If Feminism is about equality, why is it still only named after women?

I can offer two reasons: 1) There's no reason to change the name. 2) Men aren't being oppressed (excluding the oppression that "happens" in the imagination of MRA's)

If Feminism is really about equality, then what have Feminists ever sacrificed to help men achieve equality?

See (2) above.

You: oh, so that's why they remove useful features that everyone wants with every new release?

Wasn't everyone complaining about feature 'bloat' before? Damned if you do...

That's why they shove a godawful UI that nobody wants down everyone's throat?

I think by 'nobody' you mean 'a tiny minority'. It looks fine to me. What do you think is so awful about it?

Whatever the case may be, I'm not going to needlessly expend the energy to argue with you anymore.

I missed this bit earlier. Fine. If you hate my example, try this one from Lua:

a=10
b="011"
c="02"
print(a,b,c)
print(a

I'm hoping that there's a limit to your denial.

I'd like to leave my challenge open: Show me a case where PHP's == operator is intransitive without mixing types. Betcha can't.

No, it doesn't.

Yes, it does. That just basic math. a/c=a/d=b/c=b/d pretty obviously shows a transitive relation! How can you possibly deny this? (Try this, given A=B=C=D, then, by necessity, A=C, A=D, B=A, and B=C. As A=B and B=C so must A=C or A=C and C=D so must A=D, etc. Really simple stuff here. Well, unless you're an autodidact -- those guys have a lot of trouble with stuff like this.)

If you actually want to continue making "your" ridiculous claim, in face of evidence that makes it look foolish, you'll need to show me a case where PHP's == operator is intransitive without mixing types.

Betcha can't do that!

Have you checked to see if your local community college offers a remedial reading course?

Something silly (that you'll, hopefully, understand) to show you what that claim looks like to everyone who's thought about it for at least 30 seconds.

There you go.

The first half of your post has nothing to do with transitivity either, which I just explained in my response to your other post.

Which you admit you were completely wrong about in your other reply. It's time to let it go, man. The facts are not on your side.

You just told me a/c == a/d and a/d == b/d implies a/c == b/d. That would be an example of transitivity, I grant you that. The problem is that in the example you have, a/c != a/d:

Which is precisely what you asked for! If a=b and c=d then it follows that a/c=a/d=b/c=b/d In Python a/c !=b/d.

See, the complaint about intransitive operators is laughable nonsense. It's just like every other language in that == is transitive until you start mixing types.

I mean, you've just conceded my entire argument. What is the objection?

Although Javascript can be used on the server side, it's not so easy.

It's actually rather simple. Still, your complaint was that it was impossible. Hence, my post.

What do you need to run a Javascript program? A browser.

That's one way, sure. Or you could use something like node.js Just type node yourprogram.js and enjoy.

Not that I'm a node.js fan, but it's been a popular topic for a while. Your post strongly implied that you'd never heard of it.

Actually, it seems that YOU don't know what transitivity is. I'm not surprised. The autodidacts have taken over slashdot.

What you've shown is A == D and B == E does not imply A / D == B / E. Where the hell is the A == B statement?

Okay, basic math for you:
If a=b and c=d then a/c = a/d (as c=d) = b/c = b/d (as b=a and d=c)

Nice try, though. I'm sure your local community college has a remedial math course for you.
