Comment Re:It's about money. (Score 2, Interesting) 289

To be fair, Cooper only opposed gay marriage because, as he pointed out, it's his job as AG to represent the state of North Carolina. He was on record as opposing the ban.

He was lying. [aside]You can tell when politicians do that by checking to see if their lips are moving.[/aside]. Virginia's Attorney General was in a similar position, except it wasn't just a state law, it was written into the state Constitution. Yet he still refused to uphold the law. So Cooper was just blowing smoke up your ass. He defended the anti-gay marriage law because he decided that was the most politically beneficial position, and had a handy excuse to use for doing it.

Does logic warp in the presence of such accusations? Do valid points become invalid if countered with claims of misogyny? Is 2 = 2 somehow not correct because the author was accused of being an MRA (and therefore bad by association)? How do you rationalise away the valid points about discrimination against men by claiming that arbitrary persons attack arbitrary women?

Do all MRA cucks tend to write in the style of movie supervillains?

Instead of coming up with some diversionary snide remark, you should have just apologized and acknowledged that "You're right, fey000, I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about. As usual."

Has there ever been marginalized group that has demanded and fought for greater rights and acceptance that did not eventually gain them?

NAMBLA is an organization based in New York and San Francisco that wants to reform age of consent laws. What progress has it made?

Well they were featured in more than one South Park episode. That certainly progress in spreading awareness of their .... "cause".

Why does Mrs. Clinton pay women on her staff 87 cents for each dollar she pays men? Why does Obama pay women 78 cents for each dollar he pays men on his staff?

Probably because both of those statistics derive from studies using flawed/dishonest methodology?

To be fair, it's the exact same flawed/dishonest methodology used by SJWs when they claim that women are paid 78 cents for every dollar than men make.

Comment Re:Do we really need a artcle about so called sexi (Score 0) 613

This story probably sparked the recent interest.

The reaction to the reviewer's comments were way overblown - he was addressing the topic. It was a social science paper. If 5 males had written a paper that concluded men are better drivers than women, a very subtle way to ask the authors to review their findings would be to suggest the partner with some female researchers to ensure their paper doesn't come off as having a biased viewpoint. This one was no different.
