Womyn of color breaks trauma-bonds of Colbert's privlo-cage

First off, I stole that incredibly hilarious thread title from here so all compliments to him for it.

Second, here's all you really need to know from this interview.

Whiteness will always be the enemy.

Irony, she does not grok it. Or maybe I just need to check my cismale heteronormative privilege. But I'm betting on the first thing.

Side note... the way the various fringe groups attack each other lately is funny.

Gays don't want to be associated with trans males who identify as lesbians, for instance.

[MillCreek]

If it is wrong to be a lesbian trapped in a man's body, then I don't want to be right.

Well, see... according to some elements of the gay community, transexuals, or people with gender identity issues, are "confused" and their biology dictates their gender.

SO basically, you're "born this way".... unless it's not an approved way. Then you're confused. Or something.


I find it tough to follow

Makes the Glock vs 1911 or AR-15 vs AK-47 debates seem quite tame and friendly in comparison. I for one hope they continue infighting, it leaves them less time to *expletive deleted* things over for the rest of us. Besides, it's fun to watch the battles between hardcore trans-activists who suddenly realize that there's such a thing as TERF (trans-exclusionary radical feminist), or the various white knight & allies who are attacked by trans-activists/feminists/other interest groups.

Nice chest piece man.

[JN01]

I read the interview, now my head hurts.  When that woman speaks, it's like she is puking a dictionary in random chunks. 

[Fitz]

I had that issue on facebook today with a cashier studying psychology trying to explain to me how the presence of a gun was the "stimulus" which caused the Fort Hood shooter to shoot people

She excused her from the discussion when I asked her how, if the gun was a stimulus, did whatever issue he had that made him crazy cause him to GET the gun, BRING IT to the post, etc.

"If the gun is the stimulus, then what was the stimulus that caused him to GET the "stimulus" and bring it to the post?"


"Well <insert some psychiatrist here" has a theory about *gobbledygook here* in which he states *gross misunderstanding of the topic*, so if you have a problem take it up with them"

then "you're arguing with people with PHDs all over the world"

I replied "No, i'm arguing with a cashier who is grossly misunderstanding the ideas of PHDs all over the world"


nothing further, then the topic was deleted.

[Balog]

That is awesome. :D

[Fitz]

That is awesome. :D

The best was when I asked for some info on his psychiatric condition that lead her to believe the gun was a "trigger" or a "stimulus," she said "we don't know what was going through his mind or what kind of issues he had, so we don't know blah blah blah"

Me: "So, you don't know anything about his condition, the meds he was on, or his treatment, and you feel qualified to call an inanimate object a stimulus?"

Exactly analogous to the brain which stimulated her to engage in the discussion...

I have my girlfriend convinced of this

[Scout26]

I fail to understand "victimhood".  I got about 3 sentences into the interview and MEGO.

Suck it up princess, he's a dancing monkey in the idiot box.  What he has to say means less then nothing to me.

[Balog]

This seems appropriate...

This needs to happen more, like times eleventy... always and more.

Did I mention "more"?

Reason number eleventy billion why I love my wife. She was channelling Jerry Clower

"I get flowers, I get a new car every few years, I don't have to kill spiders. I get doors held open for me... why are these people always trying to f**k that up for me?"

Because they don't have it, so no one else should either, dammit.

There is a DEFINITE nugget of truth to the assertion that feminism/rad-feminism is a product of ugly women who can't access the normal avenues of female power. 

[Ron]

My experience has been that the overall pool of women looking to break into the typical corporate power structure is smaller than the pool of males.

A goodly percentage of them just aren't very competent, just like in the pool of males.

This then leads to there being fewer competent females in corporate power structures than competent males. This unfortunately feeds into negative stereotypes.

When companies rig the game, hire and promote women who if they were men wouldn't get a second look they inadvertently create an incorrect perception of women's abilities, once again feeding a negative stereotype.

The problem with the so called progressives and women like the one in the OP is that women by and large have a different agenda than men, esp if children are in their equation.

Apparently it is the white males fault that women are biologically different than males and often have different agendas then white males.

Looking at the executives in my company, ugly men might have the same issue.
