I’ve always considered myself a feminist, but I used to be one of those teenagers who assumed the awesome ladies before me had solved everything. But Boobquake made me wake up. What I originally envisioned as an empowering event about supporting women’s freedoms and calling out dangerous superstitious thinking devolved into “Show us your tits!” I received sexual invitations from strangers around the country. When I appeared or spoke at atheist events, there was always a flood of comments about my chest and appearance.
So, faced with a choice between a little human empathy and compassion and the chance to make a boob joke you go with the boob joke.

Way to prove her point there Pappa you ignorant fuck.

Well boobquake was a success then. It proved we men are animals and thus those Iranian theocrats had a point after all.

Oh wait!

That's more of a PZ thing.

I think A+ers at least have enough sense to not order people to shove decaying porcupines up their rectums. I wonder if that ever triggered something in a sexually abused person. :thinks:
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

1. If sufficiently decayed, it may not be spiny any more. Slimy, sure, but not spiny...
2. Ordering is one thing, obeying is another...
3. In any case, I always prefer the old stand-by, "Go stick your head up a dead bear's bum"

Well, a short time back PZ finally stepped in and said enough with the porcupines. I think the current favorite may be "die in a fire". Which leads to the odd idea that telling someone to (perhaps) kill themselves or (perhaps) be murdered by an arsonist, isn't a threat. So carrying that thought forward, if someone writes, say, Watson or Jen, and says they hope they kill themselves, that's not a threat. I mean, unless the A+ people like wowbagger (the latest I know about) aren't above making internet threats to people - that would be hypocritical of them. Can't be.

I don't know about deferential, but any sympathy for them might just be generated by the simple fact that they are being hounded and abused by people demonstrating exactly the same attitudes and tactics that they were complaining about in the first place........

The sheer irony of it is killing me.

Out of the people that ever were, almost all of them are dead.
There are way more dead people, and you're all gonna die
and then you're gonna be dead for way longer than you're alive.
Like that's mostly what you're ever gonna be.
You're just dead people that didn't die yet.
