I haven’t read The Handmaid’s Tale nor watched the recent series, but the horror of that kind of dystopia is in having personal autonomy completely stripped away. The forced sex is only a small part of it.

Unless it means something involving electrical charges that I’m not aware of, there’s no such thing as “negative safety”. Zero safety, used in a very literal sense, would be instant annihilation; you can’t get less safe than that.

@Swede: “Divorce-rape” is when a woman marries a man for his money, has a few kids, and then divorces him in order to take half his wealth and continues to shake him down for “child support” (read: actually just goes to herself, because kids are “free”) so she can ride the gravy train for life without ever needing to work. While I’m not going to claim this has never happened, it’s not a realistic fear even for the rich because that’s not how divorce normally works.

Also, while it’s not impossible for a man to “divorce-rape” a woman, it’s way harder in a culture with even mild patriarchal tendencies. Just FYI.

There *is* a semi-obscure version of the rainbow flag which contains a white/brown/black wedge. It’s meant to represent race; a reminder that LGBTQIA+ aren’t just white people, and brown/black voices often get left out or even pushed out of conversations involving LGBTQIA+ rights and concerns.

That thing about purple not being a real color is probably a confused reference to magenta, which doesn’t exist on the rainbow since it’s red-purple.

If this were a person who had even the tiniest sliver of hope that one day they could become a decent person, I’d point out that meaningfully “helping someone” is virtually never the same thing as “being their accomplice”… but it’s you-know-who.

If being aware that non-straight people exist is “sexualizing” children, then fascinating how being aware that straight people exist isn’t. Like, shouldn’t you be doing everything you can to erase the existence of sex and teach children that if you pray really hard, God will give you a baby?

/s, But there do exist fundies who would prefer to take the “sexuality” out of “heterosexuality” as well, so…

Sh1v #sexist #psycho

The one good thing about revenge porn is that it’s gradually de-legitimizing and dis-empowering the idea that merely being associated with sex damages women’s reputations for life. That’s about the worst way to go about it, and that’s no comfort to those women whose lives *were* ruined as a result of such attitudes, but it’s something.

This, of course, does not make the people who do this any less terrible, and I hope some day it comes back to haunt them.

For some reason I’m imaging some fundies facing down cenobite-borg hybrids who say something like “Resistance is futile. You will convert. The lord wills it. Heretics burn in hell.” Even so, I wouldn’t wish that even on really shitty people.

Colic is now believed to be caused by poor gut bacteria. That’s probably fixable.

Overpopulation is usually caused by rising standards of living in populations which are experiencing cultural lag due to previously having had lower standards of living. Globally, it’s expected to level off around 2050.

The other things are not worth commenting on.

“Police Officer” is not the most dangerous profession. “Miner” is. The second most dangerous occupation is “Power Line Repair Technician”. Third is “Meat Packing Plant Operator”. Police don’t even make the top 10; even being a farmer or criminal lawyer is more dangerous than being a police officer. Allowing police officers excessive leeway in regards to self-defense doesn’t improve their personal safety (though it does increase their perception of personal safety); but it does increase the levels of violence inflicted on innocents and bystanders by both the police and criminals.

@NonProphet: Andrea Hardie (AKA Judgybitch) isn’t an incel. She’s a married, stay-at-home mom last I heard (which was admittedly a few years ago), has kids, and is a rabid misogynist. She apparently wants her sons to grow up hating women too. She claimed to have raped a man once, supposedly to prove that feminists don’t care about male victims and are thus hypocrites, but backpedaled after getting a lot of backlash from both her enemies and allies (really did not think that one through). Also supposedly bought a crossbow in hopes of one day shooting a feminist in the face (uncertain if that’s true or she made that up for attention). An asshole supreme, certainly; incel, no.

Well, Luna (Earth’s Moon) is definitely considered anomalous. Normally, moons are tiny relative to the planets they orbit, and above a certain point even two very differently-sized bodies both orbit each other and are considered a “double planet” instead (see Pluto and Charon), but nothing else like Luna exists in the Solar system - and is currently expected to be extremely rare elsewhere.

Of course, when you immediately jump from “anomalous” to “magic” or “demons” or “aliens”, this is based on no evidence whatsoever, and would not necessarily be a reasonable conclusion even if such things existed.

So they’ve finally noticed that not all incels are hideous. Does that make them change their ideology? Hahaha no.

Sadly I did see a little bit of that in the 90s, though. Back when a lot of people were “awakening” to “gay is okay” there was the occasional well-meaning but misguided person who would be all “I see a cute young man who isn’t pursuing girls, let’s help him out of the closet” which was usually wrong, and a bad idea even if they were closeted. Fortunately I haven’t seen that since then, so it’s probably died out, but if anyone sees someone pulling that shit, please give them a major smackdown.

@Titania: Not that this is meant to detract from your point (though it probably does a little) there’s a reason why rule of law is normally preferred - because unless a society is really devoted to pacifism, the murder rate is usually around 25-30%, i.e. there’s about 25-30% that your eventual cause of death will be murder. That doesn’t mean that people were randomly killing each other; it was often the only real way of dealing with repeated troublemakers - who were often abuse victims or people with special needs which were being ignored - and often the only way for abuse victims to make the abuse stop, which usually resulted in them being killed in revenge by their abuser’s relatives. Also a psychopath or a delusional idiot could often keep getting away with it for awhile if they could successfully appeal to supernatural justifications. That being said, societies lacking formal rule of law nearly always took a really dim view of rape, and it wasn’t unheard of for women to be expected to kill the rapist themselves while others held them down or otherwise made it easy, so…

There are probably some incels who value their own lives so little that they’d freely rape and murder in “revenge” even if they’d have a rather short lifespan as a result… provided that they managed to get over their crippling depression and didn’t otherwise meaningfully change as a result, which is a big if. I mean, they don’t actually need a lack of rule of law if they were really that motivated and self-destructive.

@frogflayer:

If you mean that they’re not considering women also being citizens, then you’d be correct. If you mean that they’re not considering this an oversight, you’d also be correct. If you’re thinking that this isn’t on purpose, you’re probably wrong.

Ap0calypse #sexist

Having your reality constantly challenged feels like gaslighting. And often, it is.

But look at, say, Flat Earthers. The vast majority of people find their arguments unconvincing if not absurd. Their views are challenged constantly by “globist propaganda” - information, ideas, and even news which inherently assume the world is round without necessarily stating it outright. I’ve even heard the argument that this refusal to entertain their views as having equal or greater validity to the normal consensus amounts to gaslighting them. But is it really? Not by the normal definition of the word. Even if they were correct that the world is flat, that would imply that the vast majority of people are claiming to believe the world is round for no reason except to abuse and/or manipulate Flat Earthers.

Having an extremely unpopular minority view constantly dismissed may feel bad, especially if you’re invested in it being an absolute truth, but it’s not gaslighting. But on the other hand, believing that it is can be tantamount to gaslighting yourself, so…

Gr8Believer #fundie #conspiracy #dunning-kruger

This sounds like big bang denialism. One of the issues with “steady-state” theory (the universe is infinite, always existed in its current form, and always will, is typically how the idea is presented) is why doesn’t every point in the sky eventually end at a star, resulting in the entire sky being blinding white. One of the possible solutions was “tired light”, where light gradually loses energy over time. At galactic distances, that would largely account for redshift but not blueshift.

Wait, I realized later that if they really could use magic to alter the collective will enough that their declarations of consent would become meaningful, then it’s because they magically mind-raped everyone, becoming the ultimate consent violator. I’d say that they didn’t think this through, except that I’m pretty sure that they are one of those people who believe that “rights” are an innate property of the fabric of the universe and not a product of collective will and effort.

This is weird and heteronormative new-agey claptrap which mashes up ideas from multiple religions. It’s not even wrong, and shouldn’t get a pass just because it tries to be sort of liberal-ish.

Pia Orleane, Ph.D. and Cullen Baird Smith #magick #conspiracy

You can certainly declare that you don’t consent to anything you want don’t want to, but for most of that, good luck making any of those declarations meaningful. Even with magic. Even the few things where the law is sort of on your side, that’s up to you not to be stupid about binding agreements, not up to other people who’ve never met you to make exceptions in advance.

The Death Star isn’t firing lasers anyway, unless space is made of really thick air. Which would explain a lot about how Star Wars physics works, actually. No, it’s firing antimatter plasma or something like that.

“Everything which can exist, does. But not creativity, originality, or invention, those aren’t real” is what I’m getting here.

That sounds like someone so disconnected from their own internal state that I’m honestly not sure how to meaningfully communicate with them if I ever met them.

“Common sense” is really just largely unspoken rules that it is expected that everyone will pick up on as children, even if there’s no logical reason why they’d do so without being told. It can include superstitious nonsense. It can include oppressive ideas. It’s highly culturally influenced. What is common sense in a small town may be different from a big city or a rural area; what is common sense in Korea might not be in Brazil and vice versa; what is common sense in a highly religious community can be very different from a highly secular one.

Arguments relying on “common sense” are meaningless; after all, common sense isn’t.

I’ve never really been the marrying or raising kids type. In the alternate reality where that happened, I’d very much not prefer to be a stay-at-home parent, thank you very much. My husband can do that, if it’s economically viable.

I don’t really do the bar scene… I only go to bars with someone I already know and am likely to have sex with later anyway. But I’m pretty sure that most women go to bars in groups to interfere with harassers and predators, not to protect each other from “their own bad decisions”.

One of the criticisms of postmodernism is that many of its followers treat science, religion, and magic as equally valid paths towards “truth”. However, it’s a philosophy with no inherent goals. If you think that it’s a pro-paganism movement, then you clearly don’t understand it. If you think that it’s anti-Christian, then that’s because it’s in some sense anti-everything - *all* structural, cultural, and philosophical frameworks are biased, including Christian ones.

David Cole #fundie

“Covenant” only means “binding pact”, but with religious undertones in some contexts. Marriage vows don’t typically demand that you “love and cherish” *only* the person before you, that’s usually just assumed. Also, poly people don’t always marry, sometimes in part because they can’t marry all their loves. In that case, no covenant.

Given his apparently very strict and specific ideas of religion, marriage, and covenants, I would suspect that he thinks that non-Christians can’t marry and Christians can’t divorce.

Selwyn Duke #transphobia #dunning-kruger

This type of proclamation is partially based on studies done in the 1960s. Using the original (outdated) terminology:

1. Someone does not become a “transsexual” until after sex-change surgery. (A definition which not everyone agreed with even back then.)
2. Transsexuals have more mental health problems on the average than the general public. (This was true.)
3. Therefore, sex-change surgery causes mental health problems. Or alternately, the real problem is mental health issues and a sex-change doesn’t help with that; fix those and it will be unnecessary. (Both are bad logic and you should feel bad.)

The trick buried in there is that #1 was used as an excuse to avoid before-and-after comparison for #3. To be fair there wasn’t nearly enough verifiable “before” data for the very first study, but that’s not a good excuse for the later ones.

Even that gets distorted by those who claim it as evidence. Everything else was pulled out of someone’s ass at some point because the anti-trans contingent needed it to be true.

Andrew Anglin #sexist #conspiracy #racist

I remember back in the ’00s when guys like this were whining about “waif-fu” being unrealistic. They sort of had a point sometimes, when they weren’t being hypocritical about being fine with breaks from reality when male characters were involved. It’s fine to be annoyed when something that you thought was going to cater to your particular fantasies turned out not to, but that doesn’t give you the right to dump on anyone else’s.

Now it’s gotten to the point where profoundly incompetent men insist that they’re hypercompetent just by being men and women are incompetent just by being women, and demand that both reality and entertainment conform to this just to assauge their egos. Boys, I got bad news for you.

Fitting that Anglin is one of their spokesmen, because he’s the poster boy for “profoundly incompetent”.

I doubt most incels would qualify for military service due to being out of shape. But if things ever got so bad that a draft was reinstated and basically anyone who makes halfway decent cannon fodder is in, which is unlikely because humanity would probably nuke itself out of existence first… prepare to meet an “accident” in fairly short order if you try anything funny.

On the home front, when there’s a lot of women but a severe dearth of men due to war, the ones who stayed behind because they’re rapey sociopaths tend to “mysteriously” end up with their brains bashed out. I wonder why.

FidelCashflow #psycho

@Vanto: No such thing anyway. “Reverse hypergamy” would technically be if most members of either or both binary sexes tried to “marry down” whenever possible. Even by the idiotic concept of hypergamy being “all women want Chad” a theoretical dearth of Chads doesn’t mean incels suddenly become high picks.
