james_davis_nicoll | What about the men!?

Entry tags:

We've been thinking about the men for the past 5000+ years.

Huh. I always thought feminism was about equality, not revenge. Silly me!

I shall labor under that misimpression no longer, and quite possibly become one of those tiresome Men's Rights advocates while I'm at it.

Under the No True Scotsman rule, I'd guess that the author of the article is also a tool of the evil patriarchy, right?

Tone makes a difference here. I was thinking of it as a grimly amused statement of fact, rather than a "get out the torches" manifesto.

I admire how polite you are to the angry mainsplainer. The whole "I've read a list of rhetorical fallacies and will now use them in my strawman argument." is kind of cute, but the "criticism equals revenge" thing is annoyingly stupid.

So Abigail Johnson is actually a terrible quisling? Did you tell her that to her face? Just wondering here.

It's terribly easy to snark about how horrible people are behind their backs after all.

No, I did not, because I was not referring to Ms. Johnson or her article directly. I was responding to the post, "Won't someone please think about the men!?" which was itself, I assume, an ironic comment.

Dude, "become"? Worry not about the journey, you've arrived and have a homestead in Tiresome.

Wow, you sure are awfully quick to leap to your conclusions. It's almost as if you've become what you purport to decry.

Are you trolling or are you just embarrassing?

Well, let's put it this way: I dislike participating in public lynch mobs. If that requires having idiots be angry, then, well, let the idiots be angry.

Public lynch mobs...

Yeah, okay, you're just plain embarrassing.

So, you're with the lynch mob, is that what you're saying?

I'll embarrassed for you, bb, since you don't seem to have the self-awareness to do it yourself.

Your attempts at trolling are painful to watch.

I'll trolled for you, since you don't afraid of any grammar difficulties. Also, self-awareness not an issue, but (to abandon the fractured grammar you seem to enjoy employing) I do enjoy making stupid people throw their stupidity into sharp relief for my own enjoyment.

Saying "Hahahaha no" isn't *actually* *exactly* the same as murdering someone in order to terrorise the segment of the population to whom s/he belongs. There's this subtle difference.

JSYK. HTH, HAND.

You're not smart enough to understand what a "metaphor" is, I see.

"Wow, you sure are awfully quick to leap to your conclusions"

Pot, kettle, black.

So "black" is a negative thing, is that what you're saying? Just checking to make sure whether I'm dealing with a racist or not.

Me, I like black. It's the colour of a nice night sky where you can see the stars.

So really, you think that black is just a background to the important stuff, namely white stars? Gosh, this reading your mind stuff is fun!

I think you're figuring this game out.

Mmmm, nicely played!

Infrastructure is in place and it's about time to start thinking about incorporating!

Tiresome Men's Rights Village may not yet have a train system, but it does have a public supply of high horses.

Where's the "LIKE" button on this journal?

Huh. I always thought feminism was about equality, not revenge. Silly me!

Ah, I wondered why this thread got to so many replies. Now I know.
