[...] Almond Eyes post (thank FUCKING GOD) Thanks ABW, my new fave blogger thanks to Heather B. Sorta like that “Creeping Fox Terrier Clone” article I had to read for English class, or as JL would say, “Engrish.” Why liken ancestral horses to fox terriers? Why liken our eyes to Almonds? [...]

True – women hitting men are seen as hysterical, silly, out of control. Men are seen as taking a stand, doing what’s proper. I say the hitting should be a default if any man threatens you sexually. Call it swinging the pendulum the other way, but women everywhere should learn foremost not to accept that sort of behavior. To deal with it diplomatically is a “wisdom” and “brains” that is not called for in those sorts of situations. Fucking ridiculous.

Thanks for the Seelight link. Brilliant.

Dr. Helen is right that there’s a double standard between men and women. She just doesn’t understand that that’s the problem.

Another link to fan the flames of anger.

I posted a view on Dr. Helen's sexism that I haven't seen much elsewhere... That is, she denies women the brains to determine when violence is the best answer to a problem.

Haddayr: I’m with you on that one. I realize that there’s no reason to jump on her like a pack of voles, but she does need to be corrected. A lot.

WTF??

What is the Philosophy? In short, the Philosophy is very important knowledge. It is something that you would want to know. It is knowledge that you would consider important if you were to know it. The more that you know the Philosophy, the more that you want to know the Philosophy. It’s like anything that you like in your life, such as a kind of food or a person or a place. At first you didn’t like it because you didn’t know it. But after you got to know it, you learned that you like it. That is exactly how the Philosophy is. It is knowledge that you would want to have if you were to have it. But if you don’t already know it, why would you want to? You can’t miss what you don’t know. So if I’m the only one who knows the Philosophy, why should you? What incentive do you have to learn it?

I only made it that far. Then the silly monkey showed up again. With Chewbacca.

No, I take it back. Saying the person who wrote this is dumber than a sack full of hammers is an insult to sacks full of hammers everywhere.

Mr. “Critique” there would clearly be dumber than a sack full of hammers even if he wasn’t flat stupid wrong. “People should do X because X would be a good thing for people to do” — no one who starts an essay with that kind of construction should be allowed to use the word “epistemological” anywhere in the essay. Or, for that matter, to graduate from the third grade.

I know John said please don’t bash Dr. Helen, but I think she’s kinda dumb and boring. And I think Krissy is teH awesome.
