitty person themselves. We wouldn’t be having this conversation if Kouprinova got hit for being a Nazi like her shit husband did. But…

So wife-beating is ok as long as it’s the right wife. Gotcha.

For being a nazi? I’m just asking because you seem to think being a wife-beater is a mark in Spencer’s favor.

For being Nazis, not for being women. It’s not a zero-sum game; you don’t have to think Kouprianova is a sainted victim to find Spencer an even more garbage human for being a wife beater.

Spencer didn’t beat Kouriamova because she was racist; he did it because she was a woman and he’s a violent misogynist. Since misogyny is the recruitment ground for the current white supremacist movement, it’d be nice if people would stop giving garbage like Spencer a pass on it because they hit the right woman.

I kept having to remind myself it was just plants and not some alien creature because it’s so clearly not muscle tissue when you look at it. Maybe if I hadn’t had meat in five years or something it would seem like a real treat, but it’s just too weird when you clearly recall the real thing.

I’ve had it, and while it tastes good, the whole bleeding/meat-like texture is disquieting. It’s similar to an uncanny valley response, where the closer you get to the real thing, the more disgusting it seems.
